Red Lantern Chinese

It's no New Shanghai in Lake Forest! That remains our #1 always. This was ok. Doing some things fairly well, but not amazing. Ok flavors, but I wasn't thrilled with the quality of the meat. Cream cheese wontons had little flavor. Paper wrapped chicken had no flavor and was questionable as it if it was completely cooked inside. Teo main dishes tasted very similar though claimed to be different sauces. Busy and understaffed, so seemed to be in a hurry. We aren't planning to return since it's at least a $50 dinner just for the three of us. Photos of House crispy beef, orange chicken, paper wrapped chicken, and cream cheese wontons

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.

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.

Be rude ONE MORE TIME and I will make sure the world knows no matter how good your food is, if you treat people badly like I was treated, you will lose business. If you are SO busy you cant be polite to people in person (like me) or on the phone (like I watched in horror as I waited), you better hire more people. Reserva una mesa ahora

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.

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.

Rude people are working there. Dirty place. Food on the floor, napkins not picked up. Dingy, dusty, pay counter full of old stuff that looks like it's been there for years, overall uncomfortable. Reserva una mesa ahora

Very friendly nice staff delicious food! Still open during the lockdown for pickup/delivery. It was ready very quickly too. I've gotten delivery from them in the past and it's always very quick.
