Rainbow House - Albany

It may appear to be abandoned, but the food is surprisingly good.

I really doubt this place will stay open for long with such poor food and service. I even overheard a woman in line ahead of me expressing her shock at how her order was messed up and that she was also charged more than she anticipated. According to the website, my order should have cost $34, but it actually ended up being $62! It's just unbelievable. I really should have left before paying.

I’m surprised this place is still operating. My small $20 takeout order tasted stale and wasn’t made properly. The woman behind the bar didn’t even know what I had ordered, and the food was really watery. I’m not sure what you’re trying to be— it feels like a place for older folks to nap in the chairs by the lottery machines or watch TV at the bar. I used to love Lum Yuen’s food; are you running low on funds? Maybe consider removing the machines, closing the bar, and focusing on being a proper restaurant.

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.

Had Mongolian beef and orange chicken both me and the wife very happy... I will be eating there again soon...
