One of my favorite places in Boston. It's not as expensive as people say- they give good portions and everything's extremely fresh and delicious! Also their drinks are strong and I'm no lightweight

All you can eat sushi on Tuesdays is such a great deal. They use such high quality ingredients and every roll is killer

Red Lantern is the perfect mix of bar , restaurant , and lounge . Upscale Asian dining with great atmosphere and awesome service! TIP: You can charge your phone near the bathrooms downstairs.

The New style California roll and the Ronin roll were superb!! Also must order the rock shrimp tempura and the lobster rangoons as appetizers !! 👌

Decorated with Buddhas and populated by scantily clad cocktail waitresses , Red Lantern has a night-life vibe. But tasty snacks , sushi , and steaks make it more than just a scene. Read more

Upscale Asian food with high-energy ambiance. Noodle and rice entree portions are very large - big enough to share!

Holly C

The steak and chicken skewers were good. However the chicken fried rice and short ribs lacked flavor. I'd find another couple of dishes to try. The sake was fantastic!

Gilt City

We like our sushi served with a scenem and Red Lantern delivers with a beautiful open kitchen , dressed-to-impress crowd and to-die-for décor.

Natal Queen cocktail is a must, if not only for the Instagram!

Go to the bathroom downstairs! The ones upstairs are single occupancy only and most people go there since it's on the main floor.

Well I had a good time; however, if it is the winter and you need to check your coat, NEVER GO HERE! IT WILL BE STOLEN! Such a shame since this place had promise.

Noodle and rice dishes are stupid huge - one per two people is plenty
