I remember enjoying this place the few times I came previously... I was disappointed in half of the dishes we ordered. Chow fun had absolutely no flavor. Dishes were cold. Our waiter was strange, too, making us feel insecure for the amount of food we ordered (4 dishes and an appetizer for two) and laughed at us. I hadn't eaten anything that day, it was dinner time, and I was starving! Made us feel guilty for the left overs and scraped all of them into one dish right in front of us, like, see how much food you wasted? But we finished 80% of the food! We wanted to take the leftovers, but we had a show after, which we explained. He also blurted out the total on our check in front of us before handing it over. A lot of us want to keep that discreet if on a date or with guests! Need some decency training! read more

Red Lantern - Bland no flavor Chow Fun - Chinese Near Me - Lincoln, California

The food was delicious, if you can eat seafood I recommend the seafood fried rice the flavor was not fishy at all.

I dont usually leave reviews at Casino restaurants but I had to give one due to a wonderful experience! After watching the BEP concert my group got hungry and decided we wanted some rice. The food didnt disappoint! The Mongolian Beef, walnut prawns and orange chicken were all delish and good portions. Not too much not too little. The highlight though even more than the food was the server Mack! He made sure to check on us and was just overall great throughout our dinner. We will definitely be coming back for sure!

Excellent Asian cuisine! We had a late dinner after the Teddy Swims concert and both were fabulous. Our entrees were sizzling filet mignon, veggie bbq fried rice, and the Filipino pancit noodle so so good. We will definitely eat here anytime we come to the casino. read more

Wow! So good! We've eaten at RL twice (late, after a show) and both times the food as so darn good!!! I highly recommend. Oh, and, the bartender makes some "mean" cocktails. read more

Took over 45 minutes to get our meal. The bartender never came back to ask for drinks. We had to ask on multiple occasions where our dinner was. He finally came back after 40 minutes and said there was two orders in front of us. However, people that came in after us were already served and almost done eating. The food, however, was really good. read more

We went to Red Lantern for Thanksgiving dinner with our family of 7. The service and food were fantastic! I loved sitting at the big round table with the lazy susan and sharing the delicious food! I look forward to going back! read more

The food is amazing. I love to order the whole fish. The server debones the fish table side. The food is well seasoned, hot and great customer service. I would visit this restaurant even if I was not staying at the hotel/casino. It's a hidden gem inside Thunder Valley Casino. read more

Its been four years since my last review and they get a half a start bump as I have visited quite a few more times when I said I would not return. However, that is only because I have free comps to pay for it. Otherwise, I still don't think they are worth the price would highly likely use my own hard earned money. If service was better, I would change that view but it is horrible. Food is decent. It is better than Panda Express but I can also find better for less at a Chinese hole in the wall. You are paying for the pretty ambience but you sure are not paying for service! Most of the time they never come back. I always have to flag down for refills or to get our ticket or anything else we may need. Food takes a while to come out at times. Our "lunch" came to $60 after tip. I could be just as satisfied going to Subway, lol. But yeah try it once, you might like it. They do have some lunch specials for $12.99 during the day that I think is fair. You get an entree, rice, eggroll, and soup. read more

The food was NOT up to par today. We ordered our favorite Kung Pao chicken as well as the chicken with Chinese broccoli. We requested it to be less oil and less salt. It came with too much oil and Angela (the server) was not very happy when we told her about the oil. Check this picture out yourself and see the oil. Looks like the server was not very happy to be working. read more

The food was good, but it came out cold as if it were microwaved... It was very overpriced, and the presentation of the mongolian beef and chowmein was very disappointing. Customer service was great , so we tipped accordingly to the customer service. Interestingly, I'm not the only one who experienced cold food. Portion was very small as well. read more

The red lantern is inside the thunder Valley Casino. I had reservations. The food was very good. Price was reasonable service was very good.

