Cosy Vibes My “wife” and I, (who apparently got married the night before, according to the host) was recommended this place through a friend who celebrated their anniversary here — so we thought it would be a good idea to check it out for our own 5th anniversary. Seven Lanterns is a humble modern “Mediterrasian” style restaurant in the corner of Sylvania. We appropriately chose the 9 course celebration degustation for the occasion and was presented with a fantastic range of flavours and experiences that excited our taste buds. My favourite was “Take a Bao” — the deconstructed BBQ’d chilli marinated pork neck with lettuce and hoisin sauce, served with a super soft steamed bao bun was a delight. Hers was “The Prawn” — fresh, sweet and juicy, not overcooked or rubbery, served with a flame torched mornay sauce and topped with a honey soy glaze. What we thought was going to be a quiet, intimate night, ended up in tears.. tears of joy and laughter because not only did a bunch of boys celebrate a mate’s 21st birthday adjacent to our table (you can imagine how rowdy that would be), but David (our host) and the waiters were so hospitable, so attentive, and catered to all our needs. David not only cracked a few jokes keep the night fun and lively, but he made sure we felt right at home. My girlfriend and I highly recommend Seven Lanterns — whether you are looking for a cosy night in to celebrate an anniversary, or throwing a party — or simply interested in tasting the creative fusion between modern and Asian cuisine, be sure check this place out.

Let's start by saying I found about this place because my girlfriend loved one of the dishes from her childhood. I walked in without high expectations, I thought, 'Nicky hasn't come here in a long time, maybe it's not as good as she remembers it.' We started with the sumo dumplings. When they came out I looked at how crispy they were and wowww! Probably the best dumplings I've had! Then I thought, if anything, at least the dumplings were amazing! The next dish was Nicky's favourite, the prawns. First I tried the cheese and I thought, 'mmm really good!' Then I tried the cheese with the prawn and the sauce and I thought, 'nah that's it... I can't cook...' It was amazing! I've never had anything like it before- I was sucking on that shell until there was nothing left. I thought, if this is her favourite dish we have reached peak. Our last dish was beef short rib hot pot. I I've had this dish before so I thought it can't be that amazing. But when I tried it, boy I was wrong! You know how people say off the bone? This was actually off the bone! At other places the flavour is watery or bland, but this one packed so much flavour! It was perfect! Then the chef came and showed us how to eat it properly and it was even better!! I had a great experience, the service was the best, can't wait to go back! My girlfriend said 'I wish I could give them more than 5 stars!'

Hidden gem in the shire 💎💎I can’t believe I’ve lived in Sylvania for over 10 years and never tried this restaurant! It was an absolute pleasure to dine here with my friends on a Sunday night. It’s such a friendly vibe as mentioned by other Google reviewers, and I highly recommend it! ☺️ Since the restaurant was understaffed, one of the two chefs took our order and served us throughout the night. This was definitely a blessing in disguise as the chef was very passionate about each of the dishes and showed us the proper way to enjoy each dish. For example, the salmon ceviche is enjoyed best by wrapping the salmon around the salad/herbs, while the imperial beef hotpot soup is best enjoyed by throwing in the rice and letting it stew. Unfortunately, we were unable to order the kingfish, crab and prawn dishes since it all sold out the day before. Luckily there was one serving of the popcorn shrimp left - which was so delicious! My highlights were: salmon ceviche, imperial beef hotpot, popcorn shrimp, the angry bird sauce and the lamb cutlets! Definitely keen to come back and try the dishes we missed out on 👌 They also have some good set menus for those who might be struggling to decide what to order. Food pictured was for 6 people.

holy moly, this place honestly showed me how the 5-star-rated place should be. It was my first degustation experience and I was absolutely blown away by every dish that came out. My goodness, every bite was enchanting. Texture was amazing. I don't know anything about food. But eating 6 course meal made me think about how on earth a human being could come up with such brilliant food. I was here with mum, fiance, and a future mother-in-law. Even the next day we talked about how amazing the food was. We all revere the chef and the staff.. The boss did not even want to take our tips. When we insisted, he gave them to one of his staff. The place really changed the notion of people eating together😭... Great food brightend up our conversations.. Def. coming back.. Fiance said that this place was way better than other degustations he's been to.. including the one which cost $500 per person. WAY better. Services are top notch too..

Went there for the first time tonight… great experience! (Especially for someone with dietary requirements.) My parents went here for NYE and have been a few times since already. I have Crohn’s Disease and associated dietary requirements (largely vegan and onion/garlic free). When there one time they asked the chef if they could accommodate me - they were more than happy/able to whip up some custom dishes for me with a few days notice! When I got to the restaurant, the waitress said the chef had already prepped a few dishes for me based on my requirements/requests. The chef brought them out throughout the night and ran me through the details of each dish - all were super tasty! He even took on my request for vegan protein (tofu), which I’m not sure he normally has in the kitchen by the sounds of it. Beyond the food, the service was very lovely - waitress very helpful, and chef loved a good chat! Definitely recommend.
