The New Red Lantern - Bridgend

Food not as good as it once was and getting more expensive. Service always friendly but won’t be using it very often with the current chef I’m afraid.

I have been going to the new red lantern now for years and it's my go to chinese in bridgend. The staff can be quite rude, and so It has got to the point where I never call or order in person I just order through just eat. The food though is always great, always hot, and usually on time unless they are very very busy but then this is advertised on just eat (another reason not to call). I would say some dishes could use a bit of an upgrade but generally you get good food for cheaper than lots of places, and the crispy beef is arguably the best in the area.

Worst lettuce wraps we 've ever had. We paid £9.40 for two pork lettuce wrap starters. Both tubs were literally 75% padded out with some tasteless white 'straw ', with only the tiniest portion of the proper pork filling laid over the top of this thick bed of white stuff. Yes, 75%, no exaggeration. We felt totally cheated. We 've had lettuce wraps at numerous takeaways elsewhere and all have been filled fairly, with never more than 5 to 10% of this white stuff. What a rip-off. Disgusted and won 't be returning.

Ordered here last night on just eat . Not only did the food take an hour and a half, after a guarantee of 45 minutes but the food itself was bad. One rib cut up in to 5 pieces for £4.70 ?!?! would not be going here again .

We ordered several dishes for three people, including king prawn curry, sweet and sour chicken, pancake rolls, etc. The pancake rolls were the worst that I have ever eaten in my life and I had to throw two away. They just tasted as if the cook's hand had slipped and thrown a whole pot of MSG in. The prawn curry was mainly onion and the sweet and sour chicken was actually sweet and sour pork. Also, everything just seemed greasy. All three of us were disappointed. We threw most of it away never again.
