Lanterns

Worst eat in Chinesse we have had in Ipswich chicken over cooked crispy beef no flavour chicken curry bland duck fatty toilets a mess no complaints about the service

My other half and I had a lovely meal here. Food is amazing ( lovely vegetarian optons) service 10/10 atmosphere friendly the staff are friendly and can't do enough we were made to feel welcomed. The restaurant is very clean the decor is fantastic. Definitely going to bring our family next visit.

Really disappointed after attending their buffet on Friday night. £25 per person and I’m convinced we could have got the same amount of food between us from a takeaway for less Not only that but we were served raw chicken which ended up putting me off my meal. Unfortunately I ate some and I was poorly the next day. They weren’t even going to take any money off for this - until my two friends went up to request it. Seems to have gone downhill since I last went.

Been coming here for some while and never had a complaint. Food is still very good but the service isn't. Only one waitress seems to be on the ball and looked stressed out from having to carry the other two who constantly got things wrong. Even attempting to give the Just Eat man the wrong order which I observed at the bar. I came on Thursday 15th February with two friends. One chose a la a Carte whist two of us had the all you can eat buffet. We ordered the starters no problem but weren't offered any intermediate course duck and pancakes. For mains the order was correct accept we asked for sizzling beef hot pan and ended up with chicken with green peppers and black bean sauce which was tasty so didn't complain. Signs in window advertising for more staff so hopefully things will improve as they desperately need to

I’ve been on a good few occasions in the past and always felt lanterns was a good option for a larger group but I echo some of other recent reviews by saying the service was quite poor largely due to the three waitresses being overrun and clearly quite stressed out. Food quality varied across the dishes but the chicken used was very cheap. Ordered some more drinks midway through which we had to bug them for quite some time later. Hopefully they can turn things around but won’t be going back for a while

Hard review as the food has previously been quite good. However, the last few orders have shown a clear cutback on the amount of meat provided across the menu. My last order I received (bitesize) satay chicken on skewers where the pieces are smaller than my thumb. Large chicken chow mein with a few shreds of wafer thin chicken. I understand times are tough, but this is just not acceptable.

Went there with a group of friends last night. Was greeted in a very friendly and welcoming manner. It seemed to have a very relaxed atmosphere. We were not rushed into ordering our food. We ordered a selection of appetisers which turned out to be a excellent variety to start our meals. We then ordered a selection of dishes for our mains. The food did not take long at all and again lived up to expectations. We were able to get some extra portions when we had finished the mains. We ordered some desserts which were a bit small but in my opinion the ideal size to finish off a lovely meal. Overall it was a most enjoyable evening and I am sure that we will be going back in the future.

This is a superb Chinese restaurant. Staff are all super friendly and the food is amazing. I was served by P and she was fantastic. I would defo recommend to friends and family. Can’t wait to go back.

Had dinner here with friends, food took a while to be served but I appreciate that freshly cooked food takes a while to cook but the food wasn't exactly amazing and seemed quite basic..... Out of everything the best thing on the menu was the chow main. Things were missing off what we ordered and when the food did arrive, what was ordered was wrong..... Desserts were small, basic and again nothing exciting. I get it was quite a quiet night but, overall 90% of our party of friends left very disappointed with the over rated restaurant
