It's all around bad, yeah; sorry. Your rendition of bulgogi, all wrong. It didn't even look like bulgogi, much than taste like it. Smallish slivers of some sort of meat, absent of sesame oil/fresh ginger/red peppper paste - substituted with a thickly, sweet soy, lacking of anything that makes this dish, Korean. Banchan sides, tasted old, lacked flavor and were unappealing. Even a dousing of sriracha, couldn't liven up this worse then medicore version. On another occassion, ordered garlic shrimp - arrived with a heaping (at least 2 cups) mound of rice, around eight lightly battered shrimp, no garlic and perhaps a handful of stir fried snow peas. I left, feeling poor of pocket and taken advantage of. read more

Really awful. The potstickers were frozen out of a bag. The rice tasted like grease. This food is obviously frozen and just heated up quickly, there's absolutely nothing authentic about the food preparation. We asked for extra sauce and the sauce on the side was what should have gone directly onto the product in the first place plus adding extra sauce. I asked for mixed vegetables instead of broccoli and instead of getting mixed vegetables on the side, they chopped up a snow pea and fried it up with the rice, which was not what I requested, then, they charged 1.50 extra. Stay away, this place is disgusting. read more

Food is fantastic every time! The service is also amazing. The one bartender/ server they have is able to keep up with all the costumers and is very personal! She told me all about her love for delectable nuts and how she spends her only day off practicing her faith. I highly recommend this hidden gem of a spot! read more

I've lived in Lancaster for 10 years. Despite driving by from time to time I'd not been inside. But a friend from out of town found this location and wanted to go so we went. The restaurant is really lovely inside. Much different than the outside suggests. It's lovely inside. A bit romantic. Service was great. The food seemed fresh and tasty. Our only negative comment was that all the various rolls we ordered were all just slammed together on one plate-- so not the most appetizing look. So we missed a little bit more presentation. But I'd definitely go again! read more

Sorry but this place has gone downhill. The food was barely edible. Shrimp in pad Thai was frozen, dry and overcooked. Sushi was cold so probably was premade. Old scratched silverware and everything looking shabby. Can't recommend. read more

My fiance & I came here for dinner on Thanksgiving as our family was out of town & it was one of the few places in Lancaster open to a decent time. The staff was friendly & attentive, the place was clean, and had a nice atmosphere. My partner & I both ordered the lychee cocktail. I like my drinks strong, but it was too strong for me. I couldn't taste anything other than gin, and I found it a bit disappointing. My partner & I ordered several different types of sushi as well as the lo mein with chicken. The sushi was fantastic! My favorite was the Angel Maki roll. Sadly the lo mein had little flavor & was more oily than anything. There were also very few vegetables for the amount of noodles that were given. Overall it wasn't a bad experience, but it was just okay. There are a lot of other really fantastic Asian restaurants around Lancaster & I don't think I'll be back. Not worth it in my personal opinion. read more

It has been quite some time since I have been here and, to be honest, for no good reason. I decided to order takeout this week and ended up getting Kung Pao Chicken for lunch. As usual,I asked for my dish to be spicy. They prepared it spicy to my specifications, which I appreciated. I noticed, upon entering the restaurant to pick up my food, that they had a dry erase board inside highlighting several Korean dishes that they offered. I am glad that I saw this because their website menu did not show these dishes as available options. I really wanted to make sure that I can come back to try some of these Korean dishes and kept thinking to myself on my way back to the office that I hoped the food I ordered today was good. I did end up returning and this time I dined in and ordered their japchae. It came out and I was pleased with the dish and the waitress was friendly and helpful. I ended up calling a third time to order take out again after noticing they had a Kung Pao lo mein option on their menu. This is an item that I certainly have never seen before but combined two of my favorite dishes so I needed to try it. Again, I ordered it spicy and it delivered. I have 'rediscovered' this restaurant and plan on going back to try some more of their Korean options. read more

Service was friendly and fairly fast. The food wasn't bad but not quite up to par. Nothing we had was bad, but it was just okay. The atmosphere was pretty nice though, and if you can get them to set you in front of the fish tank. The sushi tasted off to us, not off as in spoiled, but we didn't really care for the seasonings, especially the spicy tuna. Same with the seaweed salad. Foods taste different at every restaurant, but it just tasted so different here, and to us it wasn't in a good way. The Teriyaki Chicken was the best item we tried but it wasn't anything special. I'd say give it a try, but don't set your expectations too high. read more

