Reviews for Lantern in Brooklyn, NY
Awesome thai place. Delicious food and great atmosphere! The tall hostess is absolutely beautiful and the wait staff are super... nice. I ordered the Nightingale Nest (Sauteed chicken and shrimp with cashews, pineapple, onions, peppers with garlic chilisauce, served in crispy noodle nest) and it was perfect. Huge shrimp and everything was properly cooked! Read more
Nice ambiance. You do get the Thai flavor ("non Americanized"), although the salad didn't taste fresh. The spicy basil fried... rice was delicious. Read more
Ooh, the "Drunken Noodles", just the right amount of heat. Savory and delicious. I had the lunch special, it came w/spring... rolls, so crispy & delicious. The presentation was lovely, but I was disappointed w/the mandarin mimosa. That was oj, notmandarin, there's a BIG difference in the two flavors. Read more
Pretty decent Thai place. Walked in on a whim and was seated immediately. I ate chicken satay and soup. My boyfriend had some... kind of eggplant and tofu with rice lunch special. I dig that they give lunch specials a free appetizer. I believe it?s onlyM-F. Either way the food was pretty good. My soup could?ve used a little more salt and flavor. The chicken satay was great. Myboyfriend said his meal was oily. But nonetheless, it tasted good. Service was good. Staff was super nice. Not sure if I?dreturn tho. I?d probably try something else? Read more
Overall a good experience because the food was great. We made a reservation which due to walk ins we ended having to wait longer... then we wanted. However, the staff acknowledged it and made up for it. The drinks and food were great. Short walk to theBrooklyn promenade so that was a nice activity after eating. Definitely a place I would go to again when I visit NY again Read more
Tasty food and a great atmosphere make Lantern a place you?ll want to keep coming back to. They have great lunch specials and a... lot of variety. I highly recommend the green curry or salmon & mango. Read more
Tasty dishes at Lantern with a nice atmosphere. We ate at Lantern on a Thursday evening and didn't have to book and were seated... straight away. We found the starters to be good portion sizes so one each for us was more than enough. The mains are a very goodsize and tasty too, we couldn't finish ours. We sampled the hot and the cold sake, although the hot doesn't stay hot forlong. Our server was very friendly and helpful and provided us everything we needed during our visit. Read more
I'm sorry but I'm not sure how this place got so high of a review. Several things: We got the fried calamari, green curry, and... shrimp pad thai. Everything was bland except for the pad thai, which was at least edible. The green curry was so watered downyou can barely taste anything while the calamari got saved by the sauce. What's astonishing is how expensive these were for thetaste (sure its Brooklyn but still doesn't justify the cost). Overall, very disappointing for the price and rating it has.People should try Thai food in Elmhurst - like heaven and earth. I know its far but I rather spend the difference in cost for anuber there ???? Wasn't planning on reviewing so I've eaten the food before taking pictures but then had the need to just say itout there after trying it out ???? Read more
