Lantern House Asian Bistro

As always the food is delicious, service is excellent and the restaurant is always clean. Great place to meet friends. Priced right and convenient location.

Outstanding service, Gordon treats you like family. He's great!. Portions are huge, I couldn't eat 1/4 of it. Leftovers for dinner and lunch! The food is delicious, must get hot and sour soup, lomein yummy, and Buddha's delight made special with added shrimp. They've updated dining room, beautiful new pictures. If you're looking for great food at a great price, then you will love Lantern House! P.S they haven't raised their prices since before covid!

Lantern House Asian Bistro was amazing when they first opened up. The food was cooked well, there was plenty of it, and the value was topnotch. Unfortunately, things have kind of gone downhill the past year or so.Last night, one of my sons and I decided to go and eat at Lantern House. Walking in, you are greeted with red every where! It isn't obnoxious but fits the theme. There are also paper lanterns hangin from the ceiling and Asian art on the walls. The restaurant wasn't full when we arrived but that soon changed! We placed our order and waited. I ordered the spicy chicken with rice, and my son ordered the kung pao chicken with fried rice. Our meals were brought out after a short wait and we dug in. My immediate reaction was "Wow... the portion size has decreased. I also noticed the spicy chicken looked different from the way it used to look. The bowl of rice served with my meal was also half the size it used to be. Grabbing my chopsticks, I took a bite and was immediately disappointed. The flavor was gone as well as the spice. It reminded me a watered down sweet and sour sauce with a few chill flakes tossed in. It's a shame because the spicy chicken at Lantern House Asian Bistro was my favorite. The rice was fine, and I suppose it was the correct amount for the size of the dish but like I said, it was a shimmer of its former self. My son's kung pao chicken looked like it was one shade of dark. He said it tasted fine but again, it wasn't what I remember it to be. His fried rice was fine. The typical 'brown' fried rice you find in most American Asian restaurants.While we were eating all the tables filled up and the number of people ordering Boba Tea increased a lot. Lantern House has a walkup Boba window but apparently the window was closed because everyone came inside and placed their order at a kiosk. This presented a problem since the only person working up front was taking seating people, taking orders, serving, cleaning the tables off, handling take out for both the restaurant and the Boba shop, he was also the sole Boba Tea maker. There were times he was in back for 10 minuets trying to keep up with the Boba orders. To his credit, he made sure to talk to everyone, letting them know the status of their orders, and apologizing for the delay. To the patrons not one person was upset or angry, and was very understanding.Lantern House Asian Bistro is still the gem and stand out for Asian cuisine in the Anderson, Indiana area. Things have gone downhill a bit but the food is still tasty, the service spot on, and the value decent. I am hopeful for their future and anxious for the quality to return to what it once was.

I use to love this restaurant! Today I placed an order through the Toast app and everything went very smoothly! Service was friendly however the food was nothing like it used to be! The fried rice had zero flavor, the egg rolls(which used to be my favorite in town) lacked flavor and were greasy and unappetizing! The portions all got smaller while the prices go up! My sesame chicken was just lacking flavor , the veggies were over done and limp! The cheesecake for the price was average! The high light was the wonton soup I enjoyed it however the fries wontons that come on the side were over done and greasy! I don't think I will be going back!

Lantern House Asian Bistro is a real gem in Anderson. Conveniently located by Walmart and the Casino on S Scatterfield. The food is always freshly prepared to order using the finest quality ingredients. Their cuisine is uniquely Asian with a variety of dishes including Sushi, Pad Thai, and many popular dishes you can only find here. I love the lunch selections offered from 11 am to 3 pm. Including a generous cup of soup, chose from classic Egg Drop, Won Ton and my favorite Hot and Sour. Also included with steamed white rice but I upgrade to fried rice or lo mein noodles. A good start is to select from one of the freshest appetizers like Spring Rolls, Egg Rolls, Crab Rangoon Won Tons or pan seared Dumplings. The dining room is simple and clean. Service is great with friendly efficient servers always offering a smile. This family owned and operated restaurant is a local business that delivers an experience you won't forget. You'll leave planning your next visit and thinking of what you'll try for your next visit. PS they haven't raised their prices for 3 years! Less expensive than fast food!

Love this place.. from the egg rolls to the sweet-and-sour chicken. The fried rice is great and the spicy chicken. One of Anderson IN best places to eat.

Very good food. (Beats the pants off of Panda Express that's closeby) fried pork dumplings and Kung Pao Chicken were delicious. Definitely going back and telling as many as I can about their quality.

Great food and awesome people. I recommend Lantern House for everyone. You'll keep coming back.

Months ago I would've given 5 stars, tonight was a tragedy. The nicest thing I can say is the food was good, but we waited over an hour. My order was partially incorrect. They are severely under staffed and leave the hostess/waitress out to dry. Service itself was poor, which I can slightly give grace for due to it being 1 person out front. They also would not allow us to redeem our rewards points. I want the new owners to do well, but this was unacceptable. We will not be back.

Our waitress was super nice, very pleasant to talk to. Didn't catch her name but she had been there about four years. Even recommended a taco spot in Chicago to us. Food was above expectations, the meat was really good. Mongolian beef was phenomenal.
