Reviews
For $19.99 per person, you get at least 20 freshly made dishes daily, refilled throughout the day, plus fried rice and steamed rice (soda is extra). I came for a late lunch around 2 pm, and the spread was still fresh, full, and delicious, everything from appetizers to mains, soups, and desserts.
What makes it extra fun is the buffet-tapas hybrid: you fill small bowls, arrange them on your tray, and enjoy the meal bite by bite. The fried salted fish/smelt was the highlight for me, crispy and addictive with steamed rice. Another stand-out was the crossover dishes similar to Vietnamese cuisine (at least five mains and two desserts). I especially enjoyed the pickled cabbage soup and the desserts like taro banana and coconut tapioca, which were perfectly cooked and not overly sweet.
*****Whip X Bánh Mì*****
Sharing the space right next door is Whip X Bánh Mì, a separate café in its soft-opening phase. They offer fresh made modern Vietnamese coffee, sugarcane juice, coconut water, and Bánh Mì. I ordered the Matcha Sugarcane ($6.49), which was refreshingly delicious, lightly sweet, and balanced, even though I’m not usually a matcha fan, this was a pleasant surprise.
Service was sufficient and friendly for this kind of market-buffet setup. Don’t let the strip mall exterior fool you, this place delivers!
Location perks: about a 15-minute drive from both The Strip and Chinatown, and close to UNLV. I also learned there are a few other locations around Vegas, so if you’re local, I’d love to hear how they compare.
Restrooms: women’s was out of toilet seat covers, men’s was fully stocked.
Parking: free in the strip mall lot.
Hours: open 7 days a week, making it convenient whenever cravings hit.
The $19.99 price is for the Filipino buffet only. All items from Whip X Bánh Mì, like their Vietnamese coffee, sugarcane, coconut water, and drinks such as the Matcha Sugarcane, are separate purchases, since Whip X is its own stand-alone café that simply shares the space with Kusina Ni Lorraine and the market.
The ube coffee is my absolute favorite! super creamy with that perfect strong coffee kick
I also tried the ube cloud (made with coconut water) and it was so refreshing!
Everything here is amazing, from the drinks to the food to the sweetest team.
Definitely check this spot out, you’ll be hooked!
Limited parking at the front.
The staff is nice.
The food is delicious!!
$18/person.. well worth it!
The Pinoy drinks are separate.
The women’s restroom has 1 stall and cleanliness can be improved.
There’s a small grocery inside.
Bon Appétit!!
What worried me the most was how unsanitary everything appeared. The food temperature, texture, and presentation made me seriously question whether this restaurant is complying with health and food safety regulations. Unfortunately, after eating there, I ended up with diarrhea, which makes me believe that something was definitely not handled properly in the kitchen.
To add to the frustration, they didn’t even offer any dessert — which is disappointing for a buffet charging nearly $20 per person. I strongly warn other consumers not to waste their hard-earned money here. The food is not worth the price, and it could put your health at risk.
This place needs to be inspected by the health department and should take immediate action to improve food safety and cleanliness before continuing to serve customers. I will never return to this restaurant and highly recommend others to stay away for their own safety.
Foods tastes good and there is a variety to choose from (see photos and video attached in this review). Try their Drinks-melon or sago drink is 3.99 and can takeout. A++
Please don’t be offended if the interior isn’t up to date or “clean” to the standard of a hotel on the Strip. This is a no frills place that offers cooked Pinoy food with love in a strip mall.