Just...no. The service was lovely, so no complaints there, but this is not the place to go for authentic Japanese food. We ordered a mix of sushi as well as a hot dish and everything was fair...if you already have low expectations. The search continues... read more

Ordered dinner from Uber eats. Ordered a few sushi rolls which were okay. Asked for utensils for two people but only got one set of chopsticks. Nothing special but an okay meal read more

This place doesn't look like much on the outside. The inside is actually decent. The service was too notch and impeccable. The hot appetizers we ordered came out very quickly. Spring rolls, crab Rangoon, pot stickers, were al excellent. The sushi we ordered was fresh and tremendous. I will defiantly return. My family had a great experience. read more

I got the seafood risotto at this establishment. The dish was presented well, and it had a decent amount of shrimp, crab. The creamy rice was flavorful. In the description of the dish, it was supposed to have scallops in it. I only got one scallop. This is why it lost a star. read more

This place is incredible. Tried for first time last Friday. Had a very delightful young waitress. Very personable. Food was incredible. Came back tonight and once again it was awesome! Nick was our waiter and he was great! Hope to be back as soon as shut down is over. read more

Wonderful atmosphere and superb food and drinks. Only place I know of to buy a lychee cocktail We enjoyed shrimp and vegetable tempura, homemade shrimp wonton soup, gun powder beef and general Tso's. Saw beautiful sushi being delivered to tables nearby. You can enjoy great food and conversation here. read more

The food and flavor was so much better than the last time. I would like to see some updates though this decor is very stale. I have been coming since 2006 and everything looks the same. A coat of outside paint new floors or carpet updated lighting, new color napkins would all make a fresh difference. read more

We love their sushi, Hong Kong noodles, and seafood risotto. We are never disappointed!

Great sushi! I had a couple of hours to spare while waiting for a group and stumbled upon this place. Great sushi for this area and very friendly staff! Would recommend read more

I've eaten here numerous times for takeout and they have a really good Singapore Rice Noodles with shrimp. I just took my kids (2) and neighbor kids (2) in for an early dinner before they all head off to various practices. We won't be back. Our server seemed like she could care less that we were there. It took us about 20 minutes to get our drinks and order our dinner. Also, most servers know that when kids have finished eating, you don't make them and their parents sit for 20 minutes trying to flag you down for their check. Restaurant maybe had 8 other people in it total. $100 not well spent and it's definitely not good enough food to tolerate this. read more

Came here the other night and had an exceptional time. Our server was quick and very friendly. They have a full bar with a decent selection of cocktails, beers, and saki. We ordered several rolls for the table as well as saki to share. Every single roll we ordered was incredible. We will definitely be coming back soon! read more

I've come to understand that living in Lancaster means bland food - not terrible mind you - but mostly devoid of any outstanding flavor. Blue Pacific is the exception. This is a very good sushi place and far better than I expected for Lancaster, PA. Very fresh, very crisp tasting sushi. The sweet potato tempura maki is my personal favorite - and very substantial sized - mind you. Edemame comes at at the perfect temp and lightly salted. My personal favorite is the seaweed salad. This is the most delicious seaweed salad I've had any any sushi place. Perfect. read more

Late night with the boss and some coworkers. We had been eyeing this place for a whole year and we finally got the chance! Although, no offense, I don't know why I was eyeing it because the place is legitimately ugly from the outside. It doesn't even look like it has any business serving sushi. But it does! And it was great! Thank goodness I held off my judgments until I got inside because it was honestly so beautiful! The coloring scheme was relaxing and it had this under the sea theme that I was living for. The floors were clean, the counters were shiny, the tables didn't wobble, and the chairs were comfy. Just blew me away because my expectations were so low. They had my favourite: lychee drink. It's really just canned lychees with some lychee syrup and water, but it was still good! It's kind of nostalgic for me, so whenever I see it on a menu, I order it. My coworkers ordered a couple of hot dishes. I'm a sushi gal, so I stuck to my sushi. My normal salmon roll with some seaweed salad. It was your average sushi and I loved it. They didn't try to jazz it up or add mysterious looking sauce to it (like that one sushi joint I'll never go to again that made designs on their plates using chocolate sauce... and here I was thinking it was soy sauce syrup or something). I do have to mention the walnut shrimp my boss ordered. She loved it. She said it was cooked perfectly and the flavours were so good. Everyone enjoyed their meals and we had a great time. Hopefully we get a chance to hit up Blue Pacific again this year. read more

