My family decided to eat here one night. We placed 1 order for 3 people. My husband and I got the same thing, 1 item plate, with orange chicken and chow mein. We ordered my toddler (3yrs old) a bowl with orange chicken and half fried rice & chow mein. We also had a side of rangoons. The orange chicken had lots of flavor and everything was served in large portions. My husband and I could've probably shared our plates and my daughter had lots left over. The rangoons were good, nothing special. My daughter liked them a lot too. Next time we'll probably only order 2 plates and share amongst the 3 of us since the portions are so large. My husband noticed that the cook came out of the back to change food trays. He took the tray of beef and broccoli that may have been sitting out a while and replaced it with a new tray. I assume this was to swap the old tray for a fresh one? Not sure but I assume (and would hope) so. They all seemed helpful and focused on orders. It wasn't extremely busy, so we got our food quickly and headed home. [[HIGHLIGHT]]To compare with other restaurants in the area, this was a better choice. More bang for your buck, it's clean and seems to have fresh food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Nice and fast chinese food. Food was delicious and only cost $13 total, for a hefty serving with big portion sizes. Definitely give this place a try! read more

FOOD: orange chicken- A+. Mongolian Beef- B+. The orange chicken had large pieces of chicken without too much breading. The sauce was very good. The Mongolian beef was tender, but there were too many onions. SERVICE: I ordered the food via a food delivery service. The food was packaged nicely with plenty of condiments, utensils and fortune cookies. read more

Great food portions! Great flavor. The lady behind the counter was so friendly and nice! The only thing was the food was only lighly warm bordering on room temperature. I can reheat it once home but I did eat it there but left with a lot of left overs as they give big portions. The cream cheese wonton were also very good and the house made sauce was delicious read more

This is my go-to late night Chinese takeout spot, and my order is always the same: sweet & hot pepper wings, hot & sour soup, orange beef, and shrimp fried rice. The portions are so generous, and they do not skimp! And even when delivered, it comes piping hot! This meal always hits the spot for me. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The other location at anaheim plaza is nicer and more accommodating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I went in there cause it's a little closer to my house but not worth it. Wouldn't let me order my food together, just gave me a big side of tofu. instead of a combo. The lady was rude, and wouldn't let me speak. Just pushed me to pay. I paid cause I ordered but I recommend the other location. I don't write negative reviews cause I can usually let the person know there and then. Not trying to put a place out of business but hopefully you can look in the mirror and adjust your attitude, thank you. read more

Hit the spot!! I was craving some tofu and decided to order from Lantern Garden. I ordered the country style tofu, and a couple other meals for the week. I got the shrimp fried rice, country style tofu, and kung pao shrimp. I skipped the appetizers and just went with entrees. The country style tofu was good. I love the firm tofu! Yummy. I enjoyed the shrimp fried rice too. That was really good and the shrimps in that were cooked perfectly. The kung pao shrimp definitely had some heat to it, but it was still good. Overall, all 4 of the entrees I ordered came out good. I love that they have a happy hour special on door dash! read more

I was craving chow mein and orange chicken and wanted to try something different than the chain restaurants. Unfortunately Lantern Garden fell short of my expectations for the quality of their food. Their chow mein noodles were oily and didn't have a ton of veggies in them. The chicken, both orange and mushroom, had several gnarly pieces that made you question whether or not to continue eating them.. overall was not for me. Pros: portion size and friendliness of the staff read more

Lantern Garden - Downtown - Chinese Near Me - Anaheim, California

I could have sworn I already did a review of this place, since I am such a huge fan. The food here is delicious. The broccoli beef is some of the best I've had. I also love the orange chicken and green bean chicken. The fried rice is tasty and also the chow mein. The egg rolls are fresh and crunchy. The won ton soup is also great. Service is always wonderful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is simple and casual.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are a few tables, but it's more of a take out spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] One box of food can feed two people or be 2 meals. read more

Food here is delicious (usual fare plus a few other variables) and a great bargain. For those of you on a pre-holiday health kick (like yours truly), you can get steamed veggies as a side dish for an additional charge instead of rice/noodles, which I've also had and believe me when I tell you, it's top notch! Staff here is very welcoming and friendly and portions are generous. These mom & pop Chinese food-to-go places are plentiful here in OC, but honestly, this is the BEST I've had in Anaheim. The taste and texture of the food is not that of "been sitting under the warmer all day". The food more than does the job, especially being so reasonably priced. I was informed by management/owner that they will be adding a Mongolian BBQ station within a week and now I'm REALLY looking forward to returning! This place seems to be popular enough already with the majority of the patrons getting take out, I can only imagine once they finish remodeling! Place is pretty quiet with the exception of some Kiss FM like music playing softly and the cooking-yummy-food sounds and aromas coming from the kitchen. Anyone craving quick serve Chinese should definitely come try this place out! read more

