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.

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.

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.

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?

We went to Full House for two different occasions. I've been wanting to try this place because they…read moreadvertise their flaming halo halo on instagram and it caught my attention. I also chose this location because they have bangus, which my mom prefers to eat. The first visit there, I came with my parents as they were visiting. My parents and I really didn't know what to order because every item looked so good to eat. We ended up choosing the bitter melon with beef, the grilled bangus, and crispy pork kare kare. Portions were big enough for us 3 to all share. Luckily we had enough room to eat the halo halo. Presentation was amazing. My parents and I like that the halo halo ingredients were spread apart that way we can assemble our own. It was definitely a plus. The second time was during lunch and my mom wanted my hubby to try this place because she loved the food. We ordered the roast duck with bihon noodles, lechon pinakbet, lemon grass beef (not pictured), tempura garlic shrimp, lumpia Shanghai, pancit bihon with pork, a cantaloupe drink and 3 buko pandan drinks. Food made us so full. It was a lot. We didn't make room for the halo halo. But we did bring home a lot of it. Definitely will come back to try more of the menu.

Wow, I finally got to try Full House BBQ with my friends! My mom learned about this restaurant and…read moretheir famous flaming halo halo a few years ago, but I haven't had a chance until now to experience this restaurant! Upon entering, I my heart was so happy seeing the Filipino themed decor. We ordered bangus(milk fish), tocino, and longanisa double protein breakfast silogs. We wanted to order more items from the mouthwatering pictures on their menu, but we made sure to leave room in our bellies for the flaming halo halo. Their savory garlic Java rice is a perfect pairing with our silog plates! Service was excellent from the moment we entered. They checked on us and asked us when we were ready for the flaming halo halo. When the flaming halo halo arrived, we were mesmerized by the flame and layers of colors! Their halo halo and how richly flavored our silog dishes were made all of the wait worth it!! If you are from out of town and in Vegas and can get off the strip, this is a must go-to Filipino restaurant!

Unfortunately, the acoustics aren't great. Voices echo throughout the dining room, and during one visit, a large party seated on the other side of our booth was so loud we could barely hear each other. Between our visits, we tried several dishes: Beef Pares Mami: Delicious! Easily one of the highlights. Crispy Pork Bagoong Fried Rice: Our order was mistakenly prepared as longanisa fried rice, then reworked with sweet bagoong and crispy pork added. Unfortunately, the result just didn't work. Kare-Kare: Disappointing. There were visible lumps of unmelted peanut butter in the very thick sauce, and it was served with a sweet version of bagoong that wasn't to our liking. Thankfully the beef chunks were tender. Crispy Pata: Generous portion with wonderfully crispy skin, but the meat needed more seasoning. It was served with a sweetened soy sauce which we did not like. Pancit Bami: The portion was surprisingly small and noodles were quite wet. Served with shrimp cut in half lengthwise like in spring rolls. Flavor was good. Halo-Halo: A giant serving and we loved that they don't add beans! Service was friendly but not particularly attentive. We had to wave down staff several times to get their attention. After two visits, I'd have to agree with other reviewers that both the food and service can be hit or miss. There were some enjoyable dishes, but the inconsistencies in preparation, seasoning, and service left us hoping for a more consistent experience.

So we were looking for a Filipino buffet and we happened to find this on a quick google map check…read more The parking is a little weird and there are limited spots but on a Monday morning, we were gold. Drove up and parked right away. Yup we actually went by for breakfast. Good thing too because wow, this spot is so good! There were plenty of tables and they also have other items for sale.

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.
