A Great Meal with Stellar Service!
We thoroughly enjoyed our meal here. The stuffed green peppers were savory and tender, definitely a highlight. We also ordered a mix of dumplings/potstickers which were perfectly crispy and delicious, and the sesame balls were a fantastic sweet treat to round things out.
The main event, the lobster, was visually stunning and cooked very well!
However, what truly elevated the experience was our server, Faith. She was attentive, helpful, and made sure we had everything we needed with a great attitude. Excellent service like that is hard to beat!
We’d definitely come back, especially if Faith is working!
Thank you guys for the amazing food and dining experience. We cannot wait to come back!

One of the few Chinese spots in town where you can dine in and bring the family! The food was delicious, and we all enjoyed our plates. The portions were pretty generous and we left full but wanting more. The staff was also super friendly and our server made us feel welcomed. Overall one of the best Chinese restaurants in Jax.

We’ve been dining here on and off for the past 15 years. While the place may look a bit rundown, the food has always been consistently good. We’ve tried a variety of dishes over the years which include egg foo young, ribs, chicken wings, lo mein, dim sum, pepper steak, General Tso’s chicken—just to name a few. Prices are reasonable, and the service is always excellent.

Absolutely loved our experience here! The food was delicious and came out hot and fresh, but what really made the night was our server, Faith. She was so kind, attentive, and genuinely made us feel welcome from the moment we sat down. She checked on us often without being overbearing and made great recommendations. You can tell she truly cares about her customers. We’ll definitely be back! The service combined with the quality of the food made this a place we’ll definitely be returning to, and we’ll be recommending it to friends and family. If you’re dining here, I highly recommend asking for Faith, she truly made our night memorable. Wishing this restaurant lots of success with its opening!

Red Lantern is officially my new go-to Chinese restaurant. Everything we ordered was fresh, hot, and absolutely delicious. The orange chicken was crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and coated in the perfect balance of sweet and tangy sauce. Every bite had so much flavor without being greasy or heavy.
The fried rice was seasoned just right and tasted freshly made, not bland or dried out like some places serve. You can tell they actually care about quality. The dumplings were pan-fried beautifully with a golden crust and juicy filling, and the egg rolls were crunchy, flavorful, and not overly oily.
What really makes this place special, though, is the owner. They are incredibly kind, welcoming, and friendly, which made the whole experience feel warm and personal. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and their food.
The portions were generous, the food came out hot and fast, and everything tasted like it was made with care, not rushed or thrown together. If you are craving real, comforting Chinese food that hits the spot, Red Lantern is absolutely worth the visit. I will definitely be back.
Highly recommend ✨

I was looking for top rated Chinese food near me. This place was close by and had good ratings. The prices and portions are very good. There were a few people dining in and a few people working. Seems like a mom and pop place/ family business. Just after walking in two separate people had greeted me and asked if I needed any help. I told them I was there to look at the menu and make a to-go order. They did a great job continuing to serve guests, put together to-go orders, answer phones, and help me. It maybe took my food about 10 or 12 minutes to be ready. I ordered one of their dinner combos and added the soup and an egg roll. It will probably be three or four full meals for me. I will definitely be going there again.

Great food and wonderful service! Our waitress, Faith, was amazing. We went in to go eat and they were out of the bao buns that our son wanted so badly. So she promised us that she’d go out the next day and grab some just for him. She delivered on her promise and we had a fantastic meal the next day, it definitely made our son’s day. Afterwards our car battery died in the parking lot during some extreme cold and she went out of her way to check on us and provide us some hot tea while we waited for someone to come out and jump start us. Like I said, great food and great service!

Very disappointed in the food. Chow Fun noodles were gummy and overcooked. Noodles should have a little bite to it and not stick to each other. Beef Kung Pau had no flavoring. Beef was tasty but there was not enough spices used. The sweet & sour pork was good. Our server was very good however. She was very accommodating and attentive.
