Food and service were great! We will return many more times. I was amazed at at the cleanliness and friendly staff My grandson is a sushi fan and said it was great. I don't eat sushi but had many other choices to choose from! read more

We stopped by Lantern Sushi close to closing time, and the staff was still incredibly kind and quick to help us. My husband and I definitely over-ordered, our eyes were bigger than our stomachs, but they handled it graciously and we only ended up paying about $6 extra for the leftovers. The sushi was fresh, delicious, and served hot. Everything tasted great. Overall, a really pleasant experience, especially considering how late we came in. Yum! read more

Quick summary: mediocre (albeit pretty) sushi in a noisy setting reminiscent of a college dining hall. You get what you pay for... Frederick has several places to find fresh sushi and sashimi. Given the cost of top-notch ingredients, dinner can be a pricey experience. At an all-you-can-eat price of $25.99 for dinner (less at lunch), Lantern Sushi provides a real bang-bang for the buck (pun intended). Set in a former Pizza Hut, Lantern has an inviting decor - but the acoustics are terrible. Spousal Unit and I struggled to hold any kind of conversation, even before the kids at the table behind us started yelling, without any response from their parents. Four Hispanic (!) sushi chefs pumped out an amazing variety and volume of sushi - mostly rolls, but sashimi is available for an additional price. The sushi looked better than it tasted; the rice was woefully underseasoned, the nori was a long way from bite-through, and the fish was underwhelming. Spicy tuna was finely minced, without any texture. The end pieces of the Spider roll were the only ones tasting anything like fried soft shell crab. White tuna had an oily off taste; escolar substituted for albacore maybe? Nothing was bad, nothing was great; everything was mediocre. Would I go back? Probably not; Frederick offers far better sushi in other restaurants. But I tried... read more

Today, my son and I decided to eat at Panda Sushi for our monthly lunch date. We were greeted and seated right away - maybe because it was after the lunch crowd left. Plenty of room and table were clean. Our server came and took our orders quickly. She is very friendly. We didn't wait very long to start getting our appetizer and they were piping hot. We started with tea, miso soup, shrimp shumai, and crab rangoon. All were tasty but my favorite was the shrimp shumai. Order at least three times. Then we ordered the following sushi rolls: salmon, yellow fin, volcano, dragon, and shrimp tempura. It was very good. My son finished with strawberry ice cream. I couldn't eat dessert because I was so full. All these for under $40. You can't beat that! If you want quick service, tasty food, and good value - check them out! read more

The place is huge. Lots of tables, and open. The price you can't beat, the menu is good and big. Plates are small but rolls come by 8. We ordered a lot but most of the rolls were not thick slices of actual fish. A lot of the mushy spicy tuna, ect. Soup came out within seconds, just wish it had more tofu in it, just all broth. Overall it was good, would probably come back just based off the price. The yum yum sauce was darker than normal and had like a honey mustard flavor to it. The steak was good, not rare like I asked but juicy. read more

I'm so happy that Frederick has a wonderful all you can eat sushi please right in the Golden Mile. It's all you can eat that includes appetizers, salads, sushi, hibachi and time and noodle dishes. You can get dessert too. It's included. Drinks are not included, but they are only 2.50 each and no alcohol. It's clean and not a buffet. They actually bring you whatever you order. It's fresh and it's great. It's not romantic. It is more like a diner experience, but with Asian food. 15.99 lunch M-F or 23.99 all other times and dinner. We went on a Sunday and didn't wait to get on, but it was very full and we were lucky to get the last space in the parking lot. It looks like they can accommodate a party of 8 easily fyi. read more

Worst sushi I've ever eaten. The only way to improve is to go out of business. You don't put lousy sauces on any sushi. You sashimi is not 2 ultra thin slices of fish and there is no wasabi sauce in any good restaurant And ginger is always present but not here. Fuck off read more

Ok service. The attitude and professionalism of the workers here are always so very rude and arrogant.

Husband and I went on a Friday night, we were seated immediately. Everyone was friendly and service was quick. Nice open area, clean bathrooms and food came quickly. All the fried food was nice and hot and the rolls were quite delicious. Will definitely be back as you cannot beat the price for everything you get. Loved the steak hibachi too, I was surprised at the portion. read more

I finally got to try this restaurant and I was not disappointed. Everything was so fresh and made to order. They have a pretty extensive menu so there should be something for everybody. The only thing I didn't particularly care for is that they bring you the food and, if they get busy, it can take some time for the wait staff to make it back to your table to take your order. Overall, though, we left stuffed and satisfied. I'll definitely be back again. read more

Exactly what to expect for an all you can eat sushi restaurant. We went on the weekend and should have known better. Saturday & Sunday dinner is served all day, however it is not advertised as dinner price, when we got the bill we were a little confused. We ordered many rolls of sushi, heavy on the rice and mediocre fish quality. We also ordered the steak hibachi, which had minimal flavoring and a lot of oil. Plates and silver had water stains on them and what looked to be small pieces of food left over. We went early for lunch, they open at 12pm we were there at 12:15pm, it wasn't too crowded but starting to fill up when we left around 1:30pm. Not a bad choice for wanting to eat a lot of food for a lower price, but don't expect the best quality of food. read more

