I stopped in today to buy breakfast. They are no longer accepting cash. I refuse to support any business that does not accept cash most un-American thing a place can do.

If you are an islander, they will ignore you. Go to rainbows across the street!

Beware, they don’t take cash. So you have to pay by credit card and they charge you the 2.5% credit card fee.

Yah, it's sad that Rainbows quality has fallen through the years. I have been going there since it opened. I new the owner and throgh the years became mutual friends. As I said time has changed Rainbow's food presentation. The boneless chicken used to be one of my favorites, but not today. When it first came out it was nice and crispy and full of fried chicken flavor, now it's soggy: no crisp! It taste like shake and bake! No more! The shoyu chicken too was one of my favorites but not now. It is so over cooked and dry! they skimp on the gravy which is where the flavor is, all in all the shoyu chicken is dry, very tough, very chincy on the gravy. No more! The chicken long rice is not the same. The long rice glass noodle they use is not as good as before. Dry chicken and long rice. The flavor and texture is not there anymore. The Bar b q beef is tough and again over cooked. Very little portion. I don't know why the Mac abd rice is getting skimpy. Don't understand why they would ve so chancy. Mac and rice is not that expensive and in Hawaii we love our rice and especially our Mac salad! I guess Rainbow has finally catered to the tourist more so than the locals who made them where they are now. I just hope they, owners, don't forget us. I go to Tanaka's now, alittle off from Kahala where I live but, we locals will seek out good food and value. Should i go to Rainbow's I will only go for the chili dog plate, it's still how it was in "62". Oh well!

Da Original...Kapahulu.Used to get Da Dollah Chili (even when it cost more than 1 dollar. Ha!)
The food was A1 and definitely better than some other more referenced local Hawaiian chain (zppy). We visited twice in two days and both times were glad that we did. The atmosphere was very laid back island style. Make this place a definite visit when your in
