    Green Braised String Beans

    Walked in in a Saturday night at 6pm and were seated right away. There was only one other table and couple of take out orders while we were there. The exterior is a bit sketchy as many of the shops near by are closed down , but the interior is pretty large and has a bunch of nice booths. Skip the hot and sour soup. It was bland. Highly recommend the orange chicken and also the eggplant dish. This place deep fries their eggplant before tossing it in a sauce. This gave it an amazing texture. I just wish it had a more flavorful or spicy sauce. White rice came with the entrees. Service was good, plenty of parking, and had the World Cup games in 2 big screens.

    2 stars for good food. But less stars because they never answer their phones. We wanted to clarify our order and called 9 times continuously but after you get your order expect them to NOT ANSWER any more calls from your number. I had to come in person again just to ask about our order. Don't get me wrong their food is good but they need to work on their communication a lot better. I want to say expect when you call this number they will not answer it once you order and pick up your food. They never answered my calls to clarify our order. I had to drive back from home just to clarify why we were missing something. When I came to the restaurant 3 staffs were just sitting on the table, there was no one dining in so can't say they were busy.

    We are in town visiting Azusa Pacific University, after a walk around campus we found Red Lantern Chinese Cuisine and decided to celebrate the possibility of moving to APU (plus an early celebration since tomorrow is my birthday) The restaurant is small, but large enough for plenty seating in a confortable setting. The staff: Very friendly and welcoming; everyone was kind and respectful. The food: Very tasty, fresh, plentiful. (We are staying at a near by hotel so we only order 2?items plus a soup because we didn't want to waste food by not having a place to store the leftovers) But, if things go as we hope at APU, this restaurant will become a place we plan to visit often once the transition is decided to move to APU.

    Came here for a classic comfort meal--orange chicken, fried rice, and veggie egg rolls. It's not the best I've had, but definitely not the worst either. The food was flavorful and satisfying, nothing mind-blowing but solid for the area. The place seemed busy with locals, which is always a good sign. Portions were generous, the orange chicken had that familiar sweet-savory crunch, and the fried rice hit the spot. Overall, it's a decent neighborhood go-to if you're nearby--reliable, casual, and easy--but not something I'd go out of my way to come back for.

    Amazing staff held our birthday cake and were kind enough to chill some champagne for us.

    Years ago we would come here and it was always decent. Shortly after COVID, something about the food changed and unfortunately we just weren't fans of the changes to the menu. Recently, I have to say we came back and we are so glad we did. There must be a new cook or something because we have yet to have a bad meal. Combination chow mein is the star for our family. Combo fried rice is also a staple for us. I would 100% reccomend the garlic chicken and the Mongolian beef. Sweet and sour pork and sweet and sour chicken is phenomenal. But enough about the food. The staff. Everyone who has served us has been such a joy. 2 nights ago we had a birthday party for my sister and they were so accommodating for our large group. If you have not been to Red Lantern recently you haven't been to Red Lantern.

    A friend wanted to try this place out and it's closer to home so we went. They have variety of lunch specials until 3pm. Comes with egg flower or hot and sour soup with an egg roil served with white or fried rice. We ordered mushroom chicken and Mongolian beef. Both dishes were tasty. The Mongolian beef was done right, with sliced yellow onion and green onion! A bit skimpy on the green onion but the taste was just right. The mushrooms chicken was also great with plenty of chopped garlic and the chicken breast pieces were tender. Service was quick and the records are just your ordinary place to dine. Got my fix in.

    Shrimp Fried Rice

    Was craving Chinese food and saw this place. We called in and ordered for take out during lunch time. The place had one occupied table when we arrived and it's look just like a typical Asian restaurant with plenty booths and tables. We got orange chicken, fish with black bean sauce and shrimp fried rice. The lunch special set comes with your choice of white rice, brown or egg fried rice and a fried egg roll. All the dishes tasted very good, the orange chicken was tender and had plenty of sauce. The black bean fish had a perfect amount of sauce, not too salty! The portion they give was way more than enough for one person especially the shrimp fried rice... the container was full to the rim! I would recommend this place for anyone craving Chinese food!

    Unlimited soup and bean sprouts

    I came with a couple of girlfriends to the Red Lantern for dinner, there is both a serve-it-yourself bar in another room behind the entrance room for their unlimited soup and condiments, and there is a nice wait staff that serves you whatever dishes that you have ordered from the menu. There is plenty of parking in a public lot behind the restaurant. The food tastes great, the price is reasonable, and there is space to bring a group of friends located in a second room behind the first entrance space. I liked the ultra manga-like decor on the wall. I would come here again and bring my family next time for a meal!

    This was my first time here, and I had a great experience. The interior was nice, the customer service was excellent, and the food came out quickly. Be sure to ask for the homemade chili oil, it's definitely worth it. We ordered the salt and pepper fish, which was delicious and perfectly crispy, and the combination fried rice, which came in generous portions and tasted great. I'll definitely be coming back!

While this often signals unwelcome adjustment for patrons accustomed to the manner in which an established restaurant's dishes are prepared, changes in recipes and/or ingredients being used, or just a plain old difference in overall taste or presentation, I'm happy to observe that, as a customer for decades, this wonderful little gem of a restaurant has maintained the key characteristics - both in food quality and service - that made our family fans so long ago. There have been some recent additions to the menu, in both dish selection and beverage variety, which actually align the restaurant better with contemporary tastes and dining trends. Traditionalists need not fear, however, as the old menu standards still remain and are as good as ever. (In fact, I didn't realize there had actually been a change in ownership until I directly asked our server after not seeing some of the usual staff over the last couple of visits; otherwise, I wouldn't have known.) In terms of ambiance, new booths were recently added (and are more comfortable), but the overall decor remains basically the same. Similarly, the service continues to be on point with dishes prepared upon order and delivered quickly, drinks refilled/refreshed regularly, and vacated tables cleared and cleaned in a timely manner. In summation, the Chopsticks House is as good as ever - and with a recently expanded menu, too. Portions are extremely generous, and they do not skimp on the proteins or quality of ingredients. Additionally, the popular lunch specials remain and continue to be a great value for early afternoon diners.

A pretty spacious place with lots of parking. Lots of tables inside with a private room in the back that held about 8 tables or so. The food let's see, let's break it down: Sweet & sour fish - 8/10 nice flavor, wish the fish was a little crispier Shaken beef - 8/10 nice flavor, tender sautee string beans - 8/10 decent salt & pepper squid - 1/10 - no flavor, batter was a little weird crispy chow mein - 1/10 - no flavor honey walnut shrimp - 6/10 not bad but also i've had way better Overall, I think its a decent place for what it is & where it is. Obviously if you go into the San Gabriel area there are way better places. BUT for being in Covina & I think the pricing was decent, it was cool. Service was okay, men only staff apparently. They were attentive, pretty funny too

After we started to skim the menu, I noticed that most of the menu items did not have pricing information clearly displayed. Since we were a large party, we decided to order the dinner package. At least that had a pricing displayed. Once the food arrived, it was extremely bland. Not only that but this was the most I've paid for mid-tier Chinese food in a while. Since when did Chinese food get so pricey? Pan fried noodles were ok, walnut shrimp was good, pork chops were decent but everything else was mid! Oh and those sodas are about $7,xx bux each so stick to hot tea. Also, they wrote in a suggested tip amount and underlined 16% but probably charged the 18%. It's also calculated after tax. It's supposed to be calculated based on pre-tax. I didn't want to fuss over the bill while the server stood over me. This will probably be the last time I step foot in this place. Not worth the price point at all.
