    I drove over 30 miles today ( 3/16/3022)to enjoy your lunch buffet. When I got to your restaurant, the cashier told me " No buffet today.......it's not working." She did show me a limited menu for $11.95. I declined and was on my way to another Indian Buffet, less than 10 minutes away. I did call two phone numbers that were on their website, before I drove here, and all I got was a man's voice mail.

    Nepalese owners but serve Indian food with a bit of Nepalese street food. Food was decent but I felt the service took some time. I believe they have a buffet on the weekdays. We had lunch on a Saturday and there was no buffet. We had steamed momos which were excellent and also chicken chowmien. The chicken in the noodles could have been better. They were bit old and chewy. I wish they had more Nepalese food items atleast a Nepalese veg and non veg thali. Food quality: 3.5 Location and ambience: 3 ( quite a drive from Downtown Lancaster) Individual staff customer service: 4

    Very easy online ordering process. Food was ready on time and safely handed over. The gal was wearing a mask and gloves. Food traveled better than expected. My final destination was approximately 45 minutes away and the food sat for an additional two hours before we dug in. The samosa's and vegetable pokora still had its fried crunch. I chose medium as the spice level for the masala and it was appropriately spiced and would even kick it up a level next time. This was my first time having vegetable biryani, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but I loved it! A healthy portion of veggies mixed in and the spices gave this dish a robust flavor profile. Everything we had was very satisfying. The only negative was that they forgot the garlic naan. Really disappointing because you can't have Indian without naan! But I know it was an honest mistake and it will not prevent me from returning.

    Bayyyyybeeeee , that Lamb Rogan Josh is something special! Extremely tasty , the lamb meat is soooo tender and yummy. Only thing , I just wish the garlic cheese naan was just a tad cheesier but all in all , it was a great meal. I've also had their butter chicken , and tandoori chicken as well. I will definitely come back and try that chicken tikka masala next time.

    Wow finally some authentic Indian food and dessert. Wish I would've discovered this place sooner. Indian/ Asian cuisine. We started out with the samosas they were a 7/10 but our entrees is where they went all out. I got dal tadka, roti, butter chicken, garlic naan. All very good and good portions a little bit expensive with the tip we spent around $120 but it was sooooo worth it. Food came out relatively quick too. Not a lot of people in the restaurant so it's a nice quiet setting. Very lovely waitress too. I'll definitely be back

    As a family of four, we eat here about once a month and it's our favorite resturaunt in Lancaster…read more Very kid friendly, always exceptional service, clean (my wife would know, not me), and everything on the menu is flavorful and always made with love.

    There are moments in life when you set out in search of dinner and instead discover a small,…read morebenevolent corner of the universe. My wife, acting as both navigator and oracle, found Norbu after I asked for something within walking distance of our hotel. Four Himalayan restaurants, all within a short stroll, which felt statistically suspicious in the heart of Amish country. We chose Norbu because it had the best reviews and, more importantly, because it offered Nepalese and Bhutanese dishes, which none of us had ever tried. We are a family that tries to make it a point to say yes to the unknown. Finding it is part of the adventure. Norbu is tucked along North Christian Street, though calling it a street feels optimistic at best. It is more of a very committed alley. The restaurant sits inside an office building with a few brave parking spaces placed carefully on postage stamp sized lot out front. Had we been driving, I am certain we would have missed it and continued on, poorer for the experience. Fortunately, we were on foot and arrived intact. Inside, the place was alive at 7 PM. There were low tables with stools that suggested a more traditional way of dining, and a couple of unoccupied standard tables for those of us still learning. We took one of the latter and were seated quickly. We began with momo, a dish that seems like could quietly solve many of the world's problems if placed on the right tables. Soft, hand folded dumplings, steamed and served with a savory chutney. We ordered the "Mix It All" option, which gave us vegetable, beef, and chicken. Each had its own personality, its own quiet argument for why it should be your favorite. My older son ordered the Sweet N Sticky Tofu, which was the most familiar thing we ate all night. It tasted like a thoughtful conversation between General Tso and sesame tofu. Very good, very well executed, just less novel. I had the Pak Sha Datsi, the national dish of Bhutan, which I did not know until I read it on the menu and our server filled in the missing information with patience and enthusiasm. Norbu itself, we learned, is rooted in Himalayan traditions and a desire to share the food and culture of Nepal and Bhutan with a wider audience, which feels like a noble use of time. The dish arrived as a gently spiced stew with pork and a blend of aged and smoked cheeses. It was creamy, delicate, and somehow grew more interesting with every bite. It did not resemble anything I had eaten before, which is a rare and welcome thing as I grow ever older. My wife and younger son both ordered the Nepali Thali, a kind of edible symphony made up of curry, lentils, vegetables, chutneys, pickles, and a dessert pudding. My wife chose the fish curry, which was tender and lightly flavored. My son chose the chicken curry, which quietly became the star of the table. It had a familiar warmth, something like Indian curry, but with its own distinct voice. The accompanying mustard greens, curried potatoes, and a simple mix of green beans, corn, and carrots, were so flavorful that we found ourselves marveling at them like tourists at a natural wonder. Service was excellent. Our waitress guided us through the menu, made thoughtful suggestions, and shared a bit of the restaurant's story. By the end of the meal, we felt not just fed, but informed. Our only failure was not saving room for dessert. There was a chai flavored cashew cheesecake that sounded like it might change a person's outlook on life. We will have to return to test this theory. Norbu is the kind of place you hope to find and rarely do. It is hidden, a little hard to reach, and entirely worth the effort. Five stars, because sometimes you find something amazing and new, and that reminds you that the world is still full of good surprises.

    I've been here 3 times now and most recently with my parents! This place has not disappointed me…read moreeach time I've come. It was pretty busy on Saturday when we went for dinner but we didn't have to wait too long and our food actually came out pretty fast. The service was as expected because it looked like 1 guy was serving all tables and he was literally running between table to table. I don't blame him for any waiting because he was busting his butt and we didn't really need to wait too long. We ordered a variety of dishes coming here but my favorite has to be the Homestyle Tofu or the Fish Filet. I would like to try more dishes next time. They give you quite a good amount of food for the price. Some places charge the same and give you much less. This place has authentic Chinese food with some common favorites that many of us also know (chicken with broccoli, lo mein, general tso's etc.) so there is something for everyone. There are vegetarian dishes available as well. If you're in the area and would like more savory, authentic Chinese food I recommend coming here!

    Our meal at Yi Pin was excellent. We ordered a dry pot fish, wonton soup, and lotus and mixed…read morevegetable rice dish. The dry pot fish was probably one of the best I've had in recent memory. For me it was just the right level of mala spicy, without being overpowering. This dish came with rice. The lotus and mixed vegetables (which also came with rice) were also perfectly stir-fried. It included carrots, snap peas, black fungus, and of course lotus. Even my vegetable-skeptic kids liked this dish, especially the lotus root and snap peas. The wonton soup was more run-of-the-mill, but decent. We dined at Yi Pin on Easter Sunday, and the restaurant was very busy. We were able to get seated immediately at a booth, but it took a while for their lean-staffed waiters to bring a menu, water, and take our order. That said, the food did arrive quickly, steaming hot from the kitchen. This was definitely one of the highlights of our trip in Lancaster.
