Chinese Cuisine
The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

I have been going here since the late 1990s, and never once did I have bad food. Their lunch prices can't be beat, and their food is just great. The service is always attentive and the place is clean. Very nice people, too,

Uh-oh. Hopefully this was an off day that will be corrected. The usual staff wasn't there; our waitress who didn't seem too fluent in English said the owners would be back soon - they were shopping. Meanwhile - the liquor license isn't current, so no beer/wine/liquor. That is supposed to be worked out in about 2 weeks (but I saw no signs for pending applications/renewals anywhere) Kung Pao shrimp (lunch special) had 4 shrimp, 1/2 plate rice, and 1/3 plate green bell peppers (no nuts, as ordered). Hunan Lamb - Sorry, no lamb today. Mongolian beef: not spicy. Mostly sauteed onions with some beef. Chili oil not hot, so it never did get spicy. Note my previous review was glowing - so let's hope this corrects itself soon, as my parents live close and they like the owners (who hopefully still own it) and the food they usually get.

My neighborhood desperately needs a great Chinese restuarant. I'd prefer one that delivers, but I'd also be content with great Chinese, period. Despite popular opinion, there are some fantastic restaurants in the area, but Chinese is an area that's severely lacking. China Rainbow is the best we have at the moment. I started eating here during high school and I've continued to come back over the years. The quality is consistent, but nothing memorable. My first visit was with a high school friend and her mother, an immigrant from India. She spoke fluent English, highlighted with a thick accent. One of my now favorite waitresses also speaks highly accented yet fluent English. Watching their communication style was wonderful; the family I went with were regulars and they knew exactly how to keep it short, sweet, polite, and to the point despite the major barriers. The lunch and dinner specials are priced right and the food is good. I'm a big fan of the steamed pot stickers, but the entrees are nothing special. Major thumbs up for a nice, hot tea, complementary with the specials. This being said, I can honestly say that I've never actually had a bad meal here and keep going back. I always know what to expect, and the service is stellar. The food comes out quickly, and the people are pleasant and friendly. It's never been particularly busy, however there are always a few full tables on every visit. It's always immaculate and I've never worried about cleanliness. In retrospect, I realized that I nearly plagiarized Korina A.'s review. Honestly, I wrote this before reading hers.

Cheap chinese food that is relatively tasty. I believe their menu claims to be the "most authentic mandarin, hunan, and schezwan in town" but seeing that I am from none of those backgrounds, I can't really tell if that's true. The food didn't give me a stomach ache so to me that is good enough for 3 stars, though it's a bit salty. The food is ridiculously cheap, with lunch plates running for only $5 (including entree, soup, egg roll, fried rice, fried chicken and a crab puff). The other combos are only about $7. We all had different plates since some people didn't want to do it family style and make use of our lazy susan! Everyone seemed pretty satisfied and my friend who had the house special duck really enjoyed his meal. I liked my combo of shrimp and vegetables. They didn't skimp on the shrimp Too bad there were only 2 other customers aside from our group of 7. I think they should get more business. Oh, and they give free steamed rice and tea with your meals. I like asian places that don't charge for tea. That would be like charging for water.

This is the worst Chinese food you will ever eat. Then, you'll get to taste it again as it comes back up. I had the worst bout with food poisoning of my entire life after eating here. Perhaps it was just their almond chicken, but I won't be going back to eat any of their other dishes ever again. I warn everyone I can about this place when it comes up in conversation. If you want good Chinese, drive a little bit further southwest to Big Heng on 75th and Peoria. Far superior food for less money, and you won't throw it up.

This was our second time having china rainbow, and I can officially say that I am a fan. I decided we would try this place because it has two unusual proteins for a valley menu, Lamb and Duck. I'm used to these at nicer resturants back east but not out here. My wife had the Yuling Chicken the first time we went and I can say it was great. A full chicken breast fried in batter and perfect with the delicious yuling sauce and I had hunan lamb good and spicy...super spicy and tasty. I didn't care for the water chestnuts in the wonton soup otherwise it was good. Tonight we got takeout and I took the plunge and got the yuling duck and the wife got orange chicken. The menu "highly recommends" the orange chicken and for good reason, It was really good. I would order it for myself everytime we go but I'm gonna try something new next time. I got the fried wonton appetizer which was a waste of money even if it was just $3 it was just fried wonton wrappers with no filling I was expecting actual soup fried wontons or for them to be stuffed with something. Still a great place with really good and very reasonably priced food.

Great food for the price. This restaurant has been up and running since at least 2003 to my knowledge and the food has not changed. Great for take out which is most of their business so don't be fooled by the empty dining room. Will also deliver if you call and request it!

