    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

    All you can eat sushi on Tuesdays is such a great deal. They use such high quality ingredients and every roll is killer

    Red Lantern is the perfect mix of bar, restaurant, and lounge. Upscale Asian dining with great atmosphere and awesome service! TIP: You can charge your phone near the bathrooms downstairs.

    Upscale Asian food with high-energy ambiance. Noodle and rice entree portions are very large - big enough to share!

    Decorated 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

    Atmosphere 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.

    The 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!

    Go to the bathroom downstairs! The ones upstairs are single occupancy only and most people go there since it's on the main floor.

    The geisha is a great cocktail. The food is just okay and over-priced. Wasn't impressed by the sushi. I've had better. Bar scene is good. Come for the drinks, not dinner

    Well 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.

    Most upscale Asian restaurant in Boston. Pretty pricey. Don't bother with the sushi but definitely get everything else.
