Lantern

Try they’re lychee mojitos– amazing! The service is great when they’re not packed. Crab cakes were great

Great Drinks and food. Mai Tai was Strong

My friend suggested Lantern so we went during lunch for their $ 9 special. Dumplings were okay, what made them stand out was the sauce they were served in. Chicken pad Thai was delicious and I was presently surprised that although it was lunch the portion didn’t leave my hungry. Will come again.

If you know me, then you know I LOVE THAI! I have been to this place too many times to count. And trust me when I say, everything tastes amazing! My personal favorite is the spicy chicken basil. Add that with a Thai iced tea and your stomach will be in heaven! I also like the spring rolls and the curry puffs. Mmmmm. :) The best part about this place is the price. A dinner for two including appetizers typically is around 30 dollars. Not bad considering all the food you get. My only drawback is the amount of rice they give you. The portion can be kinda small, so if you love rice like me, definitely make sure to order extra rice for a dollar more! The food comes fast and it’s a cute little place that makes awesome dishes! What more can you ask for? :)

This place is decent for Thai. Spring rolls are good and Shrimp Pad Thai was tasty as well (Five shrimp for the record! Haha) The service was great. Came here to catch up with some friends and unfortunately, we can get a bit loud and laughy (that’s a word now) together. They were very nice to us :)

Lantern has awesome Thai food, the restaurant is big enough to actually be comfortable to sit down there and the prices are comparable to everywhere else in Brooklyn Heights/​BoCoCa area like $ 11 – 12 for a pad thai dish. The food is really really good. Try the volcanic chicken if you are eating in, it’s on fire!

Love their crispy basil duck and drunken noodles with shrimps Mmmm… in the mood for this place all the time (brooklyn)

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 entrée 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.

Came here with a group of 10+ for lunch via RSVP. The food tasted good, the menu appears small but there are a lot of solid go-​to choices. You can’t go wrong with the Kee Mao or Pad Thai. I enjoyed my meal, I wish the servers were more pleasant to deal with but no hard feelings.
Good:
–Prix-​Fixe Lunch for $ 9 is a great price
–Thai-​Style Shumai
–Chicken & Shrimp Fritters
–Pad Thai was tasty and filling
–Kee Mao
–Pork Chop was cooked well and tasted great
–Thai Iced Tea
Bad:
–I ate during the lunchtime rush, I understand it’s busy but it was very difficult to get the wait staff’s attention

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.

This was one of the first Thai spots I tried after moving here from Seattle. I was on a date. The service was great. The food was delicious and I ended up a happy customer. Why a four star, there wasn’t anything BOMB! WOW! EXCITING!
It was over ally a great location for a date, romantic and all. Then we walk along the water area. great location. I see there are some lunch specials for 9 bucks. I would love to come on my lunch from downtown NYC. Order ahead, hop on the train, and plenty of time. I miss my old stomping grounds, this place will always have a special something in my heart.
Keep bringing out the pineapple fried rice in a half pineapple; favorite. The drinks were mighty tasty.

I went there the other night and stopped at appetizers. The server was rude and hounding us to order. I wasn’t ready to order because I had a late lunch. So I was enjoying my appetizers and my glass of wine when this annoying man came to me over and over just hovering over my table. I told him allow me time to order. He stood across from us and spoke in his language to his pals. So that was enough for us to yell check please. I guess they must’ve wanted us to hurry up and eat and get out. I don’t get that feeling from all Thai restaurants but this one had the worst service that night. I was actually embarrassed because i raved about how good the service was and then got there and felt let down.
I won’t return!

This is a great romantic spot for you and your honey and a great spot for friends to go to catch up. The ambience is beautiful and warm as soon as you walk in. The candles and dim lighting make it peaceful. The wait staff was very attentive and the service was swift. The food was enjoyable. I had a special (can’t recall the exact name), with calamari, scallops and jumbo shrimp with broad noodles and peppers. It was scrumptious. I plan to visit again in the near future.

Food is great & the Thai Mojito is even greater. Fell in absolute love with their chicken shrimp fritters.