Was in town for a sports tournament and this place was close to the restraint. They offer take out which was another plus. The restraint ambiance was really nice. Loved the sushi bar and dining area with the huge aquarium. The miso soup didn't have much flavor and didn't add much to the meal. I ordered a sushi combo which came with 4 different type of sushi. The two fancier types were fantastic. Wish there was a little more spice. The other two were the basic tuna and salmon. The were very basic and also didn't add value to the meal. All in all, don't be afraid to order more extravagant types of sushi. read more

With the exception of the edamame (soybeans, hard to mess up), ALL of the food we ordered was a poor rendition of what it should have been! The food had no flavor, the fish was funky-fishy (old), miso soup watered down, and curry had no substance. Our server was the only waiter in the entire place and became confused with the orders from the different tables. Overall, an unpleasant experience. As travelers passing through, I can safety state that we shall not return. PS: heads up--if you have any allergies to shellfish, you should not go in this place without an Epi-pen! read more

Just a Fantastic food experience all around. Spectacular variety on their menu. Pearl Sake is fantastic especially since no PA liquor store I've been to sells it. I recommend asking for a sample because it may not be everyone's favorite. The sushi selection is great and fresh. You literally cannot go wrong with any choice. If you are apprehensive to try raw Sushi, everything on the menu is well put together telling you what is cooked or uncooked. If you're not getting sushi the menu is very informative as well. The wait staff is fabulous. They're not obnoxiously nice, but direct, informative and on top of their game. I highly recommend asking your server for what they recommend on the menu if you are unsure what to get, you won't be disappointed. The food presentation is top notch. The restaurant itself is very attractive as well. Only things I can say negatively about this place is that my experience with appetizers is slightly above average. They aren't bad by all means but I'd just skip them as everything else is worth the wait. Also it's slightly expensive for my taste however for the food quality and service I'd say the price is justified read more

To find a sushi place in PA, was hard but it was surprising that this place had really good quality food. I have tried many sushi places all over the U.S. so I know of places that may be cheaper with the same quality but for a sushi place in PA, that delivered, the quality and the delivery was on point! I recommend checking this place out whenever you are in the Lancaster, PA area. read more

I would give this place zero stars if I could! We had sushi from here on the 15th for a work function and began experiencing stomach upset that evening. This has continued through today, so I reached out to my primary care provider only to find out I have a parasite! I will never eat here again and I will make sure I tell everyone to avoid this place like the plague. read more

The place is fantastic. Had Martini's at the bar before dinner. Very well made and Blue Cheese Stuffed Olives. We always like to sit at the Sushi Bar to watch the Chef. He is awesome. Our Sushi Sashimi combo platter was excellent. Service was spot on. read more

The sushi ok. Every time I've gotten food from this place the sushi is warm. The spicy tuna roll is always the one I have the most problem with. 1. it's ALWAYS warm, and 2. The consistency of the sushi is honestly terrible, the best way to describe it honestly feels like you're eating poop. Another thing about this place is if you check the health report, (which I don't usually check) it's pretty bad. All and all, don't eat here. read more

Our family brought my father here for Father's Day 2018. What a surprise in the middle of Lancaster County. You would not expect to find such quality sushi in the middle of Amish Country. After all, sushi is not known to be a Pennsylvania Dutch food. ;) There sushi is unlike any other sushi I've had, save higher end restaurants in larger cities. Unlike most sushi restaurants, they do not use rice as a filler. Instead, the rice is a compliment to the star, the fish. The sushi wrappers (the seaweed) are unique. They taste different and have a different texture than your standard sushi restaurants. The sashimi is almost 50-75% thicker cut than most other places and is very "fresh". The Bento Box meals give you plenty of food. This is a definite "must go" if you're in the Lancaster, PA and you're hankering for sushi. read more

Quite possibly the worst sushi I've ever had. I also go potstickers and they were gooey and tasteless. Never again.

