Beef and Broccoli, Mushroom Chicken, Chow Mein
Regular A.

Nice and fast chinese food. Food was delicious and only cost $13 total, for a hefty serving with big portion sizes. Definitely give this place a try!

Cream cheese wonton
Jenn D.

Great food portions! Great flavor. The lady behind the counter was so friendly and nice! The only thing was the food was only lighly warm bordering on room temperature. I can reheat it once home but I did eat it there but left with a lot of left overs as they give big portions. The cream cheese wonton were also very good and the house made sauce was delicious

Don't come here lady is no respect for customers food is good but I don't want to come here again

2 item combo tofu and shrimp
Britney M.

Hit the spot!! I was craving some tofu and decided to order from Lantern Garden. I ordered the country style tofu, and a couple other meals for the week. I got the shrimp fried rice, country style tofu, and kung pao shrimp. I skipped the appetizers and just went with entrees. The country style tofu was good. I love the firm tofu! Yummy. I enjoyed the shrimp fried rice too. That was really good and the shrimps in that were cooked perfectly. The kung pao shrimp definitely had some heat to it, but it was still good. Overall, all 4 of the entrees I ordered came out good. I love that they have a happy hour special on door dash!

I was craving chow mein and orange chicken and wanted to try something different than the chain restaurants. Unfortunately Lantern Garden fell short of my expectations for the quality of their food. Their chow mein noodles were oily and didn't have a ton of veggies in them. The chicken, both orange and mushroom, had several gnarly pieces that made you question whether or not to continue eating them.. overall was not for me. Pros: portion size and friendliness of the staff

Orange chicken broccoli beef, green bean chicken, and chow mein.
Vanessa G.

I could have sworn I already did a review of this place, since I am such a huge fan. The food here is delicious. The broccoli beef is some of the best I've had. I also love the orange chicken and green bean chicken. The fried rice is tasty and also the chow mein. The egg rolls are fresh and crunchy. The won ton soup is also great. Service is always wonderful. The ambiance is simple and casual. There are a few tables, but it's more of a take out spot. One box of food can feed two people or be 2 meals.

They were very generous with the servings. Their noodles was al dente, which was good versus other place having soggy overcooked noodles. I really enjoyed their fried rice which had lots of flavor! I deducted one star because they wasn't a proper line and there was a table (vacant) right by the food display. It was in the way when I'm trying to see the food and trying to tell them my order. We took our food-to go.

Relatively cheap for the area, the staff is nice and the portions are massive for what you pay! Really good authentic food as well. Unfortunately there are no free refills but that doesn't take away from the experience

This location is a fun spot, though ordering is not the most pleasant on a hot afternoon. The line goes out the door - quite literally - and seating is not plentiful indoors. The line forms on the stairs. I had their pumpkin cheesecake and iced latte. The latte was super strong, which was perfect for me. The pumpkin cheesecake was a surprise especially. Pumpkin can easily overpower many dishes or make them less than tasty. However, their blend with cheesecake here was amazing. The pumpkin taste was gentle, and the texture was smooth. Both blended well with the natural taste of cheesecake - 10/10! I'm not the biggest fan of whipped cream and chocolate, but the modest toppings were delicate and welcomed for presentation. Can't finish? Don't worry, I couldn't either... it's quite a big portion! There are takeaway boxes by the self-serve water. Though seating isn't plentiful, the dining experience is relaxing thanks to their high ceilings and darker environment. There are also four individual restrooms (I believe all gender neutral), which was highly appreciated.

Every time I visit, the service is superb, and the staff always helps make the experience that much better. It's refreshing to visit a location where the customer service is consistently great and you feel welcomed. My go-to order is the D Lox Pizza, and it never disappoints! It's flavorful, satisfying, and something I find myself coming back for every time I visit. I love finding a menu item that you can consistently count on to hit the spot. What really sets this location apart, though, is the service. The staff is attentive, friendly, and efficient, making the overall dining experience enjoyable from beginning to end. Consistency goes a long way, and this location definitely gets it right. If you're looking for a great spot to grab a bite in a welcoming atmosphere with excellent customer service, I'd absolutely recommend Urth Caffé. I'll definitely keep coming back for my D Lox Pizza!

That said, the owners were some of the kindest people I've met, and that genuinely made the experience so much better. Good customer service and warm, welcoming people really do make a difference. You can tell they care about their customers. Even though the boba wasn't exactly my preference, I still left with a positive impression because of how nice they were.

I had the passion fruit tea 25% sweet which was technically advertised as made with real passion fruit puree but it was just a premade syrup from Teazone. I received the drink and was disappointed that it tasted like water with some passion fruit resemblance. I had expected a stronger tea flavor since I did less sweet, but it tasted like sweetened water. I ended up discarding the drink. We also had gotten a classic black milk tea, which also tasted watered down, and finally we got the ube coconut smoothie, which for some reason was grey and white. We got that one at 75% sweet, but it was way too sweet and left a weird residue in my mouth. Very disappointed and would not come back again.

Their Peach Oolong and Passionfruit black tea with their jellies. They don't do the typical coconut based small pieces of jelly, instead opting for house made with jelly. The price of these drinks is super reasonable, the tea quality great, and the jellies refreshing and delicious. 2. On the more premium side price wise, the taro milk tea here is nonetheless worth it. They use 100% real taro. No syrup. No powder. On top of that, even compared to other places which use real taro, this is the best iteration of the drink I've had. Subtly earthy and only slightly sweet, creamy, even with oat milk. An incredible drink. The vibe is relaxing and nice. Service is solid to great, depending on who is working. The owner is very kind!!! Seating is pleasant. Parking is the only issue since the city metered everything, but if you're grabbing a going, try the Total Wines or Target lot. You'll be fine. The meters are also quite cheap.

Interior: Great place to study or to hang out with your friends, there are plenty of tables available with a mini board swinging game placed on each table.
