We stopped in on our way to Rockwood, Maine because we passed this place all the time. I have to…read moreagree with everyone who's written a review that the interior of this restaurant meets a whole Lotta help. I hate when the store becomes the front of the restaurant it just annoys me. Also had looked at the menus online and none of them had the prices that we paid so I took a picture of the new prices as of July 2024. Most assuredly much higher than what was shown online. I would also agree that the people who run this place seems irritated that we actually stopped to order food, but I think it might just be his personality. With all the external negatives about this place, I have to say the food was good. They were very busy with lots of people coming in and getting pick up orders. I probably wouldn't sit here and eat because I feel like I'm eating in their store room, but I do have to say the food is good , I'm giving them 3 stars because they need to clean the place up

Another quick update after another year of several visits. I have added a few more dishes to the…read moreones that were okay here but nt on my list to order again. Plus on our last trip they forgot to send the sweet and sour sauce with the sweet and sour chicken, or the rice that was supposed to come with it. It is a pain because now I will have to check each order when we pick it up. I mean, it is unlikely to happen again, but who wants to drive back to fetch stuff? Well, it is our hometown Chinese option so we will keep trying, but I daresay if we are driving to or through Newport before we order, we may well use one of their options instead.

How have I been shopping next door to this place and never once noticed that there was a Chinese…read morerestaurant in front of me? While waiting for a tire repair, my mechanic mentioned Rainbow and that he really liked the pork fried rice. I took a mental note and drove there after the repair as I was starving. I ordered the pork fried rice and a couple of egg rolls. When I went in to pay, I saw them drop the egg rolls in the fryer, a very good sign. I also watched them package up the fried rice. Needless to say, I got in my car and started to eat. The fried rice was steamy and delicious, with a good amount of diced pork and tons of veggies. The egg roll was screaming hot and crispy, with crunchy, tasty filling, and no hint of Chinese five spice, which seems to be a favorite addition of many local Chinese restaurants. There are options for vegetarians, and it was all reasonably priced. I may need to put Rainbow on speed dial.

I chose this restaurant because it had the highest Yelp rating for Chinese restaurants in the area…read more I was very disappointed. I ordered shrimp in lobster sauce, an old favorite in Americanized Chinese restaurants. It was served mixed with the pork-fried rice I chose. The shrimp were OK but the sauce was tasteless and had no hint of the lobster flavor I was craving. The crispy egg roll that accompanied the dish was filled, as far as I could tell, by nothing besides chopped cabbage.

The quality has improved greatly from my last review. I would recommend going here and just sitting for a while and having dinner. If you can't sit for a while, they do have take out.

Normally we never have any problems with service, though we don't know their names, they always treat us with smiles and kindness no matter what, and this kind girl continued to do so after getting yelled at.
