    Sesame chicken and pork fried rice, chicken lo mein (no vegetables)
    Samantha B.

    Ordered food through DoorDash. First time ordering from here and receive my food ridiculously fast. Followed my special request of no veggies in the lo mein. Pretty good. Ordered sesame chicken, chicken lo mein, wonton soup and chicken teriyaki. Wonton soup was ok. Didn't care much for the chicken teriyaki but otherwise it was pretty good.

    My food was so good love everything about this place the sweet tea is amazing and the egg rolls are my favorite chicken is cooked to perfection

    I don't know why, but Mom wanted to have Chinese for dinner and "quick-order" Chinese to boot. Mom went with a chicken and broccoli. She's been here before so she knew to ask for the broccoli "well done" since it's usually rather crunchy. I ordered a simple pork lo mein, sticking to a classic that they would have no problem preparing. And yes, it was done nicely with plenty of pork in there and the pork fried rice with it was excellent. A little hot mustard and we were at perfect. The restaurant isn't fancy and it isn't somewhere to look for "traditional" or "authentic" Chinese but it is definitely classic "Americanized Chinese" and that is perfectly okay.

    This supposed to Mongolian beef. It looks like MONGOLIAN ONIONS.

    Ok so Covid household so we ordered door dash and picked rainbow garden for the 4.7 star reviews. We had sweet n sour chicken. My dil and granddaughter had this but for $11 the serving was small. My son ordered Mongolian beef but it was 1 pound of white onions, a sprinkling of green onions(had to look for them) and maybe 4oz. of beef. SERIOUSLY! NO LIE! We had to look for the meat! It should be called MONGOLIAN ONIONS! The wings were crispy but really small. Normally Chinese restaurant wings are huge. These were small. $8 for 4 small wings. The hot n sour soup was good but had no meat(pork and chicken strips are a mainstay) and no tofu. Flavor was good. There were plenty of wontons in the wonton soup so that was nice. But for $51 it was DEFINITELY NOT WORTH IT! Chinese food has always been affordable but this was ridiculous.

    Our Chinese spot close by the house! Always very clean inside with fresh, cooked to order Chinese. They have a clean flavor profile and always hits the spot. The family special is a great option that will leave you with plenty left over. They also have a diet menu. Overall, if you want a clean establishment with fresh takeout (or eat in) Chinese, this place won't upset you. Definitely worth a try.

    Just tried this place from the reviews and its pretty good! Decent prices and delicious food!

    Beware...this METAL shaving was in my lo mein. It' 1.25 inch long.

    Never again. Got house special lo mein. Tasted good until I found myself chewing on a 1.25" metal shaving. Had I swallowed it, it was sharp enough to lacerate my esophagus, intestine, etc. I have reported this to the health dept. Eat here with CAUTION. Picture has been uploaded as proof.

    There's nothing but nasty bland over cooked rice, onions, and 4 pieces of Chicken. Chicken Fried Rice ladies and gentlemen.

    How this place has anything more than 2 stars I guess I will never know.. I ordered a simple beef lo mein and chicken fried rice. For lack of better terms, this was THE WORST Chinese take out I've ever tasted. Let's be real here, this is just chinese take out, I'm not expecting much here. I'm not walking into a Mcdonald's expecting a perfect Kobe Steak Burger. Just some noodles and fried rice. My LARGE beef lo main had about 9 slices of celery (?!) in it, a SINGLE piece of green onion lost in there, and I kid you not, 8 tiny shrubs of "beef". Not to mention it was SO BAD TASTING. It was SOUR. My chicken fried rice was even worse. There was nothing but rice in it. I had 4 pieces of chicken in it. It tasted so bland that I had to put it in my frying pan, re-cooked and re-season the whole thing. Take a look at the photo of my "Chicken Fried Rice" when I poured it out into my pan, it's pathetic. COMPLETELY DEFEATED THE PURPOSE OF ORDERING TAKE OUT. I ENDED UP COOKING ANYWAY. This place is a sorry excuse for a business. If I could give ZERO stars I surely would x1000 times over.

    Once again, Sophia and I stopped here for lunch which was a year later. This was the 3rd time…read morewe've been here which should've been done way earlier. The previous two times ended up with satisfaction. Shall the 3rd stop be icing on the cake? We were seated immediately upon walking inside. It was almost half packed which was fine with us. Decor was nice all around, the staff were friendly and customers seemed happy too. You know we can't negate that type of vibe. After looking through the menu for several minutes, I decided on ordering chicken in soy sauce (half portion) with a side of white rice and Egg Drop soup which came with crispy wonton strips. Everything was delicious. It has been a while since I've had this type of soup so I couldn't pass it up. The chicken was cooked well with plenty of soy sauce marinating the meat. I took half of it home where it was plentiful. Definitely not a bad lunch for the both of us (Sophia had the salt and pepper squid which was my go-to for previous visits). Hopefully we'll be back here sooner than later. Till next time :)

