Contemporary Vietnamese Restaurant in Surry Hills
This restaurant looks like a red lantern itself, set inside a boxy terrace house with red splashed walls. The cuisine is traditional Vietnamese based on family recipes but with a contemporary Australian twist. Bookings are recommended.

Being a huge fan of Vietnamese food I got the Red Lantern cookbook as a gift. After reading it I couldn't wait to try the restaurant. It didn't disappoint. Definitely go the degustation menu you get to try a bit of everything. The restaurant has a nice feel about it and the service is great. Everything is well explained. -

I have been hanging out for about a year to try this place so was a priority after moving from interstate. Absolutely fantastic food. Had a table of six so had to have set menu. Looking forward to going again with a small group to try more of the menu. -

The best vietnamese in Sydney! You need to book well in advance to get a table here as it's very popular and very small. Set in a renovated terrace, the food is beautiful - salt & peppar squid and pancake highlights - and really well priced for such good food!

Red Lantern
The Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide 2007
Friday, June 29, 2007
This Vietnamese restaurant has taken locals by storm with its authentic dishes.
Being booked out with such regularity is a heavy load to bear. That Red Lantern's staff handle such adulation with skill and aplomb is a major achievement, as is the kitchen's loyal adherence to the traditions of Vietnamese cuisine and its resistance to too many mod-Asian detours. Owner/chef Luke Nguyen's family has a long-standing place on the Cabramatta eating scene. This vermilion-and-black-toned inner-city version is squeezed into every available nook and cranny ? front, back and verandah ? of a slimline Crown Street terrace. Among the classics are irresistible goi cuon and bi cuon (ricepaper rolls), the Nguyen clan?s gorgeous cari de (goat curry), wrap-your-owns such as chao tom (prawn paste on sugar cane) or canh chua ? sweet white fish chunks in a pineapple-tangy fish broth, southern style. Someone is always on hand to explain wrapping methods and ingredients or to suggest a well-balanced order. Let them tempt you with a stir-fry Vietnamese-style, or soft-shell crab on green ...
