We are NYC transplants. Our loft was steps from Nobu. We were pretty much resigned to never eating good Asian food again until trips back to NYC or abroad. Imagine our stunned shock at stumbling upon this little gem in the midst of horse country. And judging by the early crowds last Saturday night, the secret is out!
The service is impeccable; the host-owner will make you feel like you just stepped off a plane in Asia to family. Have some sake, spicy edamame and absorb the lovely decor.

Read moreMy wife wrote the wrong amount on our copy of the receipt so I thought we were overcharged. I also panicked and thought Red Lantern had shut down, because when I googled it I got a listing for Red Lantern at another location in Long Valley and it said it was permanently closed and I called the number and got a disconnect. I was trying to call them first before posting a review to see if it was an accident or mistake. So I thought we were scammed and wrote a negative review, and I am correcting it here. I didn't eat there that day so I can't testify as to the food, but the management worked hard to correct the situation and I give them...
