CHEAPEST VEGAS BUFFET! The $8.99 Lunch at Kirin Buffet on E Flamingo Rd.

Sushi at the cheapest buffet. In Vegas. Whoa🫡

[@vena936]

🤣🤣🤣...I couldn't stop laughing the entire time.

[@rnhim2072]

Definitely nostalgic, my parents used to have a Chinese buffet during the 90s and this pretty much reminds me of those times growing up inside the restaurant.

[@martinlaursen7972]

Hey, it looks better than most Employee Dining Rooms. So for people who do not have that option, this is a great deal and the food is much healthier than eating fast for the same price. Great review.

[@bballerforever]

Thank you for this review! You are the Everyman, not the fake high rolling buffet reviewers, taking the bus and finding a low cost buffet. And you are hilarious without even trying! “adequate amount of seating” (no one in sight) “love the lo mein and jello” - until you tasted it. 2nd try - lo mein was OK since it was hot, not a high bar to achieve, haha. “Hot & sour soup, don’t know why it’s orange” “Fried stuff” You tell it like it is, the truth! (It’s a winner as long as you don’t get sick afterwards)

[@dannythemedic]

Thanks for watching and for the kind words. I am just a regular guy! The jello was pretty good, and the soup that was strangely orange was the egg drop soup, its usually yellow! Being a medic, my documentation is very "as things are" and that kinda makes it way into my youtube videos. I didnt get sick after this buffet but I also havent been sick for any reason ever since I have corrected my vitamin D deficiency.

I couldn't believe what i just click in to you're VLOG. This buffet prices is what i remember 24 years ago in Las Vegas where i got married with my hubby. Again the price b4 at the buffet at Luxor was 22 dollars each per head that time .. And this HOTEL Flamingo which we also visit b4 is really i just can't believe the price is still the same as it is . .. amazing .

[@sfdanceron1]

LOL!! I subscribed because you got on the bus. When I go to Vegas I just use public transportation. I go to Vegas 4 times a year just to eat, so I'm all over the area. I'm over 65 so $2.50 all day, that includes the deuce. If you're under, $5. Still a good deal.

[@dannythemedic]

I buy the $20 7 day residential pass.. :)

[@sfdanceron1]

@@dannythemedic Thinking about moving to Vegas just for the food. The eating scene here in the San Francisco bay area is way, way, way overrated. However, we probably have some of the best patisseries in the country. Have you been to rolling smoke for their beef rib? Actually, I really liked their bean side better than the rib, lol.

[@ji-inroh495]

[@dannythemedic]

thanks for the kind words! :)

[@tobiwalker7145]

Thank you for the review. I'm going to Las Vegas in April and one of my primary goals is to eat Asian food, which I can't get where I live. This looks like a typical steam table Asian buffet and considering how little food I can actually eat, the price is right for me. I will not eat the jello, tho. I have so little room in my old lady stomach that I can't waste the space on jello when there's rice noodles to be had.

[@dannythemedic]

This makes me very curious as to where it is that there is no Asian food... I cant imagine... I would starve! LOL please have fun in vegas!

[@sandgrownmanc6614]

I'm a big guy but I can't eat much either, I understand, buffets represent no value to us but at $8.99 who cares so much! Great find I'll be going, and on the bus too, I'm a real tight arse!!

[@michaelbarber590]

If you're ever in the Laughlin Nevada area, try the Hibachi Buffet in Bullhead City. It only a couple of miles from the Laughlin strip and the food is very good and it's only about $11 or $12 bucks. They have a really good selection of Sushi and a Mongolian barbecue as well.

Thank you!

[@richardt1792]

This reminds me of a buffet I would hit on my lunch breaks. Cheap, a few items that were quite good. Many things didn't look appetizing so I passed on them, I got variety, I could serve myself, and always left full. I got a quick, sit down meal for a couple of dollars more than fast food.

[@dannythemedic]

Thanks for sharing!! That is a great way to do lunch breaks. There used to be a place like that near me, but it closed down when the corona hit the media.

[@ogcowboy5743]

At less than $10 it's as cheap if not cheaper than a lot of fast food, which in many cases is not all that fast! Plus, at the buffet, it's all you can eat, go there hungry and fill up!

[@williamgehring2291]

Dollar-for-dollar, beats any combo from a fast food restaurant.

[@dannythemedic]

I agree, and with a selection like that, you can hone in on what you like.. If I was to just go there to eat normally, I would stay with just a few of the staples I like. The beef and broccoli, their salt and pepper chicken, fried rice and lo mein, (2-3 plates) some of their more basic sushi offerings and after soup and jello, there is no way 8.99 can be beaten!

[@borahjones9018]

Hey, $8.99 is good. I pay almost $11.00 for a couple of tacos and a burrito at Taco Bell in Boston. I'd take that buffet any day.

The buffet kind of looks like they have to refill the trays. I hope you enjoyed ur food. Thanks for bringing us along!! NewJersey 👍🏻👍🏻

[@dannythemedic]

It is a common thing to do to reduce the amount of food at the end of meal periods, I got there like around 2PM ish and lunch was to an end, not alotta customers left.. smarter buffets would even reduce the pan size at this time to better present the food... and the food there wasnt bad... cant complain for that price! which last I heard went up a dollar

[@robertgoss4842]

Danny...excellent video, good, detailed commentary. I got a pretty good idea of the overall quality from the careful video shots and your comments while actually sampling the food. I would eat there in a heartbeat, maybe two or three times a week, until I had tried everything. Looking forward to your future work.

[@dannythemedic]

Much appreciated! I would eat there more often also, its hard to beat that price... thanks for watching and for the nice well written comment!
