Got the lunch special General Tao's with white rice and an egg roll! Fantastic. They also take credit card or cash. I've added a menu pic as well since there are none here read more

China Rainbow is located in the Dunkin Donuts plaza. When one or both are busy, the parking lot can be a fun puzzle. There is a little seating but most of their business seems to be takeout. The food is good, very traditional American Chinese fare. There is a good sized serving of rice for each entree, and the food travels very well. Prices are reasonable. read more

They closed in March but they've reopened just a few days ago (as of June 5), and we welcome their return. The menu is the same, and the food prep is about the same, and best of all, the results are still tasty. We favor their curry dishes, which are consistently good and freshly prepared. The owners and staff are good folks, and since they have always been mostly takeout, we hope they'll find business booming in a short time. We'll certainly be helping them along the way. read more

China Rainbow - Reopened in June - Chinese Near Me - Litchfield, Connecticut

China rainbow has the best Chinese food in which field. While they don't deliver, and you must bring cash versus a credit card, the owners are really nice. They cook food according to specifications, and I have never been let down by the quality of the food. read more

Placed an order for crab ragoons, pork lo mein and an egg roll. Was told it would be ready in 40 minutes; it sounded busy so I waited an extra 20 minutes before I went to go pick it up. When I got there an hour after placing it, it still wasn't ready and I was told another 10 minutes. I am glad they are busy, and business is good, but 30 minutes after a projected pickup time to wait for an order is absurd. My low stars are really more so for my concern of Covid exposure in this establishment. The restaurant has safety measures up for staff; the register and kitchen has a plexiglass barrier and you take your food bag out of a wooden box that you open from the outside. The waiting area is small and packed with people waiting for their orders. I would have preferred to wait outside but it took a few minutes for the lady answering calls to come to the window and ask me for my pickup number so I had no choice. No hand sanitizer anywhere or any type of distancing enforced. No thanks, I will 100% not be back. read more

Good value, solid Chinese takeout in Litchfield - one combo platter is usually enough for two dinners. Not haute cuisine but tasty enough with good ingredients read more

This place used to be a little sketchy but in their new location with their new chef I have nothing but good things to say! Food is good, tastes fresh, and delicious and not over priced. Couldn't be happier Litchfield has a good Chinese place again!! Yes, they take only cash (they'll take a card if you HAVE to) but lots of places do that so give them a break and go to the atm :) read more

This is the best thing to happen to Litchfield food scene in decades!! Authentic, high-quality, gourmet Chinese food at reasonable prices that don't bust the wallet. I ordered for eight people with a range of tastes. Some people liked spicy food , some people are vegetarian and everybody loved their dish! They do excellent versions of all the traditional Chinese food and their special diet section deserves heaps of recognition as well! Very efficient and the food is prepared quickly and is very fresh. read more

Got my pork fried rice and there was bits of metal in it??? Maybe from the pan it was fried in or the scrubber the pan was cleaned with??? Also, now-a-days everybody pays with plastic, I don't believe in their "cash-only" policy. read more

We ordered from here only once and that was quite enough. We placed our order and waited indoors for it to be ready. I watched as they did a very brisk business. When our order was called and I offered the cashier my credit card, he asked instead if I didn't have any cash on me. I had to insist on him taking my card before he ran the transaction through his machine. (It was for $32 so it's not like I wanted to use my card on a $6 order.) On the ride home, one of the dishes leaked through the bag and onto my partner's jacket. (Dry cleaning could not remove the stain.) Arriving home, we discovered the chicken dish was undercooked. We ended up throwing most of what we ordered out in disgust and two years later we have not returned. read more

We' ve been going to China Rainbow for years. We were always amazed at how busy they usually are, but they manage to be so accurate with the orders and the quality of the food was excellent and always hot when we got home. Today was very disappointing. Our order was not right, they charged us for four egg rolls, but only gave us three, ordered two combos, got one and a regular entree with white rice, the taste of the beef and broccoli wasn't up to their usual standards and the food was warm, not hot as it normally has been. I called to let them know, I was referred to the manager who made excuses and said if I wanted to food hot I had to come in to order it, not phone it in. When I asked if it was under new management, he said "No". This place is not the same, the manager didn't care that the order wasn't right. As a result, we'll be looking elsewhere when we want Chinese. Darn it!! Bjh read more

Clean- fast- FRESH!! The best chicken Lo Mein!! Get it spicy!! Steamed veggies with garlic also a fav! read more

China Rainbow - They are fast and friendly- portions always hearty. - Chinese Near Me - Litchfield, Connecticut

This was certainly not my first visit to this place. Usually, the food is just decent. Tonight, it was horrendous. It deserves 0 stars. Apart from the food being totally unflavored, I was concerned that the chicken in the chicken fried rice as well as the scallops in another dish were undercooked. I decided to return the food to alert them. The chef literally argued with me and pulled out select pieces of chicken from the fried rice telling me that they were indeed cooked. I left them with the uneaten portions, about 7/8 of fried rice and 1/2 of the scallops without further ado and without a refund. There is NO way I will return. read more

For a displaced jersey girl finding GOOD Chinese in CT has been a challenge. While not everything here is awesome (breaded kung pow is a no no) might be the best in our area. Compared to the horrid chewy chicken served in New Milford this works. What is good-garlic chicken, steamed chix and broc, the lo mein, mei fun, and all varieties of fried rice. Lunch specials are a great deal too. read more

Well where do I start.... we've been here before usually decent Chinese food . Tonight not only did I wait 45 minutes for my food ( was told 20 minutes) but it was absolutely disgusting. The chicken was fatty with chunks of bone in it, the chicken fingers tasted like they were fried in old nasty oil. Vegetable fried rice bland with hardly any veggies in it. Had to throw away most of the meal. Absolutely inedible. What a waste of money. The last time we got food from them they didn't give us an order of lemon chicken and insisted they didn't charge us for it but they did. Unbelievable. We will not be going there again. read more

Eat in is the best way to experience the freshness of flavor but bring your own silverware, the plastic ware is marginal at best!

This is not my kind of chinese restaurant. The ingredients are good, but as prepared is bland. I like my Hot & Sour soup to be spicy. The people there are wonderful. read more

Very disappointed!!! I have witnessed many times that they try to tell you they don't take cards....just cash. Its not true!!!! They have a credit card machine!! If they don't want to use this they should put a sign up!!! They were very rude to my sister in order for her to use her cash and not her card!!! read more

Typical take-out style chinese. Nice people. Food is mediocre at best. Only show in town unfortunately - New Moon in Torrington is way better read more

Frequent visitor to this place. Essentially a take out only. Favorite dishes are General Tso's chicken. Comes with perfectly cooked broccoli. Also triple delight (jumbo shrimp, beef, & chicken sauteed with variety of vegetables) is excellent. Prices are very reasonable and the food is consistently good. read more

I've been a regular customer for years never have been disappointed the food is delicious fresh and ready when you want it they don't like to take credit cards but they will. Ask nicely. read more

This place is close and convenient. Not my favorite Chinese place, but they do have very tasty fried doughnuts!
