Love this place, small menu, great food. Last time I tried to order, they were closed. Sure hope it was only a family vacation.

I love this place! Everything I’ve tried here has been great and the staff is beyond friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend!

Healthy, fresh, fulfilling and delicious portions! Never disappointed in this establishment. Shrimp pad Thai is simply the best around. What a gem this place is.

We consider this an essential neighborhood restaurant! The menu is small but it seems they just focus on what they do well. And they do it really well! Every dish we have tried is very good, uses high quality ingredients and incredibly fresh. Given the change to only being open a few days a week I assume it's a mom and pop operation so please support 2 Lanterns!

Amazing food and great service, felt like there was no COVID protocol other than the waiters and staff wearing masks.. Way too crowded and people close together!

The menu is limited, but the things that I have tasted have been delicious. Jenny is a one woman dynamo. I don't know how she does it, but she's organized, thorough and immensely friendly, all while cooking multiple dishes.

We had the spicy chicken, beef Lo Main and orange chicken. Everything we had was phenomenal and fresh. I definitely recommend two lanterns for your Asian food fix. Thanks for the good food.

What are the hours of this business or is it permanently closed? Last few times I stopped by it was closed and the note on the door was explaining the hour and days limitations of operations. One time I stopped by and restaurant was working but entry was not allowed with a note that they are taking carryout orders. Not 1 star for food but for inadequate info on wheter is open or not.

Just ordered some apps to snack on. The egg rolls were more of a spring roll but delicious and the steamed buns were worth making a trip back. Try it out and support local!!

My husband and I come here once a week. This is genuinely the best Chinese I've ever had. The woman behind the counter does basically everything herself. She is a champion, so kind, makes incredible food, and remembered us by the 3rd time we came. The food is never that "typical" take out greasy. Just clean delicious food. Couldn't recommend enough!

A real gem of a place! It's got a small menu and small eat-in space but don't let that stop you. The food is SO authentic and "home-cooked" and the prices are so reasonable! The Kung Pao and Orange Chicken are highly recommended and all the noodles are amazing too! Vegetables are SO fresh!!! You can ask for anything to be left out, everything is cooked to order in these dishes. Even my 4-year-old loved the Mongolian Beef! The bubble drinks/smoothies are so amazing too - all real ingredients used! I've gone to many of the chains and the bubble drinks here just can't beat them, in my opinion. Just give it a try, you won't regret it!!

This place is a real gem! Simple menu but the chef uses high quality ingredients and somehow keeps prices in line with your typical Thai restaurant while running the entire place by herself and still maintaining a candid smile every time you visit. I don't know how she does it, she must have some sort of super powers!

This place wasn't good at all. The flavors of the Orange Chicken was really off. The food just wasn't good.

A+ A+ A+ Amazing flavor. Will be back soon! I recommend the kung pao chicken and egg rolls. So delicious.

Small mainly takeout. Excellent noodles perfectly done and veggies fresh with individual flavors not just a mass of stir fried glop. Wontons were house-made and excellent - soup is not to be missed. Kung pao very good. Jen the sole staffer did it alll smoothly and efficiently. Menu is Chinese & Thai with daily specials at a very reasonable price. Don't like to review after just one visit but my friend & I agreed Two Lanterns is a real treasure. Thank you Jen!
