Rainbow House - Albany

Just moved here and tried this place. AWFUL!!!! First the website was completely wrong so the price is wrong. I ordered on line and they didn’t give me a total so I was shocked when my order was double the price!! Then my order was wrong and they did not care! Terrible place. Doubt it will be open much longer with such awful food and service. Lady in front of me had her order screwed up as well and she said she was shocked at the price as well since they charged her more as well. According to the website my order should have been $34, instead it was $62!!!!!!!! Unbelievable. I should have walked out.

First time here. Did a takeout order. What the menu states and what you really get are a bit different. Lemon Chicken and the General's Chicken is not lightly fried. The chicken is as usual overtaken by all the batter. The General's chicken was old it wasn't even spicy. We ordered 2 entrees but only received one rice and they didn't ask if we wanted steamed or steamed. The fried rice was very bland and nothing special. The menu is a little vague on what you get with an entree. The place wasn't busy at all in fact no customers to speak of. It is a normal run of the mill American Chinese place! Nothing really is homemade from scratch. The dinner was hot but not fresh and well we tried it out.

This was close to the hotel we were at so we decided to try it. We shared the appetizer platter and hunan beef! The shrimp egg rolls were good and so was the bbq pork. They didn’t give any hot mustard which was disappointing. We thought the main entree came with soup but it didn’t but the hunan beef was really good and the flavor was great! The service could have been better but we sat in the lounge and it was busy. I would go back again!

Classic Chinese takeout. Gives me the same nostalgia of picking up food in the early 2000's. Prices, like everywhere, have inflated. However still reasonable for the portion size. Like Costco I always end up with much more than I had intended. Started visiting more often as A B Chinese had been sold out of a lot of options the last year and a half or so around dinner time.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options for all the traditional dishes, except meat exclusive dishes of course.Parking: Very large parking lot, easily accessible campus.

It looks like it is abandoned, but the food is pretty good.
