" I'm usually skeptical about trying new places, but Rainier won me over with delicious flavors! I loved the catfish and stir-fried dishes. The service was friendly and fast. The only downside was the noise level when it got crowded. All in all, a solid choice for great Vietnamese food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner with my family and it was an overall pleasant experience. I felt the food was just average in terms of authentic flavor, though the service was excellent – friendly, fast, and quite helpful. I specifically enjoyed their shrimp dish. The price was fair, but I expected bigger portions based on some reviews I'd read. The atmosphere could be nicer, but it was clean and comfortable. I probably wouldn’t return immediately, but I would recommend it to others. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a good time dining here, but I have mixed feelings about the authenticity of the dish I ordered. The bun bo hue was decent but didn't quite hit the spot like I've had at other authentic Vietnamese restaurants. The service was solid, and the ambiance was casual and cozy. Overall, I might return, but I’d prefer to explore other Viet restaurants first. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can see why Rainier is a favorite! Each dish we ordered had beautiful presentation and rich flavors. The staff was friendly and quick to help without being intrusive. I enjoyed the shrimp and squid, which were fresh and cooked perfectly. Would definitely come back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food was alright, but I expected better given all the hype. Some of it felt Americanized, which was a letdown. The customer service was pleasant, though, and I appreciated the cozy, inviting atmosphere. I'd give this place another shot but with lower expectations next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Stumbled upon this place, and wow – it blew my expectations! The authenticity level is through the roof. I ordered a mix of dishes, including the house special noodles and the fish sauce wings. Each bite was loaded with flavor and took me back to my travels in Vietnam. The service was speedy, which was a nice surprise. The overall atmosphere was quite inviting. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to my visit to Rainier Restaurant, given its reputation for authentic Vietnamese food. I tried the bao and the beef on choy salad, both of which were well-executed. The flavors jumped off the plate. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and efficient, making the experience quite pleasant. The only downside was the atmosphere – it could feel a bit cramped on busy nights. Still, I am eager to return and try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)
