Review:

Red Lantern is one of those restaurants you make an excuse to visit. For us, it's the first place we take visitors from overseas and our 'regular' Valentine's Day dinner venue. And for those between visits - Pauline and Luke Nguyen's beautiful recipe book 'Secrets of the Red Lantern' satisfies our cravings. The service is friendly even when the restaurant is busy (which is always), and the food is consistently fresh, spicy and very reasonably priced. My recommendations: Bo Tai Chanh (lemon cured sirloin), Ga Chien Don (crispy skin chicken cooked in master stock) and Bi Cuon Chay (fresh vegetarian rice paper rolls).
