Great place for foodholics though a bit pricey!😌

Superb! The asian cuisine tastes really good. They serve different dishes around the world. I really like their Japanese food specially the sashimi!
I visited last January for a friend's birthday celeb. What's the best in Marikina Branch as compared to other branches is that it serves variety of dishes, from your steaks, to all time favorite desserts. Good customer service as expected to this buffets resto, and easy reservation via mobile device. Aside from the food, the view is also spectacular because we got a table where you can see the view of the metro. The best Vikings Branch visited so far.

The variety of food is great. The response from the kitchen whenever an area is running out of food is also good as they were able to fill it up. Very positive ambience which is a good venue for family gatherings.
My family and I have been celebrating our birthdays here for years. The food was amazing. They have a wide variety of menu. Their desserts and drinks have always been my favorites. Picture below is our recent celebration this January.
NOTE: These are based on my experience. There could be times na masarap ang food nila at hindi.

Venue is good. Clean and cozy. It's the food and service that is a bit disappointing. Only a few stocks are available for some of the food variants. Some desserts are not as fresh as they should be. Not all crew are friendly. If you're into liquors or fermented drinks, then better grab one as soon as possible as they do not have much refill during lunch. Best to reserve and walk-in during weekdays.

Another first time for me. I have been at SM City Marikina several times, but this is the first time I have tried Vikings. The guard and the staff were attentive, my friend went nearby to check and they accommodated us at once. They kept on asking if someone is celebrating their birthday, we answered, "Wala."
I'm not much of a buffet fan, because too many variety of food makes me confused and I'm a picky eater, so I went immediately to my favorite station, the carving station with lechon, lamb and turkey. I'm just a bit disappointed with the roasting/inihaw station, the Wagyu and the pork ribs were slightly tough to chew. I went to the Thai section to have some Chicken Pandan and it was bland. Though I enjoyed their coffee (both brewed and instant- Nescafe), their kakanin, puto bumbong and crepe.
Their effort in singing, greeting and taking photos and videos for the birthday celebrants were amazing, maybe this is the main reason why people go to Vikings to celebrate.
And another plus factor, their comfort room was really clean and hotel like.
Not the best Vikings branch but it was decent enough. The place is a bit crowded so it's hard to walk around for the food. But their steaks, lamb, and meat are cooked well -- very soft and it tastes good. Even if there were a lot of customers, they managed to keep their buffet tables full. The place is clean and the staff are attentive.
Must-try if you live in the East and can't go to the South for the other Vikings branches.
Needs more food selections. It was almost dominated by sushi but I did like the ones I got. I like the Vibe in this place though and we got a really good seat by the window. If I have to rank the Vikings I've been to, this takes the second place.

