The Lantern Restaurant and Noodle Bar in Powys

Trying to think of something positive to say about the food and carnt the food was watery and tastless, the pancakes for the crispy duck had been over microwaved and stuck together like mush. I will say the young lady on the front desk was polite, and extremely professional when dealing with customers for one so young, hence the two stars otherwise I would have given none.

10/10 great food great staff.

The Lantern now known as Dragons lair, has extremely poor customer service. We ordered a meal last night, meal was wrong and the food was cold. We only live less than a mile away and we drove. When we phoned to let them know. They said come back tomorrow. We did, and he refused to acknowledge that there was anything wrong and told us to go away! Bad and poor service and food.

Great food. Love the curries and the Singapore chow mein is fantastic.

Very good Chinese overall, food tastes great, service is quick and friendly. One of the best Chinese I have been to.

Top tier scran after a nice day at the beach chips, chicken balls and curry sauce all quality best chinese I've ever had belly was extremely satisfied.

The Lantern has been in Welshpool for decades and has always been excellent. They have a good range of veggie dishes and are flexible in making ‘specials’ to order. Highly recommended.

We were on a weekend break and fancied a Chinese, there was not much choice in way of Chinese takeaways and the cottage we were staying in had a leaflet for the lantern, we phoned our order through and made the 20 min journey to collect. The food was ready on arrival, great friendly service, however the food was very bland, the fried rice was more like boiled rice, completely anaemic in colour, the salt & pepper chicken and chips were caked in ground black pepper rather than chillies etc. The quarter crispy duck had barely a mouthful of meat on it. No complimentary prawn crackers either which was disappointing with a £30 order.Unfortunately we would not recommend nor revisit.

Had food to night Food was well bad not going there ever more not cook sweet and sour was like it was made in dish water .

I have just purchased a takeaway meal from this dive - probably the worst Chinese meal I have ever tasted. When I rang to tell the manager (I was polite throughout the conversation) I was told, quote, I was: "A dick**** and to shove it my a***." Stay from there - it's truly gross! I attach a photo of what was apparently Cantonese shredded beef and rice. Yuck!
