Every detail was meticulously attended to from the time we entered until the time we left. Â The wait staff is as professional as you would find anywhere. Â Each dish is perfectly prepared and worth the cost. Â We had the Shrimp and Lobster Dumplings, Orange Sesame Shrimp, Chicken with White Wine Lemon Sauce, and Lobster Tail and Seafood Sauce. Â Though we did not have any wine, the list was extensive and would pair with any dish. Â The 4 diamond award is well earned. I would certainly recommend the Rainbow Palace to anyone who wanted to experience the best in Chinese cuisine.
Review Source:When it comes to the food at Rainbow Palace, two words describe it: Yes!
This review is for their take out service only. I don't think I will ever eat at the restaurant because the atmosphere is not my cup of tea. Besides, for me Chinese food and take out go hand in hand.
The prices are very high if you compare this to your average Chinese joint; but since the options are limited to none in the area, it's a price I'm willing to pay if it will keep them around.
I'm not sure how " authentic" the food is....I'm actually sick of putting this disclaimer... but good is good independently of authenticity. My points of reference for the quality of a Chinese restaurant are all the restaurants I wen to when I lived in San Francisco and New York City area. Quit yer yappin'.
Their wonton soup is the best I've had in a long time. The broth is light, the julienned veggies crunchy and the wontons generous and wonderful. A great starter for a meal. Their shrimp and lobster dumplings are very good; however, I don't much care for the wasabi dipping sauce that accompanies them. Their spring rolls are just OK. Then again, all spring rolls are just OK at best in my book.
I've tried several dishes and they are all very good. The two that stand out are the sesame shrimp because the shrimp flavor and the texture of those jumbo shrimp are amazing and go so well with the deep fried crust and the sweet sauce. The second one is the Buddha's delight. The veggies are flavorful and the sauce is delicious. Their rice is a bit goopy. Some people like that; but I prefer mine a bit less sticky.
My one word of advice about Rainbow Palace: Go there.
I just moved to Fort Lauderdale from San Diego and wanted to try a Chinese restaurant. I love Chinese food and enjoy several fine Chinese restaurants in San Diego.
First, I found the atmosphere at Rainbow Palace much more inviting than the average Chinese restaurant. It definitely has an upscale feel. And the service was impeccable! Very impressive.
However, the food was extremely disappointing. I ordered two dishes: the fried rice, and the orange chicken. The fried rice was basically a plate of white rice with no flavoring with a few pieces of vegetable. I've eaten Chinese food all over the world, and this was the most tasteless dish of fried rice I've ever experienced. The most insulting aspect was the charge of $17--outrageous, to say the least.
The orange step was better than the fried rice, but that's not saying a lot. Orange chicken is one of my favorite dishes, and I was disappointed because I wanted more sauce and less vegetables. Considering the totality of the dish, it just wasn't a great recipe. The price: a ridiculous $28.
Sadly, I won't ever be returning to this restaurant!
