" I was a bit hesitant to try Pho Lantern based on mixed reviews, but now I have to say I was pleasantly surprised! We started with the fried spring rolls which were perfectly crispy and stuffed with goodies. The star of the meal was undoubtedly the pho; it was rich, savory, and comforting - just what I needed on a chilly day. I do wish the decor was a bit more vibrant, but that didn't detract much from the experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a disappointing experience at Pho Lantern. The bun bo hue lacked flavor and did not resemble authentic versions I have tried in the past. The service was fine, but when I mentioned my dish wasn’t as expected, the response felt a bit dismissive. I saw others enjoy their meals, so I may give them another try, though. Fingers crossed that my next visit will be better. " (*Curated Review*)

" While the ambiance of Pho Lantern is inviting, the food could use some improvement. I ordered a vegetable pho, and while it was decent, it didn’t wow me. I appreciated the service though; our waitress was very friendly and attentive. I might come back to try a different dish, but my first experience didn't quite live up to the hype. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was quite impressed with Pho Lantern! When I first walked in, I was greeted warmly by the staff. I ordered the seafood combination pho, which was rich and filled with different seafood options. It’s definitely not an experience you want to miss if you appreciate authentic Vietnamese flavors! The atmosphere is homey, making it an enjoyable spot to linger! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a lovely restaurant! The pho was delicious, and I was impressed by the size of the portions. The service was attentive and kind throughout our visit. The overall atmosphere is vibrant, which adds to the enjoyable dining experience. I would certainly come back again. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't praise Pho Lantern enough! My husband and I ordered the seafood pho and bun bo hue, and both were divine! The flavors were authentic, and we loved how fresh everything tasted. Our server was exceptional—friendly and attentive without being overbearing. I also appreciated the variety of vegetarian options. This place truly deserves its accolades! " (*Curated Review*)

" Pho Lantern has excellent food but could improve on the speed of service. The pho broth was rich and flavorful, but it took quite a while to arrive. I loved the dumplings, they were a highlight! Overall, it's a quaint little restaurant that's worth a visit for good Vietnamese food. " (*Curated Review*)
