My wife's birthday dinner was an absolute delight. The food was exquisite, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and our server, Eddie, was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, Eddie was attentive and accommodating, ensuring that our every need was met. His recommendations were spot-on, and he provided us with insightful descriptions of each dish. The food itself was a symphony of flavors, each bite bursting with culinary artistry. The presentation was impeccable, and every course was cooked to perfection. My wife was absolutely thrilled with the entire experience, and our guests couldn't stop raving about the food and service. Eddie truly went above and beyond to make our dining experience unforgettable. His professionalism, charm, and genuine care for his guests made him a standout. We are incredibly grateful for his exceptional service and highly recommend this establishment to anyone seeking a truly memorable dining experience.

I am from Chicago, we have CHINA TOWN! Rainbow Palace would fit in perfectly there as one of their best restaurants; and you will not get carjacked, shot, or mugged like in Chicago! Prices are reflexive of a high end restaurant more than your typical Chinese but worth it. The only small gripe is $9 for wonton soup was a little steep when the bowl is half full (see pic) but the flavor was on point. The Hunan Country Chicken was DELICIOUS! I like it HOT so our server (great guy, forgot his name) brought some spicy pepper oil which set it off perfectly. This was some of the best Asian cuisine I’ve ever had. Massive wine by the glass selection. Guaranteed if you are in the mood for Asian cuisine, you will love this place! My pictures don’t do justice to how good this food was!

We loved Silver Palace that just closed in Vermont this past February. We have been in Florida for 19 years but always made a trip to the Silver Palace. The owner told us his sister had a restaurant in Florida called the Rainbow Palace. we live in Ocala but should we come to Ft. Lauderdale again, we would definitely go again! The grand marnier sauce is to die for and even though our favorite the grand marnier pork was not on the menu the orange steak was close.

The food is always spot on , extremely consistent, high quality ingredients. We eat there once a month @ minimum. Service is spectacular Kenny the host is amazing friendly always there to help and Eddy. The server is entertaining and spot on every time. We enjoy the atmosphere, and the quality of the food makes us happy every time we go try the lobster and shrimp dumplings, or the honey pork for an appetizer. We love the pork fried rice, the calamari is excellent the crispy duck the crispy steak and the lamb chops are all spectacular. You have to place an order in advance for the lamb chops when you make your reservation same with the honey pork I don’t think you can go wrong with anything you want her there, but we’ve always had amazing experiences extremely consistent, and I would also like to recommend any vegetable they make is better than you’ll get anywhere else, the bok choy sugar snap peas the string beans also very good if you don’t go, you’ll never know we love this place

While the service was excellent and the ambiance pleasant, most of the food was overly sweet even where listed as "spicy". Cantonese food can be superb when executed well but this was far too sweet to be considered more than fair.
