“Red Lantern” is often symbolic of warmth, prosperity, or tradition in Asian cultures. That was why the name was chosen for Red Lantern Asian Fusion when the owners, Tiffany Lin and Hung Pham opened the establishment six years ago in Yelm.
They offer an elegant asian dining experience in the heart of downtown Yelm. When you walk in you notice a swanky atmosphere which is a delight and you are greeted with hospitality and a warm smile.
“The reason why we are opening the restaurant in Yelm is that Yelm is a warm, close-knit community. I started Red Lantern to share the recipes I grew up with and learned for my sisters and re-imagined them for today’s diners. I wanted to create a place where people could taste the diversity of Asian cuisine in one spot.”. “says the owner Hung Pham
Red Lantern is a boutique fusion restaurant that marries together flavors from China, Thailand, and Vietnam with a modern twist with the goal to offer authentic yet innovative Asian cuisine in Yelm.
“Our yellow chicken curry and almond-crusted chicken are very popular, and our signature dish is yang chow fried rice. We also offer seasonal specials so there’s always something new to try.” says Pham.
They owners are proud to be part of the Yelm community and they host local events, support school fundraisers, and strive to be a gathering place for both everyday meals and special celebrations.
“For me, Success isn’t just about great food—it’s about the full experience. A warm greeting, timely service, clean atmosphere, and consistent quality are all just as important. A restaurant should feel like home to regulars and new visitors alike”, says Tiffany Lin.
