Adobo, Kare-kare, rice
Cates D.

Someone recommended this Filipino buffet spot, and I really liked the concept -- small bowls so you can sample as many dishes as you want, plus unlimited rice. It's a great idea in theory. I tried a handful of dishes and the salmon sinigang was the only one I truly enjoyed -- flavorful and well done. Unfortunately, most of the other entrees fell flat. Some dishes were bland, others were soggy, and overall the flavors just didn't come through the way Filipino food usually does. They also didn't offer much in terms of desserts, which was a bit disappointing for a buffet. One positive note: the lady assisting us was very kind and welcoming. But based on the food alone, I don't think I'd come back.

I was clearly impressed with Nanay Gloria's, shown by how empty my plate was! Nanay Gloria's is a casual, small buffet offering classic Filipino dishes. One of my favorite Filipino dishes is kare kare and I was pleased by how tender the meat was. Pictured is also palabok, calabasa, sinangag (garlic fried rice), a fried egg, and a bowl of sinigang. There aren't any buffet style Filipino restaurants in NYC (to my knowledge), so this was definitely an experience. Don't expect anything fancy, as this is a small mom and pop type restaurant!

Craving Filipino food in Vegas? This local spot offers AYCE and takeout of Filipino comfort food. It's located in a small strip mall so it might be hard to miss. The price is decent for an AYCE. They have little bowls so you can try all the Filipino food goodness without it blending on your plate. The ladies there are helpful to tell you what food is which. The food isn't the best I had but it does the trick in filling you up. I'd still come to support this business everyone I'm in Vegas. My recommendation: Fried chicken skin Kare Kare Pinakbet

My friend really wanted to try this place out, seeing posts on social media, so we went for lunch. It was highly disappointing. It's a buffet so as you go through the line, there's no signage for what the dishes are. Fine if they don't have signage but be friendly when asked what something is! I know Filipino food well but can't always distinguish what the meat in a dish is. When asking any one of the 3 women working behind the line, they are snarky and if they do answer your question, it's quick and they walk away so if you had another question you will have to get their attention agin. And mind you, it wasn't busy when we went. Also, at least two of the women would take food from the trays, and we're eating right behind the line. In my video you can even see it. Food is mediocre at best. Too many of similar type items (Kaldereta) with difference being one is beef, the other is beef and liver. I can't even confirm if it was "Kaldereta"because again, the woman mumbled her answer between bites of food and walking away. The food that was ok to me was the Pancit and Tocino. The "Kaldereta" had good flavor but had way too many fatty pieces of meat. My friend liked the fish and the Adobo Chicken. The Lumpia is a separate charge as well as several other items they have a list of. On social media they showed desserts but we saw zero and when we asked we never even got an answer! The employees are rude in my opinion, more interested in eating themselves. There was a guy bussing tables who was the only friendly person. The place is very simple and clean enough. I did like how they have little bowls you can use for the food, so sauces don't all run together. They also sell Filipino/Asian grocery type items as well as packaged desserts. I would have given them 1 star for the service but the food was (just) ok so gave them a 2. The restaurant has potential but their employees lack of basic customer service is embarrassing- do better.

So I think I have been to every Filipino buffet so far as of this writing. Which is 3. Lol. Inside is just a very simple and basic seats. Nothing to spectacular. It does show wear and tear but then again this place has been around for a while. What's nice there is always someone next to the buffet table to either assist you or help you out if your disabled. Pay first. Then grab as much food as you want. Plain and simple. If you like super soft chairs (which I am not) then sit in the booths which also sits a little low so good for tall people. If you like more firm chairs. Sit in the middle selection of chairs. Off to the side they have a mini very mini store that has snacks from the Philippines and if you know you know. When it comes to taste this is my favorite as also it has more selections. And at $17.99 their is another place that is cheaper but it's near Henderson. Overall I'm not expecting high class Filipino food at $17. But temper your expectations and come hungry and you will be happy.

Back in Vegas again, and my wife and I wanted to show her mom this good AYCE Filipino buffet. We came on a Tuesday, and even though the sign on the door said 'OPEN', the door was locked with no visible way to look inside. After a bit of confusion, a worker same to the door (must have heard the door rattle) to let us in. We later realized that the reason for the locked door was the homeless woman outside who greeted us while we were heading inside. Regulars just must know what to do, since it was quite busy once we got inside. You pay first, with the lunch buffet being $17.99 per person, and a can of soda being $2. There was quite a selection of dishes. Because it was so busy, the food was turning over fast: good to keep the dishes fresher, but bad since once a particular dish ran out, the replacement was usually a different dish. So if you want something, you need to grab as much as you want, since by the time you come back, it might be gone and not be replaced. This happened with the fried bangus and the deep fried bagbagis, both of which I wish I had gotten when originally available. The food seemed to taste better than the last time I came.

