They’re closing on November 22. So if you like the place, go there soon. I’ve been going there and enjoying their great food and friendly service for years. This is very sad.

It was genuinely just bad all around. I can’t describe what was bad about it, it was just bad in general. Order was wrong even though I clarified what i wanted. Water came straight out of the bathroom sink. And the waitress didn’t even bother to wear deodorant. You could smell it walking in.

Went in around lunch time. It was slow, so we got our food really quickly. Service was really friendly. Our server checked up on us regularly and made sure we were having a good experience. Really enjoyed the food, and there are a bunch of solid options. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.

One of my favorite restaurants! I love the food, the items are decently priced and the portions are large. They also have vegan-friendly options and the service is always fantastic. I definitely recommend this restaurant.Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian and the waiter noticed I ordered all veggie and asked if I was vegan to make sure that the items did not contain meat products.

Average food, but way overpriced and rude staff. Price gauging. Fried rice 12$ same fried rice at Panda Express 4.80$ ain't no way. Avoid this place as they are scammers charging 12% tax twice on your receipt. Check your receipt to your actual bank charges people!

Orange chicken was amazing. Hot and Sour soup wasn't too spicy. Crab Rangoon was delicious.

Absolutely excellent food! Their authentic Chinese menu and the American menu are both great!! It is a family run place, and they take pride in their quality and taste. We love the ambience as well.

Amazing restaurant and wonderful staff! Highly recommend!!
A true hidden gem for Korean Chinese food!I've eaten plenty of Korean Chinese noodle dishes from a handful of restaurants in the Chicago area, and none of them imo are at the level of this place. The jjamppong (spicy seafood noodle soup with some pork) here is something really special! This place nails the smokey wok hey and savory quality of the soup which a lot of restaurants don't always do well. Jjajangmyeon (black bean noodles) also impresses here!Chatted with a guy who runs this place and found out that his dad who opened up shop and still cooks at the restaurant originally lived and made food in Incheon, Korea where mainstream Korean Chinese food originated (maybe that's the secret lol). If you want a proper introduction to Korean Chinese food, this is the place!!

This restaurant appeared well worn. Menu’s were extremely worn out. Staff seemed to be attentive and alert. I found that the food was not cooked fresh. 2 dishes were luke warm to almost cold. The third dish was not what i expected as it felt like it was fried in oil as the bottom was hard and crunchy. The restaurant imo was not very clean. Lot of dust and dirt in the entrance. Mirrors in restroom have not seen a wipe in a good while.To me to be called fine dining, the silverware should at least match and clean. Serving plates were custom however well worn.When we arrived it was after lunch and very quiet.The best time to focus on attention to detail.

There wasn't anyone there when we went to eat at 5:00, so it was very quiet, which I liked. Everything tasted amazing!!! Definitely worth every penny! The best part of all, THEY HAD CHOCOLATE FORTUNE COOKIES! Like, what other restaurant has CHOCOLATE fortune cookies? None that I've been to. If not anything else, just go there for the cookies. 10/10 would recommend

Rainbow Garden is one of my favorite places to go for lunch! Their service is top notch and you can't beat the value of their lunch meals, even as prices are rising everywhere else. The quality of the food is also fantastic. I've never been disappointed with my meal.

I'll never stop coming back for that twice cooked BBQ pork. We came for the pork and stayed for the cabbage. I never thought about cabbage before trying this and now I crave it and this dish constantly. It's always fantastic and one of my favorite food spots in the area!
