What a great place. The food is excellent, as is the staff. A little pricey but well worth it. Perfect date place as well. I hope you come and visit. You wont be disappointed

Pls note!! Dress properly I missed it today coz wearing shorts and flipflop, staffs are friendly, good environment :) I will comeback next Friday.

Food and atmosphere is great. I really enjoyed the sushi and other appetizers that I had there. Also great music and place turns into a club at night.

This place is a great vibe for a dinner. Great place for big groups. The lighting is perfect and the music is kept to a low to enjoy group conversations. The ambience in general is good and the decorations inside are super cool.Beer collection is passable. The service just took a really long time and portions were huge. Average choices of vegetarian food. Theyll customize the food according to how you want it.

The place is phenomenal in terms of the overall design and space itself. While its dimly lit it feels very spacious but doesnt feel like youre out of space even if you go in there with shirts/shorts (which I did...).The service was fantastic. In fact our sushi came out so fast it probably took less than five minutes. Granted, we did go there around 4pm on Saturday so it wasnt crowded at all.Now the 1-star deduction is the sushi itself. Unfortunately for the price (I get it, its Boston), the overall experience of the sushi was around 6 out of 10. The rolls were beautifully presentation wise. A bit too much on the rice that wasnt as plump and one roll had rice packed so tightly it made the bite rather strong. There was more vegetable and rice than the the actual fish itself. The fish was very much underwhelming. Weve had much better sushi in other places in that sense.Their Korean BBQ was one of the best we had though. VERY tender and seasoned just right.Overall, the experience and the staff were very professional and we had a great time. A little disappointed with the sushi but we are a bit of a sashimi and sushi snobs so take it with a grain of salt. It is fresh so if youre not picky you cannot go wrong.

Absolutely fantastic! Unique food options and preparation. Service was amazing...seemed like the food came out within minutes of ordering but never felt rushed. Actually allowed us to try a variety of things and share. Great bar scene!

I had a great supper, the environment is very quiet, service is great and the food was good.

It was really nice place to hangoutUnfortunately they are closed now

Tuesday is all you can eat sushi which is a great deal. The appetizers are pretty good. Staff is awesome.

All the statues around the restaurant are super creepy, not gonna lie. But, the food is great! Tried sushi here for the first time and it was delicious! The shef prepared each roll quickly and beautifylly.

I had appetizer, few sushi and chicken. Everything was good. Not sure about the menu of white wine.

Upsacle restaurant. Very nice ambience. Food is served hot and on time.We tried: island mai tai, bamboo juice and Bombay jewel.Apps: lobster rangoons, veg spring roll(best veg spring roll ever had), scallion pancakes.Main: crunchy roll sushi, green monster(best veg sushi). Tik tok chicken and house fried rice.

The place is beautiful and the bar is sexy. Had a great time here from the front door. Was greeted right away and seated in a good location to check out the whole place. The food was good and service was prompt. Tasty food, service with a smile and very yummy drinks. If I lived in Boston this would be my regular place! If I’m here again I would come back. Decor and music selection are on point!The only thing my fiancé mentioned was that the menu was disorganized and the dishes didn’t make a lot of sense. “It was hard put things together”- he says. I feel that more complex maki didn’t seem creative enough for the price tag. I feel that the basic maki would be an ok substitute. Menu did strike me as disorganized as well. It felt like drinks were the focus at this place. The quality of food was top notch though.

It shows they’re open on google but they’ve been shut down since covid started and didn’t even change that to reflect on google. Took an Uber all the way here for nothing. Pretty dumb not to change it to closed.

Great drink selection, tasty food. Nice atmosphere at night.

Cool space, hot bar tenders, strong drinks. Overpriced.

Really impressive abiam. Food is good. A little bit overpriced.

Atmosphere is great and very red. They food was OK. They do have large portions sizes

Great place! Lobster Rangoons and char sui noodles are the best!