Ahh! Vikings - this is one of our go-to all-out buffet if we are feeling Viking-y especially on birthdays because "free" and the amazing song they will present to you. Anyways, the place is great, the waiting area has seat and very comfortable just in-case you are waiting for your turn to devour.
The staff are really nice, attentive and very positive even if they are working in a buffet restaurant. I worked in similar buffet restaurant and it is stressful! But these guys are rocking it!
The food are really great, the quality is superb, it's a great deal because of the wide selection of dishes from different countries. Just be vigilant and be prepared in-case you want to get a piece of those rare dishes because it can go out quick but don't worry the turn around time is good. The roasting section and the pizza section is my favorite. The lamb is okay but hey, it's unlimited so don't ask for more!
Just be prepare your tummy and your heart if you will dine-in, just keep your pacing, enjoy your meal, savor every moment. I can't wait to get back and try their new dishes (as they are rotating every day).
Let's rate them shall we?
Food: 4.5/5
Ambiance: 5/5
Service: 4/5
Value for money: 4/5
Two words: CHOCOLATE SHAKE.
Reminds me of the chocolate shake I used to have as a kid. That alone is enough reason for me to go back here. Not to mention the food taste really good!
One of the best buffet place to be, especially on your birthday celebration!!
They got a lot of food to choose from, one of my favorites is the sushi bar.. it is good to know they stock their sushi and sashimi all the time, especially since a lot of people line up for them...
For just under Php 1,000, Viking's remains to be the value for money buffet place. They have all the pieces of a hotel offering including fresh seafood, meat carvings, roasts, sashimi and a stretch of at least 50 kinds of desserts. They even throw in a range of drinking options, something most buffets doing even provide. You can expect your usual favorites here plus their very own curations.
If you don't know yet, you get a free buffet here on your exact birthday. You just need to be with at least one paying companion. I've done this twice already! And while our team dined there, around 50 were birthday celebrants.
The Turkey, Roast Beef and Siomai stood out the most amongst all the variety I had. For dessert, the Ube Cake was my favorite. I also found delight in a slice of their Black Forest Cake.
When was the last time you had Viking's? See you around here, soon?
what is there to write about a buffet? i’ve noticed that in the philippines... there are 3 classes of buffet... for the rich... middle class and the almost middle class... unlike in the US... you can eat where your boss eats... bellagio buffets to sizzlers... you know what i mean...
what we’ve noticed is that the air condition temperature might be at 26c and is rather hot...
anyway... this is our ninth time eating here ?... we’ve tried niu at sm aura but in my opinion, the vikings at sm marikina is still the best... the bartenders sam, reymond, kenneth and miguel are very nice... but most especially executive chef michael prado... he’s very humble and on the floor checking the staff and the food... ?? chef! 👏🏼 will always come back to this vikings branch... 👍🏻🤟🏻🤙🏻
Fun fact: they have roughly around 265 varieties of international dishes, mainly Western, Asian and Mediterranean cuisines. For the drinks, they have around 22 different kinds of hot and cold beverages. Dare to try every single one of them? The restaurant also spans to around 1,700 square meters that can cater to 475 patrons simultaneously. And unlike old-school buffet restaurants, the drinks are also included in the initial price.
We've been frequenting Vikings SM Marikina for the past years and every time we go here makes for a good time. For less than a thousand pesos, you get access to tons of dishes that would cost you a lot more if you order them individually. My personal favorites are the salmon sashimi and the steaks at the carving station.
Keep up the good work and I hope you continue to serve in the years to come!

I've been frequenting Vikings for the past few years since it opened in Marikina but hasn't given any reviews about it.
The place hasn't changed a bit. It's still cozy and the ambiance is really awesome. I must say I'm still satisfied with its wide variety of food choices
Their food variety are superb and still delicious. Desserts are mouthwatering. Whenever I went to Vikings I always look forward to tasting their Avocado Ice Cream and it never failed to give justice to my palate. I just felt disappointed that during the short time that I was there, my friend and I didn't get to take another serving of their lechon belly and shrimps. It was immediately replaced by a different dish.
Other than the few cons, eating at Vikings is still heavenly. I'd still give a thumbs up to this place. 👍👍👍
Their buffet is absolutely the best! They have a wide array of food choices from appetizers to viands to desserts 🍨 to drinks 🍹 If you are a big buffet fan this is the place for you! Remember to make your reservations early as the place is always packed! If it is your birthday 🎂 you will be greeted with maximum effort 😊
Super dami ng choices na food. May chinese food, korean, italian, pinoy and etc. Sarap pa ng food. Tips lang, wag muna kayo iinom ng drinks bago kumain para sulit yung buffet. If possible sa last na. Ako, small portion lang every food para matikman ko lahat. Sulit yung binayad kasi halos lahat natikman ko. Hindi ako nag rice kasi baka mabusog ako agad. Super enjoy! Nag celebrate kami ng valentines and birthday here. May pa cake pa si mayor para sa celebrant! 😁

