To my surprise, I have never encountered subpar Thai cuisine until my recent visit. Despite having dined at over a dozen Thai restaurants, this particular establishment fell short of my expectations. The coconut shrimp was notably unappetizing, the vegetable rolls lacked flavor, and my entree was mediocre. Regrettably, my husband’s curry was devoid of any discernible taste.
Lantern is a solid spot for Thai food in Brooklyn Heights. From a Thai person, while the dishes aren’t 100% authentic compared to traditional Thai flavors, the food is still very tasty, fresh, and well-prepared. The curries are flavorful, the noodles are satisfying, and the portions are generous. The modern atmosphere and friendly service make it a great neighborhood go-to when you’re craving Thai. Not the most traditional, but definitely enjoyable!
I had a great experience at this restaurant yesterday it was clean, affordable, and I would love to come back. I shot a commercial for it editing the light because it was dim, but the dim lights was perfect. Would highly recommend anybody to go..