Great food, solid hospitality (thank you Armani!). Really enjoyed dinner here. Food quality, doneness and freshness are splendid. Would definately recommend to friends. The only downside was how long we needed to wait to retrieve our car from the valet, so if youre heading here on a weekend, I suggest giving the claim ticket to the valet a good 20-30 mins before you intend to leave.

Great place with great drinks. We went for dinner and at around 10ish it starts converting into a lounge with a DJ. Great vibe and good music! We were actually heading to a club after dinner but we didnt wanna leave! Also cool ceiling

Good food, VERY large portions. The vibe is a bit clubby — there’s even a DJ playing music — but it’s not so loud that you can’t have a conversation. As a vegetarian, I didn’t have too many options, but settled on the mapo tofu which was very flavorful.

If you are looking for a trendy, stylish, tasty but cacophonous dining experience , this place is it. The Island Mai Tai was a true surprise - served in a frozen coconut which concealed the stingy portion. Pu-pu platter was delicious, as were the noodle and rice dishes. The DJ creates a nice vibe with excellent tracks but it is way too loud and we - and our waiter - couldnt hear each other over the din. This is perfect for those who prefer to listen or who are expert lip readers. Service? Poor. Waiter didnt know the offerings on the menu, went missing for long stretches of time and the bill was delivered by a stand-in. Bottom line: bring your appetite, your earplugs, and your own wait staff.

The food was amazing. Staff were very attentive. A bit crowded but it was new years eve..

I was a bit disappointed in this place last night. I came for my first time 2 weeks ago for the club/lounge experience and had a blast!However, dinner last night was a dud. Not even because of the food but because of service. My party of 4 arrived promptly for our 7:45pm reservation. The place was not busy, perhaps 5 tables in total. The host made us wait to set up a table, when there were plenty of empty tables. After about 5-10 mins we got seated at a table that was already set...from when we arrived. Our server was sweet but did not come to the table for a bit of time. We got martinis that were too sweet, for my taste at least. For food, we got the duck which was quite delicious! pancakes were not your traditional ones but still okay. Portions for the steak and chicken were also large which was nice. Towards the end of the night our waters were no longer being refilled and after asking someone on a refill they never came back for 20 minutes. I had to personally go up to someone to find water.Overall, not the kind of service I was hoping to get from a highly rated and $$$ restaurant. Food was good but the overall experience was eh. :/

Great place. The decor is very zen like, to say the least but with a modern twist. Red lanterns and tons of Buddha statues greet you. I had the sushi and the beef and chicken fried rice. The sushi was amazing and the fried rice was what you expect from a classic dish. Loved both dishes. The price is little too high but that’s probably because of the portions they serve. It’s a great place.

Not your typical chinese food..its better.. with great atmosphere and music.. a little pricey but well worth the price.

I would recommend Red Lantern for a friend looking to have more of a wild night, but not for a birthday good time dinner and drinks. I left in my specifications of my reservation that it was a birthday, and the options for this event were never specified or given to me. The food was okay, not too amazing or tasty.I did not like the DJ at all. Very inconsistent with the music genres, you could be listening to the 2000s and the next 20 seconds be listening to High school musical Troy and Gabriella and then 2019 rap. We also payed for two tables, and our space was completely violated by another group that had like a party of about 20 people in just one or two tables. This made the experience super uncomfortable because we didn’t have any space to dance or stand without being pushed. We did spend a considerable amount of money that night, we would think we could at least sip from our drinks without them getting spilled from so much pushing.Our waiter was super nice ! And so was the promoter. But the ambiance over all for a birthday dinner and party was completely different than expected. The birthday cake that we ordered was so hard that the birthday person didn’t even eat it. Putting a spoon through it required a hammer.I would come back to red lantern, just not for any special occasion. This reminded me of a house party in college: sweaty and messy.

Excellent japanese food! Nice atmosphere and very good customer service! Rock shrimp tempura are amazing.

It has a nice urban retro vibe... The resturant has the expose interior brick and steel beam however it also has a decor of a edm sport...The staff are pleasant and it is right in Back Bay... There is a vele parking, after 6pm steet parking and parking garages nearby, ita also close to the subway.

