Grilled pork chops & fruit tea & fried apples & broccoli casserole.
Linda S.

Revisiting for the lunch special. Love the rolls the best, always want to take some home & enjoy the special senior butter. The fruit tea is also very good!! Jeanette is training Preston in good customer service. You can always count on this place to host community meetings, the deserts are always special

Ok, so for my 3rd updated review of the brass lantern, ambiance is good, the food was actually good this time I was impressed. That's what made me give 3 stars, our food was really good it seems they finally have good cooks, BUT! our service was terrible. We came in, was seated immediately. We sat for about 10 minutes looking around and our waitress finally showed up and just asked us "what we wanted to drink" we ordered our drinks one by one and she didn't say anything and she just walked away. Another 8 to 10 minutes she Showed up with our drinks and had to ask us who wanted what, she then told us her name by saying "o yeah! My name is..., do you know what you want to eat?" 2 of us didn't know what we wanted yet but we knew that 3 of us wanted the salad bar so we just told her that we needed a minute but we know 3 of us at least want the salad bar so we need 3 plates. She said "ok great!, I'll be right back" We waited literally 13 minutes looking around and never even seen her walking around. I got up and walked to the front counter and told a random young personnel that we ordered salad bar plate's almost 15 minutes ago and haven't seen our waitress since. They just handed me our 3 plates. We got our salads and had time to fully eat our salads, we ran out of drinks a long time ago and all of us were looking around so I got up for the second time and had to again walk up to the front counter and tell them we ran out of drinks 10 minutes ago and haven't seen our waitress in almost 30 minutes, finally someone walked with me to our table and refilled our drinks who wasn't our waitress. another I don't know 10 to 15 minutes later our mystery waitress finally showed up to take our orders!!!! It was 30 minutes from the time we told her we needed more time to decide what we wanted to eat but needed salad bar plates to the time she showed back up to our table to take our orders. We ordered what we wanted to eat. We just sat in silence at this point. The food came out in another 10 to 13 minutes by another random person from the kitchen we've never seen before. We didn't see our waitress again until we were done eating and sat forever all of us talking about something that made us talk forever before I realized we've been in this restaurant for an hour an 45 minutes! I once again had to get up and peek around the corner of a doorway of the bar area that was the kitchen area and saw our waitress standing in a circle of about 4 other very young staff chatting away just in the other side of the doorway!! I said hey! We're ready for our checks! She just quit talking and turned to get our check. I walked back to our table and she came out and didn't say anything just handed me the check on a plastic tray and walked away. I looked at it and realized it was for $107 $107 and had an absolutely terrible experience. This is what happens every single time you hire all very young staff. Everyone was ether teenagers or in their younger 20's and this is what you get. Absolutely terrible service. They only care about their social life.

Good food. Decent prices. Good service. Stays pretty full around mealtime. You can tell a good restaurant when the parking lot stays full.

This is a lovely little Chinese buffet restaurant. The location is convenient, being right on…read moreLawrenceburg's main strip, N. Locust Ave, Rte. 43. Next door is the Sunrise Bakery and across the street is the KFC. As soon as I arrived with my date, who was blind, our waitress, Sarah, didn't miss a beat and as she seated us asked if she can bring a "plate with walls." Neither of us knew what she was talking about and I'm not sure how we answered, but she came back with a large dinner plate which had high sides on it. It was similar to a casserole dish. She said that she has a blind friend and he finds a plate like this easier to use. It was one of the kindest acts either of us had experienced in a very long time. One of the most important things to say about *any* buffet is how fresh the food is. While we were there, cooks brought out freshly-cooked salmon not only once, but twice. That says a lot. The food selection was good, though not very extensive, but it's a very small restaurant. We noticed that while the kitchen was in the rear, there was also a cook preparing some food in the dining room on a hibachi grill. That's a nice touch. While the storefront is not particularly appealing, the inside is lovely, though the wallpaper and artwork could use some updating. That's okay, though... the important thing here is the excellence of the food; it is... and so are the people of this city. As we were ready to leave, our bill was brought to us that said one of the patrons had already paid for our dinner. That was incredibly kind, and a kindness that I will certainly pay forward. If you're traveling through Lawrenceburg, stop by the Chinese Oriental Buffet. You won't be disappointed.

Pretty small buffet. I was disappointed with the selection of food. Not many types of sushi and…read moremost of them had cream cheese which I don't care for in my sushi. Food did not stay hot long enough after putting on my plate. I did like the ice cream choices at the end. Pretty sure I will not be returning any time soon. Hostess/waitress was nice.
