I get their lunch special a lot here and came here a few times for dinner. Their portion size is great! And so is their lunch special. Their pad thai and kee mao are a great favorite among many of my friends. I tried their crispy calamari and it was tasty, definitely getting again. read more

Lantern - Thai Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Wandered into this restaurant looking for a last minute dinner spot on a Friday night. Airy setup with lots of seating at the bar still available. Known for their lunch specials, the dinner options are more expensive. Nonetheless, interesting options to choose from. Opted for the Salmon Mango ($24) and a glass of white wine ($8). Wine comes first; a generous pour which paired well with my fish. Salmon is served as a large grilled filet, placed alongside a "spicy mango salad". The spice doesn't come through as much as I would have hoped, but it didn't overpower either (which would have been worse). Overall a filling dish... Service is quick, as the bartender took our orders despite being busy making all the drinks. Solid after-work option in the area. read more

Lantern - House white - Thai Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Lantern is my go to Thai spot when in Brooklyn Heights/DUMBO. The food is great, servers are very attentive, and the ambience is nice and relaxing to really enjoy your meal! My friend and I split the spring rolls, the plum sauce they come with is really tasty! I ordered the Vegetable Pad Thai, I love the presentation with the egg! The serving size is large, enough to split with someone or take home for a left over meal! My friend ordered the tofu pad see ew, she enjoyed her meal as well. We also enjoyed two Thai Iced Teas with our meal. The Thai Iced Tea looked pretty, and tasted even better, the best part is it was not too sweet! I always enjoy eating at Lantern! read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants. It's on such a cute block with flat storefront & a block away from the water/bridge. Real cute for a low-key date night. The staff is always polite & they serve you as a group. So you can stop any staff member and they'll help you. They're all very attentive and they check in often without being annoying. They also have lunch specials-- you can get an app & entree for $12 & The food is Good! Plus if you want to try things on the menu-- that's really the best time to do it. At this point let me just make a list of all my favs/recommendations: Chai Iced Tea- I literally stop by the restaurant specifically for this tea. It's so good! I love it. Make sure you order this-- if nothing else lol $3 Chicken & Shrimp Fritters - Always bomb! It's shredded chicken and shrimp fried in a little ball with a sweet/tangy sauce. It's really good. Spring Rolls- the sauce is soo good! Thai Fried Rice in a Pineapple-- this was real cute for my stories when I first started coming here & it taste good! Thai Fried Rice w| Chicken & Shrimp -- my Go to. Can't go wrong here Spicy Pad Thai is good & will def clear you up if you have a cold or something lol Fried Ice Cream & lava cake are dessert fav. I think you guys get the point now lol just go grab a table :) read more

Lantern - Chai Iced Tea - Thai Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Do not go if you are vegan. They don't know how to customise dishes for vegans and the two dishes that we got customised we bland and tasteless. Had to send the kee Mao back cause it tasted like eating plain boiled rice noodles. They got it back with just extra salt pepper and chillies on top. The two dishes we ordered also had barely any tofu or veggies. Sad how tasteless the food was but the waiters were helpful and seemed apologetic. read more

This is my go-to spot for Thai in BK Heights! Like most thai places, they do a lunch special that includes an appetizer with a main entree. I normally get drunken noodle with chicken and the spring rolls and it's always great. Service is very friendly as well. Inside is a very nice and quiet ambiance. They also have a full bar if you want to have a drink with your meal. Don't miss this place if you're craving thai in the heights! read more

I ordered take out---the food was good. I'd definitely return. The food was prepared very quickly despite it being right after work hours. I ordered the pad Thai with chicken ($12) and green curry with chicken ($12). The price compared to other Thai restaurants in manhattan is fair. The servings are decent and left me happy and full. read more

