We stumbled across it one afternoon with my son, whist visiting the music store next door. The food was excellent and extremely well priced. A real hidden gem, with an uncommercial personal touch. Simple yet good food. The portions are sizeable but they are happy for you to take it home. i went there a few months ago and as i don't live in the same town, I'm looking forward to going back, the cafe hasn't been forgotten.
I recon the admin community are trying to keep this little gem quite. It should have a lot more reviews. I went her feeling very skeptic. I left converted I had the red curry a forced some salt and pepper chicken wings to go with it. The curry had lovely meaty pieces of chicken breast and really rich and full of flavour. The salt and pepper wings delivered too. Crisp coating and succulent chicken inside mmmm. I’ve eaten I have eaten in four Chinese/Asian food places. I’m southampton and my friend who owns a Chinese supermarket and cafe recommended one of them. I found this one by accident and it’s hands down better than the one my friend recommended. I’m looking forward to trying more on the menu
On way to Mayflower theatre and decided to eat b4 show. Just looked like a cafe, but menu did english and chinese. Run by Chinese couple. Wonderfully surprised by fresh, zingy and very reasonably priced chinese meal. What a gem of a find right near theatre. Will definitely return.
Walked past here. Food looked very enticing from pictures in the window. Decided to go for lunch. Absolutely blown away by the quality of the noodles! Genuinely brilliant, fresh and delicious. Two meals, two drinks. £16. Faultless cannot recommend enough !
Fantastic lunch. I popped in for the first time today and were immediately impressed with how friendly and helpful the lady serving us was. The House Special Fried Noodles, that both my wife and I ordered, came out promptly and hot, clearly cooked from scratch and with love. Absolutely delicious and a very generous portion topped with an egg. I would absolutely recommend The Rainbow and both my wife and I will be returning for lunch next week, Fantastic
Stopped here for lunch and was more than satisfied. The service was excellent, didn't have to wait long and the food was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend to anyone!
Greeted on arrival, swiftly service. Had Holy basil chilli chicken. Great price, fast service. Very close to Southampton Train station.
Don’t be put off by this unpretentious little cafe - it’s a gem! We hadn’t booked and were planning on eating lunch at Casa Italia just a few doors down from The Mayflower. It was full and so was the pub. We tried this cafe. Delightful friendly owner and the Malaysian red curry was delicious. My mum had a jacket potato with chicken mayo and aunt had noodle soup. We will return!
Very generous portion of food at a good price. Staff attentive and helpful. Lunch time food smells amazing so look forward to coming back. Food available for eat in and take away!

We dropped into this little restaurant for a pre-theatre meal. Impressed by the cleanliness, the extensive and interesting menu, reasonable prices and the warm welcome by the lady. The food was prepared quickly and served with a smile. All three of us were pleased with the hot, fresh ingredients and lovely fluffy rice. Some of the most tasty Chinese meals we have experienced. We have no hesitation in recommending it. I wish it were near us, we would use it often!
