Reviews
Parking can get tricky as there are other restaurants in the same area.
This restaurant has been here for over 20+ years and has always been really good.
Other than that, the place is elegant, and serves delicious Chinese food that is made with fresh ingredients. Not cheap for the type of food it is but very worth it!
The sweet and sour chicken, one of the specials of the day when we went was outstanding: crunchy, but juicy, chunks of pineapple. Probably the best dish we tried that night!
The drinks were reasonably priced and on the spot too! The mai tai was good and the espresso martini was really good.
Service was friendly, prompt and courteous.
Rainbow Palace is a true gem of fine-dining Chinese cuisine located on East Oakland Park Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale. This restaurant has been around for roughly 35–40 years, and it shows in all the right ways — elegance, consistency, and attention to detail.
I’ve been meaning to dine here for at least 15 years, but timing was never right. They are open for dinner only — no lunch, no happy hour — which already sets the tone that this is a serious dining experience. When you walk in, you immediately notice the refined atmosphere: a beautiful bar area, a private dining room, and one of the most elegant Chinese dining rooms I’ve ever seen.
Now, the food.
We started with the Shrimp and Lobster Dumplings — hand-kneaded dough shells filled with minced shrimp and lobster, pan-fried on one side and served with a honey mustard soy sauce. Outstanding. Fresh, perfectly cooked, and easily among the best dumplings I’ve had. We ordered them per order and they disappeared fast.
There were four of us, and we ordered four main dishes to share. One standout was the Roast Duck with Portabella Mushrooms and Asparagus — thinly sliced roast duck sautéed in a nine-spice Asian sauce with fresh portabella mushrooms and asparagus. Rich, tender, and beautifully balanced.
We also had the Chef’s Lo Mein, featuring sliced chicken, honey-roasted pork, and shrimp tossed with soft angel-hair lo mein noodles and fresh garden vegetables, seasoned with aged soy sauce. A classic done exactly right.
Another highlight was a large shrimp entrée, featuring jumbo shrimp cooked perfectly — firm, flavorful, and clearly high-quality. Not your average shrimp dish; refined rather than heavy.
Every dish came out hot, fresh, and plated with care. The flavors were balanced, the ingredients were top-tier, and nothing felt rushed or over-sauced.
Rainbow Palace is not casual Chinese food — it’s classic, upscale, old-school fine dining done right. If you appreciate elegant surroundings, excellent service, and thoughtfully prepared dishes, this place absolutely deserves a visit
We made reservations, a week in advance but still got seated in the other room. We were told the main dining room wasn’t available when we got there.
The service as adequate, except that he forgot to serve the appetizer first so we ended up eating the appetizer with the main meal.
The portions are not large and we ate everything with no leftovers. Overall it was good.
