Quick info
About Rainbow House
Rainbow House is a Chinese takeaway at 4 The Broadway in Brighton, open evenings only and closed on Tuesdays. Orders over a set amount come with a free bag of prawn crackers, which adds a side to larger orders. The menu includes sweet and sour chicken balls in batter, alongside beef and chicken curries and a pancake roll. Set meals are on offer, including a Cantonese meal for two that suits sharing. The kitchen also cooks satay chicken and a green or red Thai vegetarian curry, so the menu extends beyond the usual meat dishes.

“Absolute crap! Ordered the Cantonese meal for two and was presented with a greasy, oily mess that ended up in the bin. The best part of the meal was bag it came in! Had a cheese sandwich instead. Save your money and your health, avoid!!!!!”

“Absolutely, THE best local Chinese takeaway. NEVER have we had a bad meal. The batter is to die for. Each and every dish is so tasty. Thank you x”

“Very poor noodles rock hard definitely not worth £100 chicken like ruber”

“I'm sorry, but this place is fantastic! I'm quite hard to please when it comes to chinese takeaways (especially when it comes to the curries). I've used so many different chinese takeaway's over the years, all over east and west sussex. This is my second time here now, and the food is amazing. First order was for Pancoke roll, egg fried rice (large), beef curry, Sweat & sour chicken balls in batter & Chikcen Chow Mein. Everything was perfect, the pancake roll was HUGE, never seen them like this before. Not greasy either. The staff were so friendly and the guy had the time to chat with me for a while. He even let me off 10p ;) Second order (2 weeks later) was for Beef Curry, Chicken Curry, 2x Large egg fried rice, Pancake Roll and BBQ Spare Ribs. OMG delicious!!! Flavours were on point, not too strong/salty/sweet but not bland either. SPOT ON and the prices are also the cheapest around! I'm SO going back again, and I will take some photo's of the food next time, only pic I've got is a silly selfie I took while waiting for the food (only a 7 minute wait)!!!!”

“We’re disappointed with our experience. Usually we have no complaints. I understand ordering on a Friday it will be busier and so longer waiting times, however, no ETA for food when on the phone and waited over an hour before calling again to ask for an update which they said the driver had our food and then took another 20 minutes to arrive when the shop is only 5 minutes from our house. When ordering we specified one dish extra hot and the other no seafood, when arrived the “no seafood” dish was spicier than the “extra hot” dish and had seafood in it, therefore the food could not be eaten by the person who ordered the dish due to allergens.”
