    Cream cheese wonton
    Jenn D.

    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

    2 item combo tofu and shrimp
    Britney M.

    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!

    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

    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.

    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

    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.

    The BEST Korean friend chicken I've had since moving to the OC! The chicken was crispy and so…read moreflavorful!! Ordered 3 flavors: spicy, sweet chili, soy garlic. Soy garlic was my favorite, it's an absolute must order, packed with flavor. They also have an AYCE pricing available as an option. Went on a Friday night around 9pm and thankfully it wasn't crazy busy at the time I went. Bulgogi tacos were really good, soft and moist! The soju paired so well with the chicken, zero sugar and very refreshing. Going to go searching for the soju in store now because I've never had this brand before & really loved it. The workers were so sweet. Highly recommended and will be returning for more delicious chicken!

    We came expecting an all-you-can-eat chicken wing experience, but they no longer have that in the…read morerestaurant. So expect the regular menu. There is a small lot out front for parking, and I suspect you can park on the street when the lot fills up. We happened to come by during the Korea vs. Mexico game, and understandably, the place gets packed, with a line forming outside. We somehow beat the rush by about 30 minutes and were seated at a table as soon as we entered. We also realized then that they didn't have the all-you-can-eat option, so we ended up ordering the chicken wings, their version of loaded fries, and steamed rice. We also placed the order via the QR code. We had our drinks delivered to our table shortly afterward. The food, however, was taking a long time to get to our table. It may have been a combination of the FIFA World Cup and a staff shortage, but when we were there, there was only 1 kitchen staff member and 1 wait staff member. The lady on the wait staff did everything from serving food to accepting new customers and topping off water for all the tables. A wall separates the restaurant; there is a front room and an inside room, and both rooms had televisions broadcasting the game. The food itself was decent for the price that they charge. The chicken wings came out piping hot, crispy on the outside, and juicy inside. They have some options for different wing flavors. The fries were also delicious and well-fried. I hope the restaurant invests in more wait staff because there were times we needed something from the wait staff. Seeing how busy she was, or sometimes she's just in the front room, we haven't seen her in a while to get whatever we needed. Overall, it was a good experience. The food was good, and the atmosphere is very unique; it's definitely a nice place to get some Korean street food when you're in the area. The only things to note are that parking is limited, food will take a while to cook as it is made fresh, and there will be some waiting to be done if you need wait staff. Last thing to note: I love that they had some Korean Fusion dishes, and I wish I had a bigger stomach to try these as well during our visit, perhaps another time!
