Kusina Ni Lorraine

Who doesn’t love Filipino food?
Kusina Ni Lorraine is a cute little restaurant/​shop that sells all kinds of Filipino goodies.
I frequently come here to grab some Filipino food to go when I’m too lazy to make my own or just need that comfort of a «home cooked meal».
Food is always great, I like this fast food style Filipino restaurant a lot more than others around town. The food is pre-​made and on a warmer so you basically just point at what you want.
Prices are fair for the portion size and the taste reminds me almost of my mother’s cooking.

Not bad for a little joint off the strip. Go there around 1 – 3 and food will be as fresh as you can get. The BBQ is the bomb and staff is friendly.
You come late, your too late.

Dishes are pretty good, although, they tend to have more fat on their meat dishes, but still decent. My main complaint is most of servers have big time ATTITUDE, especially the son of the owner (young guy), there is absolutely ZERO CUSTOMER SERVICE in this restaurant, being nice and friendly, are something that they can NOT provide to all their customers, they are probably not being treated well, or maybe, they are arrogant about the fact, that they are the only decent Filipino restaurant, in the NW part of the Valley.

I’m only giving this place one star because I can buy papaya for chicken soup without having to go into town.
Restaurant wise… I didn’t like the experience at all. The first time my husband went into order, forgot the name, but the lady said to not get it because it’s old. Uh, then why not take it out of the food line? Their turon has been good ONCE! All the other times I went to go buy, all in hopes of it being mushy the way I like it. it wasnt. In fact, the banana was sooooo dry in there. Almost as if they used frozen banana or.something. I have no idea. Then the final straw as to why we will never eat here again, we ordered a medium bistek ala carte… I swear on a bible it looked like a small, there were like 4 pcs of meat, and the container was frickin drowning in oil!!! How the hell does a medium container only offer 4 pcs of meat, 4 chewy pcs of meat, 4 chewy pcs of meat soaking in oil, 4 chewy pcs of meat soaking in oil with alot of fat so really you weren’t getting much mear. Aweful. I don’t care if it’s filipino food nearby, I’d make the drive rather than come here. More so, customer service can be iffy sometimes.
Oh, and their halo halo… don’t even. It’s an embarrassing item to eat from a filipino establishment. Even my 8 year old was the first to say, mom… this halohalo isn’t good at all. It wasnt. Waste of money.
If you haven’t tried halohalo at all… please don’t make this place your first time.
Definitely not stroller friendly.

I ordered party size food for Thanksgiving and they don’t get it right (this is not the first time it happened). First I ordered Sisig and they didn’t even include it on my order. Then, the puto I ordered arrived 30 mins late! Lastly, I didn’t get the puto I ordered because they gave it to another customer who also ordered the same thing. I was waiting for my puto first and the other customer was waiting 2^nd. I don’t know why the cook gave the puto to the other customer. Smh! They are not organized. I saw the puto and it doesn’t even have the name of the customer.
Another thing too, we ordered Kare Kare and the meat wasn’t even soft and it was cold when we picked it up.

I really like the selection they have here – Mangoes with bagoong, pan de sal, polverone, etc etc. However, the cooked food leaves something to be desired. I ordered Diniguan and Kare Kare. The Kare Kare was not very flavorful. The Diniguan has a good taste but it was so fatty! I think 95% of the meat in it was fat. Yikes. That being said I do like this place, I just hope they improve on quality of the cooked food a little more. Where else in N Las Vegas can I get my Diniguan fix?

The food is always good. I love their pancit and menudo with extra potatoes and carrots. Prices are decent. The only negative thing is that the seating area is very cramped.

Ordered sinigang for lunch today and the sinigang has bug. Ewww!!! I will never order here. I will post the picture of my order.

My sister and I ate here for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. The place wasn’t busy. The employees weren’t friendly. The tables were FILTHY! I had to wash them off with my hand sanitizer and a napkin! It wasn’t because they were short staffed. Nothing posted as far as menu or prices, just a hot table with different entrees. Had to ask for drinks. They were in a cooler that was behind us and off to the side. I guess that was our fault because we were so confused as to how things worked we hadn’t seen them. They had containers for small, medium, and large taped or nailed to the wall but when we ordered a large they gave it to us in a large square to go container and not the large container on the wall. They place was dirty! No way to sugar coat it. But they did have some delicious pancit! That is only reason why I’m giving them 2 stars. I probably will never go there again though.