Delicious hot spicy soup! Mouth watering juicy Peking Duck with crispy skin! Chilled Sake was amazing! Wish we had more than a little bottle!! Lol GREAT price!! My boyfriend loved the chilled Coronas!!! He said one was perfect! The Thunder sushi roll was amazing! I loved the sauce!! We loved the fish- I haven't had one like that in years since I worked at Red Lobster! The orange chicken brought out the b day party girl in me-- after I went dancing-- even my tongue was impressed! I can't believe the perfect mix of freshly breaded chicken and orange sauce mixed to perfection! The different selections of shrimp fried rice are TOO DIE for!!!! I also recommend the spicy sauce added to any of their noodles and you can always add PRAWNS for a few dollars!!! We go here for our birthdays, anniversaries, to celebrate WINs or just on a cold night for their HOT FRESH soup! read more

The food was delicious. It was fresh. Didn't taste greasy. Took quite a while to get our order out but it was worth the wait. Our server was a crack up. He was such a grump but it's who he was. He wasn't grumpy at us but he got the job done. I would recommend this place in a heartbeat The only reason I gave four stars was because it took a long time to get our food out. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a while. Fried rice has no flavor the lettuce in the rice made if more flavorless. Honey walnut prawns was good the price of the portion size not great. Wish they had sauces on the side that I could use but they are closed early. read more

FOOD -- (4/5) Love the soup here got the fish maw and it was so refreshing for my throat after being dry all week. Everything else on the menu was typical Chinese food that tasted good overall. SERVICE -- (3/5) The wait or that we got was too quick to grab our order and just anything he did was at 4x the speed. However, he came a handful of times to our table to refill water. VIBES -- (5/5) This place has high ceiling which makes the place look very grand and had every theme possible to make it Chinese from the music to the decoration. read more

Food - Great Ambience- Great Service- Good Price - Decent Parking - fair What keeps us from going is having to walk thru part of the casino and we don't like the smoke. It would be nice for them to somehow reopen the entrance on that side before they constructed the event center read more

Another successful dinner here. Sure the orange chicken is bomb. The pot stickers solid. The Mongolian beef good. But today is all about the service. I believe her name was Peiyan. She was amazing. Even my daughter commented how great she was. So thank you so much for our dining experience. Always love coming back here. read more

Servers are extremely RUDE. They drop your food off at the table and simply walk away. What happened to Service with a smile? Food quality is AVERAGE at best, PF CHANG is much better. The only nice thing that I will remember about this restaurant is the design & Ambiance. read more

The food was amazing! Every single item we ordered was so good. The upswell of fried rice was so quick I wondered what just happened. It was a little frustrated until the rice arrived. Best fried rice and plate was clean. Never happened for two people! The only issue we had was the service was a little rough with timing. They are so very busy...the decor was super kool to look at while eating and enjoying a couple of hot sake ... read more

We love Red Lantern! It's our go to place at Thunder Valley. Polly is usually our server, she is friendly, efficient and knows how to treat her guests. If Polly is not available Angela is a complete joy to have serve, also very friendly, efficient and will be a treat. Food is always amazing. Fresh, hot and delicious. Mongolian Beef is the best ever. Salt and Pepper Sea Bass, Pho', egg rolls, dumplings all excellent. It may be a bit pricey but it's always worth it to us... to have great service, delicious food in a beautiful restaurant. read more

The food here is very authentic and very well made. It is however quite expensive, perhaps because it is located inside a casino. It is just something I cannot pass up when I go to The Casino. read more

Great food. Took it to go and they provided all we needed. Only good Chinese restaurant in Lincoln.

Food - The food was decent, but I've had more flavorful Chinese food elsewhere. We ordered the potstickers and dumplings as appetizers and they were okay. We ordered war won ton soup and I felt it lacked flavor overall. As far as entrees go, we ordered the general chicken which had a nice kick to it, honey walnut shrimp (pretty tasty), asparagus and beef (also tasty), and a couple other dishes like fried rice and chow mein. Service - The staff was friendly and attentive. They kept our glasses full and cleared out plates promptly. Ambiance - The restaurant itself has a nice ambiance. Unfortunately, because it is inside the casino, the cigarette smoke smell travels into the restaurant a bit. read more

The food is very good. Prices are a bit expensive, but then again, it's worth it. The ambiance is fantastic, and the service is impeccable! I would highly recommend this place if you want some superior quality Chinese food. read more

