Big Lantern offers a wonderful Chinese dining experience with a wide variety of vegetarian options, including tofu, meatless beef, chicken, and fish. The restaurant is kid-friendly, with dim sum being a hit with children. The menu features well-cooked dishes like scallion pancakes, fried wings, and kung pao chicken, all at proper prices. Customers praise the portion sizes and flavors, noting that the value is great, especially the lunch specials. The clean and quiet atmosphere makes it a great spot to enjoy a meal, with wheelchair accessibility and a homely, non-stuffy feel.
Favorites include the cumin lamb, mandarin eggplant, and roast duck, with many dishes receiving high ratings such as the dim sum veggie combo platter, mapo tofu made vegan, and the turnip cake with meatless chicken. The service is noted as impeccable, and prices are considered very fair, including $10 soju cocktails. While many love the variety of vegan options, some suggest that these items should be clearly labeled on the menu. Overall, Big Lantern stands out for its delicious food and welcoming environment, making it a popular choice among both locals and visitors.
