About Seven Lanterns Sylvania

Milestone celebrations find an unpretentious home at this Sylvania spot, where multi-course Asian-fusion degustations are delivered with zero stuffiness. Chef David frequently brings plates straight to the table himself, coaching diners on the best way to tackle each course—from wrapping fresh salmon ceviche around tender herbs to letting rice stew into the rich broth of an imperial beef rib hot pot. Groups navigating tricky dietary needs or severe allergies are treated to custom-prepped course alternatives rather than afterthoughts. Plates land in steady succession, moving from crisp sumo dumplings to tender wagyu mains and a warm sticky date pudding.

  • Tableside Chef Guidance: Head chef David personally brings dishes tableside to explain ingredient combinations and the intended technique for eating each course.
  • Custom Dietary Adaptations: The kitchen prepares dedicated course alternatives from scratch for diners with severe allergies, garlic-free diets, or vegan requirements.
  • Paced Multi-Course Menus: Six-course menus feature crowd favorites like crispy sumo dumplings, rich beef rib hot pot, and house-made sticky date pudding.

    The kitchen curates tailored multi-course alternatives from scratch, ensuring guests with complex allergies like garlic, onion, and shellfish dine seamlessly alongside the set menu.

    the chef had already prepped a few dishes for me based on my requirements/requests. The chef brought them out throughout the night and ran me through the details of each dish

Signature dishes curated and guided tableside by the chef

  • Imperial beef rib hot pot

    Our last dish was beef short rib hot pot. I I've had this dish before so I thought it can't be that amazing. But when I tried it, boy I was wrong! You know how people say off the bone? This was actually off the bone! At other places the flavour is watery or bland, but this one packed so much flavour! It was perfect! Then the chef came and showed us how to eat it properly and it was even better!!

    We started with the sumo dumplings. When they came out I looked at how crispy they were and wowww! Probably the best dumplings I've had!

  • Dirty Dancing

    The “Dirty Dancing” quickly became a favourite, but the standout of the evening was the sake—an absolute must‑try, and a testament to the restaurant’s commitment to offering unique and memorable experiences.
