Pad see ew, Rangoon, satay, fried rice
Chris C.

I had delivery so can't speak to service or ambiance. The food was just okay. Definitely have had better at this price point. Fried rice was bland, pad see eew has a kind weird texture. Noodles a little undercooked and the sauce had a mouth feel like separated cheese... the Rangoon and satay chicken were also just okay.

Soggy General Tso's with recooked broccoli

We ordered take out so we know it's not as good as when it's served in the restaurant We've had better take out from other restaurants in the past. The General Tso's chicken was soggy and bland. The broccoli was soggy and overcooked. The Massaman's curry was ok, but very bland. The Kung Pao chicken was ok but also bland. They need to cook with more spices. None of the dishes were spicy either. The stir fried rice didn't taste like it was stir fried. The food tasted like it was leftovers that were reheated. The salad was rusty and we didn't even eat it.

Thai basil Stir fry

Paid 17 dollars to get a container half way filled. When I called to ask why my container was half full he said that's our standard portions. So I asked why they use standard size containers and only fill half way to which he replied this is the cheapest box we can buy. This explains why their rating is so low. They cheap out on everything. I'll never buy from rainbow again. Over priced garbage. Tastes like it came out of a bag and heated it up.

Spring rolls, General Tso, Beef Lomain

Really good food and stays open late. Loved the lo Main!! The beef and broccoli was also really tasty. Portions were really good for the price Update: explored the menu more. Got the spring rolls and they were super delicious. Definitely our new go-to Asian food pick-up

Fresh spring rolls
Michael B.

This is a mixed review - high points of my dining experience, and not so high points. First off, the fresh rolls I ordered were good. I liked the peanut dipping sauce that came with it too. It also came with a salad, which, while iceberg lettuce is nothing to crow about (and in their defense, most Asian places will serve salads like this), the dressing was pretty tasty, and the crunchy noodles on top were nice too. The main reason I wanted to try this place was that I heard they had pho (Vietnamese soup with rice noodles) which, aside from Angkor Bistro, is impossible to find in the area. Though the portion size was generous, the flavor and composition left a lot to be desired. No peppers or Thai basil were served as garnishes for flavor (they did have bean sprouts, lime, and cilantro though), and many seasonings and ingredients that you would expect in a bowl of pho were lacking. That being said, I wouldn't be against returning to try some of the Thai dishes. Pho is a specialty and rare is the restaurant that gets it 100% right, so not completely fair to judge a restaurant based on one dish. (Again, 3 stars is NOT a bad rating!) The staff here were plenty friendly too and loved the atmosphere with the 70s soul/R&B music, so no complaints there. Not in a hurry to get back, but not against trying again.

They have pho???

For a little while there, this was my buddies and I's go to place to dine at after a long day at work because they stay open late as mentioned in my original review. Our last visit here at around 11pm we came in and seated ourselves as usual. Bar area was packed. About 5 minutes later a young fella came by and told us that if we're gonna dine in to eat, they are not sure that they'll have time to attend to us and even if they do the food can take hours. We were 1 of 3 tables in the dining area. We couldn't believe what we just heard! Haha! Thought it was a joke at first... but he walked away, and never came back. That's when we got the message and left. I never minded the tacky decor, the really bad menu items (I can work around that since they have a great selection of other edibles), never minded the bar crowd (some acting like it's "the" premier night club), the smokers who gather around the front door (smoke doesn't bother me anyway), the spotty service, etc etc etc. Never minded any of that because we go there to eat and talk business anyway so during late nights in the dining area it's great for that kind of stuff. But to hear THAT? This is Rainbow Asian Cuisine, a mediocre Asian restaurant in JC (where I have NEVER seen an Asian person working here)... not the current hot spot in NYC. I ain't waiting hours for my food here WITH the possibility of not even being served at all. No way. Never coming back and they just lost a consistent customer here.

It was so much fun to watch our server, Shay, was super fun and sweet.. Quick witted fellow!! Made it so much fun!

I'm confused on where this is because when we went there we thought it was supposed to be Stir Fry…read moreCafe and it was this place. Anyways, I think it's brand new and it's a wonderful place to eat. The service was GREAT. The server and the host were extremely friendly and I couldn't believe how many times she made sure we were doing okay and refilled our drinks right when we needed them. It could have been because it was getting late and not as many people were there, but oh well I was happy. The food was delicious. Lettuce wrap - yummy! Tofu and it doesn't even seem like it, it was so tasty. They bring out a free wonton appetizer and different dipping sauce and you can mix them together too. I got the sweet and sour shrimp, very good, the rice was a little dry but it still tasted pretty good. My boyfriend got a spicy tofu dish, I can't remember what it was but I know he enjoyed it and it was pretty spicy for him. But we both enjoyed it very much. Mango tea - MMM. Bits of mango in it, but not too sweet, more like an unsweetened iced tea with a touch of mango. I'm not usually a fan of unsweetened iced tea but this was good! TRY IT!

Ordered the Sesame Chicken. It was sooo overcooked, actually could not eat it. Went in to tell…read moreher and she did nothing about it...no refund, no new order. Customer service at its worse.
