Green Braised String Beans
Lee D.

Walked in in a Saturday night at 6pm and were seated right away. There was only one other table and couple of take out orders while we were there. The exterior is a bit sketchy as many of the shops near by are closed down , but the interior is pretty large and has a bunch of nice booths. Skip the hot and sour soup. It was bland. Highly recommend the orange chicken and also the eggplant dish. This place deep fries their eggplant before tossing it in a sauce. This gave it an amazing texture. I just wish it had a more flavorful or spicy sauce. White rice came with the entrees. Service was good, plenty of parking, and had the World Cup games in 2 big screens.

We are in town visiting Azusa Pacific University, after a walk around campus we found Red Lantern Chinese Cuisine and decided to celebrate the possibility of moving to APU (plus an early celebration since tomorrow is my birthday) The restaurant is small, but large enough for plenty seating in a confortable setting. The staff: Very friendly and welcoming; everyone was kind and respectful. The food: Very tasty, fresh, plentiful. (We are staying at a near by hotel so we only order 2?items plus a soup because we didn't want to waste food by not having a place to store the leftovers) But, if things go as we hope at APU, this restaurant will become a place we plan to visit often once the transition is decided to move to APU.

2 stars for good food. But less stars because they never answer their phones. We wanted to clarify our order and called 9 times continuously but after you get your order expect them to NOT ANSWER any more calls from your number. I had to come in person again just to ask about our order. Don't get me wrong their food is good but they need to work on their communication a lot better. I want to say expect when you call this number they will not answer it once you order and pick up your food. They never answered my calls to clarify our order. I had to drive back from home just to clarify why we were missing something. When I came to the restaurant 3 staffs were just sitting on the table, there was no one dining in so can't say they were busy.

Came here for a classic comfort meal--orange chicken, fried rice, and veggie egg rolls. It's not the best I've had, but definitely not the worst either. The food was flavorful and satisfying, nothing mind-blowing but solid for the area. The place seemed busy with locals, which is always a good sign. Portions were generous, the orange chicken had that familiar sweet-savory crunch, and the fried rice hit the spot. Overall, it's a decent neighborhood go-to if you're nearby--reliable, casual, and easy--but not something I'd go out of my way to come back for.

Mongolian beef.

A friend wanted to try this place out and it's closer to home so we went. They have variety of lunch specials until 3pm. Comes with egg flower or hot and sour soup with an egg roil served with white or fried rice. We ordered mushroom chicken and Mongolian beef. Both dishes were tasty. The Mongolian beef was done right, with sliced yellow onion and green onion! A bit skimpy on the green onion but the taste was just right. The mushrooms chicken was also great with plenty of chopped garlic and the chicken breast pieces were tender. Service was quick and the records are just your ordinary place to dine. Got my fix in.

Amazing staff held our birthday cake and were kind enough to chill some champagne for us.

Years ago we would come here and it was always decent. Shortly after COVID, something about the food changed and unfortunately we just weren't fans of the changes to the menu. Recently, I have to say we came back and we are so glad we did. There must be a new cook or something because we have yet to have a bad meal. Combination chow mein is the star for our family. Combo fried rice is also a staple for us. I would 100% reccomend the garlic chicken and the Mongolian beef. Sweet and sour pork and sweet and sour chicken is phenomenal. But enough about the food. The staff. Everyone who has served us has been such a joy. 2 nights ago we had a birthday party for my sister and they were so accommodating for our large group. If you have not been to Red Lantern recently you haven't been to Red Lantern.

Shrimp Fried Rice
Kelly W.

Was craving Chinese food and saw this place. We called in and ordered for take out during lunch time. The place had one occupied table when we arrived and it's look just like a typical Asian restaurant with plenty booths and tables. We got orange chicken, fish with black bean sauce and shrimp fried rice. The lunch special set comes with your choice of white rice, brown or egg fried rice and a fried egg roll. All the dishes tasted very good, the orange chicken was tender and had plenty of sauce. The black bean fish had a perfect amount of sauce, not too salty! The portion they give was way more than enough for one person especially the shrimp fried rice... the container was full to the rim! I would recommend this place for anyone craving Chinese food!

Unlimited soup and bean sprouts
Miranda O.

I came with a couple of girlfriends to the Red Lantern for dinner, there is both a serve-it-yourself bar in another room behind the entrance room for their unlimited soup and condiments, and there is a nice wait staff that serves you whatever dishes that you have ordered from the menu. There is plenty of parking in a public lot behind the restaurant. The food tastes great, the price is reasonable, and there is space to bring a group of friends located in a second room behind the first entrance space. I liked the ultra manga-like decor on the wall. I would come here again and bring my family next time for a meal!

Orange Chicken
Andrea T.

This was my first time here, and I had a great experience. The interior was nice, the customer service was excellent, and the food came out quickly. Be sure to ask for the homemade chili oil, it's definitely worth it. We ordered the salt and pepper fish, which was delicious and perfectly crispy, and the combination fried rice, which came in generous portions and tasted great. I'll definitely be coming back!