Unbelievable gorgeous decor, potent drinks and great food. Perfect for a celebration if you dont mind splurging on the bill

Being from NY.... This restaurant reminded me a lot of Tao NYC. Trendy atmosphere, Asian fusion cuisine, and a good looking crowd.

We had a large group of 11 and were sat at a large, round table. This was great! and the center of the table spun around so ti was easy to share food. The waiter was really nice, but forgot or didnt hear someone at the table order an appetizer on 2 separate occasions. Once when everyone else did, and another time before the meals came out. After the meals arrived he did not check on the table for a while. All the fried food, like calamari, were very salty. at the end of the meal we tried to order coffee but were told they only had decaf and they offered us an Espresso Martini. Later this was confirmed with the manager who said they ran out earlier that day. This was a better explanation than the waiter gave, but still, there is a coffee shop next door that they could have bought some from before they closed.

We’ve made a reservation but our ride hit a traffic jam and we were 15 minutes late. We called ahead of time and were assured it was not a problem. Asked to wait 10 minutes for a table and 1 hour later we were still waiting. Not good. Service was good. Food and s good but be aware of spicy dishes. Price is reasonable bit more on expensive side.

Quick review:Pros:- Food is good and pretty fresh- Interesting take on Asian Fusion- Decor is very niceCons:-Waiters could work on their manners; asked if they had Uni and the waiter just respond No with no follow up, not the best manners- not sure if it matters, as an Asian, I was with a party of other Asians and we did not feel very welcome.:Fuller Review:The night we went, we were the only Asians in the place, we got a lot of looks but I dont think thats the restaurants fault. The waiter and host seems to have given us some attitude when we asked about the menu.Overall, enjoyed the decor and food, Im willing to give it a second chance

Beautiful ambiance but a bit loud due to the size of the space and all the brick walls. The food is creative, nicely presented and tasty, too. Definitely worth trying if youre interested in an Asian fusion upscale experience.

Fushion Japanese n Chinese menuExcellent taste. Excellent ambiance. Good service. I enjoyed All what I ordered. Didnt get the chance to order dessert.

Good drinks 🍹 and a nice choice of entrées

Loved the service we received during Dollar Dumpling night! No pics were taken because the food was so good. Menu is a bit pricey but it is well worth it! The atmosphere and ambiance are amazing! Will go again for sure! Cant forget to mention the AMAZING Rock Shrimp Tempura sharable plate! SOOOOOO GOOD!!! I need more!

Sushi Unlimited every Tuesday night is the best way to do it if you come here for sushi. They have a variety of rolls available to choose from for this promotion whereas other places that offer similar deals often only offer simple California or salmon rolls. Rock Roll was my personal favorite.

One of my favorite restaurants in Boston. The atmosphere is really cool and their food is amazing. The lo mein tastes fresh and delicious, and the portion size is good for sharing. We always bring guests to this restaurant when they visit town

Nice and hip Asian cuisine in Boston’s back bay. The food is very good and I think I’ve tried basically every single item. It is more expensive than you’d expect but the portions are also way bigger than your standard Asian spot. The managers Ray & Alejandro were very friendly and welcoming to my large group that had a very minor delay with our reservation due to it being very busy.

Really dope spot for a night out and dancing. Chiller vibe with a lot of great looking people. VIP tables look lame and not worth it. Very spacious and great DJ when I went on a Saturday night. Great spot if you want to go out and meet someone.

Overpriced American Asian food.

Food is great, will come back. Made reservations, glad we did - got crowded. People working there very nice.

Had a wonderful dinner with my wife and our 3 kids. The restaurant is beautiful and sparkling clean. We did have reservations, so they took us straight to our table without a wait. The menu has so many great choices that it was hard to choose. Our waitress explained all the dishes we were interested in and helped us with our selection. She did warn us that the portions were large but we went ahead and ordered more than enough. The portions are HUGE. Quality of the food was exceptional.... no processed foods here. Loved it and we will be back next time we’re in Boston.

