I rarely eat Japanese food, but I went because my girlfriend frequents this restaurant. I am glad I did go! There were plenty of choices for me as a vegan. And everyone else enjoyed the sushi. Everything was brought to the table beautifully prepared and tasty! Our server was attentive to our needs and patiently explained everything to me as I was new to the experience. I will definitely be going back to try other dishes!

This place was amazing! Got seated right away and felt very cared for. My water glass was always full which I really appreciated. The atmosphere of the place was wonderful! Decorated very nicely for the holidays. And of course the food was incredible! Got a couple of sushi rolls, the salmon spring rolls, edamame and mochi ice cream for dessert. Loved it all, would highly recommend this place!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had an amazing experience at the grand opening of Paper Lantern in Montclair! From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting (NY vibe) with beautiful décor that perfectly complemented the restaurant's modern yet cozy vibe. The food was absolutely phenomenal—each dish was crafted with such care and bold flavors that left a lasting impression. Juicy pan fried buns and outstanding shrimp dumplings. Peppercorn fish was perfection the flavor did not overpower the dish! Service was top-notch as well. The staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, making great recommendations. You can tell that a lot of passion and effort went into creating this restaurant, and it truly shows. Montclair just gained an incredible new dining spot, and I can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend checking out Paper Lantern for an unforgettable meal.

I went to Paper Lantern yesterday, a charming Chinese spot that lulled me into a false sense of security with its elegant decor and smiling staff. I ordered the chicken with chili—with fresh chilies, mind you—and what followed was less of a dinner and more of a spiritual awakening. One bite in, I knew I had made a mistake. Two bites in, I began drafting a letter to my intestines, apologizing for everything I was about to put them through. By the third bite, I was ready to light incense and pray to every known deity across all faiths, past and present, for mercy before my inevitable showdown next morning. I drank a whole bottle of sparkling water like it was a crisp mountain stream—still, flat, blessed. I didn’t sip. I gulped. I chugged. I made eye contact with the server like, “Sir, am I going to survive this?” But oh, it was good. Like dangerously good. The scallion pancakes? Crispy, chewy little miracles. The cucumber salad? Cool, refreshing, and frankly, the only thing keeping my taste buds from submitting a formal HR complaint. The Singapore noodles? Glorious. Lightly spiced, stir-fried perfection with just enough curry to whisper, “See? Not all spice wants to kill you.” So yes, Paper Lantern is delicious. Just know this: if you order the chicken with chili, prepare for a flavor experience so intense you might briefly leave your body. 10/10 would eat again—with a fire extinguisher on standby.

It is a small, unassuming restaurant from the sign outside. When you enter you can smell the scent of GREAT food. The ambiance is calming into an elegant ambiance. The servers are knowledgeable and fun, high energy and calming. The menu is diverse and every single dish we ordered was delicious. WALNUT SHRIMP one of a kind...., soups were excellent, spring rolls YUM! I will definitely be going back with ALL my friends. Ample parking.

Had to give a low rating overall because I'm angry at the latest lunch menu deletion. First the salad was gone, even though it remained listed on the menu. Now the soup is gone. Prices keep going up, food keeps getting deleted. Not a good deal anymore. They've lost a steady customer to bad management for pennies. Going to Panda Express or another place that doesn't continue to become less of what they were for more $$$.

10/10 Must Try!! Everything had flavor including the Noodles, NONE of the Meat was Dry or Hard…. Service Great!! And they DO NOT serve Small Portions At All !!! First time customers, we will be coming back….😍

I don’t know how this place has even 4 stars. The food is absolutely horrific. They don’t even hook it up like how they show on TikTok. I decided to give them another chance and instantly regretted it . Food is disgusting. Milk tea boba was disgusting! You can already tell by the color though, milk tea is suppose to be more of a coffee like brown

The food can a bit on the salty and oily side, nut it's very satisfying. The service was prompt, friendly and personalized. The portion sizes are humongous (I hope they don't take this review as an excuse to downsize them!). The dining area and general ambiance look above average for this kinds of establishments. I wish they had the rooster brand sriracha bottles, soy sauce and white pepper as table condiments. Still, Tasty Goodie Express is probably one of the top Chinese American takeouts in the Pomona area. I think their egg rolls should be $1.75 or 2 for $3. Oh well, you can't have it all! Highly recommend!

