Customer Review Summary
Chow mein draws the most attention. One reviewer calls the chicken version exceptional, not salty or oily, with thick noodles and plenty of chicken, and another orders plain chow mein alongside Singapore vermicelli and sesame prawn toast. Close behind are the spring rolls, praised as veggie ones in salt and as particularly good with chilli. Reviewers also name the beef in black pepper sauce, a sweet and crispy peking chicken, salt and chilli chips, and custard milk buns. Several say the food arrives well packed and stays hot. Others mention a large range of vegetarian dishes and a chilli oil side that makes the meal. Staff are called friendly and kind, including the lady on the counter and the family who run it, and a few call it the best Chinese in Market Harborough. The main complaint comes from one reviewer who was charged for items missing from an order. On the next order, the takeaway would not deduct them as a goodwill gesture. Others recall free extras, such as prawn crackers and samosas, or curried fried dumplings.

“I noticed a few items were missing from my order. While I understand this might happen occasionally, I was still charged for those items. Made them aware the next order and they would NOT offer to deduct the price of the missing items as a goodwill gesture.”

“Rainbow chinese are such kind people with brilliant food. Everything ive ordered has all been delicious and their prices are very reasonable for harborough. They do an amazing chilli oil side that really makes the meal. The family who run it are so lovely and you can tell they really care about making great food. A small unassuming takeaway that serves up some really tasty food. If you like sweet and crispy dishes, the peking chicken is delicious!”
- Chloe Betts
“We have just discovered this amazing Chinese and have had takeaway from it 2 days in a row its been that delicious! The food was well packed and stayed extremely hot for a long time. The chicken chow mein is exceptional, not salty or oily like most takeaways. It has nice thick noodles with a generous amount of chicken in it. The beef in black pepper sauce was incredible too and packed with beef. Overall every dish was spot on, they offer a large range of vegetarian dishes, we will definitely be having a takeaway from here again soon”
