The food was as delicious as always and we were very well looked after by waiting team. A great atmosphere too. I would highly recommended Lanterns.
Another great evening. The smoked chicken is to tasty. The service was great. Only small issue is that it does get really loud as they are always so busy but that must be The sign of a good restaurant.
Amazing food with lot's of choice, quick and friendly service, even though it was a busy evening. Would definitely recommend trying here. A lovely evening out. Thank you!!
Fantastic food, fantastic service, very good evening, clean and tidy, second time our dart team has been there and we would return later on in the year.
I love lanterns, the food is absolutely delicious and the staff are so friendly ☺️
The food was great, service friendly and attentive and they catered well for a group of our size (24). I will be visiting here again!
Lovely restaurant, and great food. Service was always excellent, and I would highly recommend Lanterns to anyone. The food is cooked fresh, and is always good.
lovely food as always great and hot friendly staff. always clean
Fabulous food, lovely staff, great value! That's why we visit this restaurant time and time again! Love the Dim Sum menu and the lunchtime set menu.
Food was great, service was good, noise levels were quite loud at times ...
we had the buffa menu. the food was very good, lots on the menu to chose from. we would differently go again and take some friends with us
Excellent. The restaurant was very busy, but the staff were efficient, attentive and friendly. I had booked a table for 6, but when another member of our family joined us at the last minute, the manager went to fetch another table to add onto ours to give us all more room to spread out. The food was plentiful, freshly cooked, hot and absolutely delicious. Great value for money, will be back again
Very tasty lunch selected from the lunch menu with great friends. Surprised that they shut for lunch at 2pm prompt turning people away at 1.45pm.
Great night food and service from staff was first class, had a very enjoyable night. As the night was valentines theme with set menus well worth the visit.
Its one of our favorite places to go to when eating out with the family. And just like before, food was great, very quick service and friendly staffs.
Food was fantastic and service good to, drinks a bit pricey but I guess u expect that We will deffo be back again soon Thanks
Food quality and service could not have been better. Had the buffet menu which is as good as any a ka Carte menu I have ever seen but better value
Food and service were flawless. We had 3 waitresses and all were brilliant. All our chicken and duck dishes were fab and we will be back many more times.
Great place, very bright, clean, staff very helpful, service was a little slow, but they were very busy. Food quality was exceptional. I would recommend a visit.
Fantastic atmosphere, delicious food, fabulous company and great service all made for a thoroughly enjoyable evening had by a party of 16 of us. Best Chinese in Ipswich by far. And they do take away - result!
We had the buffet with a difference. There was a menu where you can pick your starters, as many as you like. The same happens for all courses and you can go back to any course at any time. Great staff and a great atmosphere. Highly recommended.
Booked for 7.30pm on a Wednesday, Dinner for seven people, big round table with revolving centre, great atmosphere food very good and service excellent. Would highly reccomend
Lovely food and great service just needs a little lick of paint and improve the rest room area. The location is not in the best area so be aware of a few drunks walking past to and from the pub scene
Food - Fantastic, tasty, delicious, highly recommend. Service, an absolute disaster... I booked as a surprise Birthday meal, having visited on numerous occasions before, and what an absolute shock. Disappointing. Rude waitress. Lengthy wait for food. Ruined Birthday cake surprise. 17 in my party, most of whom had to rush off due to car parking restrictions as I was told 2 hrs, 12-14, and at 14.40 the cake was yet to be delivered to the table. No, other than my party it was not busy, 5 other customers in total, of whom complained also! The starters took an hr to arrive! Unable to process bill for individuals so that they could leave. Birthday surprise shambles! I would highly recommend the food every time, but the service really was lacking. It may have been a one off having visited often and never happened before, but all 17 guests had negative feedback and I as the organiser felt extremely embarrassed..
Had a lovely time. Food was very good but the price of drinks is way too high. Buying a beer is cheaper than a glass of coke and the Rose was OTT as well.
clean and well presented will use again if one down side the drinks service was sporadic and slow but otherwise an overall great night out
Lovely atmosphere. Amazing food. Amazing service. Good value for money. Welcoming and friendly staff. Something for everyone. Fair prices. Would always recommend to anyone looking for a Chinese buffet restaurant.
lovely friendly staff food is always great. will be going back very soon
We visited between Christmas and New Year with a group of friends. Delicious food, nice round table, and pleasant staff meant we had a good evening there.
Lovely staff, great food and nice ambience made this a great meal for myself and my wife. We will defiantly return and next time with the family !
The best!! You’ll never have a bad Chinese buffet here, highly recommended
Great service, lovely food and nice atmosphere Have already rebooked to go again
The food was good and the staff friendly - but the restaurant was too hot too bright and really noisy it felt more like a lunchtime in a school canteen. Sorry
The food we had was great but it took an hour per course to arrive on the table 1hour from arrival to starters and drinks almost 25 min to arrive then almost an hour between courses too long.
The restaurant really was lovely. The food was delicious and the staff were friendly and helpful. Thank you for having us and we'll be back soon.
Food wasn’t as hot as it should have been and pork dish was very dry, this made the experience a bit disappointing for my birthday
Lovely restaurant very clean. Excellent food, excellent service will definitely be revisiting in the near future. Can’t fault anything we were very very happy. My daughter and cousin who I was with can’t wait to go back.
very good service, friendly staff and food quality was very good. The décor was nice not over the top, very good location for shopping, bars and the cinema. Will defiantly be going back
A very enjoyable experience. Staff were friendly, service was good, and food was of a good standard. We did not feel rushed, it made for a good evening. Will visit again.
Lovely food and service. Even through it was very busy with Christmas parties, we were not forgotten and the waitresses were very attentive and friendly. Amazing food loved it!