Sat for a while (~20-25mins) without being greeted by our waiter, but management recognized that and came over and gave us a round of drinks and an app on the house! I was very appreciative of that and have been to this restaurant multiple times and will continue to come back! Great food and GREAT drinks! Just wish they would bring back the original spicy edamame that they had years ago!

Good sushi and drinks! 👍🏼

I absolutely love red lantern! Its the perfect place for a night out, date night or even just going to grab a quick drink after work. I went on a weekend night and had myself a blast with a few friends! We each ordered a couple of cocktails, each time they were different and each time they were delicious... not to mention the food! Super tasty and will definitely be back for more (:

Excellent food. Varied menu. Friendly and efficient staff. Found us a table within 5 minutes. The restaurant was not too “Hip” for us two sixty somethings, we thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere. Just what we needed after three weeks of standard American fare. Will go again if we get the chance.

A very different restaurant stay away from the appetizers the beef skewers were very tough the chicken dish was very salty. Do not bring kids to this location there is nothing on the menu that they would like in fact the staff had a hard time with my request to put White rice in a bowl for the kids. The children didnt even like the chicken wings. Stick to the main courses the sushi was not bad. Theres something about paying $19 for fried rice it was just okay

One star deducted because we had to wait almost an hour past our reservation for our table, but—the food was incredible! The wait staff was largely great, the hostesses were very friendly and fun, though our waiter was a little odd. Would definitely come back again to see if it’d be worth 5 stars!

The deals are brilliant - wing crush Wednesday is my favorite cz it has the spicy teriyaki flavor which you dont find in many places. The dollar dumplings Thursday deal is also great !

What a great time. Had a blast the atmosphere was amazing Sushi was good, music was on point. Def making a second trip.. and the best part the parking across the street was only $10... IN BOSTON. Love it.

Nice atmosphere, cool decor, reminds me of Budda-bar. As a group of 4; we ordered a shared dish called fishermans boat (recommended for 4 to 6 people). I was pleased our group was only 4 as the food tasted great, we easily cleared the deck. I would definitely order it again.

I was turned away before I even got the chance to walk through the doors but still managed to have a horrible experience. Handed the bouncer my (real) ID so he could scan it. He came back with my ID which he bent and said scanned as fake. I was like okay well it’s not and pulled out my (also real) passport. My guy looked at it with the most puzzled look as if it were a Rubik’s cube and asked where I had been. I told him that the passport was just issued to me in May so I hadn’t had the chance to travel the world??? He told me he didn’t feel comfortable serving me. A complete injustice.

Hubnt brought me to this dark restaurant.... Super romantic vibes although I was to tired for it... Ordered a bunch of typical plates such as dumplings, scallion pancakes, sushi and it was so good. Didnt want to share with my hubby who enjoyed his steak order.The food was also pretty... Server was nice... Manager was super nice!Will go back again

There are mixed reviews for this restaurant but don’t be put off. We went there a couple of nights ago and had a really good meal. The waiter was very helpful explaining the menu to us and how big the portions were! We had a very interesting, varied dinner and it was only the amount of fried rice that defeated us in the end. My only slight criticism, and this shows my age, was that it was a bit dark. It is a young venue and therefore has a good vibe, with loud music and dimmed lighting. We thoroughly enjoyed it.

I havent had a single bad menu item yet after multiple visits. I love going right when they open when its still quiet. Can get noisy with music and other guests in the later evening hours. Take your pick. Either way its not much of an issue. Great service.

Wonderful sushi selection. Huge food portions. I got the rock roll, crunchy roll and salmon bomb. Must try these things.THEY ALSO HAVE ALL YOU CAN EAT SUSHI ON TUESDAYS FOR ONLY $25 SO WORTH it!

Great service, great food. We went on a Thursday evening. Had reservations for 4 at 7pm. We were seated immediately and our waitress, Grace, took our drink order for non-alcoholic beverages. She walked us through the menu and helped us pick out a drink for the table. We decided on the shipwreck, not too sweet, not too much alcohol; and it was on fire! Heftier bill than you will find in Chinatown, but far surpasses in quality and atmosphere.

