Rainbow Chinese Restaurant & Bar

Date visited: Monday, March 12

I was lured to the Rainbow Chinese Restaurant (2739 Nicollet Avenue, www.rainbowrestaurant.com) after tasting its amazing chocolate wontons at the Chocolate Expo last fall. After enjoying such a delicious, unusual dessert, I had high expectations for the restaurant.

I didn't order anything with tofu at the restaurant, which might have been a big mistake, because the vegetable/noodle-based dishes weren't all that memorable. I ordered the Happy Farmer, which had a bunch of vegetables and tiny, thin noodles, and a light sauce. I also shared some vegetable lo mein, which was pretty standard.

We did finish our meal with the chocolate wontons (imagine cream cheese wontons with a thick, rich chocolate pudding instead of cream cheese), and they were wonderful.