And for my 400th review, Lantern Thai Kitchen in Brooklyn Heights.... Actually we enjoyed Lantern so much we dined there two nights in a row! I usually don't do this, but on the second night we were hot and tired and found ourselves looking for somewhere to eat right in front of Lantern. I just chose it again as it was an easy selection to make our party of five happy. Also our feet were killing us. First, Lantern is a really pretty Thai restaurant. There are some beautiful woodcarvings, even on the doors of the restrooms, and hanging lanterns. The ceiling has cool exposed beams and there are also exposed brick walls. I really liked the interior, it was causal but elegant. Service was also very good both nights we were there. Lantern has a bar with decent selection of Asian and local beers. Over the two nights we dined at Lantern we had a small variety of dishes. The fried calamari appetizer was very good, and cooked perfectly. The Tamarind Whole Fish was a crispy whole red snapper with spicy tamarind sauce. The sauce was fantastic without bringing too much heat. The Pad Thai was also quite good and served in a unique way. Instead of the egg being cooked in the stir-fry, the egg was served as a thin crepe and then mixed in with the peanuts and lime. The Massaman curry, one of my favorite dishes, was also excellent. Everything we had at Lantern was good to very good to excellent. For dessert we ordered fried bananas with vanilla ice cream and Green Tea cheesecake. Both of these desserts were also great and not overly sweet. The prices were very reasonable, our bill for 4 people was just over $100.00 with two beers and 2 desserts and we had a lot of food. Lantern Thai Kitchen is in a great area on Montague Street. The restaurant is only a few blocks from the Brooklyn Promenade, Brooklyn Bridge Park. Downtown Brooklyn is also only a 10-minute walk. 4.5 Yelp Stars read more

I really want to give this place a three star rating, but I'm pretty sure I got food poisoning from here when I ordered the Lantern's noodles... The decor is gorgeous. Very dark and sensual and modern. It's lit with candles and very dim lighting. The food presentation is also impressive as is the drink presentation (there are paper roses made from straw encasing in the straws when they bring your drink order!). The food was delicious. The service is fairly good. And I would have no complaints and given it four stars. Until the check came... it's a little pricey for the quality of food. Three stars then! But wait... an hour later, my stomach started a war against the rest of my body. Sorry Lantern, two stars for you. read more

Lantern - Thai Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I come here so often, I'm cool with the staff (HEY GIGI! lol). The lunch specials are now $10, but the quality of the food has not changed. Still delicious. My go-to meals are the Thai Fried Rice, Pad See Ewe and the Garlic Dish. If I go during non-lunch hours, I get the Garlic Fish. OMG! So delish! I get the garlic on the side and dip the fish into it just to ensure every bite of the fish has garlic sauce on it! If the weather permits, I love sitting outside but the ambiance inside so charming and romantic. Can't wait to return!! read more

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 entree 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. read more

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 :) read more

Lantern - Restaurant interior; sit outside on a nice day. - Thai Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

My favorite Thai restaurant. I've come here about 3 times with different people. All people I convinced to try Thai. They all loved it. The place is a bit small but yet have a nice ambiance. The location is perfect because there's a lot to do in that area. After dinning here take a walk down to the Promenade for a little site seeing. The views of the Brookyln Bridge and the city (at night) is really wonderful. The wait staff here is really friendly. During the summer it gets busy especially because there's a seating area outside. My favorite thing on the menu is the duck and pineapple fried rice. It's served in a pineapple...super yummy!! My friend had the crispy duck and sweet mama it was delicious. I swear for a second it was bacon. Lol. It was crispy and had a kick of spice. Can't wait to go back. read more

Cute Thai restaurant in Brooklyn Heights. Dim lights, husky toned wood and light linen decorated the restaurant. I had the Drunk Man Noodle and was very satisfied with the flavor, but was expecting bigger portion after knowing the size another Thai restaurant chain Spice would have given me for the same price. Needless to say the food was still yummy and spicy just the way I like it. My mom had the Garlic Fried fish which was HUGE! I mean this thing looks liked it could have dropped out at me if it wanted to. Presentation was definitely a strong point for Lantern. My thai Iced tea was bland. I have yet to find a Thai restaurant that uses the sweet milk for that extra kick like lemon thai in Wellesley, MA. Other than that I could see myself going back to Lantern for a casual dinner again. read more