Ordered from uber eats and wow, it absolutely hit the spot. Great prices, great portion, absolutely delicious taste. I got the house special chow mein and it was loaded with protein, I also got the orange chicken and it was coated with this great sauce. For the orange chicken there was also an option for white or dark meat, as someone who prefers white meat I thought that option was very cool and personalized. They have this spicy sauce that seems to be like a Thai chili sauce which was great with the noodles. Can't wait to order from here again and I did see on the ubereats app they had some buy 1 get 1 deals so deff look into that if you're picking up or getting delivered. Super quick service too, got my order to my place in 20 min. read more

They sold me spoiled shrimp. Luckily I realized it tasted funny and didn't consume them. Haven't been back since. Also they keep food out for hours under those heat trays not safe either! read more

Found my old spot. Right by my office, they have everything you need, orange chicken, sesame chicken, almond chicken, tofu to order. The workers constantly check the trays for freshness and make new stuff. You don't see anything you like, tell them to make it for you. I'll be here every week. read more

my last time at this place and the other location. i used to visit here once a month but not anymore. i was picking up food for two co workers and ordered the bowl for both peeps. staff quoted me $1 more for a bowl w two meat then when i got to the register i was told it would be $1 more than the two entree price. really? for no rice or noodles? doesn't make sense. i didn't know why i was quoted something a sec ago and now it's different. I wont' go back there. read more

Relatively cheap for the area, the staff is nice and the portions are massive for what you pay! Really good authentic food as well. Unfortunately there are no free refills but that doesn't take away from the experience read more

They were very generous with the servings. Their noodles was al dente, which was good versus other place having soggy overcooked noodles. I really enjoyed their fried rice which had lots of flavor! I deducted one star because they wasn't a proper line and there was a table (vacant) right by the food display. It was in the way when I'm trying to see the food and trying to tell them my order. We took our food-to go. read more

Ok back to 5 stars again! They might have been going through some growing pains for awhile, but they've stepped it back up and are my favourite spot again! Food is excellent again and the lady who works there is super nice! I'm glad they're doing well again and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the place is spotless, always clean and well lit![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

First of all, the person serving me was very unfriendly and kept rushing me. The combo was a very generous serving! One of my choices was green bean chicken the green beans were a little old and mushy, also not very flavorful. Chow mein and rice were all right. I also had teriyaki chicken, which was very unflavorful. read more

My go-to delivery Chinese restaurant, this place never disappoints. Food arrives hot, with good portion sizes, and is always good. Get the egg rolls and chow mein! Hot tip: We've ordered with the extra protein add-on and it comes with loads more protein, so obviously that's a plus. read more

Watch the price on the screen and the price on your receipt cuz they charge more on receipt but they say it's credit card but it's not. If pay by credit card they have to have a sign to show extra fee per California law. So watch before u pay Just b honest on what u charge n what's is advertised Lantern Garden Downtown. read more

Great food! Wait time can be long at times but well worth it. Try to order off the menu, the food is made to order instead of the combo meals read more

Is all right and the orange chicken is not good do not try orange chicken and grilled chicken is good

All of the dishes are good but I especially enjoy the chicken wings and ice tea drinks here, way better than big chain places; you get more wings and the sauce is freshly made for you! Do yourself a favor and go for all 3 flavors - sweet & hot braised pepper wings, soy garlic wings, and sweet szechuan wings are definitely the way to go! Honey green milk tea with boba is always welcomed when I get wings here to refresh my palette :) read more

The food here is decent, on par with Panda Express if slightly better or worse depending on the time you visit. The best time to come is lunch when the food is fresh compared to middle of the afternoon when the food is not as fresh. Service here is super friendly. The lady behind the counter is like sunshine. They have contactless payment available which I appreciate during these times. read more

Yikes. Ordered the Teriyaki Chicken. Got home. SPOIILED. Had another person try it and confirmed. Chicken should not be sour. Was hungry and had Lantern before so I went back and told them that the item was spoiled. Girl at the front acted like it has happened before. No apology just an offer to replace the item. YIKES. does this happen often? Seemed so casual about it. If I ran a restaurant and I served food that was spoiled I would be freaking out. Brought home replacement and didn't bother. Too scared that I might be eating spoiled food. What a waste of $15........ will try somewhere else next time..... read more

Typical family style Chinese restaurant. Good prices. Lots of food. Not very welcoming ambiance but mainly to go. Counter service.

First time here. Definitely coming back. Great food Prices And big portions . Friendly staff read more

Big surprise from a small location! Have picked up food twice now from the Anaheim location! Your orange chicken was really good! The way it's prepared is not as heavy as other fast food locations. Your house special fried rice is phenomenal! Also tried the honey walnut shrimp which was really tasty and the servings are generous an always hot! The only down side is the time between an online order and ready to pick up was 45 min. Be patient for great food! read more

They serving size is huge. It was hit and flavorful. We've gone here both times we were in the area and wanted fried rice. I would recommend the bbq pork fried rice and the shrimp fried rice. Don't be deterred by it being in a strip mall. read more

I really enjoy their food but I wish they would bring back bourbon chicken.... Or at least the sauce. Although I love their other options, there were times when I would arrived just for bourbon chicken. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The service reflects the environment, very nice and clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more
