Reviews for Ting's Red Lantern in Cedar Rapids, IA

Amazing, family friendly, helpful, knowledgeable staff Great food!! Fresh and hand prepared Love going to Red Lantern!

Still the same place & great food..!! I unfortunately arrived @ 1:30 a 1/2 hrs before closing mid-day. Lunch choices still the... same except now get either an egg roll or crab rangoon instead of both. The taste of their Hot & Sour soup is still a favoriteof mine. Simple & good flavor. Don't know if it is my memory or actually had been skimmed down but seemed to be less to myAlmond Chicken than I remember. Still have "home made" Hot Mustard.! Though also not as hot as memory since didn't need to becut down with sweet & sour sauce. Different management..? Or..? Not around area enough to find out any more. The waitress seemedbusy ~~ though only 3 other tables ~~ all had their food & 2 were done just talking. She did come back 2x to check on me & themeal.! Which was nice. Will keep coming when back in the area & craving..!! Many many great choices & have had before & not beendisappointed in the 12 years we have eaten at or from this Restaurant..!! Read more

No go for us. Got sweet and sour chicken and orange chicken. Both were not good at all. $50 down the drain. Bummer! Will not go... again. Read more

We ordered takeout and received it fairly quickly but after paying over $15 in delivery fees we expected it to be hot and tasty... but got the opposite. The chicken wings & fried shrimp tasted like they were cooked days ago they were so dried out & cold. The meals themselves were mediocre and flavorless. Save your money because $59 was a lot for gross takeout Read more

I have been going to tings for years!! Started when I lived across the street and have eaten there for hundreds of meals. Over... the years there has been a constant trend of less for more. I use to get separate meals for my wife and I. Then we had to startsharing. Then our kids meal use to get fried rice. Then that became 6 dollars more.. it has become 1 meal and a kids meal forwell over 30 dollars.. so that’s price. The next is consistency. Every time I eat there I don’t know if it’s going to bea good, great or, gross meal. It has not hit the point in price that I don’t even want to go because I don’t want to spendthat kind of money on sub par food. Read more

???????????????????????????????????????? I absolutely love the food here. But the real reason I love it.... is because of the... people ???????????????? I used to think they were kinda, well, almost on the rude side of things... until I decided to open mymouth and talk to them. Turns out, they are awesome as heck, and couldn't be any nicer. ???????????????????????? Read more

Service is good, food is not. We’ve had takeout 3 times. First time was good, second time was ok, this last time was... terrible. The orange chicken has absolutely no flavor. The sesame chicken was a little better. However in both cases thechicken was tough and completely dried out. Fried rice also had no flavor. We want to like this place for lack of betteroptions in the Marion area, but there needs to be some improvement in the recipes and quality of ingredients before we’ll goback. Read more

For the prices, I'd say it's average. Moo goo is better than some restaurants in town though. I like tender meat and for most... vegetables to be cooked when I have Chinese food. $5 upcharge for fried rice seems extreme. They currently do not offer dinein. Read more
