Very authentic food and lovely service. Really enjoyed everything we ordered from prawn stuffed zucchini flowers, mushroom dumplings, chilli salted quid, crispy rice and prawns, delicious and tender pork cutlet and barramundi in curry. Will definitely revisit AAA+

Invited to dine here by parents and was interested to dine when I saw the menu and the style of set menu they have Staff: absolutely lovely staff, excellent service quite attentive snd friendly! Very well dressed and never needed to signal for anyone. Ambiance: the right mood lightning with a mixture of antique and modern twists in the decor. Sound was perfect no echoing and was ideal for dinner conversation Food/drinks: ordered rhe set menu which I believe was roughly $80-$120 per person which, for the quality of the food, the amount of courses served and the fact that there was a wine pairing with each course was very reasonable! Wine pairings where spot on and I think I disliked one wine which was a Chardonnay (iv never liked Chardonnay so I’m not surprised) and the food was absolutely delicious, hot and such a wonderful combination of Asian mixes! Mostly seafood but I do love seafood and if you don’t like an overly fish flavour each dish was flavoured so well that the fish taste was undetectable! Left the restaurant feeling so unbelievably full and satisfied! Would highly recommend!

I recently met Patricia Nguyen at an event where she was the guest speaker. What an amazing and inspirational woman! Patricia spoke so highly of her restaurant and her husband who’s the chef, I decided to take my family for my birthday. Last night was the night. We arrived to the most welcoming waiter and he and the other waiter were so extremely attentive the whole night. We were delighted with the banquet and each dish was absolutely beautiful, so flavourful and fresh with generous servings. When we’d finished all the dishes (and we were all very full) I asked for the bill. Much to my surprise and delight, the waiters came out with a bowl of ice cream and four spoons, with a sparkler in it and sang Happy birthday to me. It would have to be the most amazing experience I’ve had in a restaurant. We were all so delighted and grateful. A must on your bucket list! You will not regret it A very big thank you for making my birthday so special <3

My partner and I came here for dinner on a busy Saturday evening. We had a booking at 8:30pm, the place was busy throughout the evening until when we left at 11pm. We had the Feed Me banquet menu. There were a total of 7 delicious, mouth watering and beautifully presented Vietnamese dishes. The food was full of flavours, every dish was tasty. I was even more impressed with the service: the lady who waited our table (a Western looking lady) was extremely pleasant, kind and attentive; she cleaned our table several times between courses (something I don’t normally see even in expensive fine dining restaurants). The atmosphere was very cozy, the restaurant was beautifully lit with warm light and the deco reminds you of old Vietnamese charm. A total winner from chef Luke Nguyen!

Had a private room set dinner for a friend’s birthday this week and was very impressed by the food quality and overall dinning experience. I was expecting the food to be too sweet for my liking but it wasn’t. The flavours were on the whole quite balanced, not too sweet or salty and quite delicious. The highlight for me was the blue swimmer crab cakes, the pan fried barramundi and the roast pork. We had a great time and happy to give this place a top review.

A really enjoyable dining experience. All the dishes were cooked beautifully and full of flavour. The service was wonderful. The restaurant was full but not noisy. We tried the specials and my favourites were the rice cakes and the prawn sugercane. We also tried the 3 desserts and they were spectacular. I am not a fan of Asian desserts but these were at another level.

Had a dinner date with my partner here on a Saturday night recently. It must be 10 years since i was last at the red lantern and my first time visiting the darlinghurst venue. There's a lovely atmosphere to the restaurant with the teak furniture, red finishings, tiles, photos, and lighting. It does feel like certain interiors in Vietnam. Food was delicious. We had squid and corn cakes for entrees, chargrilled chicken and beef stir fry for main. The food was delicious, just as I remembered the red lantern to be. Service was friendly and breezy. Nice evening

This restaurant has passed its prime. Food was expensive and unimpressive. Service was pretty slow despite coming early and servers were a bit awkward. Skip it and save the money for another place.

It's been my, and my family's and friends', great pleasure to dine at Red Lantern since 2005. We have enjoyed watching Red Lantern develop into the fine and well-regarded restaurant that it is today. The motivation in continuing to dine at Red Lantern over all these years is simple but important: - high quality, delicious food - friendly, professional service. Our collective dining experience has been consistently high - a strong testament to the love, care and dedication that the owners and staff of Red Lantern have, and continue to, devote to their business and livelihood. We enjoyed another great meal with friends at Red Lantern the other night. We recommend trying their latest Banquet Degustation menu - It's a great way to try many of their dishes!

