Most Disliked
Some customers mention that Little Lantern can get busy, particularly during peak dinner hours. This can lead to wait times if dining in or delays in takeout orders. A few reviewers note the cash-only policy as a drawback, especially in an era where card payments are commonplace. While most dishes are praised, a rare complaint about flavor inconsistency has been mentioned. However, these instances seem isolated and do not deter regular customers from returning for the comforting meals. Timely pre-orders can help mitigate busy nights.