FOOD - Seafood Soup with Tofu: shrimp and tofu in egg soup. Yummy! 4/5 - Honey Glazed Walnut Prawns: good flavor, the shrimp could be crunchier. I love the walnuts! 4/5 - Salt & Pepper Sea Bass: deep fried sea bass fillets and asparagus. The batter was flavorful but the fish could be marinated more. 3/5 - Stir-Fried Sticky Rice: sticky rice with Chinese sausages, dried, shrimp, egg, and green onions. Probably the best sticky rice I've every had. The consistency was perfect and flavor was on point. 5/5 - Beef Chow Fun: beef chow fun with bean sprouts and onions. This plate was almost 50% bean sprouts. It was overwhelming. Especially for someone who doesn't like bean sprouts. The flavor was good and the beef was tender. 4/5 - Daily Fresh Farm Greens: broccolis, green beans, carrots, and mushrooms in garlic and oyster sauce. Good flavor, greens cooked to a soft crunch. Just how I like it. 4/5 SERVICE: Our server was very sweet, friendly, and attentive. Our food came in a timely manner. 5/5 FINAL THOUGHTS: I would definitely come back. The food good and service was great. read more

At first when arriving, they tried to sit me way in the back by the kitchen!!! Ummmm don't think so.. I requested a "better seating arrangement and location", and was placed at a tiny table. Nonetheless, the food was delicious, and highly recommended! Make sure to get a cute doggy bag with food for your next dinner!! And speak up, if you don't want to be placed in the corner by the kitchen!! Lol read more

This place never disappoints! The sizzling beef tenderloins are a must as well as their salt and pepper sea bass. The service is prompt and the servers are really nice.

At exactly 6:16pm today, the 28th of January we were at this restaurant "Red Lantern" to order Shrimp Fried Rice and 2 more items for our dinner. We know that there are a lot of Chinese restaurants out there but since we came to rest our minds here at Thunder Valley Casino, we decided to order Chinese food to go for our dinner. Unfortunately, one of the waiters declined to serve us. He said, the restaurant is too busy to take our TO GO orders and left us just like that. I wanted to speak to the manager or the head of the Thunder Valley Casino but it is getting late and we have to look for Chinese restaurant around the area, we have our son with special needs who loves Chinese food. To make the situation really disappointing, we don't really know the area. We are from another city and too hungry. Another employee approached us and respectfully said the same thing. I never expected this kind of service from supposedly almost 5 star restaurant inside the Thunder Valley Casino. read more

We love Red Lantern... great BBQ pork, some of the best fried rice around. Mongolian beef, singapore noodles and potstickers with some hot tea are always a huge hit. Service is always fantastic as well. Nice atmosphere and somehow not super Smokey despite the location. Highly recommend. read more

We went to Red Lantern last night and was pleasantly surprised. We ordered the following and my ranking is next to it : -Chicken wings - 10/10 -Bbq pork 7/10 would be higher if the meat was served warm and not cold -Chicken Chow Mein - 10/10 - General chicken 8/10 would be 10/10 if they had onion in it -Sticky Rice - 8/10 this was delicious, me personally I'd prefer without the mini shrimp. But it was really good none the less I wish I would have took pictures as I normally do. read more

Don't cha! Don't cha wish your mama was cool like mine? Just kidding, but not really! Price: Free complimentary items. Tina's Temptation and Tourism: - Mama got the hook up! Get to know your host and spend moolaaaah. ‍ - Sad now that the place doesn't have XLB or any dim sum items, I used to love going here with my mom and brother in the mornings and for dinner. - Some servers don't pay any attention to you unless you do something drastic as wave or shout something. A little ridiculous. - Hopefully, things will look up for the new year. Apparently their vendors don't deliver the goods anymore; therefore, they don't have dim sum items to serve. - The other food is good, not bad Chinese food. This place actually use to be Koi Palace before Red Lantern was born. - Great egg tarts and lettuce wraps are yummy. - The hosts are usually nice and know my mama... so we get seated as she's a black card holder. How about the benefits?! - We will be back regardless of the lack of items... mama loves Chinese food. read more

Red Lantern - Chinese Near Me - Lincoln, California

This restaurant is located inside the Thunder Valley Casino. I have gone here several times before. The most recent visit was on Sunday 07/17 around 9pm with a party of 3. We were seated at a decent time. There were plenty of guests dining in. We ordered all À La Carte. Firstly, we got Fried Rice w/ the choice of Chinese Sausage. This was so good. It had a good amount of sausage. Then we got Sizzling Beef Tenderloin. The beef was soft but I had to cut it in half because it was hard to chew & swallow as a whole. This meal is considered spicy but if you don't like spicy, you'll be fine as long as you don't eat near the peppers. This tasted ok. We also got Braised Tofu w/ Veggies and Sweet & Sour Chicken which both tasted good. Lastly we ordered Honey Walnut Prawns which looks small but is actually a good amount. This tasted good as well. The service here is fine. read more
