Customer Review Summary
Salt and pepper chicken and salt and pepper squid come up most, described as crunchy outside and well cooked inside, not saggy or too salty, and flavorful. Close behind are the Singapore chow mein, sweet corn soup and prawn crackers, with several reviewers noting free prawn crackers on larger orders. Reviewers describe food arriving piping hot with generous portions and reasonable value, and a vegan couple say they have always been catered for, with staff joking about their "no egg man" order. Complaints are sharper than the praise suggests. One reviewer found the salt and pepper chicken like chicken balls, the chicken with mushrooms bland and the chow mein tasting only of oil. Another received barely cooked crispy chilli beef with a watery sauce and sweet and sour chicken balls raw in the middle. Delivery drew criticism too: one was charged more than the advertised delivery fee, and a Christmas Eve caller was quoted two hours for collection but one hour for delivery at an extra charge. One reviewer mentions free prawn crackers arriving with the order.

“I received crispy chilli beef hardly cooked and no chilli sauce was watery. Also ordered sweet and sour chicken balls which were punk in the middle. I am a beast feeding mother bad and am appalled at the quality of food”

“always love rainbows fresh and tasty not a long wait at all and free prawn crackers what's not to love. can pay with card over £12 and deffo good value and portion sizes. also does free delivery but pick up is fairly easy too”
- Michelle Doyle
“Tried to place an order for collection, was told it would be two hours. However they were happy to deliver in one hour for an additional £1.90? We live a 30 second walk away. Fully appreciate Christmas Eve is probably one of the busiest nights of the year but cannot understand why if it’s getting delivered it takes an hour less to cook it!”
- Jazz
“Bit of a mixed review. We received a menu in the post a couple weeks ago so thought we’d give it a try. Delivery was quick and it’s fairly well priced. However, delivery was advertised for £1.90 (on their new menu) but we were charged £2.80. Not much of difference I know but something to be made aware of for those who aren’t usual cash carriers. The salt and pepper chicken tasted like chicken balls with onion and the chicken with mushrooms didn’t really taste of anything. The chow mein tasted solely of oil. Maybe it was because it was a Friday night it wasn’t the best but glad we tried it.”
- Katie Dempsey
“My partner and I are vegan and we have always been catered for excellently. We wouldn’t use anywhere else. The food is always piping hot and tastes amazing! Service is always friendly and my partner is affectionately referred to as “no egg man” which is funny. We couldn’t recommend this Chinese highly enough.”
