Red Lantern Chinese Cuisine — Restaurant in Duluth

This is a really exceptional restaurant. The smokey wok flavor really comes through on the Seafood Vermicelli Chow Mei Fun / XO that I got. The Snow Pea Tips had good quality real crab meat in the egg sauce, and it tasted really fresh. The fried fish with XO sauce had a unique taste that I've never had before, and it might be the best fried fish I've ever eaten! I mixed some of the XO sauce and puffed rice from the fried fish with some white rice and made a whole new delicious flavor! The chili oil was really good, too. It's not as hot as I am used to, but it used Scechuan peppercorns like you are supposed to, instead of just red pepper flakes. The flavor was top-notch!

The food is served in the traditional Chinese family style, where they give you big serving dishes that are meant to be shared, and then everyone eats some of everything out of their own small bowls. If everyone gets their own thing, there is no way you will be able to finish.

All of the food tasted very fresh. I am excited to bring my family and friends here to let them try the food. I have to have that fish again. I'll try to post more pictures of the food the next time...

Red Lantern is inside the City Farmer’s Market food court, so don’t go expecting fancy décor or table service. You go here for the food, and it is absolutely worth it. The woman at the counter was friendly, helpful, and just a joy to deal with.

One of the best parts is that you can buy fresh seafood from the market and bring it to them to cook. We did this with lobster and fish, and they came out with some of the best dishes I have had in a long time. The ginger and scallion lobster was perfect, and the fish was cooked beautifully. Prices were very reasonable, especially considering the quality.

If you want a little bonus, just two stalls down there is a place called Xoi Che 1994 where I tried the sea foam coffee. It was fantastic and paired perfectly after such a rich meal.

All in all, Red Lantern is not about ambiance, but the food is top-notch. It is a hidden gem in a very...

I recently discovered this hidden gem. My MIL eats here with her Chinese friends and they rave about it and so I decided to give it a try. The restaurant is located inside the food court of City Farmers Market (Pleasanthill location). It’s so unassuming and quaint that I didn’t expect for the food to be THAT good. I love Canton Cook in Roswell but the trek is too far. I’m happy to say this restaurant is on par with Canton Cook if not better. They also do catering and can cook fresh seafood for you (you buy your own lobsters/crabs and they charge $3/lb fee to cook it for you). I recently catered from here to celebrate Vietnamese New Years and my entire family loved it. I hardly ever leave reviews but I want this establishment to thrive because I’m...
