• Lee wrote a book about the history of Chinese food in the United States and around the world, titled The Fortune Cookie Chronicles. Warner Books editor Jonathan Karp struck a deal with Lee to write a book about "how Chinese food is more all-American than apple pie."

Award-Winning Chinese food, 5% off select old-school dishes

Image
  Pictured above is one of two award walls inside Rainbow, these are the Mpls St. Paul Magazine Diner's Choice and Reader's Choice awards. Across the hall, are the City Pages Best of the Twin Cities awards. We were sad to see City Pages go. Opening doors with egg rolls Pre-pandemic and pre-I35w /Lake street closures made it a lot easier for everyone to make their way to Rainbow Chinese. Though we like to think of ourselves as a neighborhood restaurant, a good number of you drive across town to visit us— we want to thank you for your continued patronage. You may have only seen the outside of our building when picking up take-out, it's been a year since we've had the dining room and bar open for guests. We do not plan on opening our doors in the near future, it's going to take some time for the world to heal, and it's only just starting to move into the right direction. 1998 marks the first award on the wall and a start of a new era. We moved across the street fro...

Rainbow Chinese: The history of ordering Chinese Food on Christmas

Image
  December 24th is the busiest day of the year for us —and Chinese restaurants everywhere. Image of The Last Supper, with Chinese food— taken from the article  "Chinese Food and a Movie :: Jensen Karp Uncovers a Jewish Christmas Mystery! " We anticipate the coming of our busiest day: Christmas Eve, every year. This year is no different, though having an empty dining room is something new to us, as we always look forward to seeing all the familiar faces. Now we just need to be able to recognize you, wearing a mask, bundled up in winter clothes. If anything, we will recognize your order, as your tradition, is ours.  Chances are slim that Tammy will have time to visit with the guests outside the kitchen this holiday, and given today's chilly snow storm, she may just stay near the kitchen flames, wok in hand. You may catch a glimpse of her, but as of this writing, we have counted   just the pre-orders for the Christmas Eve , and those numbers are on par with any bus...
