Lantern Chinese Takeaway presents a mixed bag of dining experiences, eliciting a polarized response from patrons. While some rave about the generous portions, fresh flavors, and friendly service, others express disappointment over underwhelming dishes and reheated meals. Signature items like sweet and sour chicken balls receive praise for their crispy texture, while other offerings leave diners frustrated due to excessive salt and lack of taste. Despite the contrasting opinions, many agree that the establishment holds potential for those craving quality Chinese cuisine, with a few loyal customers journeying far for their takeout fix.

We have been dining at this restaurant for approximately a year. The food is consistently delicious, fresh, and excellent service. I would highly recommend it.
