Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take: Red Lantern Seafood appears to be a mixed bag, with some customers finding value in their promotional dishes while others report significant issues.

The $12 Thai fishhead and steamed herbal prawns are frequently mentioned as good deals, with the fishhead noted for being fresh and lacking a fishy smell.

However, the overall food quality is described as average and sometimes salty, with some patrons stating it has declined.

A major concern is the reported service attitude, with instances of staff being unhelpful regarding seating and showing preferential treatment.

Critically, there's a serious hygiene complaint involving baby cockroaches found in a dish, which is a significant red flag.

While promotional prices might be attractive, the combination of declining food standards, poor service, and hygiene issues makes this a risky choice.

We'd advise extreme caution, especially given the recent negative feedback.

Average Zhi char place. There are some deals for $12 eg their prawn and fish head but unfortunately we didn’t try. Waiting time 5-15 mins as we are their only customer.
