Lantern Chinese Restaurant

Hello I am a food inspector/ not over this district but I will be sending my review over to the Spector covering this district the noodles and soup tasted like sewage and carried an awful smell the chicken was wet and tasted old I am disgusted with what I was served and will be persuing the necessary steps to make sure this business goes under the proper investigation required for this establishment to maintain occupancy. Although I frequently visit this restaurant this is the first time that I was so disappointed in what I received. Per a professional do not give this establishment your business until a positive review has been posted by another legitimate inspector.

Ordered chicken and green beans; young lady responded with you mean green beens and chicken n.? I said sure green beans and Chicken. No chicken!!! Not the same.

Arrived to pickup my food and waited 10 min for sometime to come to the counter.

Sadly poor experience with the Lantern this go around. I will be requesting a free entree to replace the error on your part. I know it’s difficult to find staff these days, but young lady who took my worded on today was so confused.

The Best General Tso's chicken I've ever had. I was initially 2nd guessing my order due to the price, but I was super happy with the flavor and quality of the food. I will be back.

Absolutely horrible food I've had some questionable Chinese food before and I will say this is that place. Chicken is very over cooked and rubbery the sauce that came with it was like canned gravy with a layer of grease on top. Only thing semi decent was the egg roll and sauce packets. Sorry to say but never again. Don't waste your money here

Ordered egg fu young and I hate to say this but it was the worst I’ve ever had. The “gravy” was very watery and tasted like a mix of soy sauce and teriyaki. Usually egg fu young comes with a thicker rich tasting gravy. For the price it was a small amount. I also ordered garlic chicken, the person who ate it said it was good but once sgain a very small portion. The portion sizes were fine for lunch but the lunch price was definitely too high for the portion. Any time I’ve ordered take out Chinese food it’s blazing hot temperature wise but this was simply warm. Very disappointed and will never return.

david was amazing. super respectful super kind. he had a great vibe! food was 10/10 as well

I have been going to this restaurant for years. They have the best hot and sour soup in the Columbus area.

Never wanted to go in cause the outside isn't that appealing but the food is very very good an there are good portions, Nice staff as well.
Prices have increased in the last couple years, enough to where it's caused me to not go as frequent but I still recommend them for the good an fast food you get.

All.i got ro said for the price is the worst Chinese feed I have had in reynoldsburg only reson we order was because our favorite spot was close but never again we got Chinese with broccoli and had no flavor and all was water. And the fried rice was tasteless

What can I say I love this place The owners are awesome they get my order right every single time My favorite dish is the pork katsudan

My chicken that came with my order was dry as a piece of wood. Wood and Warsaw guy don’t mix. Almost seems like my chicken had been laying under a lamp for a while and dried out.
