First time, food selections are good. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Ambiance very welcoming and clean well organize.

Went here early in the morning to beat the crowd. Took my family here while they were visiting Vegas. They absolutely loved it! I obviously wasn't able to try out all of the food on their menu but everything I had tasted pretty good to me. I find that a lot of Filipino restaurants lack that home-made taste and comfort feeling but this place came close to fulfilling that. It's nice to be able to pick and choose what you want to eat and have as much as you want without worrying the bill piling up especially when you have your family with you. The place is very clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

My boyfriend and I had a long week of travel and flew back into Vegas around midnight. The next morning we woke up starvingggg. We knew we wanted something savory and filling - nothing sweet, no easy drive thru breakfasts. When I suggested a good old Filipino breakfast, he knew exactly where to go. Pinoy1968 is a lil mom and pop shop that focuses on their offerings rather than aesthetic. We came here for breakfast, but ended up staying just a little longer for lunch as well. This is buffet style meal that essentially puts out breakfast, lunch, and dinner all at once. We had so many dishes to choose from. Not only that, they just kept bringing out fresh new dishes. When someone whips out the garlic rice and sisig after you've already had 3 plates, you better unbutton your pants and make some room. They even brought out the gulaman and cantaloupe drinks that you spoon into specialty blue cups - $2 extra for unlimited gulaman goodness. YUM. While it's not my dad's or other family members' recipes, eating at Pinoy1968 was like a warm hug in the form of a home cooked meal. Can't beat that.

Went here for my birthday lunch & it was delicious! The place is very clean & so was the buffet area. There is a lady who is constantly wiping the area around the buffet to keep it clean. This is my first time eating some of the Filipino food & discovered that it's a great to try new food items! Yum!

Better food, but unethical pricing We visited this restaurant looking for a new "go-to" Filipino buffet after 'Kusina ni Lorraine' has become garbage over the years. While the food was an improvement over our previous spot--despite being very pork-heavy--the business practices ensure we will not return. The checkout process is intentionally misleading: 1) Mandatory Gratuity: A 20% tip was forced without the option to adjust. 2) Double-Dipping: The tip was calculated on the total after sales tax. 3) Hidden Fees: An undisclosed 3% credit card surcharge was added to the bill. (see photo) The cashier's hesitation to hand over the receipt suggested she was well aware of how these "junk fees" look to a customer. We intended to be regulars here, BUT sadly, this experiece is more than enough reason for us not to return. EVER.

Pinoy 1968 the place must visit and try. Buffet for $17.99 worth it Our first time to try this buffet joint- a hidden gem in its class, quite neighborly and far from the main hub of the strip and busy areas. We travelled a bit of a distance but worth it. Filipino Foods are tasty and hot. Love the Lechon kawali, sisig, pancit, lumpia ( fried spring rolls), sinigang, fried fish, tocino,longganisa, Tuyo, etc. They rotate the spread and you'll have your fill unlimited. Place is clean from the buffet line, kitchen and dining areas and well maintained. Staff are friendly and helpful. Worth a visit or treat for out of town guests. Recommendable and a must try when you're in the area.

Maybe I need a film crew and call in advance to let them know I was coming!? The amount of hype this place got on social media hahaha brah. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone that's not in the area. It's not worth the journey. But if you live near by sure go ahead there aren't much buffets in the area let alone any Filipino buffet. Brought the family to celebrate a birthday. Came here some time between lunch and 5 pm which they closed. Plenty of time to experience Pinoy 1968. There was maybe 2 other groups there eating which also included maybe the owners and staff. It was very hot and very uncomfortable inside. I could handle the heat but it felt not normal. AC was probably broken. They never say anything about the heat and was not offered any discount or anything for it being so hot inside. At least tell diners oh hey sorry ac is broke before start eating and offer a free cold drink. It's not a huge buffet with about 16 items served a decent size. From what I heard they have different items each day. The food was not fresh and felt like its been sitting. Old crusty items were mixed in to seem like item were fresh. The noddles. About half the items were basically scaping the bottom of the pan and empty or near empty. Not filled the whole time we were there. It's like they stopped cooking or something. They had plenty of time to make something. We stayed over an hour trying to make the most of it. They have lechon kawali on the buffet which normally most Filipino buffets don't offer or do with extra charge. That's a plus but it was not crispy and was sitting. Dinuguan and mungo beans was good enough. Can sit all day long and be good. There was 2 pans of longanisa sausages. They had Lumpia Shanghai, prefer regular lumpia but ate a bunch. It was sitting and nothing new came out. Could've ate the whole pan to see if they'd refill it. The halo halo was nice and refreshing at the moment cause it was hot inside but it was your basic halo halo nothing stood out. Paid extra for it. There was no warm welcome feeling except for being hot. No customer service. You served yourself it was a buffet. No one took dirty plate or refilled waters. Basically only took our money at the end. And to bring the halo halo out. Bad day!? Won't be back. There's other Filipino food options in the valley. Gave em a 2 star at first cause it's Filipino but gotta be fair.