My friends and I dined at Szechuan Garden Last night. The food and service were first rate, as…read moreusual. I had the Chicken in Black Bean Sauce. It's my favorite dish there. I tend to lean towards the salty/spicy end of the spectrum (in other words, not sweet) at Chinese restaurants and this fits the bill perfectly. The only thing that would make it better is if there was some kung pao spiciness to it. There were six of us. Each of us ordered an entree and we all shared. We all chose to add the dinner combination to our entrees. For an additional $6.95, you get soup, fried rice or steamed rice, an egg roll, a fried wonton, and something called paper chicken (which is actually wrapped in foil and tastes kind of sausage like). Incidentally, for years, my go to Chinese restaurant was China Gate in nearby Upland. I had been going there since the mid '90s. Back in late 2018, I was stunned to learn that they had closed after nearly 40 years in business. Oh no! What was I going to do now? Thankfully, someone dropped the name Szechuan Garden on the Yelp page for China Gate. I was intrigued. I had to try the place. I'm glad that I did. The food is good and the prices are quite reasonable. The ambiance less industrial and perhaps a touch more "cozy" than a lot of restaurants nowadays. Overall, it was an enjoyable dining experience. If you like Chinese food, do yourself a favor and give Szechuan Garden a try.

I learned that Chopsticks House recently changed hands, which is understandable since the former…read moreproprietor had been there for decades and his retirement was well deserved. While this often signals unwelcome adjustment for patrons accustomed to the manner in which an established restaurant's dishes are prepared, changes in recipes and/or ingredients being used, or just a plain old difference in overall taste or presentation, I'm happy to observe that, as a customer for decades, this wonderful little gem of a restaurant has maintained the key characteristics - both in food quality and service - that made our family fans so long ago. There have been some recent additions to the menu, in both dish selection and beverage variety, which actually align the restaurant better with contemporary tastes and dining trends. Traditionalists need not fear, however, as the old menu standards still remain and are as good as ever. (In fact, I didn't realize there had actually been a change in ownership until I directly asked our server after not seeing some of the usual staff over the last couple of visits; otherwise, I wouldn't have known.) In terms of ambiance, new booths were recently added (and are more comfortable), but the overall decor remains basically the same. Similarly, the service continues to be on point with dishes prepared upon order and delivered quickly, drinks refilled/refreshed regularly, and vacated tables cleared and cleaned in a timely manner. In summation, the Chopsticks House is as good as ever - and with a recently expanded menu, too. Portions are extremely generous, and they do not skimp on the proteins or quality of ingredients. Additionally, the popular lunch specials remain and continue to be a great value for early afternoon diners.

We had ordered Thai iced tea, the beef chow fun, potstickers, bbq pork appetizer, and the string bean chicken. Here's a breakdown of what I thought of each of the dishes: - You can never go wrong with a Thai Iced tea. This hit the spot, was refreshing, and was the perfect thing to sip on whilst waiting for our food. - The potstickers were okay. They were definitely lacking a dipping sauce, which I think would've balanced the dish out perfectly! - I really enjoyed the bbq pork! It was slightly on the dry side, but I didn't mind. (I tend to like meat on the dryer side for some odd reason). I think this dish, with a side of fried of rice would be spectacular together! - The Beef Chow Fun was my favorite of the items we ordered. The noodles & accoutrements were seasoned beautifully and the beef was tender and delicious. - The string bean chicken was also yummy! The string beans were cooked to perfection! However, my only critique of this dish is that there was not enough chicken and the chicken bits were a tad smaller than I had expected them to be. I definitely want to come back here and try more of the menu items! I'm eyeing the braised beef noodle soup, the pan fried noodles, the orange chicken, and the spare ribs for next time... YUMMY! Overall, what's not to love about Canaan Chinese Cuisine? The food is DELICIOUS, the portions are large, the location is great, and the overall experience is fantastic! I highly recommend this spot to any folks that are in the area looking for a solid Chinese/Taiwanese foodie experience!

Egg Drop Soup (Free): It's boiled water, egg, and cornstarch. Idk if they even salted it. They might have. It doesn't matter, it's free. They took it away before we could finish the pot. Peking Style Pork Chop: It's good. I will gladly spend $13 for this. You get the signature sauce that's sweet, salty, and just generally good. I can recommend this 100%. Curry Beef Stew: Another above average option for the price point. Not too spicy, tender beef brisket, at a respectable portion size. No complaints from my end. Seafood Tofu: The worst of the bunch. Bland tofu, bland seafood, and the sauce didn't really do anything. I'd skip this. Ambiance: Starter Chinese restaurant trying to be serious. Tablecloth, tables that seat 4-8, at a decent size. Service: It's a Chinese restaurant, expect nothing, and you won't be disappointed.

After we started to skim the menu, I noticed that most of the menu items did not have pricing information clearly displayed. Since we were a large party, we decided to order the dinner package. At least that had a pricing displayed. Once the food arrived, it was extremely bland. Not only that but this was the most I've paid for mid-tier Chinese food in a while. Since when did Chinese food get so pricey? Pan fried noodles were ok, walnut shrimp was good, pork chops were decent but everything else was mid! Oh and those sodas are about $7,xx bux each so stick to hot tea. Also, they wrote in a suggested tip amount and underlined 16% but probably charged the 18%. It's also calculated after tax. It's supposed to be calculated based on pre-tax. I didn't want to fuss over the bill while the server stood over me. This will probably be the last time I step foot in this place. Not worth the price point at all.

PS - also seeing recent yelp reviews about trending terrible service, please just run from this place. if they don't want your business, don't force your time and money down their throats. i'm not interested in eating bloody chicken anyways.
