A little slow and typically add 15 minutes to the oder time. It is worth the wait. E erything is hot and fresh and serving sizes are always great. The ownership is always friendly read more

The food was hot, fresh and delicious! Best Chinese take out I have had in quite some time. Service was speedy and friendly.

New to area...neighbors had recommended this place. Meh. Bland spices and gristly chicken. There you have it.

It's decent food but even when you call in, you're guaranteed to wait for some amount of time for your food. We've been here several times and every time we have called in and had to wait at least 10 minutes. Our most recent trip we called around 5:20 and didn't get our food until after 6. read more

There was nothing good about any of my food. Even the sweet tea was lacking. The egg drop soup was watery and tasted as if it had dish water in it. The General Tso's was sweet and the pork fried rice had no pork bits in it. The chicken lo mein was beyond salty and the fried dumplings shared the same problem. I wouldn't recommend this place. read more

Slow and not worth the wait. They took my order over the phone and said it would take 30 minutes. When I arrived 30 minutes later and paid, that's when they started working on my order. I don't know if they have had a bunch of no shows, but I won't be back because the food was just fair at best. read more

It's not often I find a Chinese Restaurant and I love all of my food. And the service was nice. I had the classic shrimp fried rice and egg drop soup. read more

bland flavor for an elongated wait. overcooked meats. Dumplings were falling apart. A pass for me.

Favorite Chinese place in Oconee County. Sesame chicken and bourbon chicken is the best.

Having lived in Hawaii, I am picky about asian cuisine. To be honest, I usually only eat Chinese food in places with large Chinese populations (DC, Honolulu, Boston) or if I'm really hungry, I'll choke down some beef broccoli or kung pao chicken. I liked Rainbow Garden. We ordered steamed mixed vegetables ($5.95), General Tso's Chicken combo plate ($6.75), hot & spicy chicken (7.95), chicken with broccoli, rice, egg rolls and fried Chinese donuts. (The donuts are complimentary with orders of $25.00+ and were surprisingly very yummy). We called in the order then picked it up. The person at the counter was very nice and our food was boxed quickly. I asked for red chili sauce and she kindly gave me red chili oil. Different from the sauce but just as good, if not better. *If you want red chili oil, ask! It is refrigerated. The food was good. The combo plate food came in a plastic container with a snap-on lid. Reusable! =) I really appreciated that. The chicken with broccoli was my favorite as was the General Tso's chicken. The hot & spicy chicken was so-so. After 6 days, it is still sitting in the fridge. If you like onions and peppers, you might enjoy it. I normally do, but just something about this dish, perhaps the sauce or maybe the proportion of peppers, onions and meat ... Idk ,,, just really didn't leave me clamoring to gluttony. The people were very nice. And I appreciated the nice extras ... complimentary donuts, the red chili oil, the plastic containers ... General Tso's chicken! =) read more

We are new to the area and have tried a number of Chinese restaurants but finally got to yours for take-out last night. Most had been disappointing but yours is just great! We'll be back. Thanks for a very good meal. You are what we've been looking for. read more

A step above the standard shopping center Chinese with very fresh food and friendly service. Maybe takes a bit longer than you think, but most places do. Very much cooked to order so everything tastes fresh and portions are large, so it ends up being a good value for leftovers. The healthy steamed options are particularly good. Shrimp egg rolls are yummy! Bojangles is across the street if you need faster food. A bit of patience and grace for this small, family run business will be rewarded in good food for a fair price. read more

The food is always good, this is definitely my go to Chinese restaurant, but they take forever. I'm talking they say "30 minutes", I wait 45 because I know they take forever, and when I get there they STILL say it'll be a few minutes. I only ordered a small beef and broccoli and 2 spring rolls. This was on a Tuesday evening too, I was the only one when I pulled up and got into the restaurant. So again, I love the food, it just takes longer than it should. read more

The best feature of this Chinese takeout is no MSG, but I I've stayed away from the typical signature chinese dishes. Good if you order healthy things like Broccoli beef, chow mein and Chop Suey. I moved out of that area, 3 years ago and haven't been back, but I remembered enough to give them good rating once I joined Yelp. I don't go to Chinese takeout for the service so don't be surprised if all you hear is the money due after ordering. read more

This is by far the best Chinese food in the area. The food is always hot, flavorful, and fresh. Best sauce for Chinese food in the area, and also the people that run it are really nice. Prices are good, just everything is really good! read more

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME PHONING AN ORDER IN! The food is OK, and affordable. People go to Chinese takeout restaurants for decent, quick, convenient food. My wife called in an order, and was told that it would be ready in 20-25 minutes. I arrived to pick it up 25 minutes later. She repeated the order to me and asked for the payment. THEN she told the cook to START MY ORDER! Having already paid, I was hostage for the next 25 minutes, while the food was prepared. (No, we have never called in an order that we did not pick up). After I politely complained, she replied "we are busy", and walked away. A man awaiting his order, said that the same thing had been done to him twice. read more

They need to learn how to make spicy dishes actually spicy. It's shameful to get General Tso and it not be spicy. Also the pepper steak could use a bit more seasoning too! read more

We just moved nearby and love this place. i have to admit this place is definitely one of the best Chinese restaurants I have eaten at in a long time. Definitely coming back. read more

Typical Chinese food and prices. Cashier is semi rude and not very welcoming. Nothing special especially considering the other options just a mile or two down the road. read more

It's not amazing, but other reviewers are being too hard on this place. It's better than or as good as any of the other Chinese places around, and their service is super fast. Well priced, cheapest lunch specials around. read more

They have great lunch prices that are great if you're on a college budget. The food isn't perfect but it is always really tasty. I would recommend rainbow garden to anyone read more

Giving them a good review because they've learned how to have my food ready when I get there and lets face it no Chinese food is good around here. But they're decent and here's the trick people.... if you want your food ready and waiting for you learn how to tip! read more

My wife and I are very picky about the Chinese restaurants that we frequent. The oil and vegetables must be fresh!!! We have eaten in Chinese restaurants from NY to San Francisco and the Rainbow Garden is as good as any of the best Chinese Restaurants we have eaten in. Rainbow Garden is primarily a take out restaurant and we have NEVER had a bad meal!!' read more

I'm a local and have been going to rainbow garden for years. I have visited several Chinese restaurants and they are better than most. They will prepare your order to special specifications if you need. You only have to ask. The prices are very good and the proportions and very generous. One meal is usually enough for 2. The staff is always pleasant. I'm lucky to have them so close to me. read more
