Red Lantern Chinese Food - Trussville

Great service, good food. I love this restaurant! Their noodles are the best in town, the hot and sour soup is incredible, and the staff is very friendly. If you haven't tried yet, do yourself a favor and make a take-out order! I created an account to write a review about this restaurant. Try it!

The Chicken Broccoli was really good. The broccoli isn't soft or mushy, right amount of sauce. The shrimp in the Shrimp fried rice has a really nice crunchy batter and it's lightly coated. Unfortunately the fried rice was still soggy. Like eating dirty rice from Popeyes.

I've eaten here for at least 25 years. Not once has my order been wrong. It's always (yes, always) been hot. I add baby corn to everything and it has never been a problem. You can't beat the price especially when you consider the amount of decent, quality food you get. Their sweet tea is actually pretty good. The restaurant itself is pretty clean tho I've never been in the restrooms. I don't have anything against their restrooms, I have something against all public restrooms. The next (and last) thing I'm about to say may offend a few and while I'm sure to lose much sleep over that, it's not my intent. With that said: I absolutely love and commend them on the fact that while English is their 2nd language, I can most always understand everything they say. Over the years, I've missed a word here and there but it has never been a problem. There are other places that have decent food that I don't go to because I feel uncomfortable due to not being able to understand what they say. I truly appreciate the effort they've put into learning the language the majority of the people here use.

Small restaurant, but the food and service was great. They only serve food in to-go boxes and paper containers, but it didn't matter. The people were very friendly, and they served the food to our table. Had the General Tso's chicken lunch special that came with fried rice and your choice of an egg roll or soup. Also, they had the best Crab Rangoon that I've had in a while. Not very pricey. 2 meals and an appetizer for less than $15.

I was lucky to discover this gem of a restaurant a few months ago. I happily drive 40 minutes to get here. It's a small place in the strip mall nothing fancy at all. The food is the best Chinese I've eaten anywhere. The sesame chicken and shrimp are crispy yet tender, perfectly cooked. The chicken and vegetables, rich broth, full bodied yet doesn't overwhelm the chicken. Just tried the honey chicken and it was fabulous, crispy, tender chicken with a delicate honey glaze. You can choose white or house rice, egg rolls, and there are 3 soups. Won Ton, egg drop, and sweet/sour. I've tried the Won Ton and it's delicate with good flavor. They have 2 sizes: regular dinner. Each is served in a styrofoam box (no frills) and unless you are absolutely starved and can eat a lot, get the regular size. Although the dinner size is great if you want lunch the next day. If you enjoy good Chinese food then find your way here, order up and be prepared to enjoy.
