Had lunch at Rainbow Garden for the first time and wished I discovered it sooner! As one of the few Chinese restaurants south of Green Street, it is worth a visit over China King.
I had the sweet and sour chicken lunch special that came with a small eggroll and your choice of hot and sour or egg drop soup.
- The chicken was battered just right and not too oily, and the sweet and sour sauce came with white onions, green peppers and carrots. I also appreciated that they only used white meat chicken.
- The eggroll is small but one of the most flavorful I've had among the Chinese restaurants in the area.
- The fried rice was among the best I've had with ample vegetables and scrambled egg
- The hot and sour soup needed more vinegar, but I still liked that among the Chinese restaurants I've visited for lunch, they offered soup.
Rainbow Garden's ambiance also makes it a nice date spout with booths and red wood themes. The restaurant is actually much bigger than you would perceive from the outside.
My only complaint is it's hard to park in their lot given the giant billboard in the middle of it.
