Red Lantern Chinese - Brea

The food at this restaurant is excellent, you can't make a wrong choice from their menu. The orange chicken is delicious, as well as their vegan version of the dish. The Chicken Chow Mein and fried rice are also very tasty. The Kung Pau tofu is full of flavor.

We stopped by for lunch and ordered the Broccoli Beef and Orange Chicken from the lunch menu. The meals came with soup, rice, and an egg roll. In addition, we also ordered chicken chow mein. The food and service were both good.

My experience at this restaurant on 05/16/2022 was terrible. I ordered the beef broccoli and ended up getting food poisoning that same night. The beef had a strange texture, indicating it was probably already bad. I strongly advise against ordering from this place.

Pretty good take out. I thought the portions were generous and food was pretty legit. Their take out is very efficient. You call in and they are ready within 15 minutes or so. Everything was pretty tasty and not too oily. During covid times, they seem to have a pretty organized system where you can stand outside and wait. There isn't too much overcrowding because they blockade where customers can stand. I would come here again.

We ordered Kung pao chicken and lemon chicken. The Kung pao tasted very fishy, maybe it was deep fried in the same oil as fish. But that alone doesn't seem like it would account for how terrible it was. The lemon chicken barely had any chicken in it. It was cut very thin and then battered, but there was more batter than chicken and many pieces had no chicken at all. Both dishes were just awful. None of us could finish them and we just threw them both away.
