This was a first experience for us and we really enjoyed it. It is located in a one plaza strip. We went on a Monday before we left to the airport and it was really fulfilling. Their options there are really small compared to the other location. (What I've been told) This location is really close to the strip, while the other location is going towards Henderson. Food was prepared really well as well as the presentation. Of course it is buffet style, but everything is clean around the food and they look out all the time on who needs their areas cleared up for the next round. They also have their own Melon fresca there with the buffet and fountain drinks are an extra charge. Everything I ate was a hit to me and was not disappointed at all. Their Bistek is honestly my favorite, while my husbands favorite was their Tocino. He says, not everyone can make it tender. We also ordered lumpia on the side because it is also an extra charge from the buffet. I will say this! I will rather spend my money here eating authentic Filipino food, than go to Jollibee. Different concepts, but authentication is here for sure.

We were craving for Filipino food and found this AYCE one. Food was pretty good. Except for the nilaga. It lacked taste. But the rest were pretty tasty. Drinks were not included in teh price.

Ok, if you like Filipino food, this is your place! There is a really good selection and there are drinks to purchase separately. My wife usually doesn't eat a lot... big eyes, little stomach kind of thing! She ate so much she was in pain and was sad because she wanted more! The people there were friendly but it is a buffet! They clear the plates and greet you. No complaints there. This is an old place, don't expect fine dining and you will be okay. The food in the star of the show! We will be back when we are in Vegas!

First time here! First thought was "would this food be better than my mom's cooking?" And to be honest, this was the closest food from home (at least from my mom's cooking) compared to any Jollibee I've ever been to. You walk in and if you know you know that there's be NikNaks, and mango. A little rusty interior design, everything written on a cardboard using a sharpie, and long tables for big families. I had Chicken Adobo, Garlic Rice, Pancit, Tocino, Sago, Squash, Pinakbet . Make that 2 servings of each. The price was very reasonable at $17.99 AYCE, making it affordable for big families. I'd love to come back again and I hope they'll have turon next time!

Just had the lunch buffet at Kusina Ni Lorraine. This will be a short and sweet review. If you want to try Filipino food this is a great place to start. There are plenty of options so It gives you the opportunity to taste a little bit of everything. Most of the food on the line were stew based. It's a very "homey" feel. We had very minimal interaction for service, but the man who guided and checked us out was really nice. The only thing I would recommend is putting signs for the different dishes, so people like me (who aren't Filipino) know what they're getting lol. Thanks to my husband, I was fine but I think this would open up the customer market and be more inviting to people who want to try Filipino food. The cantaloupe drink was so refreshing and delicious!!

You'd be sure to pass by Kusina ni Lorraine if you don't either 1) Yelp for restaurants nearby or 2) notice the hordes of Filipinos walking into this place. It's sandwiched between several mom & pop stores in a little strip mall off South Maryland Parkway. It's divey, warm, but homey and filling. The buffet is packed with staples like tuyo, pork and squash, fried rice, pansit bihon, longanisa, tocino, kare kare, squid guisado, and a plethora of other dishes that I don't eat because of organs. Soda, turon (banana lumpia) and other desserts like melon juice cost a little extra. The family that owns and runs the place are super respectful and laid-back and know everything going on amidst the chaos.
