" Bringing my family to Rainbow King has always been a treat; their service is impeccable. Our last visit, though, fell flat. I ordered the chicken lo mein, which had barely any chicken, and was mostly just noodles. My wife’s sweet and sour chicken was also a chance to disappoint. I think they might have had an off night, but we may reconsider our routine here after that experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have always enjoyed my meals at Rainbow King, but I stopped by recently for takeout, and it has become a different experience. The food seemed less flavorful compared to before. I had the beef chow mein, which tasted like it was just boiled beef with some stir-fried noodles. Pretty disappointing! I'll try again in the future to see if it was just a bad night. Hoping for improvement! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Rainbow King can only be described as fantastic! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth. The wonton soup had a lovely flavor, and their fried rice was better than anywhere else I've tried! I had the Chow Fun and it was deliciously smoky with crisp veggies. Overall, a delightful place with good food and atmosphere. I will be returning very soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" There's something about Rainbow King that keeps drawing me back, but I can't pinpoint it exactly. The food isn’t outrageous, but it's comforting in its own way. The General Tso’s chicken is great on a cold night, and their fried wontons are a guilty pleasure. Service tends to be hit or miss, depending on who's at the front counter. If you don't mind a bit of an attitude occasionally, the food is definitely solid. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was not impressed with this restaurant. While the staff were nice, I felt like the food was a letdown. I ordered the fried rice and it was bland—not seasoned at all. The sweet and sour chicken tasted more like it came from a freezer than a kitchen. I’ve had better meals at local diners. Overall, it felt more like Americanized Chinese food than anything authentic. Though it was cheap, I don’t think I’ll be coming back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed with my visit. I had looked forward to trying their famous egg rolls. Sadly, they were overcooked and dry. Based on other reviews, I suspect they may have had an off day, but I don't think I'll rush back. I might give it another chance in a month or two, just hoping for a better experience next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Me and my family have been patrons of Rainbow King for years, and our experiences have been generally positive. The portions are large, and they often provide us with leftover meals for the next day. Recently, we tried their new vegetarian options, and they were surprisingly tasty! The service staff is courteous, always ensuring our dining experience is pleasant. However, I have noticed that some of the spicy dishes could use a bit more heat. Overall, a solid dining option but with room for improvement! " (*Curated Review*)
