I've seen reviews that were not positive about this place and I'm not sure what happened with that because everything we've ever ordered for the last 6 years has been perfect.
I don't think they've ever messed up an order once. Not even a little.
Maybe the disappointed people in the reviews are ordering things that they make in large amounts for a lunch rush? Unclear.
I can say what I have done, because I learned this trick with fast food restaurants back in the '90s, as I worked in one through much of the '80s.
I never order food strictly off menu and try to avoid peak hours, because during rushes most places tend to make commonly preferred things ahead of time and leave them under heat lights. (Ever gotten warm fries that are limp and rubbery? They were made 10+ minutes before you arrived and have been sitting under a heat lamp!) It doesn't cost a company much and it's very time efficient to get people in and out so they don't complain about the time it took to get their meal.
To avoid that, I will customize what I want by taking what is normally available and then telling them to hold something because they can't just scrape or pick it out of the food, so they have to make it fresh.
I always end up paying a little bit more for whatever I order because it's a specialty order but that whole extra dollar or ten means that my food is amazing every time. Sit down places I tip 20% or more/take out 10% or more to show my appreciation because I know a rush has been thrown off by MY request of a special order.
If you've ever had problems ordering here (or anywhere during a breakfast / lunch / dinner rush) I highly recommend ordering what you want and tell them to leave out a specific item-and yes, you likely won't get the lower price of a lunch order that was made in bulk for efficiency, but you will get a perfectly made fresh meal. There's usually a reason that places with daily lunch specials are cheaper. They make it in bulk and keep it warm to get people in and out quickly!
As to whether or not Rainbow Garden actually makes things in advance like fast food places during peak hours, I am not sure. But I do know EVERYTHING they've made for us for 6 years now has always been perfectly made and freaking delicious.
The people behind the counter are always very kind and make me feel welcomed when I pick up my food. They’re very consistent with the quality of their food as well as the to go containers. I love that I can reuse them even after I’ve enjoyed my food. Highly recommend if you’re into quality food at a reasonable price. It takes maybe 15 minutes from when you order it to be available for pickup.
My boyfriend and I tried this place out and we were not disappointed. The food was cooked perfectly and tasted great! The sweet and sour chicken and wonton soup hit the spot. The portions are filling too.
Professional staff, food was fresh and tasted amazing! I had chicken & broccoli and added 2 jumbo shrimp for $1.
We have only gotten delivery but it's our absolute favorite...portions are pretty big hot and fresh, the house fried rice was amazing and there was soo much. The egg rolls are really really good. General chicken was the best I've had n a long time.
Ate here last night & totally loved it! We ordered the family special (4 meals for $22) - plenty of food, great price. Food tasted excellent, cooked to perfection unlike other places where it's over done & hard to chew. Delivery service was faster than the estimated time (delivery minimum is $12 FYI) .. Definitely will be back again!
First time order from rainbow garden, I read the other reviews and gave it a shot, and was not disappointed at all!! Everything was delicious, portions were a bit small but what the lacked in size they made up for in flavor ,quality and tenderness . To be honest most chinese delivery may give you bigger portions to make up for quality. Rainbow garden satisfies us and we still have a little bit of
Leftovers.
Great food - especially their egg rolls. They are unbelievably fast. Walk in and place your order and then walk next door to Harris Teeter for sodas. Food is ready by the time you get back. Or call ahead and food and food is usually ready when I arrive.
This is a great local Chinese restaurant. It's not the closest to my house, but I'm always willing to drive out bit further for their food. Their food is always hot and fresh, and I've never had a problem with any of my orders or with the service offered there.

Really good food and always fast. Try the subgum wonton or Singapore mei fun for a special treat. We've had dozens of menu items and only the steamed dumplings (like an odd texture meatball inside) and fried rice (dry and oniony) are sub par. Everything else is superior. Btw - entrees are not greasy!
