China Lantern Chinese Restaurant and Takeaway in Barnsley

Value for money and pleasant atmosphere and lovely staff.

First time coming to the restraunt, we was greeted by the lovely waiter , the service was brilliant, the food was so tasty and very fresh , we will definitely be back

So was very sceptical on ordering from here but I got to say the food was very delicious the best in a very long time we just moved here so we tried so many different Chinese shops and was very disappointed the only negative Which is not a big deal is the curry sauce but the food makes up for this thanks again will be ordering again

absolutely amazing so tasty and fast service with friendly staff and very clean food was so fresh definitely a go to chinese

Just had a fantastic takeaway. Friendly staff. Lovely food. Would highly recommend. Will definitely be coming back.

Meal for 2 tonight for my birthday, food and service were spot on. Lovely meal and great service 😊

A really good family run business, amazing service and great food. Would definitely recommend.

Great food and a friendly atmosphere, staff we very professional

Really nice food, and service would come again!

Had family meal 11 of us few weeks back just got round to writing this we were the only ones in the service was a bit slow we all had starter witch were very poor 3-10 then the mains come in in dribs taking 15 minutes very disappointing no taste think it must have been chef’s day of very poor. For value for money 0-10 would be going back

After trying most of the Chinese restaurants in the Wombwell area this one is hands down the best. It is always quality fresh food right down to the complimentary prawn crackers. Service is always fantastic, nice family run feel. Inside the restaurant it is exceptionally clean and well run, a real credit to the owners, chefs and front of house team.

We went for valentines day .The restaurant was very busy ,but the service was fantastic. The starters and main course was beautiful very tasty.Its the best Chinese meal we have had.

Always great service and food at a reasonable price, would recommend

Having tried loads of Chinese takeaways in the area this was by far the best we have had.

Had a takeaway from here last evening, have always gone to other places as I assumed that it would be a bit more pricey! I was so shocked on how good the price was and the food was 10/10 sooo tasty really really reccomend this place! Will have to make a visit in for a sit down meal

Really enjoyed it the staff are very helpful and polite

The place is clean and friendly with polite staff. My takeaway was ready on time to collect and the food was delicious. Will definitely order again from here and maybe try the restaurant sometime.

We love to dine at China Lantern. A warm welcome. Lovely staff. Excellent food!

Loved it great food had takeaway collection order,was ready soon as we got there food was piping hot and delicious 👍👍

It was overpriced and the portions were small. We paid 50 pounds for 3 dishes and it was barely enough food for 3 normal appetited person. You also have to pay for everything separate like chops rice etc. I won't be returning unfortunately

Great food, great service and atmosphere.

Nice food and pleasant staff. They do Thia as well as Chinese which is good. Very full menu to choose from. Food was tasty and piping hot. The day of our visit was very noisy but not the fault of the owners. This will not distract us from returning.

Amazing food, amazing service! Best Chinese food I have ever eaten!

Lovely food and service but it wasn't very warm, had to keep coats on all the time, 5 of us.

Update to review: Great food but had our first bad experience with tonight. A wait time of an 1hr 20mins for even the starters while the kitchen were sending order after order out for takeout deliveries. The table behind us had been waiting over 2 hours. The front of house staff were apologetic but the owner didn't care. Let's see if it improves

For the second week running we have been let down by this restraunt service is shocking ordered duck last week and got dryer up rubbish that was cooked a week before. And tonight after waiting almost two hrs for take away we were told we would have to waite a further 40 min

We really love this Chinese delivery is super fast and the food has always been lovely, the staff are very polite.

Just been tonight for first time. Fantastic food 👍👍 will definitely be going again

Spur of the moment after a few drinks.Service,food,atmosphere ….. it’s got everything .10/10

Visited on Saturday 10th March. What a fantastic restaurant! Looked clean as a pin, colourful, food and staff excellent. Happy to highly rate this restaurant Thank you

We went last night with a party of 9 food was lovely, we have been a couple of times and has been nice. We also had a takeaway a few months ago which we didn’t really enjoy but Decided to try the restaurant again and we wasn’t disappointed. Staff are friendly and polite .

Really nice food and friendly service.

Cracking meal from China Lantern today!! Chow mein and ribs were the best I've had on a long time. Highly recommended people of Yorkshire!!!

Great atmosphere eating inside on a Saturday evening. Found it to be good value, has the hors d'oeuvres (mixed starter for 2) to start. Then a main each with rice. The total bill only came to £60 which I thought was good. Other diners seemed impressed with their food too. The only gripe is they don't give you a knife, just a fork, so make sure you ask for one before the food arrives. Service was good and would definitely visit again.

Omg was well impressed best Chinese I had 4 a long time was great defo do a takeaway soon

Lovley meal spotlessly clean friendly staff

Had a great time, tasty food, staff very attentive. Will go again.

Want to restaurant best meal I have add for long time and good value

Beautiful food and fantastic service. Will forever be my favourite restaurant & takeaway x

First time ordering. Was nice but I did pay for egg fried rice and got plain fried rice.

Best Chinese in Yorkshire. Staff are so lovely and polite. Now the only place we go for sit in or takeaway.

Wonderful food and great customer service!

Came to the restaurant for a date night & wasn't disappointed! Friendly staff, fab menu, decent portions sizes & good tasting food! Will deffo recommend & visit again :)

Fantastic food lovely staff thank you had a lovely birthday Andy & jayne xx

Staff friendly food average the crispy beef came out of the container as one big congealed block.also there was no evidence of any beef whatsoever also I collected this meal myself and only live 0.5 miles away so the reply is not truly valid

Always great food and lovely staff

Went into restaurant for a take away. The food was beautiful. Told afew friends how good it was and they have started going there now.