Love how the restaurant is decorated, the asian fusion cuisine and its drinks added to the great service you get from the staff make this restaurant a great recommendation for family and friends!

Called an Uber after a night out at Red Lantern but the guards and bouncers wouldnt let us wait inside for the Uber so we were left outside in the cold. Very poor service. Would not recommend.

It is a very Westernized Asian fusion restaurant. The service was slightly slow on a Friday night but the waiters were very professional and courteous. The food flavors were a mix of many different cuisines (Indian, Thai, Chinese, Japanese) so nothing really stood out as being exceptionally amazing. Good for special occasions.

A bit pricey, but overall, good food and large portions and a nice ambiance.

I assisted to an event during an ecommerce conference at this restaurant. Food was really great. We had some veggie dumplings, pork spring rolls, fried chicken noodle. Staff was attentive and made sure everything was going smooth and well. Only one bad remark, some orders came out after the end of the event.

Food: Delicious. Tuesday is an all you can eat sushi for $25 a person, well worth it. I highly recommend the Tuna Tempura - hot, crunchy/fried rollService: Great, friendly.Atmosphere: Nice decor, cozy and dimly lit, but music is too loud and doesnt allow you to speak at a normal level.

Great night spot. Went after work. Expensive Chinese food but great atmosphere and service. Fun spot for groups or couples. Open table reservations accepted. Interior and staff make it work.

Fantastic Asian Fusion Food. The quality and the flavor they provide is in generous proportions that are ideal sized for a group or a family. We highly recommend Red Lantern for anyone who likes Chinese Food. You will be impressed as we are. Both our waiter and the manager, Ray Ramirez were delightful hosts.

Great food. Very definitely on the pricier side but you pay for the setting and vibes. Definitely a place for a fancy date.

My daughter had 2 orders of salmon sushi and that evening she felt very sick. She woke up vomiting at 3:00 am. Very disappointing in getting food poisoning from such a high end place. After that experience my daughter never wants to look at sushi again. Caution, to stay healthy, stay AWAY from this restaurant.

We ordered what our waiter suggested, 2 appetizers and 3 entrees. It was all delicious and different. Great flavors and presentation Well be back!

Good vibe, excellent food with a large variety menu . The Singapore noodle is a must try.

The service was amazingly fast, I would order my next round of all you can eat and it was there within a minute or so. The only reason Im giving the three stars because the sushi menu for all you can eat was very, very minimal and somewhat bland. However, the rock shrimp had some excitement to it.

Ive been there twice and I have enjoyed it each time.

Atmosphere is fantastic! Food and drink are delicious however the price point is a bit high for the food received. Place is very amenable to making changes according to diet which is very appreciated!

One of the best sushi Ive ever had in Boston! Really cute decor and place too!

I rarely ever say it when it comes to high end restaurants, but this place deserves its pricing. The food here is excellent. I leave here completely satisfied and felt my money was well spent. Try it. If you havent had high end Chinese food you are missing out.

Went for the $1 maki happy hour in the bar area, since it seemed like a deal that was too good to be true. It seems it was: I couldnt tell the difference between the salmon, tuna, and yellowtail maki, and the female staff were dressed in a uniform akin to a corset. I understand now that the venue becomes something akin to a club in the evening, but the uniform during the day made me uncomfortable.

Food was great. A bit noisy and dim lighting for our taste. Rather popular with the club crowd though. Depends on what you like.

The ambiance of the restaurant is nice. Service was excellent.....but the food was horrible. Cold dumplings. Tasteless overpriced main courses. I do not recommend this place.

Beautiful decor that gives you a traditional and futuristic Asian feel. Youll almost forget what outside looks like when you take part fanciful experience. Not to mention the food is amazingly delicious!

Been going to various Chinese restaurants across the country, from Miami Mr. Chow to countless west coast Chinese joints. Red lantern far surpasses all of them. In terms of quality of the food the quality of the preparation and the quality of the ingredients. THEY ARE ALL TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN AT RED LANTERN! My favorite is the hot rock with the salmon in the beef in that sauce they give you was beyond words. My second favorite is the house fried rice with the Wiyagu beef in the great shrimp!

