The portion is very small, only 3-4 small pieces of sweet and sour pork. The sauce of the fish-flavored eggplant rice is sour and very unpalatable

I recently visited Rainbow Food and ordered the General Tao Chicken, which turned out to be the worst I’ve ever had. The chicken was overcooked, the sauce was bland, and the overall dish was simply inedible. Initially, the restaurant offered a refund, which I appreciated. However, they later started apologizing after 30mins waiting, explaining that the cook was sick, which is why my food came out so poorly. While I understand that everyone has off days, this explanation felt like an excuse rather than a genuine apology. I didn’t voice my concerns further at the time because there was a child present in the store, but this experience was unacceptable. I hope the restaurant takes this feedback seriously and ensures better quality control in the future.

This is a belated review. We specifically drove out to Scarborough today to indulge in our fave dishes and just found out the original owners have retired and sold the business. We’ll definitely miss their Baked Ham and Chicken on Spaghetti (no chicken), Mapo Tofu with rice on the side, Deep Fried Spicy Pork Chop on Rice, and Black Pepper Chicken Steak on Rice...

Honestly this place has been a staple in my family for decades. It has gone through multiple owner changes, but each owner is still as good as the last. The lady at the cash is so sweet though and has a smile on her face and is so pleasant! Price wise the food cannot be beat, it’s extremely filling, possibly even for two people per dish. Try everything on the menu and see what you like, some things are a hit, and some may not be as good as other places so you’ll have to try and see for yourself. As someone else said, the flavour went down a bit, I guess because of inflation and they had to reduce some things. However it’s still amazing and I love this place.

Went there for lunch to order soup noodle with pork chop. The wait time was 30 mins. When I asked her about it, the lady was rude and said I was slowing her down. Food was mediocre.Update to owner's response: a good restaurant will always value their customers feedback and apologize. This is not the case as owner is defensive.1. owner said they're behind after I paid.2. I only followed up twice. First time at 20 mins, they said the food is coming. Second follow up at 30 mins. I asked why soup noodles take 30 mins and if it's not coming that I'll like a refund.They said the pork chop was just fried up. (I'm pretty sure that's a lie because the pork chop would've been piping hot when I ate it. It was room temperature).3. They are stating that they have video evidence that I was in the wrong. Horrible customer service.If there is anything other than an apology after my update, it further proves my point that this owner has no idea how to treat their customers.

Simple northern Chinese dishes for a fair price, in a small but homey miniature foodcourt. Had the mushroom onion pork stirfry over rice (1) and soya sauce green onion deep fried tofu (2) shared with a good friend ?. Pretty tasty and filling for both of us, combined.Lady taking orders was energetic, friendly, and laidback compared to other nearby establishments (Generally, service manners are not a top priority in traditional Chinese, small family-run stores). Accommodated for my buddy's request regarding containers, forgot to return one out of humble mistake. Courteous enough response.Atmosphere can be a bit noisy, and the conversations sometimes obnoxious, but that generally doesn't say much about this eatery or its staff. Plenty of chairs and tables, though a bit dirty. There's a washroom downstairs, but it's gross with mold, has no soap, and its dryer doesn't work. These are side matters, though.❓ VERDICT? -- Good ✔♻️ COME AGAIN? -- Yes ✔Do come prepared if either (1) certain behaviours or (2) facilities' hygiene bother you. Otherwise, good food for a quick lunch served by friendly staff if you're searching for some place obscure to eat out.~ ZRA
These is my favorite Chinese restaurant in a plaza where you can choose different types of Chinese cuisine.The eating area is outdated 1970 style and nd not very clean.I would strongly recommend to eat at home , as sometime you can find homeless people in the eating area.The food price doubled following Covid-19, however the quality of the food did not improved much.The eating area conditions are not Rainbow Food responsibility, but they should take action to renovate.
