Very unusual and delicious Chinese food. Shrimp with honey walnuts, har gow, fried rice, anything in the garlic sauce, chow fun amazing! Service could not be better. This restaurant has totally spoiled us as we cannot eat Chinese food anywhere else!

Went to Rain for dinner for the first time this week and we will be back! We got the soup dumplings, orange beef, Peking duck, and green beans dishes. Highly recommend all of them!

First time. Won't be back. We did take out. Duck with lychee/pineapple was very dry, chewy, dry even with the sauce. Sweet n sour chicken I think there was only about 4 pieces that had some chicken the others were just fried dough. General tso no spice or kick just bland. Crab Rangoon 2 had nothing. 82.00. What a waste.

Considering we’re not in New York City or Boston, this Chinese restaurant is solid. The Peking Duck service was good. Sure, the skin could’ve been a bit crispier and the carving a little more refined, but honestly, just having it on the menu out here is already a win. Flavors 7.5-8 out of 10 if I’m being strict. The soup dumplings had a thicker skin than usual, which we actually prefer, though we know many might not. Overall, the value for money was solid—it wasn’t ridiculously expensive—and all the staff were warm and welcoming. Our server in particular was super friendly and made the experience even better.

Food was good, good portions, reasonable prices. It’s cute inside. My main issue is the service, it was horrible. We went out last night for my birthday dinner, had a reservation for 6:45, got there a couple minutes before. I don’t know if it’s because we’re teenagers or what but the man at the host stand gave us one of the mossy disgusting looks ever. They forgot to write down our reservation but were aware we had one. After standing there for about 5 minutes with no one telling us what was happening they finally led us to a table. Let me preface this by saying the place was not busy, had it been busy I would’ve understood this next part, but it wasn’t. It took 20 minutes for someone to greet us, literally ridiculous. We had to wait close to a half hour after we got there to place our order, it’s not acceptable given they were not busy. Service was so-so the rest of the night

Food was great. Service was good. The drinks were not too great so had a beer instead. I would visit here again but, a deep cleaning of the booth walls needs to happen.
