Rainbow Chinese Restaurant & Bar

First time eating here. My wife and I were happy we chose this place out of a whim. The atmosphere is really chill and laid back. The service was friendly and quick. I’m almost certain that we had received our food maybe 10 mins after ordering. The Szechuan Wontons and Cream Cheese Wontons were both very delicious. Our entrees were fantastic! We’re definitely coming back when we make our way up to Minneapolis.

I flew into MSP, and after my Girlfriend picked me up, she took us immediately to Rainbow Chinese. I have never been to the state of Minnesota, much less had midwestern Chinese food, and let me tell you, I was delighted. The egg rolls were simply massive, and as big as they were, they were also full of flavor —nothing overpowering; everything in the roll worked well together. My partner got a fried shrimp dish with walnuts that was very good, and I got Szechuan beef, which was also delicious. She also got a specialty alcoholic drink, I think it was a lavender lemonade? I cannot remember exactly, but it was very tasty. The only real criticism I have is that they did not give you rice with your entrée, which seems strange given that the price of the proteins and vegetables could have included rice, as I paid $23 for beef, onions, peppers, snow peas, and a few carrots. This was only minorly irritating, and I still enjoyed my meal and I will be back!

I flew into MSP and immediately my girlfriend told me we were eating at this joint, no options allowed! And she was right! It was pretty dead the night we went, so we got a table quickly, and were served quickly as well. We started off with the absolutely massive egg rolls that were a hit. When they arrived, I was shocked at how big and plump they were! After this, we ordered, I got dish with beef, peanuts, sauce, peppers and onions, and my partner got fried shrimp with a cream sauce and walnuts. Both were very tasty and very large portions, but I was shocked to learn that rice needed to be ordered separately? That did not make sense to me, but to each their own, and the food was very tasty, so that makes little difference to me. It was a pricey meal, but it was a good one for sure.

Fantastic Chinese restaurant on Eat Street, been coming here for years. Highly recommend it to all my friends. High quality food and drinks without being too formal.

The food is consistently excellent at Rainbow - subtle, authentic, but still acceptable to my Minnesotan BF :) We've had good service in the past but not so recently. The white waitress who ignored us until we flagged her down, while regularly asking the white couple next to us if they wanted anything more, could do a lot better. Meanwhile, the person up front who pitched in to clear tables after checking people in for their reservations has our thanks!

So happy to see them open for dine in again! The food is as amazing as ever, service was friendly, attentive and great attention to detail. Can’t wait to go back for more!

The best Chinese food I’ve had in a long time. Wow, so fresh and light. I forgot to take pictures before we started because it looked so good!

Rainbow Chinese was excellent as always! The Crispy Tiger (mock duck) was so delectable I almost got a second order to take home! I appreciate how clearly marked their menu is for Gluten free options. My servers were very kind, knowledgeable, and attentive.
