Food and service was amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience (including my kids). We chose the 7 course degustation and loved every bite. The black ink calamari was very special too, my girls really enjoyed that dish. David is a wonderful host, super friendly, very passionate and made us feel at home. See you again soon.
Have dined before at their Sylvania location and was happy to see it here in Cronulla. David and his team are lovely and welcoming. The food is delicious, I can't pick a fave..the black ink calamari, bao buns, the tacos..yum as well as the sake sangria. Looking forward to dining here again.
Experienced a wonderful meal at seven lanterns Sylvania last night. David’s attention to detail with the food and the extremely high quality of the cooking created a very special meal. David was a great host with a wicked sense of humour. Highly recommended.
Great food great staff and great service - had a lovely lunch today and will be back. Highly recommend
Had a great lunch here today- staff were excellent, as was the food, highly recommend!
If you want to experience beautiful food in a fun relaxed atmosphere, Seven Lanterns in either Sylvania or Cronulla is the place to head. Highly recommended. A 5 star experience.
Had a great night at the Cronulla restaurant. The food was awesome and David is a brilliant host. Highly recommend a visit.
Always feel special here. Love it! Will be back soon thanks David Parks the food is divine and the company even better!
The most exquisite restaurant I have ever had the privilege of attending!!! Service is second to none which pails into insignificance compared to the cuisine!!!!!
Great food, great service, amiable hosts, can’t ask for more
The food is amazing. The service was just as good.
Thanks for a great night David & team. As always your food & service is second to none. The Cronulla restaurant is amazing! See you next time
A fun experience with delicious food.....highly recommended
Beautiful food. Just need a note on the front door to direct people to the side entrance �
Really delicious food there and friendly staffs! Deserve to have a try! We love the calamari and prawns.

Went there for dinner with a friend. We had 9 course and 11 course. It's quiet place and the chef (or maybe the owner) came to say Hi :) Waiter service was just average. The food looks ok, taste not bad. Had soft shell crab, but i think it was pre cooked, not really fresh.. But their date cake was fabulous! I wish i could have 2.
Local favourite, one of my favourite restaurants in Sydney, great food and service. Have had the opportunity to go to many fine restaurants that offer degustation with a hefty price tag, Seven Lanterns scores high with me and a 1/3 of the price compared to others. Had my birthday here with 30 guests, all extremely happy and impressed - highly recommend
My hubble and I are regulars at Seven Lanterns making a regular pilgrimage from Alexandria for the unique Korean Japanese fusion. We inevitably go for the degustation so we can revisit all our favourites. David is always the perfect host - even setting up a table outside with us during the Summer so we can bring our dogs out with us. Highly recommended!
Hands down, the best meal I've ever eaten. My husband and I had the degustation menu and every dish was a delight and surprise. The service was excellent and the food was served at well timed intervals.
An amazing dining experience! Would highly recommend the degustation, the food was superb! Service was great too with each meal timed perfectly
Had dins here with my better half. we went for the seven course degaustation menu and it was pretty good. the first course, a tuna tartare was the best I think. the prawn was a little disappointing. the beef rib was nice but could have done with a touch of chilli. every wine on the list is available by the glass which is great if you want to have a variety, especially with the Asian food.
all in all, would recommend to a friend.
ps. with some comments re the speed of the courses coming, we sat at 7pm and they were nicely paced. however, i did notice others who came in later had caught up to us.
Visited during mid week. Wasn't sure what to expect from previous reviews. Ordered the degustation which included 7 dishes for $70pp, these made up of smaller entrees with a main and dessert. Very impressed with food and service. Best dishes (IMHO): prawn, beef short ribs and the sticky date pudding. Was told that dishes can be swapped from the main menu. Can't wait to go back.
Would be perfect if the courses came out a tad slower to allow time to talk and enjoy the food and wine. Service was friendly and polite, though we are yet to receive the really great and personal service, that many have commented on. Great for a nice and relaxing dinner. Not overly romantic, but cosy. Portions are on the tiny side, so not for big eaters.