I'm torn on this place. We were looking for crispy lechon and again woman watched some videos and here we are. I can always appreciate seeing people of that culture enjoying the food, as they seem to cater to people who know what everything is. Nothing was labeled. There was usually someone behind the counter, but who wants to ask what everything is! Some things I recognized and gravitated to, but there's a possibility that I might've tried more/different things had i know what was what. Maybe it wasn't for us, and that's ok too. It's super cafeteria style and though I saw the guy come out once to bus plates, they're not on it like a more traditional buffet. There was dirty plates across from us for some time. I asked about the crispy lechon but it was extra. For $18 there was enough out there to keep me occupied. It had a steady stream of customers, both eating and getting food to go. One of the customers I guess misunderstood and was telling us we could only get one plate so get everything lol. They also had signs about being charged for waste, and with the ladies behind the counter we did kinda feel like we were being watched and would've been somehow charged had we not eaten everything. I can't tell you what I got besides chicken skin, lumpia, some rice and meats. I got what I thought was like lumpia (they weren't out at the time) but it had a banana it plantain in it. I wasn't a big fan as I expected savory. The food was pretty good initially, woman basically liked it too, but after I didn't feel well. My tummy was upset until the next day! I would go to another Filipino buffet, but I wouldn't come back to this one.

Good place to get your Filipino food craving, they have good meal choices and also a decent price for it, service was ok, you pay first then you get your plate, it wasnt too busy when we visit there, just calm vibe. Overall, a good place to get that filipino food that youre craving for a while.

Water, plates and the vinegar area

The reason why I'm giving a 4 star and not a 5 is just because some days it takes a little longer to get your table cleared of the plates and bowls after you finished and go for your next plate. The vibe of the place could also use updating to make it feel less grungy. So many people complaining that the food has no taste, I don't know if their taste buds are not working properly or it actually had no taste over a year ago, but I can say for the 4 times we came here over the past 4 months the food was always good. Yah some dishes have a little extra oil but if you're using a fattier pork or beef then you will get that in the food so it's no big deal for me, I just don't drink that oil lol.

Good food quality meat and clean place to eat. Coming from the Bay Area this actually better tasting Filipino food.

Help! What days and times are the buffet? Is it 7am-9pm everyday?

They have their buffet open every day from open to close. Theyll have more breakfast filipino silog selections in the morning, and gradually add other dishes as lunch time approaches.

Is the buffet served at all times and what are the prices?

I saw a fly on the buffet line, and I also observed a woman in the kitchen handling and preparing food without wearing gloves. Seeing that immediately killed my appetite. Food safety and sanitation are non-negotiable for me. The buffet selection also felt disappointing. There weren't any new dishes compared to my first visit, and several items seemed to be made with lower-quality ingredients than I remembered. The service was just as disappointing. I came during lunch, and several employees were sitting together at a table eating with their hands while customers were walking around needing assistance. No one seemed interested in checking on guests or providing service. It gave the impression that staff meals were a higher priority than the paying customers. I really wanted to like this place because my first experience was positive, but this visit changed my opinion completely. Between the sanitation concerns, lackluster food, and poor customer service, I won't be returning and unfortunately can't recommend it.

Upon entering we noticed it wasn't particularly busy, maybe around 3 or 4 other tables taken during lunch. It was also a bit hot in the restaurant I'm guessing because the AC was set high or wasn't working properly? Not sure. Looking at the menu by the register, we opted for the Cebuchon buffet because it was Friday! $24.99 per person! You need to pay first before partaking in the eating! After paying we took a look at the offerings on the buffet line - with just under a dozen choices offered (counting the white rice & pancit), it was a bit underwhelming especially for the price! No lumpia? No BBQ sticks? Was really hoping for some BBQ! It was a little misleading with the restaurant saying BBQ in it's name but not having any of it available for the buffet - it looks like it's just ala carte with a separate charge over the buffet price. Me sad! We ended up sampling the entrees that looked the freshest from the buffet: -Cebuchon! -Pinakbet -Bistek Rice was a smidge on the dry side, and the pancit lacked some flavor. Nothing a little Filipino soy sauce & vinegar couldn't liven up! We waited for a fresh pan of cebuchon to hit the line. Super tasty! Fatty, moist, lots of flavor, great bits of crispy skin! Delicious with some all-purpose sauce and a palmful of rice! Masarap! Went for thirds on the cebuchon, oh my cholesterol LOL! The bistek was very tender with lots of onions just like I like it. The pinakbet was excellent too - lots of fresh veggies, jumbo shrimp, not too salty! I like it when the bagoong is on the side instead of directly in the dish so I can adjust the flavor accordingly. Overall the buffet at Manila BBQ & Seafood Grill is OK. Wish there were a few more options on the buffet line for the price per person, or at least some lumpia included! We were craving them while we were eating the cebuchon with rice! Would have enhanced the experience for sure! Perhaps if we get here again for a meal, we'll sample some BBQ too!
