Try the Drunken Angel if it's on the cocktail list . Gin , watermelon juice and a shiso salt rim...stupid good!

Absolutely recommend Lantern. If you haven't been you are missing it. Best meal, drinks, and dessert I've had in a very long time!

Everything is great, especially the cocktails and pork shank . It's a ton of food.

Check out the bar in the back of the restaurant . The urban, chic atmosphere is out of this world. The picture I added of the lanterns is from the bar .

I found the junebug too sweet but loved Korean fried chicken + Vietnamese spring rolls . Skip the salmon tartar .

The bar in the back is my favorite place to go for cocktails in Chapel Hill. Get the Junebug for a refreshing summer drink !

Wish it was a little darker in the dining room so I could lick my plates without anyone seeing. It's THAT good.

The lantern is the ultimate romantic dinner spot. The food is impeccable.

Try the Spicy Orange / Pacific Rim martini . It's made with Thai chili-infused vodka . Definitely one of my favorite cocktails in Chapel Hill.

Great food, fun cocktails , prefer the bar in the back????

Craft cocktails . Asian fusion . Upscale bar . Patio .

Love the bar in the back. The June Bug is my fave cocktail !

Try the whole fish for the entree and top it off with a chocolate lava cake with ice cream !

The lychee vodka is one of my favorites! This place reminds me of cozy NYC bars , love it!

Salt and pepper shrimp and pork dumplings !

Best restaurant in chapel hill! Flat iron steak was to die for--get it rare for best flavor. Also had a great tea chicken that was very tender.

Excellent bar in the back. Get a dark and stormy or bourbon cocktail .

Amazing meal. Bento box was excellent.

The bar has a late night menu! Try the pork or mushroom dumplings . They're both quite tasty.

Try the Strange Acquaintance in the bar !!! Wes and Rick are the best!!!

The crab cakes are the best I've ever had. Anywhere. Ever.

The bento box is excellent

Persimmon pudding is pretty much the most delicious thing ever.

Tom yum soup is the best. also highly recommend tea chicken

Go eat in the bar ; you can usually get a table without a reservation faster than you can in the main dining room

The bar is magical, suspended in black lacquered space.

Unreasonably small servings. Under seasoned most dishes ????

Ask for a gold rush.

Korean Chicken appetizer is incredible!

Veggie dumplings are amazing!!! And offered late night !!

Outstanding food and service! The bar is awesome, too!

Go to the lantern an order up a meatball sub !
