Our take: Red Lantern Live Seafood offers a mixed experience, with some standout dishes and service, but also significant inconsistencies, particularly during peak periods.
We've seen praise for their fresh seafood, with the BBQ squid being highlighted as tender and fragrant, and the fried marble glory fish noted for its freshness.
Other recommended dishes include stir-fried lala, steamed fish, tofu, salad prawn, and yam ring.
However, some items like the curry fish head are frequently unavailable, and certain dishes like the fingertips chicken and kailan have been described as average.
Prices for fish dishes can also be on the higher side without promotions.
Service is a point of contention; while some patrons commend staff for being attentive and polite even during busy times, others report significant issues during peak periods like Chinese New Year reunion dinners.
These issues include slow service, incorrect orders, and staff appearing overwhelmed or even rude.
Parking is limited, especially during busy hours, and the restaurant can feel crowded with inadequate air conditioning.
We recommend making reservations, especially for weekend dinners, and perhaps calling ahead to check on dish availability.
Best for those willing to navigate potential service fluctuations for fresh seafood.
