Red Lantern Darlinghurst Vietnamese Restaurant & Private Dining Room ⭐

Very authentic food and lovely service. Really enjoyed everything we ordered from prawn stuffed zucchini flowers, mushroom dumplings, chilli salted quid, crispy rice and prawns, delicious and tender pork cutlet and barramundi in curry. Will definitely revisit AAA+

Had a dinner date with my partner here on a Saturday night recently. It must be 10 years since i was last at the red lantern and my first time visiting the darlinghurst venue. There's a lovely atmosphere to the restaurant with the teak furniture, red finishings, tiles, photos, and lighting. It does feel like certain interiors in Vietnam. Food was delicious. We had squid and corn cakes for entrees, chargrilled chicken and beef stir fry for main. The food was delicious, just as I remembered the red lantern to be. Service was friendly and breezy. Nice evening

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!

Quirky place with a barber 💈 out the back. Restaurant was full all evening. We had the small banquet (the boys had the large) and it did not disappoint. The barramundi was sensational. We found the timber seats very uncomfortable but the food makes up for it - our wait staff were very good and helpful. We had a great evening. We shall return l!

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.

A really enjoyable dining experience. All the dishes were cooked beautifully and full of flavour. The service was wonderful. The restaurant was full but not noisy. We tried the specials and my favourites were the rice cakes and the prawn sugercane. We also tried the 3 desserts and they were spectacular. I am not a fan of Asian desserts but these were at another level.
