What our guests are saying
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.

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.
