New Lantern Chinese Restaurant

Awesome service. Meals are hot and really tasty. Doesn't matter what you eat it is going to taste great! Just bought a gift certificate for someone who found my dog. This place rocks but bring a healthy appetite because they don't skimp on the portions! I will definitely be back here for more!

Ordered very disappointing takeout. The total based on their website pdf on https://www.newpandaestacada.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/New-Lantern-Menu-2023.pdf was a total of $37.75, their total over the phone was $40.50. One combo, one entrée, one appetizer. Worst wonton ever: A typical fried wonton order is wonton with a meat and maybe seasoning and other things, fried. Their version of fried wonton...literally an EMPTY WONTON, FRIED. The most egregious bait and switch overcharge I've ever been a sucker for from a restaurant.The sweet and sour chicken, in places that do entrees, is usually battered fried chicken, sauce, onions, bell peppers, and pineapple. In buffets, where you self-assemble, is usually some fresh fried battered chicken, and a vat of sweet and sour sauce you can self-apply. My order had no veggies, and the chicken was dry and not fresh.The rice of both steamed and fried were OK, as was the BBQ pork. The other sides were meh. The fortune cookies were well aged.Since the person doing the floor work and answering phones could not stay for more than a few seconds to take part in any conversations, I suspect any improvements are not forthcoming.

I like Chinese chicken nuggets my dad came up with the idea that I have to have Chinese chicken nuggets I have to be a good boy

If you like deep fried Chinese food, this is your place. Light breading is the key, cooked in very hot oil. Great flavor. Spicy beef was hot, but not so hot the flavor was ruined. Hot and sour soup had lots of veggies. Waitress was the perfect server. Nice decor and quiet at lunch. They seemed to be doing a good takeout business. We take the #30 TriMet bus from Clackamas Town Center, 45 minutes, you can't drive it any faster. We'll be going back for sure. By the way they have a huge menu, consisting of almost anything you might want.

This review is tough, because I often have a 4 star experience here, then on some occasions it's just not consistent. This was one of those inconsistent times. I ordered to go, and the service was fabulous, and the wait time was exactly what they told me 15 minutes. Sadly this time the food wasn't to their normal standard. Pork Egg Foo Young was slightly burned, which had a negative impact on the flavor. Generally speaking the flavor was still good, but normally it's amazing. The crispy Noodle Chicken Chow Mein was really bland as it was missing salt. Sweet and sour shrimp was exactly as expected. This lesser experience will not stop us from going back here (unless future experience prove this as their new norm). I'm gonna assume it was just a bad day this time around.

The service is impeccable, the food is flavorful, it's great american style chinese food. No surprises, you'll get what you are expecting every time. Consistency at a fair price.

Food was gross. I ordered General Tso's chicken and the chicken was tough and rubbery! Chicken shouldn't be that stringy and dry. I specifically asked for extra spicy and yeah, I know my level of spicy is way beyond most people's since I like habanero and ghost peppers, but this was no spicier than sweet and sour. There were no hot peppers in the mix. None. The fried rice was bland as hell too.

This is my go to near by Chinese restaurant. Staff is always friendly and fast service. Great pot stickers.

I have been coming here for couple years and I have to say food is always fresh and delicious. place is clean and price is good. Keep up the good work. Thank you for your hard work. I also love the hot tea soo good. If your in the area and love Chinese food this place rocks.

New Lantern is one if the very best restaurants I've ever visited. It is clean and fresh, with a lovely ambience. The waitstaff are happy, exquisitely courteous, and exceedingly efficient. And the food. Oh, my, that food. It is delivered so quickly after ordering, hot and fresh to the table. The flavors are beautifully nuanced, the meats are tender, the noodles and rices are perfectly prepared, and the vegetables and even the mushrooms are fresh! So everyone, make the short jaunt to Estacada and enjoy some of the best Chinese food you will ever have. I even took a few dishes home for my children who devoured it and look forward to more. It just doesn't get any better than this.