Been seeing this place featured in IG and YouTube, $17.99 per person. I'd rather have this than any fast food joint! Cashier was nice enough to take the time to explain the buffet. I stuck with the sisig, pork belly and the fried crispy fish chips! I couldn't stop eating those! Ohhhh... and the garlic rice!! The vinegar on each table, Mmmmm, Mmmm good! I was on rapid fire. My friend was in awe of me eating 3 plates before he finished even one!

Nice little Filipino buffet spot. And the staff are very hospitable. Betty helped us and was really nice and took the time to answer all the questions we had. A quaint place with seating inside as well as outdoor seating. We went for lunch and there was plenty of available tables to choose from. Also plenty of parking outside. The food is really good. They have a pretty good variety and they maintain and update the food thoroughly. Just a note that the restroom is outside so you need to ask for the key. AYCE drinks available for an extra charge but its really worth it. I went for the sago and gulaman. We were also treated to leche flan. Delicious! Well worth it!

Jordan F.

So the hours have been very inconsistent in the past, but I have learned to just call ahead and see if they're open or not... We went to the buffet, and wow if you want great options for Filipino food, this is where you should go!! The buffet price was reasonable, but they also offer take out as an option as well, and some desserts and baked goods a la carte as well (dessert was not included in buffet, had to purchase goods separately if you wanted any). There is a fantastic variety of soups, meats, seafoods, fried rice, etc. the menu does change, so if you want something specifically, it would be best to call ahead or just go there and see what is on the menu. There's plenty of parking, and the seating area in the restaurant is small, but we enjoyed the food very much, and will be back!

It's our first time at Pinoy 1968 Buffet & Restaurant. My dad saw it on Yelp and YouTube. He wanted to try it out when we visit Las Vegas. We are so glad we had buffet lunch here at Pinoy 1968. The food here is delicious and made fresh. If you're looking for Filipino soul food, this is the place. My dad called first to check if we need reservations. He also asked if we can bring a certain food for our child who has food allergies. No reservations needed and it was definitely ok for us to bring a sandwich for our child with food allergies. The ladies at Pinoy 1968 are all very sweet, friendly, accommodating and truthful. They exceeded excellent customer service standards. Betty was awesome and very kind. Thank you Betty. They even gave us leche flan for free as our to go. We can't wait to tell all our family, friends and social circles about Pinoy 1968 Buffet & Restaurant. The restaurant is very easy to find. You can see the huge sign from miles away. It's nice because it's private and has its own parking lot. Plenty of parking spots to choose from. Once you come inside there are many booth like seating it's also very clean and welcoming. To your right is the buffet area with a variety of traditional Filipino food like sinigang, sisig, longanisa, garlic fried rice, lechon kawali and many more. To your left they have a good selection of drinks which includes the Filipino drink gulaman at sago. The drinks are also unlimited. They offer pineapple juice and four seasons juice as well. Their sinigang is perfect with just the right amount of sour. Lechon kawali is crisp to perfection. The lechon sisig, very flavorful and plenty of meat not just fat. These are only a few of the delicious food items they serve as they have others. Not to mention the longanisa and tocino, it's so good. The gulaman at sago is mixed to perfection. It's not too sweet and has plenty of gulaman and sago. Definitely not overpowering the other. We definitely enjoyed Pinoy 1968 and prefer this buffet restaurant over Nanay Gloria's. Will be back to Pinoy 1968 in early August with some family. We can't wait.

Between the AYCE Filipino buffets I've had in Las…read moreVegas, and quite frankly, in other cities, this one is pretty solid, at $19.99 (at the time of this review). Didn't try a dish I didn't like, the food wasn't salty (which can easily be the case), the options were great (and they had the staples), and they were all presented cleanly. Service: No complaints. A woman, who I believe is the owner, was kind enough to make sure our water pitcher was full. Ambiance: Casual. Plenty of seating. Parking: Ample parking. Located in a plaza.

We initially…read moreconsidered Nanay's (which had a lower rating), but decided to try this place instead because of the higher reviews. Unfortunately, it did not live up to expectations. Here's why this ended up being a one-star experience for us: They call themselves "Manila BBQ," but there was no barbecue available. They also advertise as a seafood grill, yet there were no seafood options during our visit. There's a $4 upcharge for lechon belly, but no other pork dishes were offered--no pork adobo, no lechon kawali. If you're charging extra for a premium item, there should at least be other standard pork options included. So instead of 20 dollars it was was $24 per person.  Drinks are not included in the $24 price. Overall, the food quality was mediocre and didn't justify the cost. There's an automatic service charge of 18% for a party of plus an additional 3% credit card fee. We don't mind paying more for good food and a satisfying experience, but this just didn't deliver. Sadly, we won't be coming back.

