History

[edit]
Rainbow's mix plate lunch with mahi mahi, barbecue beef, chicken cutlet, macaroni salad, and rice on a paper plate

The Rainbow Drive-In serves plate lunches with single scoops of meat, rice, and either macaroni salad or cole slaw. The meats include barbecue ahi, roast pork, beef stew, and spaghetti and hot dogs. They also serve saimin (ramen noodles with ham in a broth).[1]

Reception and legacy

[edit]

The New York Sun's Vinnee Tong wrote that Rainbow is "Honolulu's version of Gray's Papaya or a Ray's Pizza".[1] Tong described it as where "the locals go ... for a cheap meal" and the plate lunch the "most blue-collar dish" of Hawaiian cuisine.[1] Gary Warner of The Orange County Register selected Rainbow as "one of the premier" locations for a Honolulu classic mixed plate lunch.[2]