Delicious thai food at a cozy spot in Brooklyn Heights. I went there on a friday evening and was happy that there were two tables available. I had the thai onion rings which were DELICIOUS. I had to thank the waiter for suggesting it. I also had the spicy basil rice... now It wasnt spicy which was disappointing but it was delicious. I prefer my food thai food to be spicy and not mild... what this place was lacking was authentic thai food.. but the staff is sweet and attentive and I enjoyed the appetizers way more than the main course. read more

We came here as a party of 2 at around 5:50 PM on a Friday night without reservations. At this time, it was not too busy but it got busy quickly by around 6:30 PM. Today's weather was beautiful and we were offered to decide whether we want to be seated inside or outside. We chose outside. The block of the restaurant isn't too busy (not too many passerbys) and sitting outside the restaurant felt pretty relaxing and chill. The only downside to sitting outside are the flies and bees. If you hate bees and flies with a passion, then I urge you to be seated indoors! I took a sneak peek of the indoors to use the bathroom and it was beautiful and calming inside. We ordered the chicken pad Thai & pineapple fried rice with chicken along with Thai iced tea. Price is pretty inexpensive considering the location and ambiance of the restaurant. Waiters were super friendly and pleasant and food came FAST! Within 7 minutes of ordering my food, my entree arrived at our table! Food was delicious. Bill came out to only $40 for 2 entrees and 2 Thai iced teas including tax and tip. I would definitely come here again for a quick meal with a friend or even a birthday celebration with a small group! The restaurant is conveniently located super near the Brooklyn Heights promenade (just 2-3 blocks down)! You cannot miss it. All you have to do when you leave the restaurant is turn right and literally follow the water. There are benches at the promenade where you can sit and experience breathtaking views of the Manhattan skyline, Hudson River, Statue of Liberty, and the Brooklyn Bridge. read more

Thai restaurant on Montague with a nice, dimly lit interior. There's ample seating and a wide selection of food items. We tried the yellow chicken curry and chicken pad kee mao. Both were a solid serving size. However, they were both quite salty and Lily to taste. The kee mao had a good amount of egg but barely any veggies and onions. The yellow curry was rather thin, but very salty and heavy to taste. Fast service, good portions, but for more veggies and less oil, I prefer other Thai options in the area. read more

Lantern - Pad kee mao and Yellow Curry - Thai Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Lantern is a dark, zen Thai restaurant on the popular Montague Street. It is filled with dark, earthy wood furniture, lattices, and screens that make it feel a little mysterious but still casual. The service was okay, not the hovering type and definitely quite busy, but quiet. The prices are affordable and the portions healthy in size, but usually heavy on the carbs. We ordered: lantern noodle with beef montague fried rice with beef thai iced coffee green curry chicken The lantern noodle and montague fried rice were very similar to each other, with large strips of tender beef, egg, lettuce, and scallion. It was tasty, but not remarkable, and definitely heavy on the carbs.The iced coffee was waaaaaaay too sweet. My friend really enjoyed the green curry chicken. Overall, Lantern makes a solid neighborhood staple and a lunchtime regular restaurant. Maybe I'll be back! read more

I recently visited here the past two Saturdays which were very tough personal days. The atmosphere was nice, the people were kind and the food was good.

I've been going to Lantern for over 10 years, and the food is not always consistent, but the lunch special is totally worth it. I remember when the lunch special was an even 10 bucks, but it's gotten a little more expensive. The staff has always been friendly and attentive. It's not a joint I would recommend to go out of your way to get to, but if you're in the area for like jury duty, this may be a good place to get a Thai fix! read more

I used to live in Gramercy and would get take out from lantern Thai all the time. This place doesn't disappoint. Our favorites are green curry and their spicey fried rice. Whether dining in or getting delivery comet the services is always fast. If they tell you a 30 - 45 minute delivery time, expect 13 to 16. In fact, all you have to do is step in the shower and boom. Someone is ringing your buzzer with Thai food. It's magic! read more