I always get the hot tea, a great start to the meal. Overall, I think the seafood fried rice is okay, I'd rather go for another meat like chicken or beef. They have pancit, which was decent. The mapo tofu is very tasty, but I wish there was more ground beef. Spice level was decent, but I would like it spicier. The garlic eggplant is one of my favsssssss!!!! A sweet soy sauce/oyster sauce taste. The Peking duck is very good, skin is crispy. The char siu pork is also very flavorful. THE WALNUT SHRIMP, it's always a winner. This is my husband's favorite. The white sauce just pairs so well with fried shrimp. The dumplings and Rangoons are thick. The dumplings are covered in sweet soy sauce. Very tasty. The pork belly was crispy just like Filipino lechon. I really enjoyed the custard buns. I do love that they have dim sum available to order all day. We have been here many times, and the dishes are always very good. They put a lot on the plate. This is definitely a place for family style. A must try!! We will be back.

I like that it's spaced out and you're not over crowded. Our waitress Catherine was awesome. She's always nice, friendly, and patient. She gave us the menu specials and allowed us to chat a bit before ordering. My friend ordered the cheese wontons, general tso chicken and dan dan noodles. The wontons were really good. I like that they were sweet and crispy. I'd get them again for sure. The dan dan noodles were spicy and flavorful. My sister and I got the Mongolian chicken, storm fish, and eggplant. This is my go to meal that I normally get, it's always tasty. The storm fish normally comes with a spicy mayo sauce, but they didn't have it this time. The fish was still ok, but the sauce is what gives it flavor, so it was a little bland this time. The eggplant and Mongolian chicken were yum, hot, and fresh!! I definitely recommend this restaurant to alot of people. I just think it's more elevated compared to regular Chinese takeout food. They have many delicious options on the menu, and again the vibe is chill. If you're planning a group dinner this is definitely a great option.

I found maybe 4 at most. It was also disappointing most of the sauce was on the bottom. So it's imperative you stir everything from bottom up upon receiving the order. The top layer tasted like it had barely any seasonings because of it. I wish I had known the meal came with copious amounts of mushrooms. I otherwise would have specifically requested the order be made without the them. I am not a big fan of mushrooms and especially the fragrant kind like the shiitake variety. I feel like I had mouthfuls of mushrooms in each bite and that's all I tasted. Perhaps I will order something else they are more known for the next time I believe they specialize in Szechuan cuisine.

They did close for a bit during the pandemic due to a staff shortage, but opened back up and haven't lost a beat. Local Yelpers have posted positive reviews on the food and service. Let's see how the visit went. We were immediately seated when we walked inside. They actually had a nice crowd inside which definitely had them busy. Since it's a dim sum restaurant, they came around several times offering small dishes. We declined until the very end and decided to order from their regular menu. My order was a cup of Egg Drop soup for appetizers and salted and spicy scallop, shrimp and squid. Everything was truly delicious. The soup was very hearty and full of flavor as expected. The seafood was fried perfectly and full of spices. The portion could've been a little more but nonetheless it was really good. To end our meal, we chose their shrimp balls off the dim sum plate. It was really good and flavorful. For our first time here, we were both impressed. Wonderful staff and food to back up the hype. The next time we stop by, it'll purely be items via dim sum :)

There was a line when we arrived on a Sunday afternoon before they even opened! Says a lot. My favorites were the spare ribs, beef stew, a type of taro dish, and the Chinese broccoli. I do wish they had more veggie dishes on the dim sum carts. You fill up fast so choose wisely! Next time would love to either try the lobster, steamed flounder, or roast duck.

My family and I (5 people) came in to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday dinner and there was nobody but us in the restaurant. The first thing I noticed was the server. He was dressed in jeans, hooded sweatshirt, a beanie and had a toothpick in his mouth. A bit out of the ordinary but to each their own for proper attire in what I would deem a upscale-ish restaurant. The real issue was him taking our order, seemed rushed. As we were deliberating and figuring out what we wanted. My girlfriend was talking about the scallion bubble pancakes. He came over and said, "I overheard you said the scallion pancakes, did you want to put in that order?" My girlfriend said no, she wanted everything to come out all at once. He said ok and then we walked off. Next thing we know, the pancakes came out WAY ahead of everything else we ordered. By like 15 minutes at least. When my girlfriend said something about it, the waiter said, he said outright " I never heard her say not to order them, she never said anything, and they are out right now". No apology, no I'll go ahead and fix that...nothing. When we we on the way out, we talked to the owner about the experience and the only thing he mentioned was that, the server was new and it's hard to find good employees because they revolve so quickly. Which wasn't really an answer at all. It was definitely a 180 degree turn from the first experience we had here which was 5 stars all around. I think given the experience, we unfortunately won't be coming back