I celebrated my birthday here yesterday and it was one of the best birthday dinners ever! When my partner and I arrived at the restaurant, the hostess wished me a happy birthday, which was a lovely gesture. And upon seated, they served us a free glass of champagne. (I felt totally pampered by then!) Since everything in the menu looks good, we decided to go for the degustation menu ($75 pp). Excluding dessert, there was 6 different courses. (2 entrees and 4 mains) Every dish was so good! I cannot fault any of the dishes My favorites were the fried chili salted squid and crispy skin chicken. Service was really good as well. Despite a full house, the waitress came by pretty often (without being intrusive) to top up water and check on us. And I got a surprise towards the end of the dinner - a free scoop of ice cream with light sparkles! The whole dining experience was amazing. I will definitely be back!

Way WAY upmarket Vietnamese food. Five stars for atmosphere and chic and élan and some other words that mean stylish that dont spring to mind. Food is pretty much the same as Phamish but with some nice additions. I had the Gai Du Du which was exactly like Phamish's papaya salad but twice the price. I don't mind because the pork was smoky and full of flavour and the chilli vinegar dressing was white hot and sweet and perfect. I didn't see any of the Nguyen clan or any chefs who have married into the Nguyen clan so I assume they have let someone else into the family's secret recipe club? A truly beautiful place and the food is fantastic - like I knew it would be!

Definitely lived up to its reputation and fulfilled my Vietnamese cuisine expectations. I loved the cheery, fusion-filled interior (a mix of modern and classic), and the golden-red colour scheme! The food was exquisite - every dish was so unique but flavoursome! And the service was fantastic as well!

I've never been to Vietnam but I feel if I had I'd still think this was the best Vietnamese I'd had. The venue isn't huge and they seem to be quite busy so make a reservation if you can. The service was prompt and efficient and we were stuffed at the end. Now for the food: We had the fish - delicious, the ribs which were probably my favorite dish and the vegetarian curry with glass noodles which were also fantastic. We started with the spring rolls which were delicious. We were too full for desert so that may have to wait for next time. I'll definitely go back!

Although Sydney is in general a pretty safe place for gluten-free, celiac/coeliac-safe is sometimes a challenge. And even when celiac-safe, you often end up paying for hipster ambience more so than quality food. Not so here - Red Lantern has special procedures in place for Celiac and even knew what questions I'd ask ahead of time, such as about shares fryer oil. All items marked GF are or can be made truly GF, including 3 of the 4 desserts! The spring rolls (rice paper with fresh Thai basil) were both phenomenal - one vegetarian with fried taro and the other with shrimp, each with unique sauces - the prawns main was tasty although a little plain, but the warm sesame-coated rice balls in coconut cream with sesame ice cream was phenomenal. I would eat here every day if I could.

Love the small, intimate cocktail bar at the back - enter from Crown Lane. Passionate staff. Takes you back in time. Dark as. Perfect for those who want to duck out for a quick, lane way smoko outside. Lost count of how many drinks I had. One of my friends thought I would not make it to the door at my house. Grateful for the lift. Their iced tea, cosmopolitan, jam jar and mojito cocktails are a hit. Love Vietnamese food. Beautiful squids and chicken rice paper rolls. Came here for a private function in style recently. Glad to be back on the Sydney social scene, and the multiple drinks took a slightly disappointing exam result out of my system. You only get hungover once after two months of not drinking anything alcoholic. Alas, was a bit too tipsy to take pictures this time for this place...

I like Luke Nguyen, and for that reason I was really looking forward for my visit to Red Lantern. The portions came quickly and were packed with variety, but none of the dishes from my tasting menu really popped and blew me away like I expected them go given the hype. Star 1: How were the service and atmosphere? Red Lantern is classy, with a contemporary vibe that might even overshadow the Vietnamese influences behind the cuisine. The service is fast and friendly, and they executed our tasting menu for a party of twelve without a hiccup. Star Granted. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost? I'll be honest: I didn't pay for my meal, and I didn't even check the receipt or menu, but if I recall correctly I did see online a similar tasting menu for $70.00 per person. It wasn't a rip off, and we were all good and full by the end of the evening. Star Granted. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food? Like I touched on earlier, nothing on my tasting menu was bad. The chicken dishes were packed with flavor, the fish fresh, the short rib tender, the rice paper rolls diverse, and the ceviche just right; but none of the dishes blew me away, and all were influenced by the fact that the white rice was a tad bit under cooked. I'd had better dishes elsewhere more or less across the board, and that's not what I was expecting from a personality like Luke Nguyen. Single Star Granted. Star 5: Would you eat here every day if you could? I wouldn't, but it's worth checking out. No Star Granted.