I visited this establishment for the first time a few days ago and I was presently surprised on how good my experience turned out to be . Previously I decided to try another Thai restaurant in the neighborhood . However , after a incident which I will not mention this restaurant became my second option. Upon entering the restaurant the hostess greeted us warmly and told us to sit anywhere we wanted . After being seated we received our menu and our complimentary glasses of water . We ordered our drinks as well as a few appetizers and entrees . The food took a while to be prepared , but when our dishes arrived at our table they were piping hot . Everything was well cooked as seasoned well . To top it off the drinks were not watered down and the bill for two entrees , drinks and appetizers was only $52.00 in total . Great price for great food . read more

Lantern - Drunken noodles and Thai Fried Rice Lunch - Thai Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I refer to Lantern as the restaurant that ruined all other Thai food for me. The food here is downright criminally delicious, the service team is fantastic and charming, and I absolutely love the look and feel of the place. I've been here many times, including on a very crowded Fourth of July, and each time, I have been seated quickly (if not right away) and received tip top attentive service. My only note is that I'm baffled that mixed seafood pad see ew is not on the menu (seeing as they have mixed seafood pad thai on there), but I order it every time I'm there and have had no problems being accommodated for that. Lantern has the most delicious Thai food I've had period, but I'm more than willing to go through as many restaurants as possible to prove it! read more

Pretty cool Thai Restaurant in Brooklyn Heights-Dumbo-Downtown Brooklyn (upscale high-end area in Brooklyn, lot of celebrities live in that area ) right near the Brooklyn promenade. There Pork Chops is Amazing and I love there Fried Rice and the white rice as well and their shrimp and salad were amazing, There Red Wine was Amazing. The waiter who went by the name "Three" was pretty cool. The only reason why I gave this place a four instead of five, the food server who server our table mixed the dishes, first she bought the wrong dish at our table, then took it back off our table and bought back to the right table, and the next turn off thing the waiter did when she bought our food to the table, she gave me my friend dish and my friend got my dish, with all this coronavirus it's rude that we had to reach over the table to get our plates at the right side of the table, all dough I did clean my hands with hand sanitizer, I shouldn't be reaching over the table. I did appreciate the soy sauce and duck sauce and the spicy-pepper sauce . very convient by the mta transporation: subway: 2,3,4,5,R-Trains .Borough Hall, Train station. or A,C,F,R- Metrotech Train station. or A C-Train.

We came in after walking by the pier and thought Thai food would hit that spot! We entered and immediately fell in love with the decor and outdoor seating! The staff is super friendly and accommodating! We ordered spring rolls, drunken noodle, massaman curry and I hate to say my meals were mostly misses. The spring rolls had a burnt aftertaste even though they themselves weren't, which leads me to believe it could be the oil. My drunken noodle was super salty in one part and bland on the other which means it wasn't stirred once seasoning was added, and the overall taste was ok nothing to rave about. Massaman curry was decent read more

We came on a Saturday night arrived a little after 9pm. Our server was TJ who was so nice, attentive and gracious. For dinner the restaurant is dimly lit with candles at each table and a plastic divider in between. We tried a couple appetizers the curry puff, chicken and shrimp fritters and the crispy spring rolls. I ordered the drunken noodles with tofu and my fiancé ordered the grilled pork chops with bok choy. We also tried for dessert the banana lumpio i think it was called and the fried ice cream.

Excellent and very authentic Thai place in Brooklyn Heights. It is very spacious with a hip interior and an outdoor seating area too. Our main entrees were the Rama Chicken and Basil Duck. The Rama Chicken comes with a delicious peanut sauce atop a bed of spinach. The Basil dish was not too spicy but still full of flavor. Both of the meats in our entrees were very moist and juicy. I was also surprised by how large the portions they brought us were. Best of all - this place is only steps from the Brooklyn Promenade. After enjoying a nice meal here, walk over to the waterfront for amazing views of the Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan skyline. read more
