The food is wonderful here. Place is always clean and good service. I would definitely recommend this place if you love Asian food.

Cute Fusion Asian place that tucked in the end or beginning of the plaza strip. Plenty of parking, very modern, contemporary decor inside with warm vibe. They do have mochi donuts here too. The place is clean, spacious and well layout. The menu is nice and plenty of Asian dishes, from Thai to Singapore to Vietnam to Chinese and so forth. Service is nice and attentive. Dishes came out quite fast. I am abit bias here since I'm Asian and I live in SoCal where all the Asian lives. So with that say, my dish is Vnese and nothing came close (yes I kept in mind of the fusion part) from taste to presentation l. Given that this is Yelm, therefore not much of expectation but they do have most of the dish's elements. And this apply to all dishes. It's not bad at all, my friend likes it a lot and this is her favorite place with her favorite dish of Singapore noodles...which I don't recalled that the noodle is that wet. The favor is there but it's wet, too wet in my POV. The mochi is nice and soft and chewy like and flavorful. Overall not bad, very water-fusion for my taste. Good service and nice place for sure. read more

Trying out another restaurant in our town because we always hear good things about it. We got the egg rolls to start, Mongolian beef with a side of rice and chicken chow mein. The food honestly was a bit underwhelming. The chow mein noodles looked and almost tasted like spaghetti, they weren't the normal type of chow mein noodles. The Mongolian beef had good flavor but there wasn't enough beef to vegetable ratio. For the cost of the food, we were hoping for it to be a bit better. The service was great and attentive to our needs. The overall ambiance was okay, it seems like they don't use half the restaurant for storage so the space is a tad small. The best part of the meal was the donuts for the donut shop they run out of the same building. We tried cookies and cream, Nutella and birthday cake mochi donuts. We'd definitely be back for donuts but we're not sure about the food. read more

Red lantern never disappoints. 7 flavor beef is a consistent favorite, as well as their pad Thai! I've actually never tried food from here that wasn't delicious. The heavenly beef and sweet and sour pork/chicken are both excellent choices. Their service is always good, even if it gets a bit busy they never forget your order. The ambiance for dine in is classy, you almost forget you're in Yelm. read more

Maybe better in house, pick ed up to go order first time trying. Put it this way the rice was okay and potstickers are potstickers. Heavenly beef wasn't,Singapore noodles well not again. Just thought we try it oh well. read more

I ordered takeout 26B Singapore noodles and 4 egg rolls. Everything was tasty. Egg rolls were fresh and not greasy. Noodles were not overly spicy. I ordered spicy. It was just right. The order came out quickly too. Great service. read more

This place is really good! My wife, grandson and I stopped by here on a Thursday night. The service is excellent and the food comes out fast. It was the best Pad Thai I've ever had. And the white sticky rice is perfect. Big servings. I love it when the food comes out piping hot. The beef was not really spiced up but the chicken and pork were great. The coconut curry was delicious. Very clean. Reasonably priced. Lots of smiles on the waitresses. Again, the food was very fresh. Go here. read more

We hadn't been back here in over 6 years (due to a military move), so now that we moved back we had to try this place again. THEY NOW HAVE PHO!!! So we HAD to try it. The pho restaurant in Yelm was our go to for pho 6 years ago but since moving back, we heard the original owners moved and it shows. I'm so happy to have another Pho alternative near by. The broth was so rich and flavorful and the meat was very tender! I'm hoping they'll keep this on their menu, it said limited time special so idk if they'll stop eventually but I sure hope not! The coconut shrimp were tasty as well. I had the beef pad se ew and it was just okay, I probably wouldn't get it again since it lacked on flavor and the texture wasn't what it's supposed to be. (We have had plenty of this same dish at other places) We also had the Thai iced coffee and that was very good! The place is clean and somewhat elegant. The service was great. I say definitely come here for the pho! Overall I give it a 4.5/5 read more

Been going there for a few years and have always had great food and great service. We will continue to support them. It is hard to find a restaurant that is consistent with how their food is made each time we go there. Well done. read more

Out Harley riding and Yelm was where i found myself hungry. I have been here long ago and liked it. I ordered the best EVA fresh pork shrimp salad rolls and the best EVA peanut sauce. Main course was pork yellow curry. And this was their one flaw. The curry was great .....but. I ordered it 4 spicy level. Disappointedly it was a weak 2 spicy. Nice clean interior. I will return. read more

Great food, ambiance and service. Server was very patient Lucy was amazing, attentive and very patient with her customers despite being very busy. The spice was right not too much and not too little.

