" I visited Rain Modern Chinese for a family gathering, and it was delightful! We tried a variety of dishes and were particularly impressed with the crab rangoon, which had a generous filling. The prawns were top-notch too! The atmosphere was cozy, and the tea served at the beginning was a lovely touch. A great experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to dinner at Rain last week, and I felt like I was taking a gamble. The reviews were so polarized. Luckily, it exceeded my expectations! I loved the crispy vegetable spring rolls, and the chicken curry was flavorful without being overwhelming. Service was quick, although our waiter seemed rushed. Overall, I would return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an amazing dinner! The chef’s special was something else – bursting with flavors. The staff made us feel welcomed and didn't rush us at all. The atmosphere was delightful, making it a great spot for conversations over delicious food. Highly recommend the Mango Crispy Chicken if you're into that kind of thing! " (*Curated Review*)
