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
Nick NickAugust 18, 2014All you can eat sushi on Tuesdays is such a great deal. They use such high quality ingredients and every roll is killer
Men's Health MagJanuary 29, 2015This trendy pan-Asian spot borders the South End and Back Bay neighborhoods. Its late-night lounge scene is all about pretty people noshing all-you-can-eat sushi and slamming expensive cocktails.

TIP: You can charge your phone near the bathrooms downstairs.
Francisco ArrietaNovember 10, 2015Chicken lettuce wraps, sweet and sour chicken, and the waygu beef with any of choice of fried rice
Michelle C.February 27, 2012Improper Bostonian: duck bun, fried pork gyoza, singapore noodles, sushi, bok choy, grilled asparagus, tempura beans & rock shrimp, creme brulee, pineapple bread pudding & tempura bananas- The New style California roll and the Ronin roll were superb!! Also must order the rock shrimp tempura and the lobster rangoons as appetizers!! 👌
Boston.comJanuary 3, 2012Decorated 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
Gretchen MurphyFebruary 25, 2017Upscale Asian food with high-energy ambiance. Noodle and rice entree portions are very large - big enough to share!
Holly CFebruary 20, 2013The 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 CityDecember 22, 2011We 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.
Caleb HutchingsNovember 7, 2011Atmosphere is very warm with red lighting and exposed brick. Wine offerings are fantastic and the staff is well versed in Sake. Shrimp appetizers are divine.- Philip SeifiMarch 3, 2015Incredible atmosphere, great food, sumptious cocktails - one of the best upscale Asian restaurants in town.

Shannon KelleherOctober 25, 2014Love the atmosphere and food! It's on the pricey side but well worth it
Mike CallahanDecember 27, 2014When it's crowded sit at the bar. They have a full serve menu there as well.
Lisa GAugust 6, 2011Go family style since there are so many great dishes. The two pound T-Bone is great for four. Broken Lobster is amazing
Boston PhoenixAugust 10, 2011Our critic liked the duck egg rolls, the crispy calamari, and the tasty "white miso aioli" they serve for you to dip your edamame in Read more
LilianMay 12, 2012best vegetable fried rice ever! and if you're into cocktails, the rose petals saketini is amazing
JosephineJuly 21, 2013Go to the bathroom downstairs! The ones upstairs are single occupancy only and most people go there since it's on the main floor.
Derek PeplauSeptember 23, 2011The Tuna Tempura Roll and the Crunchy Roll are can't miss choices if you like sushi. Thank me later.
Heather MarsalaOctober 14, 2013The food is to DIE for. I'm not crazy about the drink selection though
Have a seat at the kitchen bar! You get to see exactly what goes into this yummy food!
Lad DellAugust 21, 2011Reminds me of Tao in Las Vegas. Nice decor, good drinks. Haven't sampled the food menu as of yet.
Make sure to check out the seashell wall behind the bar.

David GravesFebruary 3, 2013Well 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.
