"Small and cozy place with indoor and outdoor dining. Food was great at a reasonable price with decent size portions. Attentive servers...my water glass was constantly refilled unlike other places where I literally have to flag someone down. Also the great part was that it was not noisy so me and my friends could hold a conversation without raising our voice."

"Went here on Sunday night, we must have just missed the dinner rush. It was around 845pm, only a few other couples around. Nice decor, attentive but NOT overly attentive staff. Romantic, you and your date can have a conversation without feeling rushed out. The food was great, overall great experience! Only down side is its a bit out of the way but in the warmer months its a great walk."

"I've been here many times and when I was looking for a place to celebrate my birthday I thought of Lantern Thai Kitchen.
It was even better that I discovered they were on Open Table."

"Please be aware of this restaurant that would not record your open table points and wrongfully accuse customers for not honoring the dinning appointment. Period."

"If you're there on a cool day, the wind whips thru the place every time the door opens. Very unpleasant. Lunch special includes tuna sashimi which is great, special duck main course was not so great. Will go back though."
