Good quality Thai food for average price. Good spot for dinner with a loved one or a friend.
Curries are exquisite served with whole peanuts and my friend loves her favorite pad Thai at this spot. 🙂
Came here for the $9 lunch special, and left satisfied. It's a very busy place but the food comes out rather quickly. Waitstaff is decent, but be vocal and get their attention, so you don't become forgotten.
Good:
-Lunch menu for the win!
-Spring Rolls (four come in an order)
-Chicken & Shrimp Fritters
-Pork chops (good!)
-Kee Mao (Drunken Noodle) must try!
-If you show up during lunch with a party of 2, you can get seating rather quickly
Bad:
-I know it's part of the lunch special, but I found the Fritters serving size to be smaller than small
-during the lunch rush if you don't grab a waiter's attention it will be awhile before someone takes your order, or gets your check for you
This place is nicely set up. The wooden tables really complements the decors in this place. It is a small place so seating is hard to find and people are rushed so they can appease to the next waiting party.
I had the $9 lunch special. My choice of appetizers was the vegetable spring roll which was presented and served nicely in duck sauce. the main entree I got was the Drunken Noodle with Shrimp. The meal was not over powering hot and spicy, which makes this meal actually flavorful and appealing with a hint of spicy. I also recommend the Thai Ice Tea.
Yes, I would come back again.
Lantern Thai restaurant in Montague street is always my go-to lunch restaurant whenever I'm in Brooklyn Heights neighborhood.
Lantern is popular for the $9 lunch special that includes an appetizer, then customers can choose from noodles, stir fry or grilled entree options. The dishes are freshly cook and delicious. Except for my recent visit where I found that my pork Shumai was somewhat uncooked. I asked the waiter if it was frozen, he apologized and immediately replaced it with a well cooked replacement.
As always, staff are awesome and nearby. They are ready to help whenever you need anything.
A solid Thai restaurant in Brooklyn that I looked up when I was in the area with my girlfriend. To start, you get why the restaurant is named "Lantern" when you check out the decor in the restaurant. I would give a two thumbs up for the ambiance and decorations as they pay attention to detail and you see this in everything from the drinks to what they hang on the ceiling.
We started off with the papaya salad, which had a nice combination of radish, payaya and other vegetables. It was a bit too acidic for me so be concious of that when you order it. For the entree I ordered the Pad Sew Ew, which was very good as well.
I would come back to try some of the other dishes and I did want to highlight the service as well. The staff was very attentive and very quick.
Went to Lantern for a casual Father's Day lunch and had a fun time. Lantern offers summer outdoor seating which is a huge plus (and they're dog friendly!)
We ordered a variety of spicy Thai curries, the steamed vegetable dumplings and the spring rolls. Everything was really tasty; not mind-blowing, but solid.
The service was also very nice and fast.
Overall, Lantern is a great option for a laid-back, budget-friendly meal on Montague Street. I'll be back!
This place is bigger than what it seems like on the outside. There's a few outdoor seating and then a lot more tables inside with a bar.
I love the ambiance- it was dark with little lanterns hanging from the ceiling. Has a romantic and serene decor. The service was good as well, our waiter checked up on us frequently.
I ordered the pad kee mao with vegetables. It was so delicious i devoured the whole thing- I liked that the noodles weren't drenched in oil either. We also ordered the papaya salad and that was light and tasty. I did not enjoy the taste of papaya until I tried this salad- the dressing added on to the flavor. I would come back to try their lunch specials.
Also, this restaurant is so close to the brooklyn promenade so you can enjoy a nice walk with a view after dinner.
The service at Lantern was extremely rushed. A friend and I had dinner there on a quiet Monday night. Plenty of tables were available. Yet, we were seated, the menus were handed to us, and literally before we had a chance to open them, a server asked us, "Are you ready?" Ready for what – drinks? No, she meant to order our meal. And she seemed surprised when we said that we were not…We were asked if we were ready twice more before we had actually decided what we wanted to eat. This overzealous attitude seemed unnecessary particularly on such a quiet, winter weeknight.
The food came out quickly and was very good. Both the pad thai and the marinated chicken (served with sticky rice and papaya salad) were delicious. The portions were massive and prices reasonable! Next time, though, I would order in rather than dealing with the overly aggressive staff.
