The Chinese Lantern is the go-to place for authentic Chinese dishes in Hamilton. The restaurant is dimly lit and quiet, so it’s perfect for a sit-down meal. They have the dependable chop suey, egg foo young and lo mein, but the chef’s suggestions are where it’s at. There’s the Steak Kew (beef tenderloin chunks and vegetables in brown sauce), or the Hong Kong Steak (a New York strip with vegetables and gravy). The Lemon Fish and the Seafood Triple Crown (shrimp, crab and scallops) will make any seafood lover drool. In the mood for noodles? Try the Curry Adventure (rice noodle stir-fry with curry) or the Combo Pho Saigonese (chicken and shrimp with rice noodles).