A quality restaurant that serves great food at a great price. Outstanding service. Will definitely be returning here.

Fabulous meal for my wife's birthday great experience food out of this would beautiful thank you

Delicious food, would definitely come again

Great always order from there best Chinese around

Ten of ate there on a Friday evening at 7pm. The staff were very attentive and our food was delicious. They coped well with our large group and the food was hot and well presented. The mixed starters for 2 was very tasty. I had chicken in plum sauce and really enjoyed it. The menu is extensive and I was spoilt for choice! During the Lockdowns for Covid we regularly had a takeaway delivered and enjoyed a set meal for 2. We love Chinese food and it's good to have a dine in restaurant on our doorstep.

Excellent food. Warm and friendly service Great prices. Salt n pepper ribs are awesome. Will be making many more visits

Best spare ribs I've had in years. Food is always delivered hot and tasty. Thank you guys.

We have ate in before. Great. However we chose home delivery as it worked out alot cheaper. 1st delivery was great. Today was our 2nd. Food arrived really quick. 10-15 mins after I ordered online. Was it sat ready or does it just cook really quick? We ordered sweet and sour chicken with chips and ordered extra sauce (because we barely got any with our first delivery) The sauce was so runny it ruined the meal a little. There was no thickness at all to it. Just like pop. Chips were not great but chicken was nice. We could not finish the meal so feel like money wasted.

China lantern is the best place for food. Fantastic service and prices too. Wouldn't go anywhere else.

Me and my Partner came here for the first time and was well impressed. The food was gorgeous and everything piping hot. We had the crispy shredded chicken which was the best. A house special chow mein full of everything, chips anr a curry sauce. We had a starter for 2 but asked if we could have it just for one person and it was no trouble for them and said yes straight away. Lovely fast service and great atmosphere. Nothing too much trouble for the staff. Will definetly be returning. Highly recommended.

Delicious and great value. Hits the spot!

Came here for a family Meal to celebrate my Daughters Birthday First visit. Lovely delicious food some of the best chinese I have eaten Friendly service.We had a great meal.So I would have no qualms about recommending this restaurant we will be back.

We have come here a few times, foods always fantastic. The service is brilliant and we always enjoy our evenings there. Going again tonight just because we can! 🤪

Another fantastic meal here last night. Lovely environment and excellent staff.

Ordered a take away it look 30mins & was delicious hot & plenty, first time we have ordered from here but it won't be tha last lovely.

Lovely food, excellent service and very pleasant restaurant

Highly recommend this place, been 5 or 6 times now and always spot on.

I clicked chicken satay rather than chicken satay skewers....... I did enjoy it, it could have done with being a little thicker satay sauce though! Also ordered Thai green curry with boiled rice. I wouldn't rush out to order it again, the Thai green curry was very watery/fluid like, every now and again I got a hint of creamy flavour from the coconut milk but its not the best I've had. Flavours were good though so I cannot discount that!

absolutely brilliant restaurant. Great family business exceptional food and service 2nd to none x

Tried for the first time tonight. Excellent food and really tasty. Its our new "go to" Chinese. Recommended.

The food was great, the service was 5 star. Would recommend.

Lovely food. And great staff especially the young man.

Great food good service and very clean. First time visit but will go again. Soon.

Surprisingly very good - Walk past many of time and said, we'll try that. Definitely going back soon

Lovely little place to go for family meal. Nice staff and lovely food

We had an amazing time. One of my new favourite places

Beautiful food and staff that went above and beyond in regards to service and making our children feel welcome.

Brilliant place to eat or for a take away Very helpful and friendly staff service very good.

First time visiting the China Lantern most definitely will be going again on a very regular basis The staff were friendly, professional, helpful and made us feel so welcome and that they were pleased to have us there The food was absolutely beautiful, This restaurant and takeaway deserves to do well because was a lovely experience to have such a gorgeous meal and excellent service. You have an amazing skill of making your customers happy, valued and well fed

Dined at China Lantern on Friday 30 July and both the food and service were excellent. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Food very dry and plain, quite pricey and strange menu,Would not let us have a mixed starter to share had to buy 2,nothing keeping food warm and went cold very quickly,had far better takeaway

Food was very hot and teaste couldnt have asked for any better will ne back again

Still waiting for a reply, as phoned them to complain about food arriving cold and both my wife and I were realy poorly ,a apology would have been nice

Well what can I say, we ordered tonight and I can guarantee it's the best takeaway we've had in a long time. Excellent size portions, still hot, absolutely beaut, Well done Chinese lantern. We will be returning.

Amazing food and great customer service, especially that chap on the phone

Ordered food here because of reveiw I saw on line....below standard food ....never order the spicy shredded beef because it was absolutely Terrible couldn't tell u what I was eating but it wasn't good...chicken chow mein was below average...couldn't even bother to send a fork or spoon with order....Have KFC or McDonald's instead

Really delicious food, best Chinese we've ever eaten, no bulking out with cheap ingredients such as green peppers or onion like other takeaways do, big portions of quality food, delivered hot and on time. Thank you. 😊

Best Chinese Takeaway ever tasted

This place is legit !!! I normally drive to Sheffield for a Chinese there that bad in Barnsley best Chinese around by far:-)

Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, fast service and amazing food! Will definitely be back :) thankyou!

I had spicy crispy beef and also a chow mein. Delicious! The beef came in its own edible pancake bowl which I've never had before. The staff are very friendly and the food came out very quickly. Good value as well. I like the decor and the neon sign on the corner. It's all spotless. I'll definitely be back.
