  I haven't had a single bad menu item yet after multiple visits. I love going right when they open when it's still quiet. Can get noisy with music and other guests in the later evening hours. Take your pick. Either way it's not much of an issue. Great service.

  Food: Delicious. Tuesday is an all you can eat sushi for $25 a person, well worth it. I highly recommend the Tuna Tempura - hot, crunchy/fried roll
  Service: Great, friendly.
  Atmosphere: Nice decor, cozy and dimly lit, but music is too loud and doesn't allow you to speak at a normal level.

  The food is pretty good. I had a bowl of noodles with duck and it was tasty. Although this place is wayyyy overpriced for the quality. Not saying its bad but for $60 a head, I should be getting better than 3-star food.

  The place is phenomenal in terms of the overall design and space itself. While it's dimly lit it feels very spacious but doesn't feel like you're out of space even if you go in there with shirts/shorts (which I did).
  
  The service was fantastic. In fact our sushi came out so fast it probably took less than five minutes. Granted, we did go there around 4pm on Saturday so it wasn't crowded at all.
  
  Now the 1-star deduction is the sushi itself. Unfortunately for the price (I get it, it's Boston), the overall experience of the sushi was around 6 out of 10. The rolls were beautifully presentation wise. A bit too much on the rice that wasn't as plump and one roll had rice packed so tightly it made the bite rather strong. There was more vegetable and rice than the the actual fish itself. The fish was very much underwhelming. We've had much better sushi in other places in that sense.
  
  Their Korean BBQ was one of the best we had though. VERY tender and seasoned just right.
  
  Overall, the experience and the staff were very professional and we had a great time. A little disappointed with the sushi but we are a bit of a sashimi and sushi snobs so take it with a grain of salt. It is fresh so if you're not picky you cannot go wrong.

  Great service, great food. We went on a Thursday evening. Had reservations for 4 at 7pm. We were seated immediately and our waitress, Grace, took our drink order for non-alcoholic beverages. She walked us through the menu and helped us pick out a drink for the table. We decided on the shipwreck, not too sweet, not too much alcohol; and it was on fire! Heftier bill than you will find in Chinatown, but far surpasses in quality and atmosphere.

  Been going to various Chinese restaurants across the country, from Miami Mr. Chow to countless west coast Chinese joints. Red lantern far surpasses all of them. In terms of quality of the food the quality of the preparation and the quality of the ingredients. THEY ARE ALL TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN AT RED LANTERN! My favorite is the hot rock with the salmon in the beef in that sauce they give you was beyond words. My second favorite is the house fried rice with the Wiyagu beef in the great shrimp!

  Fantastic Asian Fusion Food. The quality and the flavor they provide is in generous proportions that are ideal sized for a group or a family. We highly recommend Red Lantern for anyone who likes Chinese Food. You will be impressed as we are. Both our waiter and the manager, Ray Ramirez were delightful hosts.

  Gorgeous restaurant. Food was delicious. Yummy dumplings and Mongolian beef. Only negative was our waitress was horrible. It took 40 minutes to get our first round of drinks, the second round she forgets one of our drinks, and it took her another 40 min to bring the check. Other than that this restaurant is stunning and I can't wait to go back!

  Not the best sushi but a great atmosphere, decent cocktails and diverse crowd.