Wow.Three bites into my food, something wasn’t right.I stopped eating, figuring I just didn’t like the taste. Not even 20 minutes later, I’m on my knees in the bathroom throwing up. Here I am the next morning, still throwing up. I usually have a strong stomach, so you know somethings not right. Never again.

I love everything about this place except this one bartender. She was very rude and disrespectful. She served everybody but us. When I asked her why she said we were cut off although prior to that I had only one drink. It put a damper on the night, but the other bartender took care of us and the night turned out amazing!!

Delicious food, creative presentation, and a great list of cocktails/wine/saki/beer. This is an excellent place to bring a group (they have a few areas that could seat 15+). Our service was friendly and informative. Only strike I have against this restaurant are the extravagant decorations that give the place a fabricated atmosphere.

Good food. Asian fusion. Decor is AMAZING

We recently had our office Holiday Party at Red Lantern and the party rocked. I am new to the company in the past year and many of our staff members told me that this years party was the best one yet. Largely because of the decor, set up, service, food and over course the drinks at Red Lantern!If you are planning a large or small group party I highly recommend Red Lantern.Thanks

All you can eat sushi on Tuesday nights

The food is excellent, the service is outstanding. Electrical environment that is always uplifting, I loved it. I recommend it to my friends and family.

Staff wasn’t super friendly. Was told we couldn’t sit, so we stood for 2 hours even though countless tables were open. Drink wait time was through the roof at the bar, and selection was kinda poor. Ambiance was dark and noisy but music wasn’t fun. In all just a below average experience that didn’t really do it for me

Fun decor, just a little bit Las Vegas; attentive but not intrusive service with knowledgeable, helpful advice. There were three of us and all of our food was excellent. The noodle dishes are superb; the sushi high quality and fresh (the inventive sushi seems a little extreme but the conventional sushi is great). We ate so many appetizers that we didnt try the entrees. A great see and be seen place it gets started a little late.

Red Lantern has a great atmosphere and is a fun place to come with friends for a special event. The prices are on the high side, however the portions are generous. Ive been twice and each time I ordered different entrees and appetizers and have been very happy with everything. My biggest complaint is the poor service. I waited 15 minutes past my reservation time, only to be sat at a table with a dripping A/C unit above it. The server seemed to know this was an issue and sat us anyway. We requested a move and were placed at table designed for a party twice our size, despite other vacant tables. We asked to move to a more intimate table once again and were told that another party had a reservation and they would get priority (despite the fact that we had a reservation 30 minutes prior, and had already been inconvenienced by water dripping on us). It took 2.5 hours to eat our meal, way too much waiting. The service seemed very disjointed, and there seemed to be a lack of communication. It took about 30 minutes to get the bill, and have our waitress process our payment. Dont think Ill return here any time soon. Food is great, service is lousy.

Great ambience and delicious food. Love it.

This is one of my favorite places in Boston. The food is off the hook and the restaurant itself has a good vibe.

The food is pretty good. I had a bowl of noodles with duck and it was tasty. Although this place is wayyyy overpriced for the quality. Not saying its bad but for $60 a head, I should be getting better than 3-star food.

It is a very nice place and the stuff are so welcoming. One thing for sure that you wont regret at all visiting this place for a good time if you are looking for one. Five 🌟

There was a 15 dollar cover and I payed 10 with 6 ones and 4 bucks in quarters. I just wanted to say, I appreciate you @Mr. Bouncer Guy. Dress nice, I might have been out of place but this is a classy establishment. No sneakers. No hat. Strictly good times.

Server was just not good. Food was ok, nothing special.(Honestly feels a little overpriced, but whatever it’s Boston). Food took and exceptionally long amount of time to come out. To round it all out, being out with a large group and splitting the check was just a hassle, server claims he could not split up by item only evenly lol. I will not be back, I feel for the price you can get better food and better service all around Boston

Went for dumplings and they were absolutely amazing, looking forward to going back.
