Lantern is a solid spot for Thai food in Brooklyn Heights. From a Thai person, while the dishes aren’t 100% authentic compared to traditional Thai flavors, the food is still very tasty, fresh, and well-prepared. The curries are flavorful, the noodles are satisfying, and the portions are generous. The modern atmosphere and friendly service make it a great neighborhood go-to when you’re craving Thai. Not the most traditional, but definitely enjoyable!

This was a quick pick since I was in the area and my friend wanted Thai. He had been here before. The mango salmon was amazing, cooked perfectly. The mango salsa wasn’t too sweet which is good. He had BBQ chicken with the pineapple fried rice. The portions are perfect for the price points and location. The shocker was we were able to park on Montague Street!!

The staff is so friendly. It’s good vibes here. My friends love the food. I am limited because of my dietary restrictions so I only get to order the coconut soup which is really good. Oh the fried mushrooms could have been seasoned more; better eaten with the sauce. I wasn’t crazy about the shredded papaya salad.

Cute spot for date night, love the setup and the food. We loved their Pineapple fried Rice, the Potstickers, the Pineapple Roasted Duck and sticky rice mango for dessert
They have a Weekday happy hour from 4 – 6 pm with 50% off special cocktail drinks, beers and wine they we took advantage of

Unfortunately, Lantern was a miss for me. The food was bad. Like zero stars bad. There was no flavor at all. I ordered the spring rolls (you get 3 cut in half) and the pad thai with tofu. Since it was my first time there I thought to go with something classic. The spring roll ends were burned and you could taste the frying oil that had been used a million times before! The pad thai was also bad. It was a lump of rice noodles stuck together with tofu thrown on top. The tofu was cold, watery and soggy. The worst I have ever tasted! To top it all off, the whole meal was too expensive for what it was. The leftovers, basically the whole meal is still sitting in my fridge, which reminds me I need to throw everything away.
The service was nice and friendly.

Very cozy atmosphere with the dim-lit interior. The Volcano chicken and Thai fried rice is a must try item. Also make sure to grab the coconut water, you won’t regret it. If the weather is nice, be sure to grab the outdoor seatings. Street parking is available for those who drive.

Serves excellent, fresh & local thai dishes in Brooklyn Heights neighborhood. The decor & ambiance is very nice, perfect for date nights or girls night out. They serve traditional thai dishes and although mostly everything tasted very good & flavorul, some of our favorites are the appetizer sampler, pineapple roasted duck & avocado rolls. They also serve amazing cocktails! Also love the friendly staff.

Just found my new go-to spot in Brooklyn Heights! Lantern Thai Kitchen has been around for almost 20 years, and now I see why. The food is fresh, tasty, and doesn’t break the bank.
We ordered the appetizer platter (a ton of delicious bites to try!), plus pineapple fried rice , noodles, and everything was just chef’s kiss! ✨ The vibe inside is also super chill and cute and a modern look.
If you’re in the neighborhood, definitely swing by and give it a try. You won’t regret it!

I opted for a the hearty vegetable Gravy Noodles. Presentation was fine, vegetables were fresh, gravy was fine. The flavors were very pleasant but also very subtle, the dish functioned as expected with a few nice surprises. I did not want anything spicy at all that evening, (long day,running, still needed to work) and this dish delivered that. My wife said her shrimp dish was functional but would have preferred more spice. I get the strong sense the establishment is focused far more on Americanized Thai food. This is fine, but good to know. The spring rolls were over cooked and the sauce tasted like it was from packets. Staff was attentive and nice.
