Please leave a review for the Lantern House

The Lantern House in St Albans has a menu which says “The Best in Town”. I would go as far to say the “Worst in Town”. For a start the mixed hors d’oeurves at £9 was pathetic. 4 tiny pieces of prawn toast, 2 tiny spring rolls, 2 fatty spare ribs and a couple of spoons of seaweed. It was also supposed to include satay chicken, but they must have run out because that wasn’t included in the delivery. This was then followed by Chicken in black pepper sauce. I would assume they must shop at the cheapest wholesaler as the chicken was the worst quality I have eaten, it certainly wasn’t breast meat. The noodles were nice and the rice is very hard to get wrong. The menu is now in the bin and I shan’t be using them again.

Being Malaysian Chinese, we find it difficult to find a decent Chinese restaurant in St Albans. 3 days ago, we visited Lantern House and the food is delicious! We ordered the Sweet  Sour Pork Hong Kong Style, House Special Chow Mein and Malaysian Nasi Goreng. We gobbled down the food as they are very tasty. We actually had the food in the takeaway shop as they have 2 small tables there so the pork is still crispy. The chef is from Hong Kong (the land of fabulous Chinese food) compared to most takeaways that employ chefs from China. We will definitely be visiting soon... next week...

I have gone to this Take Away so many times it is un-countable. I think the person who wrote that last message, should grow up. Obviously, he/she doesn't know what proper Chinese food is...

Food delicious