I'm still looking for that great Chinese place on the West side, that delivers. Am I dreaming the impossible dream? Apparently so. In the meantime, I have China Rainbow. It is in my neighborhood. It is decent. I've never had anything that was outright bad, just unremarkable. They do not deliver. I appreciate that their veggies are not overcooked. The quality of chicken that they use could be improved somewhat. I think they use thighs. I also always need to spice up my food a little bit. Sambal Olek is my friend. The noodles, however, are really, really tasty -- though, a touch oily. They have that slightly chewy texture I adore. Is it my ideal Chinese restaurant? No. Will it suffice? Certainly. EDIT: I forgot to mention that their crispy duck is rather good!

Awesome Egg Foo Young! We have been searching for a while for a good Chinese delivery restaurant. We have tried them all in this area and none compare to China Rainbow. The service is fast, professional and courteous. We love the young lady that takes your order for Call in delivery. The food we have ordered has been delicious and consistent and they have always gotten our order correct. :) Matt. Glendale, AZ

Been coming here for years, I love it! The people that work there are very friendly, the place is clean and the food is amazing! I use to get the orange Chicken a lot but now it's all about the Bok Choy with black bean sauce! Veggie Fried Rice & Shrimp with Lobster sauce are also bomb! Try it out for yourself and you'll be the judge.

Stopped in on a weekday around 2pm. We ordered the Seafood Platter and Scallops with Garlic Sauce. Order was taken promptly. Food came out hot, but was brought out at different times. We noticed this was the case with another table as well. Vegetables were fresh and crisp. Sauces were flavorful. Liked the spicey red pepper sauce that was on the table. The scallops were a bit rubbery and tasteless. Definitely wouldn't order the scallops again. Overall, food was okay. Nothing exceptional. Service was good. I would go back if in the neighborhood, but wouldn't make a special trip.

Yuck....need I say more? Why yes I do. I love crab puffs and theirs are sweet!The filling tasted like vanilla icing rather than cream cheese. Oh yea, I almost forgot to mention the entree's. Hmmmm..nope I don't have the words. Just don't go.

I moved here in 1999. Tried a few places but China Rainbow has my wife and I as well as the kids coming back time after time. The orange beef is great and the kids love the orange chicken. I'm a sweet and sour guy which I order almost every time. We eat here at least 4 times a month since 99. LOVE IT.....

Ordered the house chow mien for take-out tonight and it didn't have any flavor. Thank goodness for the single packet of soy.... This being said, all ingredients were obviously fresh. The portion size, lack of eating utensil or flavor, single soy and fortune cookie made this not so great of a value for 10 bucks. I'll go down the street to my old standby Wing Hing next time.

It's nice that they serve alcohol here but the food seems really bland. I had the fried rice and orange chicken and really was not impressed. Sorry guys.
(3)Megan S.
I have been getting food here for almost 10 years now. They've got great food, service is always super fast, and the prices are great. Great destination if you're looking for a quick bite to eat during your lunch break. Check out the garlic chicken; it's worth it.
(5)Carlene H.
I love this place! You can order anything from the menu and it will be delicious! When I walk in they always ask me, "where have you been, how are the kids?" I love the neighborhood feeling and I'm not alone, they have a relationship like that with many of their customers. They take pride in their food, cleanliness of the restaurant and patron's. Best Chinese food in town!

I've been coming here for at least 8 years now. It's actually my mother and father's to-go spot for Chinese food. They love it here!That being said, if you prefer a small intimate restaurant with not many people there this is your place. I've has lots of Chinese food in my lifetime but I can honestly say the small "home like" environment is what I prefer but others might consider it a "hope in the wall" restaurant. Tip: sometimes the hole in the wall spot are the best!! The locations works perfect for us because it's in a plaza and there is a big lots a few stores down. We like to have dinner then walk over to big lots for a little shopping. Anything you order is great. My favorite has to be the shrimp and vegetables in the brown sauce comes in a combination plate with fried rice, crab puff, fried wing, egg roll, and my absolute fav egg drop soup. I've had their soft noddles, orange chicken, and a few other dishes and all have great sauces and great flavor! And all in reasonable prices!! Above all this, gotta say their customer service is beyond awesome! Waitress knows us, she knows what we like, and never fails to make us feel welcomed every single time! It's defiantly a gotta try! ;)

I have ordered from here a few times already. The beef lo mein, sweet and sour chicken, teriyaki chicken, and rice is good. I would give it 5 stars but I really like pot stickers and theirs are not so great. I ate one and threw away the rest. Their crab puffs are alright, very cute but taste wise is okay. I will continue to go here because the ladies up front are very nice and it's fast.

I've been going here for 12 years now and have always been given great service and good food from day 1. Tucked away in a little strip mall this spot has been the only consistent establishment through the turnstile of businesses that have come and gone. Being said it serves up consistent good meals and solid with the customer service. For example I popped in tonight with a 2 meal take out and they threw in a large egg drop soup on the house. Orange beef is good as well as the vegetable egg foo yung. Nice reliable place and same owners since I've started going here.
