FOOD 5/5 Come here for quality. We have chosen Lantern House for years and nowhere in Chelmsford has beaten it. Went with a friend who regularly dines out and he still says it's the best Chinese restaurant that he's been to. The owner is very pleasant and regularly reviews her food against other Chinese restaurants, knowing the reputable places in London. ADVANCE BOOKING We always book ahead if going on a Friday night as it is usually full including a line for collection. RECOMMENDED: Ribs in Peking Sauce, Satay Chicken, Sesame Prawn Toast, Duck, Prawns in Garlic Sauce (with carrots and spring onions), Egg Fried Rice and Banana Fritters. VALUE 4/5 Prices have gone up everywhere. If I compare what I had at Joy King Lau recently Vs here, the outlay was similar at £45-£50 per person (including alcohol + tip) however, it was much better here.
Used to come here 20 years ago, came back for a family meal January ‘23 and still just as delicious!
Quick and friendly service, great tasting food, good prices.
Eight of us, served promptly with all our dishes and drinks.
Lovely job 😃
Great friendly service. Great food.
This was our first visit with the family, but we definitely would recommend it, and we will return.