I used to order from here regularly. They’ve always been a busy place but as of late, they seem much more busy. I do typically enjoy their food. Their lunch special is a great deal, entrée and appetizer for under $ 10. The food is your standard Thai dishes. Wouldn’t be disappointed going her.
Unfortunately, when I got my food from here last week it was not a pleasant experience. I ordered the Chicken Pad See Ew. As I ate it I discovered quite a bit of egg shell in it. By that I mean and entire egg shell. It was smashed but still significantly held together. How could they be careless and not notice this?

First time going, and I definitely thought the atmosphere was really intimate and warm, and the decorations were amazing (went around Halloween). I especially liked all the little touches they did for the holiday (cobwebs/​pumpkin lanterns/​etc.) and I think it mixed really well with the lanterns they already had set up. As for the food, my Basil Fried Rice was amazing and the portions were huge. I also got to try the Pork Chop which was also really great, but a little dry in some parts.
The dessert was hands down the best thing. The «Hot and Cool Island» they gave use was fried ice cream in a strawberry sauce and they brought it to our table lit with blue flames. Coolest thing I’ve seen in a while. Otherwise the service was fast, although the servers weren’t particularly talkative. Not too pricey either. Definitely worth a shot.

9÷16÷15
At work and hungry and I love Thai so i thought this would be a great idea mostly because my coworker suggested it. So I ordered the lunch set. Appetizer were spring rolls with plum sauce and Pad Se Ew with shrimp. Exactly ewwwwwwwww total was about $ 9. The 2 Spring rolls were wet with plum sauce, the plum sauce was all over the container and the inside of the bag. The Pad Se Ew was without egg (I asked for it without egg) and dry! All my noodles were destroyed and in one dry clump. The spinach was uncooked but somehow mixed well. There were 4 medium shrimp with tails still attached and the food was delivered cold.
I won’t be having Lantern again. Didn’t even request a refund. Wasn’t in the mood. I really enjoy filling my belly with food that’s good to my mouth. I’m disappointed.

Third time here, great pad sa ew (forgive me if I spelt that wrong) Its a noodle dish with a type of chinese lettuce and your choice of beef (what i get), chicken, shrimp, and tofu.
they have a great lunch special (not on weekends) where you can get lunch for 9 bucks. great deal! I always get the soup (always miso) but thier other stuff looks great too.
fast service, very efficient. maybe make sure you guys have enough soy sauce dispensers so you dont have to take mine please?
but they dont pressure you to eat fast which I REALLY appreciate.
outside eating is available but I preffure inside. very nicely decorated, although a bit dark.

During jury duty, the judge gave us a little over an hour for lunch one day. Which is just enough time to get some lunch at Montague Street. Lantern advertised their $ 9 lunch special on a marker board just outside their restaurant. For $ 9, I was curious so I stepped in. It was too dark inside for the lunch rush. Did they forget to pay their electric bill? It is not necessary to make a restaurant so dark in the middle of the day. Are they hiding something in the dark?!
I sat down anyways because I made it that far and I was running out of time. I ordered the Grilled Pork Chops lunch special. I was presented with two pork chops laying on top of a bok choy and american broccoli medley vegetable mix and white rice.
The pork chops were not dry, the vegetables were a perfect side and it’s Asian, so you need some white rice to round off the meal. For $ 9 it was worth it. If I could give Lantern 3.5 stars, I would. The flavor was okay. Nothing out of the world. I wished there was more «grilled» taste but it was okay. For the price, I was happy. It was just not enough flavor, lighting (ambience) and service to push it to a 4 star. Please turn on the lights! Ambience in a restaurant doesn’t mean you need to keep it dark!!!
onto more jury duty adventures…

Seriously fast, quality Thai food from a seriously expansive, inexpensive lunch menu. $ 9.95 gets you an appetizer and a main course off the lunch menu.
Restaurant is clean, convenient and service is efficient. Outdoor seating on a warm day on Montague Street in the Heights is nice too.
Great lunch spot for with co-​workers or a friend.
Be sure to ask for the side hot sauces. They are brought over in 4 small glass jars with lids and spoons. They are tasty and spicy … Beware of the green colored, innocuous looking chili sauce — it looks mild but is the spiciest one. All these sauces provide great flavor and an extra kick :)