Our party of 6 started off with the Aunty 5's rice cake entrée (Banh Bot Chien $21) which was unique and got my taste buds tantalised for more! The salt & pepper squid (Muc Rang Muoi $24.50) was very light and fresh, but nothing outstanding. As the mains rolled in, we found ourselves sinking more and more in a mud of disappointment. The pork belly (Thit Heo Quay $36) was crunchy but very blah. For the extravagant price, I expected a lot more than a replica of Chinatown butcher meat. The coconut curry king prawns with glass noodles (Mi Xao Tom va Sot Ca Ri $37) was nice and the prawns, fresh and delectable. The caramelised chicken (Ga Kho $38.50) was the worst version of what was described as a "dish that can't go wrong" when we were ordering. How can such a reputable restaurant stuff such a simple dish up? I've made this at home once and it was 100000x better! And I don't even cook well! The meat was dry and there was no "caramel" texture to it, but merely covered with a runny soy sauce marinade. Eating this made me sad. Other things we ordered: x Rao Muong Xao Chao (Water Spinach in a preserved bean curd sauce $16)- Good x Vegetarian crepe (Banh Xeo Chay $29.50)- Meh x Dessert Platter for two (Banana fritters, pandan waffles, coconut creme caramel, black sesame & vanilla ice-cream $24)- Good xPham Fatale (Lychee & Ginger cocktail $17)- YUM I'd heard SO many good things about this restaurant, but I was utterly disappointed. It came to about $50 a head (we weren't very hungry and didn't order much) which is not cheap anyway, but even if it was half priced, I wouldn't come back here.

I'm a huge fan of Luke Nguyen thats why Red Lantern has been on my food bucket list for some time. The restaurant is really nice, the staff are very well trained and polite. The food was overpriced for what it was. It was vietnamese food served in small portions in fancy plates at 5 times the cost. Tbh you could get similar food in the West for MUCH less.

Order the Auntie 5' with pork. So delicious. The staff here is absolutely lovely and the food was grand. I ordered half the starters, a mid dish, and one main with my friend. The fried squid came with an epic lemony, tangy and spicy sauce that rocked and was filled with peppery flavor. The squid was cooked well and the fried part reminded me of tempura but fluffier. Order the squid. The rice cakes are something I would recommend to any meat eater and the vietnamese spring rolls that come with pork are yum. My friend and I ordered the Malbec which was smoke and a bottle from Kangaroo Island it was a franc / sangiovese which I didn't love. One thing that was mediocre was the steak, was missing a bit of sauce and the meat was over cooked. Great date spot or group spot. Can be a bit pricey - my bill was about 300 for 2 people and 1 person who mainly just drank wine.

Sorry Luke - this was a true 'let down' experience Service - Slow Wine List - Shallow - and the Rusu Dò was one of the worst I have ever tasted Food - let down twice with selections of food from the menu not available - (I was looking forward to the pork belly damn it) - Swordfish main was dry - the Duck was more bone than meat. The dessert helped make things better. Would I come back - yes only to be convinced that this experience was a once off 'bad night '. Otherwise if it isn't - well Luke you may need to get back into the kitchen here

Loved this restaurant and my experience there! A friend and I were visiting from the states and ate at Red Lantern based on some reviews I read online and it did not disappoint. We had the Saigon Scrumptious tasting menu and all 8 courses are amazing! Favorites were the squid and octopus salad. Dessert was also delish- loved the sticky rice dish. Service was friendly and attentive throughout. Thanks for a great dinner Red Lantern!

I had long dreamed of dining at Red Lantern. For my birthday in 2005 two very good friends bought me the first cookbook from this Sydney fixture: Secrets of the Red Lantern. Since then I've collected two subsequent cookbooks, devoured each one, and prepared a number of recipes from their pages. On a chilly Friday evening I caught up with another old friend who I'd not seen since 2006, and over the nine course tasting menu we recounted the nine years since we'd last met. The tasting menu was a great idea. It wasn't the cheapest at $70 per person, but well worth every bite - my only regret was that I was too full for dessert! Given my allergy to squid, we switched out the calamari entree for the Aunty's Rice Cakes which were completely different to any rice cakes I'd had before, and they were delicious. I also loved the summer rolls that we started with, but my favourite dish over all were the caramelised pork ribs, which had been a favourite recreation at home. The service was attentive and friendly but not pushy or overbearing and the atmosphere just the right amount of special occasion and casual. This visit lived up to my dreams and I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Sydney!

I had pretty high expectations but unfortunately it didn't live up to its reputation. There were a couple of stand-outs: the radish cakes with spicy peanut sauce and Vietnamese pancakes. Beautiful space and very nice ambience. Sadly lacked the wow factor overall, given this price range.

