Lantern House

Ambience and customer service was great during my visit. ordered take-aways but picked it up from the restaurant myself so i was able to have look and feel of the environment. paid parking is available around the area. 1st time ordering from the restaurant and the food was good.

The best chinese restaurant in essex, if not more. i have been visiting the lantern house since i was a child and it has never disappointed me. food is amazing, restaurant is clean and quiet, staff are attentive and friendly. truly an amazing place.

Received a warm welcome on arrival. the restaurant and our sharing dishes were beautifully presented and the food was varied and delicious. our servers were very attentive and their recommendations were perfect. needless to say i highly recommend this restaurant ~ we had a very enjoyable evening

Used to come here 20 years ago, came back for a family meal january ‘23 and still just as delicious! quick and friendly service, great tasting food, good prices. eight of us, served promptly with all our dishes and drinks. lovely job 😃

Food 5/5 come here for quality. we have chosen lantern house for years and nowhere in chelmsford has beaten it. went with a friend who regularly dines out and he still says it's the best chinese restaurant that he's been to. the owner is very pleasant and regularly reviews her food against other chinese restaurants, knowing the reputable places in london. advance booking we always book ahead if going on a friday night as it is usually full including a line for collection. recommended: ribs in peking sauce, satay chicken, sesame prawn toast, duck, prawns in garlic sauce (with carrots and spring onions), egg fried rice and banana fritters. value 4/5 prices have gone up everywhere. if i compare what i had at joy king lau recently vs here, the outlay was similar at £45-£50 per person (including alcohol + tip) however, it was much better here.
