I came here on my lunch break hungry. They burnt,scorched my shrimp foo young. There gravy was sub par. It tasted like the price. Never had any one burn my shrimp foo young.

The chicken wings were great! The shrimp fried rice Large is smaller than other Chinese spots, so I thought we were ordering enough to feed the family, but we actually needed to order 2. It was good

I've seen reviews that were not positive about this place and I'm not sure what happened with that because everything we've ever ordered for the last 6 years has been perfect.I don't think they've ever messed up an order once. Not even a little.Maybe the disappointed people in the reviews are ordering things that they make in large amounts for a lunch rush? Unclear.I can say what I have done, because I learned this trick with fast food restaurants back in the '90s, as I worked in one through much of the '80s.I never order food strictly off menu and try to avoid peak hours, because during rushes most places tend to make commonly preferred things ahead of time and leave them under heat lights. (Ever gotten warm fries that are limp and rubbery? They were made 10+ minutes before you arrived and have been sitting under a heat lamp!) It doesn't cost a company much and it's very time efficient to get people in and out so they don't complain about the time it took to get their meal.To avoid that, I will customize what I want by taking what is normally available and then telling them to hold something because they can't just scrape or pick it out of the food, so they have to make it fresh.I always end up paying a little bit more for whatever I order because it's a specialty order but that whole extra dollar or ten means that my food is amazing every time. Sit down places I tip 20% or more/take out 10% or more to show my appreciation because I know a rush has been thrown off by MY request of a special order.If you've ever had problems ordering here (or anywhere during a breakfast / lunch / dinner rush) I highly recommend ordering what you want and tell them to leave out a specific item-and yes, you likely won't get the lower price of a lunch order that was made in bulk for efficiency, but you will get a perfectly made fresh meal. There's usually a reason that places with daily lunch specials are cheaper. They make it in bulk and keep it warm to get people in and out quickly!As to whether or not Rainbow Garden actually makes things in advance like fast food places during peak hours, I am not sure. But I do know EVERYTHING they've made for us for 6 years now has always been perfectly made and freaking delicious.Vegetarian options: They do have quite a few vegetarian options although if you want a protein you are limited to tofu or egg. Egg drop soup has chicken stock so know that before you order!There are vegan options as well. Our personal favorite is broccoli with garlic sauce and have them add tofu (bean curd).Kid-friendliness: There is a sit down area inside, but there is nowhere to play at all, and I can't recall if I've seen high chairs in this particular place. For take out, everyone is good, especially the donuts! They are basically oversized donut holes so you can cut them into smaller pieces for smaller children. SCRUMPTIOUS.Parking: Wheelchair accessible spots are limited and this is a strip mall so there's only a handful of spots right in front of Rainbow Garden but you can park anywhere and walk over quite easily.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes the place is wheelchair accessible although the handicap spots fill up quickly during peak hours.Dietary restrictions: There are vegetarian options, there are vegan options, there are low-fat options (steamed instead of fried), there are sodium options.Best of all, they do not use MSG!I have an absolutely crippling reaction to MSG. It's like instantaneous rheumatoid arthritis that lasts for DAYS. My hands and even my spine just curl up and I cannot straighten myself out for days after eating MSG so I can promise you it is not in there. There is no mistaking it when I eat it!

The people behind the counter are always very kind and make me feel welcomed when I pick up my food. They’re very consistent with the quality of their food as well as the to go containers. I love that I can reuse them even after I’ve enjoyed my food. Highly recommend if you’re into quality food at a reasonable price. It takes maybe 15 minutes from when you order it to be available for pickup.

They are so considerate of door jazz drivers and their food is good. It's always ready on time. 5 out of 5

Don't order through their online platform. There is no way to request refund due to poor food quality. I ordered Shrimp Egg Foo Young and Shrimp Roles. There were no shrimp in either the shrimp roll or the Shrimp Egg Foo Young. When I contacted the restaurant the person who answered the phone acted like he could not understand English.
