The Lantern is always such a treat for us because of the consistency of food and service. Not once has our order ever been wrong or lacking items. We order for 5 and everything is always labeled and easy to divvy out. In regards to the food itself, wow. I tried the Shrimp Pad Tai today and it was so flavorful and had the perfect amount of spice. Crab Meat Wraps (5 Pc) are always a must to start!

This place was authentic! Tasted great. Perfect portions! Great egg rolls, fried rice. The sweet and sour chicken was surprisingly good (like not your average s/s chk) and the calamari was crisp and tasty. Fresh products.

Again, people, I beg you: Stop getting your Chinese anywhere else ***and make Lantern your default choice***.
I've had General Tso's Chicken from nearly every place in and around Columbus - Lantern are the only ones using fresh minced garlic in their sauce. It's little details like that which make them far and away the best Chinese in the Columbus area.

We havent been able to find a good local Chinese spot in awhile. This did not disappoint. The crab meat wraps were great! The sesame chicken was crispy, well sauced and freshly hot. Was enough for me and my daughter to share with leftovers. Will definitely order again!

The Szechuan chicken tasted horrible. The fried rice was bland and disappointing. There was no vegies and only a scant few traces of egg or soy sauce. $3.75 is way too much for just one spring or egg roll.... The shrimp toast was delicious but was literally dripping with grease.
