What Robin Grüll likes about The Lantern:
4/5 for me. The food was nice. It was warm. Maybe could have been hotter. The drink was warm. Very generous portions. They gave us free prawn crackers. I would definitely order again. Much better than chopsticks who i ordered from last week. What Laura Lopez doesn't like about The Lantern:
Have ordered salt and chilli ribs and chicken wings numerous times previously. However tonight’s offering was well under par. It arrived early but cold. The wings were ‘wet’ inside and covered in a sauce instead of being cooked in a sauce. The salt and chilli ribs were inedible. They were so dried out they snapped! Really disappointed for over £30 weeks had just chicken balls and 1 chicken noodle to share between us. View all feedback.

New Chinese takeaway offers hit-and-miss dishes, with some lacking flavor and quality, while others impress with deliciousness and generous portions. Some disappointments include cold, dry ribs and underwhelming Szechuan pork. However, standout items like salt and chilli chicken and Chinese style pork shine. Customers report mixed experiences with delivery times and service, but the overall consensus leans towards returning for the scrumptious food and friendly staff. Despite some inconsistencies, this new restaurant seems to be winning over customers in Eastbourne with its fresh ingredients and great portions. Worth a try for those seeking a reliable Chinese takeaway option.
