The bright red mural on the side of Rainbow Chinese Restaurant at 2739 Nicollet Avenue anchors Minneapolis’s iconic “Eat Street” corridor. Painted in bold geometric letters spelling “Minneapolis,” the work was designed to celebrate the neighborhood’s cultural diversity and long history as a hub for immigrant-owned restaurants. The panda motif and stylized lettering nod to the restaurant’s founder, Tammy Wong, whose establishment has been a local fixture since 1987. The mural, illuminated at night by warm overhead lighting, has become a recognizable landmark symbolizing the creative and culinary energy of Eat Street in the Whittier neighborhood.
