Rainbow Food

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.

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The eating area is outdated 1970 style and nd not very clean.I would strongly recommend to eat at home , as sometime you can find homeless people in the eating area.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.

I've been coming here for years since I moved into this neighborhood. This place has singlehandedly fed me when I had to move during covid and had my home being renovated. The lady is always so kind and the food is top notch!

We tried Rainbow Food for the first time - takeout order - and everything was delicious! Generous portions, affordable prices and all cooked to perfection. Would definitely order again and so glad to have discovered this restaurant.

Amazing!!! I used to go to another restaurant (Shanghai Court in Markham) for Chinese food but they retired. I was searching for a similar place and finally found it. It is everything I like. Friendly service, huge portions (with huge meat), super delicious, fast, and extremely cheap. I will definitely come back and I really hope the owners of the restaurant prosper and continue what they are doing.😍🤩👍

Edit: Had to deduct a star because recently the food isn’t very flavourful. Also there was a bit of egg shell in one of the meals.

Such great quality food and friendly service! Absolutely amazing flavours and quick Chinese take out with the best price in town. My family can’t order from anywhere else after trying this place! Everything we’ve ordered from the menu has been excellent, and especially the soups that come with the meals, those are a personal favourite so I always order extra!

We adore the staff, and their willingness to accommodate our needs at all times.

The tables in the food court are open and ready for use, but it seems like take out is the most popular option here.

We will absolutely continue to return, thank you for being amazing!

The food is fine. The salt and chilli pork chop was a nice cut of meat, though not the best seasoning.

The disappointing part was that I ordered a set meal witch comes with green pepper beef. I was asked if I wanted pork or beef with that, but was not told that beef would require an extra $4. We didn’t realize until we went to pick the meal up and was told beef was expensive and needed to pay more than the advertised price. I have no issue with them charging a reasonable amount to make a living, but they need to either change the menu item to pork or increase the meal cost on the menu. Unexpected added costs are never appreciated.