Sorry, Matt Brady... there may be a cocktail of the day named Duckin' Delicious, but there's no…read moreduck on the menu. At least that name is apropos. Pink Duck Kitchen is a local Filipino-American fusion brunch restaurant that has maintained solid Yelp ratings and recently garnered a spot on the Las Vegas Review-Journal's Top 100 restaurants of 2025. Seeing as how it's the last Henderson spot which I hadn't tried, I decided to rectify that oversight today. I was thinking breakfast at first, but the Lamb Sandwich ($17.99) caught my eye. After clarifying the form of protein with the server, I said yes to this offering. I'm glad I did because it's a stunner. To start with, the bun is nice and soft. The pulled lamb is so tender and surprisingly free from gamy flavor, and whatever it's braised in does so much work making it irresistibly tasty. Then the tzatziki creaminess, tomato umaminess, and even the banana pepper tanginess really round out the flavors. Even the cucumber slices are perfectly portioned to add some crispiness and flavor. Fries come with the sandwich. I was hesitant since they were thick and also very brown. Fortunately, they were soft and fluffy inside, and there was enough crisp from the potato skins. They were actually a little undersalted too, but when I finally flagged down the server for some ketchup, I unlocked the code. The fries are just about perfect with a healthy amount of that Heinz goodness. I did get a bite of breakfast though. My friend's Ube Pancakes ($14.99) were cited as a dish to try on that top 100 list, and I can see why. There's plenty of ube flavor, and a good balance of a lightly crispy exterior and soft interior. The fresh mango and berries were a great touch, as was the whipped cream on the side. I'll have to have a full dish for myself one day. It wasn't as packed when we arrived as I was anticipating; I guess Sunday brunch invites a late-morning crowd though, since it started filling up. Music was top 40 stuff and not too loud. Really my only issue was the water not being ice cold. I've gotta come back to Pink Duck Kitchen since they have such a fun variety on their menu and they're one of the closest interesting restaurants to my side of town. If you live across town, it's actually drive-worthy for that lambwich alone.

Visited on a Saturday at brunch time, party of 4, eager to try out this Filipino-American fusion…read morespot. We arrived at 11am, and while the vibe inside was lively and the decor was really cool (modern with Pink Duck vibes), we hit a bit of a snag right away. Despite seeing several empty tables, we were told there'd be about a 15-minute wait. Honestly, that was a little frustrating, especially when you're hungry and can clearly see open spots. We almost considered trying somewhere else, but decided to stick it out. And I'm so glad we did, because from the moment we were seated, the service was absolutely stellar! Our server, gave us great recommendations and made sure our drinks were always full. The rest of the staff we interacted with were equally friendly and efficient, they really turned the initial annoyance around. The fusion dishes here aren't just creative for creativity's sake; they're genuinely well-executed and thoughtfully balanced. $15.99 Fried Chicken & Ube Waffle - This was my dish, loved it. $16.99 Banana Nut Bread French Toast with Carmelized "Banana Cue" We went family style on this and I would order again. $16.99 Pork Belly Burger $15.99 Breakfast Burrito Everything felt fresh, vibrant, and celebrated both Filipino and American culinary traditions without either overpowering the other. The creativity in combining these flavors was executed well. I'd definitely visit Pink Duck again to sample more interesting dishes I saw on the menu. Mabuhay!

I ordered the garlic chicken, which had a nice crispy, crunchy coating, but that was honestly the best thing I could say about it. The flavor was incredibly mild and lacked the bold garlic taste I was expecting. It was surprisingly bland and didn't leave much of an impression. The rice that came with it was also disappointing because it was mushy instead of light and fluffy. The macaroni salad was another letdown. It had a strange flavor that I couldn't quite figure out. I'm not sure if that's how it's traditionally supposed to taste or if something was off that day, but I didn't enjoy it and ended up leaving most of it behind. The highlight of my meal was definitely the chicken teriyaki. It was flavorful, well-seasoned, and had just the right amount of char from the grill. If I were to order anything again, it would probably be that. The location also didn't do the restaurant any favors. The surrounding area and parking lot felt a bit sketchy and weren't especially welcoming, which made the overall experience less enjoyable before I even walked through the door. As for the service, it was fine. The man working at the front was cordial and polite, and I didn't have any complaints about the customer service. Overall, I'd give this place three stars. While the chicken teriyaki was enjoyable, the rest of the meal fell short of expectations. Between the bland garlic chicken, mushy rice, unusual macaroni salad, and less-than-inviting location, I wasn't impressed enough to make a return visit.