I ordered kung pao shrimp a la carte and it was terrible! It was mostly water chestnuts, a few shrimp and none of the typical ingredients usually in kung Pao (see the photo). I do not recommend it.

Ew!!! This place is so overpriced, and the food is gross! This is my order of Mongolian beef and my stomach hurts so bad after trying to eat it. It looks like I ordered onions with a small side of beef. Where is the meat?! I attached a picture of the onion to meat ratio. And this cost $16. If you want fried rice, that is 1.50 extra. The "fried" rice is literally steamed rice with soy sauce added in. There's so many cheaper options nearby. Never again!

I always order the beef lo mein, orange chicken (not too spicy), and egg rolls, and they never disappoint! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. Great portions and quick service. Highly recommend if you're looking for delicious Chinese takeout!

We ordered from here for the first time this evening, and overall it was a good choice. The portions were quite generous and they gave a quart of white rice! We had beef and broccoli, and the beef was tender and plenty of broccoli that was well cooked. It’s a little sweeter than I’m used to, as I like my food salty yet it was still tasty. The orange chicken was well cooked with a nice flavor. Most of all, I like supporting a small family business.

This is one of the best Chinese restaurants in the area. The General Tso chicken is really good. The sauce is tasty and the chicken is crispy. The egg rolls are also pretty good. There crab rangoons are alright there a little sweeter then I like. And the chicken wings are great. The combination platter price is very reasonable as well. The food isn’t overly greasy and tastes great.

My kids and I really liked this restaurant when ordering noodles on a rainy evening. We tried chow mein, lo mein, and mei fun. All the noodles, beef, chicken, and shrimp was cooked to perfection. There were lots of crunchy, fresh vegetables too.

I wanted to try this place and was disappointed. I ordered fried chicken and house special rice. The chicken was a 4 and the was a -1. The rice had clumps and no taste it also wasn’t much shrimp pork or chicken. I pick good places most of the time.

Asian worker had an attitude while serving our plates, VERY small portions, counted 6 small teriyaki pieces on double teriyaki plate. The food was not warm, chow mein tasted uncooked and was cold, total experience 1/5, would NOT recommend here.

Didn't give right portion for the fried rice and chow mien, also, the dish is over counter for too long. Chow mien i ordered on second plate didn't cook right, they didn't process throughly before they are in the wok, also either cooked over time or stay on steam table too long, they break to pieces. Add picture, you can definitely see it was tied together and didn't cooked.

Everyone is super nice when I come here. 10/10 would definitely recommend 👌 they also have kids cub meals if you don't eat a lot or you're on a budget. Food is always up to par. Never dry, cold or flavorless. Manager is also super nice

This panda keeps shrinking portions!!!. Is an abuse change containers with cone división for give less food Upper picture Mr You QSR , lower the poor imitation of Panda

This place is my favorite to-go Chinese food. They give very nice portions and fair price. I would highly recommend the wonton soup.

Ordered egg foo young got it home to discover NO GRAY now I have an omelette. I called back and got the extremely rude daughter who said “it’s here you can come get it”. I explained that I’m a senior who doesn’t drive and that my daughter who took me to the restaurant had already dropped me off and left. Being a long time customer, I asked if I could just come back tomorrow and get a fresh order or just a refund. Her answer was “I’m not giving a refund or a new order. If you want it come get it now. Needless to say I didn’t nor will I ever give them another dime of my money! They have begun to treat the very people who keep them in business like trash! Well actions speak louder than words! BBB , Montclair Chamber of commerce and all my friends, neighbors etc.

I can’t lie I travel all the way from Union county because this is the best Chinese American cuisine I’ve ever had

Ate here twice and got the General Tso's chicken both times, comes with pork fried rice and egg roll. This place is so consistent and delicious. Price is very reasonable. Will be eating here often.