Tried out Panda Sushi shortly after they opened and was pleasantly surprised! For the price point, the food was solid--quick to come out and really tasty. Service was a little on the slower side when it came to staff checking back in, but it's clear they're still finding their rhythm as a new spot. The team works hard and moves quickly, so a little patience goes a long way. Overall, a great addition to Frederick's food scene, and I'm excited to see how they grow! read more

Lantern Sushi - Chicken Hibachi - Japanese Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

Fair sushi. Nothing bad, nothing outstanding either, just fair sushi. No octopus or squid. Great price, and much better sushi than either of the other nearby buffets by far, but only sushi. Sashimi is offered but a very steep upcharge so we haven't tried that. Service is quick, and so far everything is clean and new. read more

We waited months for Panda Sushi to open in Frederick MD. Encouraged they have several other locations. We felt offering Hibachi and Sushi all you can eat would be very successful. The restaurant is freshly renovated, clean, and spacious. Panda Sushi scores the highest points for excellent, friendly service. Appetizers were tasty and plentiful. They offer a substantial variety of very fresh, well seasoned sushi rolls. Sashimi may be ordered for $.50 additional per piece. Hibachi is where they fall short. The meat used for steak and chicken hibachi is tough. The first order came out with only large pieces of sautéed zucchini for vegetables and the fried rice was a complete failure. The shrimp hibachi was well prepared but again lacked appropriate seasoning and vegetables. read more

Panda sushi, now called lantern sushi is amazing for the price! The food is great and brought out pretty quickly. Our waitress was very attentive and sweet. My wife and I enjoyed the decor cleanliness. 10 out of 10 would definitely recommend and will be going again. We went for dinner on a Friday, and even though the parking looked pretty full, there was plenty of open tables inside. read more

Service was really good and not a long wait between orders. Ambiance was simple which served place well. Food was pretty good. Specialty rolls were a bit small but when you can order as much as you want - well it makes up for it read more

Awesome flavor. All you can eat made to order sushi was a new experience for us. All the sushi we tried seemed to have great balance of fish/filling/rice. We really enjoyed the dumplings and rangoon. A very large selection of flavors. Will definitely visit again. read more

Could not have been happier with my visit. The sushi was amazing! Best I've had in Frederick. It was freshly made and best part, no buffet! Service by Amy was great. She was happy and very attentive. Great experience!! read more

Went for Lunch. Seated right away. Temaki using classic maki menu was good. Chef Special Rolls were good, but pretty standard size & quality. Nigiri fish was sliced very thin; small amount of rice. About 50-70% of standard Nigiri piece size. Appetizers are very small and likely from frozen Hmart bags. Service was very good, but it was the start of the lunch service. read more

My children took me to Panda Sushi for my birthday. The dining area is outfitted with booth style seating as well as regular tables. The area is bright with on trend wicker lamp chandeliers. On the tables are napkins, chopsticks, and soy sauce. Ginger and wasabi is available upon request. Parties of 6 or more will be charged gratuity. You can get the typical appetizers( miso soup, spring rolls, avocado salad, seaweed salad, etc). The four stars are for the sushi. All of the sushi that I had was delicious! I wasn't a huge fan of the hibachi but others liked it. I think the teapot being brought to the table added charm but then only one cup was provided. The place was moderately busy so we had to wait for our server but things went smoothly after that. Like another person noted, the place is noisy. It isn't the place for a romantic date. It is a place for sushi lovers to get in, enjoy their food, and leave. Turnover happens pretty quickly as plenty people were clearing plates off of our table. Overall, I would recommend this place and I intend to visit them again. read more

Service was great but the quality of the food wasn't. It would be better if they charged more and make the quality of the food better.

Panda Sushi is fantastic. The food is made fresh when you order it and is delicious. I expected smaller portions since it is all you can eat, but we were wrong. We received full 8 piece sushi rolls. Our server, Linda, was attentive and friendly. We will definitely be visiting often. read more

i try twice i one night , the server don't mention the cut off time and now over 25 min waiting for 2 sushi was bot too busy on saturday 01/30 sorry guy's I don't came anymore read more

Went for lunch tried seven items. Chicken dumplings little frozen nothings. Sushi was Chinese buffet quality. Chicken with noodles turned out to spaghetti with fragments of chicken. Drinks are another $2,50 so my check was $ 19.60 plus tip. Bright spot was my server Amy was very attentive WON'T be BACK read more

Great Sushi. Great Value. Sashimi tuna was dark red; good grade. Our server was new, and made some glowing errors, but that can get better with time. Ambiance was irritating. No carpeting, no acoustic treatments on ceiling or wall. Very noisy at just 70% of capacity. Hard to speak with your dining companions on the other side of the table without raising your voice. Other than that, I'd recommend every Sushi lover to dine here. Plenty of handicap parking is a plus. read more
