About Chung Ku Rainhill
Chung Ku Rainhill is a Chinese takeaway in Prescot, at 564 Warrington Rd. The menu pairs Cantonese-style sweet & sour pork with a banquet menu, which gives a group of diners a set spread to order from. Hot and sour soup and black bean sauce dishes sit alongside, and the menu includes gluten free choices for anyone avoiding gluten. Orders can be placed by telephone. The kitchen opens evenings only and closes on Tuesdays. Saturday nights and other usual high-demand times can be busy. Chicken satay and sweet & sour king prawns round out the list of starters and mains.

Customer Review Summary
Friendly, quick service is what reviewers mention most, with several noting food coming out fast even when the takeaway was busy. On the food, a long-time customer calls the Cantonese style sweet and sour pork still the best around, and another praises the gluten free choices. Complaints are substantial, though. One reviewer says the pickup estimate fell far short of the real wait and the chips were ice cold, and the manager explained it was busy rather than apologising. Another reports that a banquet chicken satay tasted of vomit and says the manager insisted nothing was wrong. A customer of many years found the king prawn sweet and sour sauce like vinegar, the prawns small, and the black bean sauce like beef in gravy, and wondered about new owners. Another received brown, shrivelled sui mai and tough beef. Not every visit disappoints: one diner who found mushrooms in the hot and sour soup still called it yummy and plans to reorder without them.
