Red Lantern is at least a 3-1/2 star. A friend invited us to Red Lantern because they had Lunar New Year coupons that had to be used by the end of the month. They made early dinner reservations on Open Table. It has a beautiful interior and was empty at 4:00 pm but got crowded by the time we finished dinner. Overall all the dishes were good portion and tasty. Service was good and attentive. For a casino restaurant I was surprised it was as good as it was. Didn't take pictures of all the dishes since I didn't think I would be rating a casino restaurant. The Wor Won Ton was good. Broth was clean and not too salty and the won ton was large and very good filling. We had salted fish fried rice, beef chow fun, fried flounder, egg rolls, fried chicken wings, roasted pork belly and mongolian beef.

We love Red Lantern... great BBQ pork, some of the best fried rice around. Mongolian beef, singapore noodles and potstickers with some hot tea are always a huge hit. Service is always fantastic as well. Nice atmosphere and somehow not super Smokey despite the location. Highly recommend.

This place is awesome. Food is great, service is wonderful, and the environment is awesome.I also bought General Chicken but my photo was blurry ?. All the food was wonderful. Because I’m a huge curry fan, the Singapore Noodles was my favorite item, but like I said, everything was excellent. I’ll definitely return as soon as I’m in the area .

Food was good until a bug was crawling on our table .we were there to celebrate 2 birthdays .The waiter asked whose birthday and we told him ,He said he would have to see our IDs to verify and walked away ,He came back to table with one desert and candle .We reminded him we had two birthdays and he said we could share the ice cream !!! Terrible service !!!

Ok first of all let me say we have been here a few times and this will be the first time I am doing a review. Service was still so busy very good and fast service ambience was nice for being a casino. Restaurant food has always been good here, so was the priceI will put up some pictures but there are a lot that you can look at if you just look at them if you are here make sure you try this place you won't be disappointed. It is very good and we will be back soon. Check it out.

food was extremely bland.... The drinks were great, however we ordered several dishes... if you cant make good fried rice i'm not coming back....

Favorite restaurant to go when going to a concert. Staff is great and attentive. Food is fresh and delicious. Always look forward to going to Red Lantern for a delicious dinner and fun concert!

My husband was very happy with his express plate ($25.00). He ordered the General Chicken (which was listed as spicy and we asked for it to be extra spicy...and unfortunately it wasn't). It had more of a sweet taste. Next time we will ask for some chili paste. I had an order of the pan fried pot stickers (which came with the wrong dipping sauce listed on the menu). Our waitress (Angela) was attentive and brought the correct sauce. The food was good!

Everything we ordered was great. And Q our waitress could not have been any better. Ordered: walnut shrimp, pork chow mein, pot stickers, dumplings, fried rice, mongolian beef, orange chicken, and wine.

The food is very good. Prices are a bit expensive, but then again, it's worth it. The ambiance is fantastic, and the service is impeccable! I would highly recommend this place if you want some superior quality Chinese food.

We had a nice dinner at the Red Lantern before the Brian Setzer concert. Decor is really great and very glad that smoking is not allowed in the restaurant itself (although you have to go through the smoky casino to get there.) We ordered off the fixed price dinner menu. The egg drop soup is very good, spring rolls and pot stickers very good, beef with asparagus excellent, and the kung pao chicken was good but not great. FYI medium spice level on kung pao was very spicy. We ordered a couple mixed drinks and those were very good. Overall a very nice experience.

Took my bestie here since she has relocated back to the Bay Area from North Carolina and Red Lantern did not disappoint. The alcoholic beverages were very good and reasonably priced, the food was excellent and service was timely and spot on.

We were looking forward to dining here prior to a concert but we WILL NOT RETURN. The host could not find our reservation and made no effort to do so until we indicated that we had received multiple confirmation messages from them. We ordered wor wonton soup & lettuce wraps from our less than enthusiastic server. The soup broth tasted good but the wontons had a hard center that was so disgusting that we could not eat it. The presentation of lettuce wraps was poor and included some extremely dry meat with a bit of seasoning and one small sauce - the flavor was so bad that we did not eat it. In addition, it was incredibly loud so we had to sit next to each other to visit.

Kung Pao chicken was outstanding. Just the right amount of heat, perfect veggies and tender chicken. Lovely setting for a casino. Entrees are large portion and priced in the twenties.

The food was good but it seemed like the service was rushed. The people next to us were eating and the waiter came over to ask them if they were done. Same thing happened to us so and then he dropped off a check while we were eating.
