My local Thai place is great value and authentic. After 6pm special, $20 for a drink, two appetizers, an entree and an ice cream dessert. Have a light lunch and hit it!
The basil udon soup is a must, and the plush interior with lighted ceiling height tree branches makes for beautiful dining or waiting for the bar at this small, uncrowded gem.
Used to live around the corner and even when I moved to the upper west side, I came back to Lantern because it’s that good. The drunken noodles are the bestttt
BEWARE RECEIVING A PLATE SERVED WITH LARGE STEEL WIRE METAL SCOURING SCRUBBER PIECES IN YOUR MEAL. I had lunch here on 09/25/15 & ordered pad thai to find a large coiled 4" STEEL WIRE in my mouth.
The food is good, but the service could use some improvement. Menu recommendation: the curry puffs 👌. Their 3-appetizers-as-an-entree offer is awesome.
For 10% off for first check in. Also switched my order like other tips suggested and got udon noodles with my Pad Thai. I'd come back for sure as its pretty reasonable.
Do NOT come here for brunch. It may be cheap but it does not taste good. Their actual Thai offerings however are quite delicious, though they can be pretty heavy handed with the soy sauce.