Just a random pick while on vacation. Outstanding. Adam gave us a table in the back only 2 hrs beforehand. Lovely. Had some chicken satay, rolls, duck, and fish. All plates were delicious and served in a timely sequence. Definitely a do-over.

In a nutshell: impressive. Vietnamese beers I had not tried (both 333 and Hanoi were delicious), adventurous cocktails (traditional also available), and impressive food (Banh Bot Chien is a must). Went here with 4 other girls for a ladies dinner. We wound up having a couple drinks in the cocktail bar at the back (Red Lily) as the wine bar we had planned for was bursting at the doors. Red Lily is dark and tiny, with all but a handful of the seats being at the bar. We arrived shortly after 7 for our 8.30 sitting. There were maybe 6 other patrons and 3-4 friendly bar tenders. By the time we received out first round, the place was packed. Service was friendly and informative. Cocktails were delicious (one of mine included tequila and mango with a Chili salt rim. Loved it!) As we were in the building already, the staff came to collect us when the table was ready, with the added bonus of us being able to transfer our unfinished drinks - and our tab - to our dinner table. We decided against the tasting menu and split 3 entrees, one mid course, and 3 mains between the 5 of us, which provided more than enough food. With the addition of dinner drinks (3 beers and a bottle of wine) the tab came in at a very reasonable $80/pp (remember there were at least 7 cocktails @ $17/per that were carried over). As mentioned above, the Banh Bot Chien (rice cakes with prawn and pork) is a must. The Muc Raing Muoi (fried chilli salt squid) was delicious, and a generous serve. The Goi Du Du Tom Thit (green papaya salad with twice cooked pork belly and prawns) is also not to be passed over. For mains we had the Ca Kho (salmon in a caramel, chili, and black pepper sauce) which was outstanding. We refused to let our server take the bowl away as we each had an extra serve of rice soaked in the remaining sauce. The Vit Sot Man Gung Keo (duck with plumb sauce and candied ginger) was delicious, and again, a very generous portion - which is always a surprise with duck. The Bo Luc Lac (beef with garlic, sesame and black pepper) was probably the least favourite, despite not having any faults. The beef was perfectly tender, but was simply out shined by the salmon and the duck. Service was again friendly and knowledgable, although the waitress had to be reminded of a beer that had been ordered, but hey, that happens. I had no idea what to expect coming here, and was very happy with the outcome. I have no problem recommending this place, and am excited for my next visit.

We have been to red lantern on Riley (and on Crown Street) at least 10 times over the years. It is our favourite restaurant and nothing else comes close. The service is personal and flawless. We had a dish a few years ago that is no longer on the menu and request it every time we go and they make it without any question. Start with a cocktail or two, extremely unique south East Asian inspired. We order a number of starters and get them out one after each other and create our own banquet. My wife is vegetarian and they will cater by serving the meats on the side. This place is a jewel in the city, couldn't recommend them enough

A friend picked this restaurant for a Friday night out. Heard about it from a few people and went with high expectations. The food was brilliant! we opted for the Saigon Scrumptious Tasting Menu at $80 per person, which is a little expensive but was well worth the money. lot's of variety, all fresh and we were all too full to finish the desert course. From the rice paper rolls to start to the char grilled duck, all tastes were satisfied. They also have an extensive cocktail menu. I am usually beers and spirits kind o guy but we all had a few rounds of cocktails. Some seemed familiar but all had a red lantern twist to them. Overall a great meal with knowledgable and attentive staff. The only issue I had was that by the time we left, we could not get any more drinks and ended up at the casino... Now the meals seem cheap by comparison... I will have to go back with the family and treat them to the banquet.

Great service and amazing, varied food. Luke Nguyen was even working the tables. Our waiter was very good even if we ignored his recommendations. We went for three entrees and two mains between two - the seared king fish was the highlight. Loved the bahn xeo too. A great food experience - authentic flavors with a modern twist on most dishes.

Great banquet for our larger party of 12. Accomodating and friendly staff. Got to sample 9 courses of what seemed to be an endless tasting of dishes. We were stuffed before the last two courses + dessert came out. Had a few nice cocktails at the small bar out back for an hour or so before dinner. Would definitely go back!

WOW...this place was amazing! I was so happy to be able to eat at one of Luke Nguyen's restaurants. Every single dish was to die for and the service was incredible. They made accommodations for me since I have Celiac disease and didn't just offer me a salad, which is what I absolutely HATE the most when I go out to eat and ask for gf options. I would definitely go back when I visit Sydney again!
