    I love this place!!! Excellent Chinese food, nice presentation, great service, beautiful decor. Our go-to before or after a show. Can be noisy since it is open to the casino, so ask for a table in the rear if you're sensitive.

    We made this reservation because we were going to the concert later in the evening. We were seated immediately and our server brought the menus to us. We had time to select a drink and make our dinner selections. The drinks were excellent and our meals were brought quickly and at the proper temperature. Our server checked on us to make sure everything was as ordered. This is a finely run restaurant with great service and food.

    Food quality is excellent and always consistent. Portion size is family style so love that we can take left overs for another meal. Service was excellent and even though it was Mother's Day (yes, reservations are a must) we didn't fell rushed.

    This is my second visit, and I was disappointed in the food. In particular the Chow Mein with Barbecue Pork was old. The barbecue pork tasted like it was made a few days earlier. It even smelled old. The Chow Mein upset my stomach, which makes me wonder if some bacteria was present.

    Red Lantern has the best Kung Pow Chicken i have ever had. Everything we ordered was delicious. I highly recommend eating at this restaurant. They are popular and get busy. But the food is high quality and authentic. The restaurant is decorated in authentic Chinese decor.

    Portions are really small. We ordered the prefix meal for 8 people at $35 a person and it definitely didn’t fill us. We we shocked at how small the portion were. We should have just ordered individually: on another note/ the Mongolian beef was so good.

    Service is always outstanding. Our waitress made a recommendation for basil chicken (spicy) and it was fabulous. Our favorite waitress is Q. Very personable, and great sense of humor. She is an asset to Red Lattern.
