Red Lantern Japanese Cuisine

"Red Lantern Japanese Cuisine at 17446 Lorain Avenue in the Kamms Corners shopping center, hits the mark on pretty much everything. I arrived Christmas evening. As depicted in the movie "Christmas Story", asian restaurants are the traditional go-to place for Christmas dinner. Not surprisingly, RLJC was busy. The atmosphere is modern and minimalist with a warm red glow throughout. I appreciated the calm atmosphere that was easy to enjoy a conversation in. You're welcomed by a display of traditional Japanese Kimonos, a fully stocked bar and sushiya. Restaurants are often "dinged" because of poor service. I cannot say enough about the great service I received. I had a waitress and a host who followed up three times to ensure we were completely satisfied. The images are for the Sashimi Deluxe (raw fish) and the House Sushi Dinner - both in the $28.00 range. Both dinners were presented so artfully, I hated to eat it. The sashimi was resting on spinach leaves and ice; the ice keeping the fresh flavor of the raw fish. I half expected my sashimi to jump off the table it was so fresh and delicious. The rolls had satisfying firmness and texture and did not fall apart even with my clumsy mishandling of the chopsticks. I highly recommend you bring the whole family for your next Christmas dinner - or any other special occasion. ."

"Been here twice and the service is so good. The food is good and the vibe is chill. I am so happy there is ramen in Kamms now. Can’t wait to go back. 12/23/23 Came tonight for a sushi roll. Not going to lie, one of the best rolls I’ve had in a very long time. Angry dragon. Also got miso and hot sake."

"The place was empty when we went in and after dining I’m confused as to why they aren’t busier. The service was good. The prices were good. The food was good, but our Ramen bowls were a bit bland. The volcano roll was great. We also ordered jasmine tea."

"This is a hidden gem. So good and yet not crowded. You must give this place a try. We had the hibachi special. Pick your meat, shrimp, chicken or just veggies. You get soup and rice and or noodles. I had the shrimp and my friend had the steak. Both were delicious. Very nicely presented. They also have ramen noodle bowls. We will definitely be back to try more. Help spread the word and help this owner stay in Kamms corner. Beautiful setting for a delicious meal with a full bar. Very reasonable prices."

"I'm glad Red Lantern has made a come-back in a Japanese cuisine restaurant. Had the hibachi combo of ribeye and scallops. The other dish was meat broth ramen with steak. I am looking forward to trying the sushi combos in the near future."
