Rainbow China Buffet opened its doors in 2004 and began serving freshly prepared Cantonese-style Chinese cuisine. Today, the eatery is a popular destination for both lunch and dinner for those seeking a quick, casual, quality meal. “We cook fresh every day,” Cheng noted. That commitment to fresh food paired with a special sauce creates a unique Chinese dining experience. The restaurant is also MSG-free, opting instead to use a chicken base to achieve the flavorful dishes served to each customer.

The restaurant features four buffet stations filled to the brim with dozens of popular menu items from soups and salads to chicken and even desserts. Patrons can even opt for hand-dipped Breyer's ice cream. A full, ever-evolving, menu is also available as is carry out.

Customers enjoy the positive ambiance with bright, cheery decorations reminiscent of a Chinese New Year celebration with beads, tassels and paper lanterns, all red to symbolize good luck, surrounding the buffet area. A world music vibe floats through the air through the speakers overhead, and Chinese carvings adorn each buffet point. Service, customers, atmosphere and fine food combined as the inspiration for the restaurant's name. “The rainbow is seven colors, and we have a lot of different aspects,” Cheng explained.

“I appreciate every customer that comes in to eat,” Cheng expressed. “We will keep doing our best and serving good food for the White House area.” Part of that pledge centers around the service provided by Cheng and his family. Rainbow China Buffet is family-owned and also family-operated. It is a difference that customers can sense throughout their dining experience.
