We have enjoyed going to Rainbow Palace for a long time, always ordering the same food. Last night was a disappointment, the Orange Beef was a little tough, the Mushroom Duo was not the same as before but the Fried Rice was perfect.

We enjoyed a fabulous meal celebrating two birthdays. The food was excellent. Everything was very fresh and delicious, and we were served generous portions with plenty to take home. They carefully accommodated all of our dietary needs as 3 of the 14 of us are Gluten free. The steak and chicken dishes were terrific. And our awesome servers, Keith and Tommy could not have been more attentive to our requests. We brought in our own birthday cakes which they kindly sliced and served for us without hesitation. Superior service, excellent food and an overall wonderful night at Rainbow Palace.