Red Lantern Asian Fusion - So good nothing is left lol they even have coconut shrimp. We had pineapple curry & teriyaki beef. Plus taro and Thai tea boba. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Yelm, Washington

First time here today. Mad I haven't been before now! Great, fast, friendly service(server has been there 6 years) Food was fast and delicious. Clean.Prices aren't anything out of the ordinary for a sit down restaurant. Gyoza/potstickers were crispy with yummy sauce. Chicken Satay and peanut sauce was good. I had Larb- SO GOOD. Thai iced tea was great too. We will be back! This will be in our rotation during the school year for a to go easy meal. Can't wait to try the mochi donuts! read more

Summed up in one word:flavorful. We came because we wanted Chinese and this is as close as it gets in this area but it was a great call to try it. There's lots of options from Thai to Vietnamese to Chinese and almost all have a vegetarian option. We started with their version of a tofu eggroll which was perfectly crispy and unexpectedly full of flavor (eggrolls for me are usually pretty bland but wowza!). I had tofu Singapore noodles and my friend ordered mi quang and both of us were absolutely delighted with all of it. Everything tasted in layers, the Singapore noodles were pleasantly spiced then sweet then salty. As is usual for me also, I ate until I was full and felt I had barely made a dent in my dish so portion sizes are pretty good too. Ambiance was good, everything was very clean and the plants were a nice touch. It isn't cheap, but not outrageous either. Service was really good, tea was hot and the food an unexpected culinary bliss. read more

I wanted so much to be like this place, especially since the other Thai restaurant in town closed. A few weeks ago we got a to go order. Part of that was pork spring rolls. Not only were they so poorly wrapped that they fell apart, but it contained almost no pork. Basically just a salad in a rice wrapper. Figured that might have just been an off night, so we tried them again. Got the pineapple curry. For something with the word pineapple in the name, it had only 2 tidbits in the whole thing. Ok, that could be forgiven. Except for what I can only imagine what was coffee grounds in the curry! I'm seriously worried about their attention to detail, and also food safety. Just spend the time to go somewhere in Lacey instead. read more

Wow fantastic Asian restaurant in Yelm!! We reaaly enjoyed dinner. I had Seafood delight. My wife had MI Quang. Both meals are huge portions full of delicious flavor. Waitor was very professional and friendly. Everything about this great restaurant was perfect. We have a new favorite spot to eat!! read more

The food wasn't tasteful at all, very bland. The egg rolls were super thin and unraveling. The crab rangoons had close to no filling. The chicken wings were the best part of this meal but the breading was soggy, however, they were the exception as the sauce was tasty. The pad Thai wasn't that good either but edible. The chow mein was super bland, do not recommend! Save your money and go elsewhere. The prices are super expensive and I normally wouldn't mind if the food was at least good but that wasn't the case. read more

We ended up in Yelm because we needed an item from Harbor Freight that was only available at this location. Yelp reviews brought us to Red Lantern and, wow, what a surprise! Everything was delicious and the presentation of the Fuji Apple Sake was delightful. Next time you need to drive all the way to Yelm to pick up a log splitter from Harbor Freight, I highly recommend you try Red Lantern :) read more

Great asian restaurant - been going there since it opened. Especially like the Honey Walnut Prawns but everything I've tried there is great - one exception - not a fan of their Pad Thai. Owner is the nicest person you'll meet and staff is friendly. Kitchen is very fast and good quality is consistent. One of my favorite spots in Yelm. read more

