Overall, it was ok. The egg drop soup and orange chicken were good. However, I wasn't a big fan of the homemade crispy noodles or their cashew chicken. There were too many vegetables, and the chicken didn't taste the best. Server was nice though, and the restaurant itself is decorated authentically.

Delicious and the price was reasonable. My family enjoyed.Update: I was there again, ordered shrimp plus more. The batter inside the curved part of the shrimp was not cooked. I was going to tell them but my daughter didn’t even want to talk. We just left.Update a year later: my daughter took my son in law’s parents here. Because they liked Chinese food. She said the food was a lot better than before, maybe a new cook had arrived.

Most cheap buffets are at minimal just as good if not better. Service is horrendous. Overpriced and over rated.

This review isn't about the food but rather the service. I came in to pick up my food, and there was no one in the front of the house. There was however a woman sitting at one of the booths talking. I figured she was a customer but a few minutes later, she got off the phone to ask me if I needed anything. The phone call was personal, not taking an order or anything like that. It was ridiculous and I tipped before picking up my food. Not cool.

The food tastes delicious and is always fresh. It's a good value for the money. The restaurant is nice and clean with good ambience. The staff are always nice and friendly. I go often.
The best restaurant you can count on for traditional authentic Chinese food.Vegetarian options: Many dishes can be made without meat or tofu substitute. Lovely people always helpful.Parking: Parking is easy next to front door all sane level.Wheelchair accessibility: Parking is easy next to front door all sane level.

The crab rangoons were great. The cashew chicken was fine. The chicken stir-fry with vegetables and rice noodles was the strangest thing ever! The flavor was actually great. BUT - there were no noodles (none!) and half of the container was chicken skin - no meat attached, just random sizes of chicken skin. It was pretty disgusting. The vegetables were fine (sprouts, onions, carrots), but I kept looking for noodles and piling up the weird pieces of flabby skin. See the photo (if I can even post a photo); that is ALL chicken skin!

Champaign has no shortage of Asian restaurants. Rainbow Garden is one of the best.