Blue Pacific used to be one of my favorite sushi places, but recently every time I order sushi it does not taste fresh and it is not worth the price, spent almost $50 during quarantine to help fill my sushi cravings and was just disappointed. The only thing I still like from here is their fried rice. read more

Only about 10 minutes from the Rockvale and Tanger outlets in Lancaster, this restaurant is worth the trip. The sushi is incredible. We also ordered spare ribs and cream cheese filled wontons, which were both topnotch. Finally my wife and I shared an order of shrimp fried rice that tasted great and was loaded with shrimp. We will definitely be back! read more

When driving past this place, it never seems to be busy, which is always a concern of mine, but 2 weeks ago decided to try it out anyways. I can say that all employees that I came in contact with were very friendly and prompt in service. When ordering food, it came out VERy quickly, and was prepared well there was little wait time, especially with the sushi (which is made at the "bar" in front). You do get very large portions here, so there should be no reason to leave still hungry. When it came to the taste of the food, my boyfriend was very pleased with his sushi. When it came to the main meals, there was nothing special about them, but they did taste like every other Chinese restaurant, so that was a good thing. Overall, not a bad place to eat if you are in the mood for Chinese or Sushi read more

What could have been a delightful experience at Blue Pacific was unfortunately soured by a less than friendly server there. My friend and I went there for dinner and sat at the sushi bar, not knowing if we wanted sushi or not. (We were mesmerized by the light up counter top and the hostess told us we could still order from the regular menu if we sat there.) Our server silently gave us each a glass of water and then disappeared for several minutes. When neither of us put an order in for sushi, he came up to us and said (and I quote) "Are you going to order sushi or NOT?" When we answered that we thought we could order anything he said, "you're only supposed to sit at the sushi bar if you're ordering sushi. You can stay for now, but NEXT TIME..." then he wandered off. How baffled we were, considering we were the only two people sitting at the bar in a virtually empty restaurant. Rudeness aside, the kung pao chicken I ordered was very tasty, although for a restaurant with fancy aquariums and light up bar counters, I was rather underwhelmed with their slippery plastic chop sticks, which were practically impossible to eat with. My friend's order of General Tso's appeared to be undercooked, and she had to muster up every ounce of courage just to ask our unpleasant server for a properly cooked meal. He brought her a new dish in a few minutes without even saying a word. If I ever go to Blue Pacific again, maybe I'll actually give the sushi bar a real try (they had a decent looking selection), but above anything else on the menu, I would make sure to order a server who doesn't have his panties in such a twist. read more

Wow!!! What a hidden gem!! My bf and I were in Lancaster, hoping to check out the PA Dutch Country and snag some shoo-fly pies. We knew we didn't feel like eating at any kind of family style buffet where everyone sits together at a communal table. (UGH!!!!!) So...we decided to try out Blue Pacific, since we already knew of one near us at the KOP mall. The decor was TACKY!!!!!!!! It could use a renovation and a few bulbs in their sign outside.Nevertheless, I could tell it's a pretty popular place in Lancaster... they had a full house inside! We ordered Crab Wontons for an appetizer. They were very tasty and piping hot. I ordered Crabcakes w/ peach sauce, garlic potatos and black bean salsa. My bf ordered Seafood Risotto w/ crab, shrimp and scallops. Well, when his food came, it was absolutely STEAMING.... mine, on the other hand was ICE COLD!!! Our waitress was wonderful, and she was right on it, and reheated my food and brought it back promptly. We really enjoyed our food. In fact, it was a lot better than I thought it would be. Next time we go, I will get what my bf got. The service was not bad. They kept our water glasses full and there was plenty of ice in them. This is pretty important to me since I usually drink water with my food and then have a cup of hot tea with dessert. Speaking of dessert, we were too full to have any, but the desserts they offer sounded delicious. I think my bf and I will definitely return to Blue Pacific. read more

My first review on Yelp: I'm on a business trip 250 miles from home; used Google Maps on my iPhone to find the closest Sushi. Since I'm alone, I started exploring Yelp while waiting for the Miso soup. My first time at this chain restaurant. Sushi was above average but not the best I've ever had. Overall, I enjoyed it. The main surprise was the final bill: More expensive than most. So neither the food or the price merits 5 stars. read more

Atmosphere was 5/5, and the fish tanks were beautifully kept. Everything seemed very clean and professional. Service was 5/5 and our food came in a timely fashion. Food was 4.5/5.
