This is easily the highest quality Asian food in the tricities. The food has good flavor, is prepared fresh and uses higher quality ingredients than the typical buffet Chinese restaurants in the region. Service has been friendly and attentive. Highly recommended!

We eat here regularly and we always love our meals. Rainbow Asian has some of the best Thai cooking that we have ever tasted. Particularly love the Orange Chicken, and the Special Curry is fantastic! Can't go wrong. The Tom Kaa soup is also great!

Best Asian food we have ever had anywhere! Had the #1 Combo Appetizer and #35 Cashew Chicken and bowl of Wonton Soup. Surpassed expectations for display, portions, taste and price. Service was outstanding. This gem of a restaurant belies the fact that it is in a Best Western Motel just off I-26 on North Roan Street in Johnson City or... More

They have Thai, Chinese, and other types of Asian dishes. We had a fairly large group for a birthday and everyone was served pretty quickly/ we all loved the food. The red curry is delicious. Friendly staff and reasonable prices for a nicer Asian restaurant. It is also clean and beautifully decorated inside.

It should not work-adjoining a motel, at an interstate exit,in an area with an abundance of Asian restaurants. But, it works in a noteworthy manner! Diners first notice the attractive waterfall as they enter the hostess area. A double-sided stone fireplace is the feature of the dining room and is surrounded by tables. Tall backed private booths line the walls.... More

We have eaten at this restaurant probably 10-15 times. We have enjoyed it every single time. The food is outstanding, the wait staff is very courteous and trained, and the restaurant is always clean and pleasant. I usually get the pad thai and it hasn't ever disappointed me. I'm a pad thai connoisseur and can say with confidence that they... More

I go here for lunch regulary. The Pho Noodle soup is great. Large portions. I also like General Tso and kung Pao Chicken. Service can be a little slow, but the food makes up for it.

Awesome food in a beautiful restaurant. One of my wife and my favorites in the Tri-Cities. Great Orange Chicken, Pineapple Chicken and their Special Curry is just fantastic. Great Tom Kaa soup, also. A really nice place, with good prices. Even though this restaurant is "attached" to the Best Western, it is definitely a destination in itself. Thai cooking at... More

My husband and I decided to eat here as we were staying in the Best Western and were tired of being on the road and did not want to drive out to eat. We smelled the curry in the hallways and said "have to try this place!" The soups are excellent and served with the crunchy noodles. This alone was... More
