Best reason to go to Chapel Hill – Admittedly I don't spend much time in the Chapel Hill area, but I will be going back very soon to revisit Lantern. What a killer spot- the decor is soothing and a nice change from the typical blonde wood and oil paintings in many establishments these days. It was pretty loud, probably because the ceilings are so high, but the food was outstanding and our serverw as great. I had the veggie spring rolls, the Moon Viewing noodles and hte panna cotta. Great reislings by the glass to compiment t... read more
Happening Place! – Definitely go for the food which is eclectic, great flavors, nice sized helpings that you can and should order with either a soup or a salad with your entree. Try to share a couple of appetizers with your friends. Best place to eat is in the bar area where the decor is nice but only if you like a crowded room. For a quieter experience if you want to converse sit in the dining area away from the bar. Beer selection is just OK, the only draft beer is a very wheaty German flavor, domestics by hte bottle.

Nice experience overall – The wait staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. Our waiter easily provided more information about the food and wine choices. The appetizers were excellent. Our table chose the summer rolls, salmon handrolls, and two different types of dumplings. The entrees were good, but not impressive - nowhere near the level of the appetizers. All of our choices were spicy, which we enjoyed, but we agreed that people who did not enjoy spicy foods would not have many options. The desserts were wonderful... read more
great food and scene – the new hot spot in chapel hill has great food, good servers and a cool bar. Menu is still limited though.
fresh and fun – I enjoyed my experience at Lantern last week. The staff was warm and friendly, service was attentive but not intrusive, and the food was delicious and well executed. I also applaud its design and decor...an improvement from its former life.
Excellent Asian Bistro – Small but worth the wait. Excellent authentic dishes from all parts of Asia, the food at Lantern is certainly worth the wait. A Chapel Hill treasure!
Excellent Food! – We really enjoyed the many dinners we've eaten at Lantern. The service was excellent, the atmosphere was really enjoyable and we will keep going back. They are a great addition to West Franklin St.