The food as aforementioned through this post, was excellent quality and it was obvious that David and his team go to great care to select fresh produce of a very high standard to make their wonderful dishes. Our fave dishes of the night were the salmon sushi roll and the imperial beef rib – two must trys!
I ate here on new years eve and it was fantastic. The food is perfect
FORGET THE NAYSAYERS! There are 3 qualities for restaurant foods - tasty, fast and cheap - but you can only pick any 2. 7 lanterns more then delivers on the first 2. The degustation was quite simply the best meal of my life and despite going on a saturday night service was prompt. Delicious meat that melts in your mouth, tantalising tasters...I honestly cannot pick the best part of this meal. Will be back everytime im in Sydney
I'm so excited to have found seven lanterns that I joined this site to write about it. We finally have a hatted Japanese restaurant (by Gault Millau) right here in the SHIRE! When I was in Europe I followed GM's guide religiously and never been disappointed so I bought the first Australian version and I found this place and went last night. Despite their one hat status the price was very reasonable - 7 course at $65 and the food was original and tasted sensational. I'm craving the pork belly even as I write. I always had to travel reluctantly over the bridge to join my friends for jap/Korean meal but not any more. We need more restaurants like seven lanterns to take us shire people seriously. Good on you seven lanterns. I'll be back for sure!
Great restaurant in the shire. We have only been to this place once but thoroughly enjoyed the experience. from being greeted to close the service was great, even the owner was active in service. The food equalled the service. We were the lasts ones to leave but that was not a problem for the staff. Will be back to Seven Lanterns again and again. Well done on providing a great restaurant for the Shire to enjoy
FANTASTIC. Absolutely loved this place, service great, food fantastic, staff wonderful I would and I am recommending this to everyone I meet!
So glad I found this place. Great for a dinner and business meeting during the week. Host was friendly and attentive. Food was very tasty. Will be back to try some more from the menu!

Seven Lanterns Degustation Review. I can't help but to love this restaurant. From the minute you walk through the door to the time you leave the vibe is sensational.
We had a group of 7 with some new diners and some existing with me to show and experience the wonderful asian fusion dishes.
Everyone decided on the 7 course Royal Degustation and at $50 why would you do anything different!
Yet again I find myself having to make a serious effort to find any flaws in the food. From the simple yet mouth watering salad to start all the way through to the King Prawn and Black Angus Beef there are no dissapointments.
This Restaurant is not pretentious, the food gives an almost fine dining feel without the pompousness usually associated with it. Simply put, its honest... From the food to the staff.
There is no silly food throwing here, what you get is appreciation for both the diners and the food that is presented. The warm and inviting staff matched with the owner "David" who is constantly on the floor is unmatched in most, if not any restaurants in Sydney.
So again we will return to this fantastic restaurant.
Had a great time here on a busy NYE. Ordered the 8 course degustation and enjoyed every dish. We were there for about 3hrs but there was usually an appropriate amount of time between each course. The head chef is a character and is mostly out with the diners serving and explaining the dishes which made for a fun experience.
Excellent service, delicious food and a great setting. The degustation menu with matching wines was quite an experience! Loved it all
We went to Seven Lanterns to celebrate a friend's birthday dinner. For starters we had Salmon with jalepenos and tuna carpacio. The starters were really delicious and we finished it up fast.
For mains we had the beef rib hotpot, pork ribs, angry chicken (spicy chicken), wagyu steak and lamb cutlets. The food is very tasty and everyone enjoyed themselves.
Chef was super friendly and was in the floor serving and chatting with us.
Amazing food and service, must try the 8 course set menu won’t regret it !!!
Delicious and unique food combinations topped off with fantastic customer service.

I really did not know what to expect when I walked in. But a small restaurants like that can be a great find when it is good. The prawns was nicely done, heavy smokey flavor went well with mayo. I wish there was more of it. The star of the dish will have to be the spicier version of the angry bird. The chef uses different kind of chillies to bring out the different character of the dish. ( I was later told that there were 3 types of chillies ) Not every often you get a good amount of heat with flavor. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere is great.
I look forward to my next visit.
Amazing service and equalling amazing food. The combination of ingredients and flavours is just so good. The owner is charismatic, welcoming and funny. I cannot speak highly enough about this restaurant. We will be regulars here.
