Our take: Red Lantern Seafood in Tampines appears to be a mixed bag, with some patrons praising its tze char offerings while others report significant service issues and questionable food quality.
We note the $12 fish head curry is highlighted as a good deal, particularly for its Assam-style curry and generous portion size, even for a half-head.
Other tze char staples like sweet and sour pork, hotplate deer meat, and sambal lala also receive positive mentions for their taste.
However, we cannot overlook the severe criticisms regarding slow service, especially during peak hours, with some customers waiting an hour for basic dishes.
There are also concerning reports about the quality of ingredients for set meals, with claims of supermarket-bought yu sheng and desserts, and even an incident of being served another table's shark fin soup.
While the tze char might hit the spot for some, the inconsistency in service and food quality, particularly for larger or more expensive orders, is a significant drawback.
We'd recommend it as a casual tze char spot for individual dishes, but avoid it for special occasions or large set menus.

Passing by the coffee shop and saw the promotion. Thailand style fish head is good for me as I don’t like sour. But if the fish head is same size without the promo price then it will not worth it.
