Red Lantern Darlinghurst Vietnamese Restaurant & Private Dining Room ⭐

My wife and I had a great night in Red Lantern.The food were delicious,fresh,great presentation also had a lot different options for a la carte,feed me menu.we broth love the crab cakes,roasted beef salad,especially the wok tossed jumbo tiger prawns and shaking beef,so yummy.😋⭐️👍 The service was excellent,the staffs so nice and warm hearted ⭐️the atmosphere was charming and warm. We definitely will be back soon.

My partner and I came here for dinner on a busy Saturday evening. We had a booking at 8:30pm, the place was busy throughout the evening until when we left at 11pm. We had the Feed Me banquet menu. There were a total of 7 delicious, mouth watering and beautifully presented Vietnamese dishes. The food was full of flavours, every dish was tasty. I was even more impressed with the service: the lady who waited our table (a Western looking lady) was extremely pleasant, kind and attentive; she cleaned our table several times between courses (something I don’t normally see even in expensive fine dining restaurants). The atmosphere was very cozy, the restaurant was beautifully lit with warm light and the deco reminds you of old Vietnamese charm. A total winner from chef Luke Nguyen!

We are huge fans of Luke's restaurant in the Brisbane treasury casino and go many times each year... perhaps that means we had unreasonable expectations for Red Lantern. On our recent trip to Sydney, Red Lantern was on our 'must do ' list....we wish we'd gone somewhere else. The good...the staff and the service was impeccable. But the food whilst perfectly good was just that 'good'.... we had expected great and hoped for exceptional. The meals were very small and very expensive. The space was small and the tables were very close together. Despite no large groups and no seemingly noisy guests the atmosphere was very noisy. I'm sure that there must be many Sydney restaurants that would be better for the same price or cheaper for the same quality and quantity.

Had a private room set dinner for a friend’s birthday this week and was very impressed by the food quality and overall dinning experience. I was expecting the food to be too sweet for my liking but it wasn’t. The flavours were on the whole quite balanced, not too sweet or salty and quite delicious. The highlight for me was the blue swimmer crab cakes, the pan fried barramundi and the roast pork. We had a great time and happy to give this place a top review.

Wait staff were very professional, courteous and attentive. Ambiance is relaxed and not pretentious (slightly loud at times but comfortable). Food is phenomenal with every dish being quite unique and very fresh. Many reasons to return to this place!

Careful everyone. If you don’t give them a 5 star glowing review then they will get really really defensive rather than take on board the feedback. Because if you come here you MUST like the food, service and everything else. So I am here to give them 5 stars to make them happy.

Superb!! Not cheap but gorgeous dishes. And the service was also wonderful: informal but friendly & considerate. I would strongly recommend the daily banquet. A good mix of different flavours and textures but also great value. 👍 Oh, probably not a good choice if you're not into spicy food.

We were very impressed with all aspects of Red Lantern. The food we ordered had an incredible depth of flavour and was perfectly cooked. The portion sizes were very generous. The service was courteous and efficient and the restaurant itself had lovely ambience. We will be returning!
