Pho Lantern Restaurant

This is clean, fresh, delicious, and visually spectacular food. I only wished the restaurant's physical space was more appealing. The dishes are very large, smell beautiful, and come to the table like little works of art. I'm not a giant Thai food fan, but you'd have to be a fool not to appreciate this gem.

I re-visited this place after a long time. We ordered spring roll, bahn-mi with salad, and a extra large pho. Soup was very good although it tasted like a little bit of instant pho soup. It was a lot better than other places in Buffalo I have been, including the portion of the food. I barely finished the pho! Also, spring roll was thick enough to fill my stomach. Each day has different discounted menu. They were kind and ask if everything was good during the meal (which is not a normal thing to expect from some other Asian restaurants). Only thing they can improve is probably the sauce lids. It would be better if they would wipe the leftover sauce around the lids! Satisfied experience.

We always loved this place, even brought more customers in for that matter told all are friends and family etc. We started to come here about five years ago. Their food was a lot more enjoyable, very clean neat and food was divine..My experience today was horrible and a complete let down. We thought we would come on New Year’s Eve! Why not we love the place. I was not pleased with my meal at all. Didn’t even touch it really, the owner comes up ask me if I want another one made? I said no, thinking why would she offer me a brand new one when I didn’t even like the first one. Our bill came to $100. I find it odd that a manager would make it over again waste time and money but just couldn’t give us our $13 back? So I go home disappointed and completely dissatisfied. I will not be coming here anymore there whole system went down it seems.. From the food, thai tea, up keep - Went down hill. Jasmines way better.

This place was awesome and now I understand why that have all of their ratings posted all over their walls- The restaurant is clean and had TVs with music on and fish tanks to look at. It's eclectic but provides a nice atmosphere. They have a bunch of daily specials that seem super reasonable. The pho was awesome- the XL size is enough to feed 2 people and the pad Thai is one of the best around. The mango salad is like nothing I have ever had before but delicious- spicy but I highly recommend. I couldn't believe the amount of take out orders coming out of the kitchen on a Sunday night- it's nice to see a business doing well. They have lots of bubble tea to choose from- I didn't order one but saw a bunch go out and I will definitely try next time. Best part besides the food quality? Super cheap-
