Sorry, no.

There's a whole lot of Chinese buffets in Mesquite, and going into Red Lantern really felt like I stepped foot into a 3rd World country.

• Pros: Relatively cheap, I didn't get food poisoning this time
• Cons: The whole place feels unsanitary, food is not tasty.

no more

We use to go here quite a lot. The service has gone way down and the food is cold and stale. We have not visited for over a year now. We found better places in Balch Springs and Seagoville.

• Pros: good selection
• Cons: food cold

Under cooked Food

by RV6 at Citysearch

Have had good experiences in the past, however we ordered a chicken dinner that was undercooked, tough and did not taste like it should. When I called to complain they said nothing could be done and that no one has complained about this and my order was the way it should be (not correct as we have ordered the same item several times before and know what to expect ).

I was told that they did not care if I ordered from them again.

A former customer!!!!!!!!!!

• Pros: Past experiences have been good
• Cons: Poor resolution to problem

Uninvited guest

by TAROG6 at Citysearch

I was having dinner with my fiance. Food looked OK. Price very reasonable. The manager inspected the bar area, frequently. On one of my trips to the food bar I noticed a "Periplaneta americana" deciding which vegetable to go for. Needless to say I left immediately and will never return. I have not eaten Chinese food since. I am sorry that the rating system doesn't allow for minus stars.

Best Chinese Food

by javaaddict at Citysearch

I have lived in Mesquite for over 2 yrs now, and this is the closest Chinese restaurant that delivers. Great food, reliable and always courteous. Would recommend if you dont want to drive or cook after a long day at work.

• Pros: Good food, good prices

We moved around Mesquite area alot and when we asked about chinese resturaunts this one was suggested However when we called to place a nearly 50.00 order we were plced on hold for 15min and then told that we would have to come pick it up because the delivery driver was too busy.

It was a Friday. My stepdaughter, son and myself were looking for a quick meal. We decided on the buffet at Red Lantern. The place looked clean, and the food was attractive. It also tasted good. Sadly, an hour later, we all had severe digestive issues. Eat at your own risk.

• Pros: Tasted good
• Cons: It made us violently ill.