Great food, good portions! They even opened up a full grocery store in there.
I have two complaints. First is it’s always hot in there. Second is it’s too small and crowded when you’re trying to eat in.

The food is okey. The portions are very small, esp, with mostly bony meat. All you get are bones and vegetables in a small or medium to go cups.

I really like this place for two main reasons:
1) It is VERY close to my house, literally right around the corner
2) the food and portion sizes are hard to beat.
You can get a two item combo with white rice for $ 5.99, which is a deal. Better than Carls Jr next door lol.
The only qualm I have is about the food. Some of the food is very greasy and the beef in their caldereta was very fatty.
Besides that, we for a lot of decent quality food for only $ 24.00 today. Which makes me feel better that we aren’t eating nasty fast food

Decent food quality with ok «for here» portions but price is not so crazy outrageous but a tad… with an «a la carte» grocery tax. Styrofoamed to go sizes are pretty small for what it’s worth. Not so comfy dining experience being the dining area a bit too small but still doable. Takes the comfort out of eating though with peace without having that feeling of Manong & Manang staring @ your greasy lips while your busy stuffing your face inhaling your food.
Try purchasing miscellaneous grocery items & double check after receipt ring up & check individual grocery tax & most likely will dampen further visit. They seem to have their own version of the Value Added Tax if that even still exist! I Really miss Baba’s Tsibugan but Lorraine will have to «suppice» when I get my «Pilipino Pix»!

I’m saddened to see negative reviews on here. Fortunately every time I’m here the food is good.
The Bikol express is pretty good. Not too spicy. Their sisig is good as well and has lots of pork. Many places I’ve been the sisig has too many peppers and onions so this one was really good.
They also give me large proportions. I’ve been to a lot of Filipino places where the combo platters only give you enough to fit in the to-​go box that is offered. At Lorraine, they give you tons of rice and put your food in a separate container and they really fill it up.
Their dessert however is different. The carioka is pretty good, however its not as dense as I wanted it to be. Their turon is pretty good and well sugared, but there’s more wrapping than there is banana and jackfruit.
To conclude, the food has been pretty good when I’m there. I’ve never encountered a fly in my food, nor has it been undercooked/​overcooked. It is reasonably priced. I bought a combo and three turon for about eight bucks.
I’m closer to another Filipino place, but I prefer this place and its worth driving here.

I hate that this is the closest Filipino restaurant near my home. About a month ago my girlfriend and I came here to eat breakfast. We had tocino, eggs, and rice. During our meal we found strands of hair in both of our plates. We decided not to eat there again. Today we planned on eating at another Filipino restaurant, but they we’re closed. Foolishly, we decided to give this place another shot. We took the food to eat at home. The diniguan had zero pieces of meat, literally only fat and intestines. The squash and bitter melon in the pinakbet was very undercooked, rock hard. My gf had to cook it again on our own stove top. Smh. They got us good twice. Never again. I would drive an extra 30 min to another location if I had to, to get my Filipino fix.

When I went In it smelled discusting… the food looked Worse than the place smelled. I ordered the noodles and asked if there was meat I’m them when I found out chicken I didn’t have the heart to tell them nevermind so I walked out and threw them away. So In all fairness I didn’t taste the food after reading the other reviews I’m glad I didn’t.

First time here with my friend when I come and visit these place. We ordered, sisig, adobong pusit, fried fish and pakbet. Everything was delicious and taste good. I definitely come back here.

Buffet food looks old at times… Been eating the food many times (wife filipino)…At our most recent visit the food was all taken away @ 7:30pm…Not good! Floors very slippery upon entrance… Tables tight in dining area. A lot of clutter! Parking is tight and annoying! Bathroom surprisingly not to bad!

People were friendly, food was good… Definitely was enjoying my Sisig and Beef Steak… Until we found THREE bugs in our Sinigang! I couldn’t even finish the rest of the food we ordered.

Kusina ni Lorraine is a cafeteria-​style Filipino restaurant, where you get authentic Filipino food for cheap. This location in Ann Road is much smaller compared to the other locations.
My faves at Kusina ni Lorraine: Chicken BBQ, Sisig, and Kare-​kare
They also sell Filipino snacks like chips, candies, drinks, and many more.