Decided to go eat dinner by myself tonight. The guys were in Puyallup and I found myself in Yelm, by home. Ive bought food from here before, but to go, not dine in. So I figured out why not. I was greeted by a nice guy and was offered to sit anywhere of my choosing by a nice lady. The place is clean, and only some tables were finished with plates, napkin, and fork. After I looked over the menu I decided to try their grilled shrimp (appetizer: 8/10 I wish they changed the named to grilled shrimp peanut salad, because lets face it, it was a salad, with grilled prawns, and peanut sauce not bad) so far off to a good start. I also asked for a thai iced tea which wasnt served in a glass since I was dining in, but in a to go boba container which put me off a little but you cant go wrong with thai iced tea, but maybe serve it in a glass for customers who choose to dine in 6/10. For my main dishes I asked for the Red Lantern Chicken (9/10 cooked well, over a few steamed veggies in a peanut sauce with white rice that was served in a sushi rice bowl, which also threw me off. It's white rice, just serve it in a metal or white small bowl. ) and Pineapple curry 5/10 with pork and the meat was over cooked or not cooked enough so it could've been tender to chew. Sercive was pleasant and both persons were nice to me. Might try them again, but as for now just a 3 star because of the food. The employees were sweet. read more

We ordered Yang Chow fried rice and the Honey Walnut prawns which were recommended by a customer that eats here at least once a week.

Got fresh spring rolls and didn't taste fresh. Also got fried dumplings which weren't that great. Nice decor inside but nothing too exciting. read more

Take out has gone down hill portions are less than if you were inside eating, why is that, less cleanup and not serving you? The food is very good when inside but not as meaty on take outs. read more

Cute restaurant and appeared very clean. Pleasantly surprised that the bathroom was quite clean and well decorated. The food was good. My mom thought the seafood delight with green curry was a little too sweet. The beef Pad See Ew was good - the noodles were the best part, tasted fresh although the beef could have been a little more tender. The portions are good and overall we were very satisfied with everything. read more

This is our second time trying this place. Last time we tried it was 2 years ago. We got food close to closing time for a big family get together, spent about $250. The food tasted so old like it had been sitting there all day, no one could eat it and we threw it all away. Tonight our go to restaurant Si Racha Thai was closed, so we went here. The crab Rangoon's were SO HARD and chewy, and no filling inside. Whatever was inside tasted like pesto mixed with cream cheese. The green curry was pure milk, absolutely no flavor, and the vegetables were so soggy it was like it was a week old. I called and let the manager know my feedback. She advised me all food is "made to order", and perhaps the Rangoon's were so hard because they sat in the togo container.(which is impossible, they only sat in there for 10 minutes top) She said no one else has ever gave her this feedback and I am the only one. There is a review from two months ago saying the same thing I did about the Rangoon's! Clearly they do not care about customer feedback, or wish to improve their food whatsoever. 2 years later and still tasted just as horrid as the first time we tried it. Luckily my dog got a meal out of this, and we ate some good home cooked food! Save your stomach, and save your money! read more

Ordered for takeout on a slow Friday night. Great service, friendly and no errors on my order. Ordered three dishes that were all bland and overall lacking flavor. My rule of thumb is if I can make it better at home then it's not worth returning (I won't be returning).. read more

We've been one time and we're pleased with the food and the service. We will go again sometime soon.

For the price the portions are laughable. The food tastes good, you just don't get what you pay for.

Good was a good variety compared to all the teriyaki places b it the price was way overpriced for what it was

This place is amazing! They have the best food and they have great service! I could literally eat here every day! My favorite dish is the Vietnamese Salad and also their spring rolls! My wife is hooked on their Almond Chicken and my kids always get the Sweet-and-Sour Chicken! read more

Dinner time on a Tuesday and the place had about 5 of the 12 tables full. We were quickly seated and our order taken timely. Our table had the Red Lantern Chicken, Thai Fried Rice, and Singapore Noodles. The Red Lantern Chicken was very tasty. I found myself wanting white rice to help sop up the goodness, which I ordered and it was perfect. Huge portion of chicken on perfectly cooked veggies. The Singapore Noodles were also a good portion size and we couldn't stop eating them if we tried. The rice was as good as any I've ever had. The only area for improvement is to get some beer on draft rather than everything in bottles, and bring our entire order. We ordered some appetizers that didn't come until we were done eating. I'd give 5 stars except for the mess up on the appetizers. Definitely a place to try out more menu options. read more
