"The nicest and most personable people, and the most delicious food. Very generous amounts. They truly appreciate your business and address all of their regular customers by name. My family has gone here for years and will for many years to come. The chicken with garlic sauce is the best you'll ever taste, but all of their offerings are truly exceptional. You will be very satisfied"

"Food was absolutely delicious and all very fresh. Chicken/ beef with broccoli, shrimp and scallop, garlic shrimp, garlic chicken, crag ragoon, egg rolls and steamed dumpling. Some of the best Chinese around. Don't let the Atmosphere denture you."

"My husband and I were staying in St. Johnsville and needed dinner at 8 PM on a Monday. There was not many options at that time. We saw that Red Lantern House was open so we went there. I am so happy we did! The food was delicious and the portions were huge! We enjoyed the wonton soup, shrimp with broccoli, and house special mei fun. Highly recommend!"

"Take-out only, but surprisingly good! I would venture to say that it's the best Chinese food I've had, hands down, since I came to the US. The chicken was tender, fragrant and juicy, just like real chicken should be, and the dish was the perfect amount of tasty--not too salty or spicy and not too bland. Vegetables were also tender, but not mushy, fresh and bright but not hard and warmed through like some places.The egg roll and fried rice could have been a little less chewy, and some of the fortune cookies a little fresher. Overall, though, I am beyond happy!"

"The food here is very good, it was ready on time, and everything I ordered was in the bag. Very reasonably priced and great quality. It's takeout only but it was very clean inside. The owner is very nice and personable. She'll remember you next time."

"The food is really really good, the people are super nice. They're always extremely friendly. The only real complaint I have is that sometimes it's really difficult to know when they're open. A lot of the time when I call no one answers. Hours would be greatly appreciated!"