In most buffets i've tried so far (including the ones in big starred hotels") Vikings is probably one of the best. From tremendous choices of international cuisines, wide variety of of options for drinks to the excellent service of the staff... not to mention that birthday promo where you just need 1 full paying adult and the celebrant is free or 4 if its within the birth month..
They are very attentive to your needs.. one good example is my daughter at that time is probably 10 years old l, who loves crab keeps on coming back on an empty tray. Someone noticed this... clueless my daughter came back to our table disappointed... but after few minutes an attendant came and loudly announced a plate of crabs for Ms. Clarisse!!! now, that is customer service at its best! I asked her if she asked for it and she said no.. he just asked for her name and table number.
Not just to my kid.. everytime I walk around, most attendants would ask me courteously if there's something I'd want or need.. and even the manager himself at that time named Michael would come to every table asking if everythings ok and if theres something he could assist us with. And amazingly with probably thousands of guests he aasists everyday he rwmembered us on our next visit and greeted us warmly.

1st time at Vikings Jan 20, 2018. Overall impression 4.5. Nice layout that gets everything moving fast without traffic in spite of the fact that it’s filled to the rafters. Great customer service from the bar, cashier, food counters and John Conrado. The angus I rate @ 4.2. The lamb @ 3.8. Too fat, kinda chewy. Mint is so so. But I loved the Lamb adobo at the end of the line near the restrooms. Sashimi @ 4.2. Sliced too small and thinly. Pale color. Succeeding servings are not for sashimi. Refills are pretty fast @ 4.5 in most sections. A few more cheese choices would be much appreciated. Crabs @ 4.5 but ran out early. Shrimp refills @ 4. Beer and bar service @ 5. Coffee americano @ 5. Aroma, taste and kick superb. Don’t miss the coffee! Vikings Calumpang is definitely worth a second look and more!
HEP HEP HOORAY!!! We had an awesome experience here at Vikings SM Marikina! Foods were properly served, there were lots of cuisine to choose from, the crews were friendly and accommodating, and even their own manager took a picture for us! We won't forget this get together date for our eyes and stomach had been full and satisfied. Thanks! 'Till next time! Happy birthday Ma'am (Ninang)Yonie!!! HAHAHA!!!
Vikings at SM Marikina. Food is great. Ice cream tastes so good especially the bubble gum flavor. All is well except for the attendants who never let us to move in more spacious table. But will definitely come back again. 😋😋😋
The foods are very delish and fresh. One thing that I don't like here is the slow refill of the tempura. We all know that tempura is the most awaited dish in viking 😉 esp 'coz it's my fave
Magpareserve ng seat bago pumunta bes!
The best ang sushi dito. Iba-iba, tapos yung flavor, sumasabog sa bibig mo. Hahaha. Heaven ang sushi counter. Don’t expect na may japanese mayo yung maki, panay kikkoman ang sauce nila rito saka calamansi. Okay rin ang wasabi.
Tip: Wag mong asahan na matitikman mo yung cali-maki dito kasi palaging ubos. May natyempuhan akong 3 pcs ng cali maki nung pangalawang balik ko but sad to say, ang konti ng tobiko nila.
Overall experience: 4/5
This is my third Vikings branch and my first time in Vikings SM Marikina. There were greater variety of food compared to Vikings SM BF but the place was really crowded that’s why it’s so hard to get the food we want. Also, they refill the food very slowly. But props to the staff, they were really entertaining specially when they took our photos for the birthday celebrants.

Vikings is one of the top choices when it comes to buffet. The branch in SM Marikina is spacious and has a cozy ambiance. It also has several rooms for those coming in big groups. They offer a large variety of food and the stations are set up appropriately. The staff aren't that lively and accommodating.
I liked the avocado ice cream, so legit! The sashimi was good but it's refilled very very slow and are thinly cut. The grilled pusit is very yummy, it's so easy to chew and tasty. I loved the grill station area, the service was a bit slow but the food delivered are worth it. There's plenty of cheese variants. For the pasta and sauce, there's a very few choices. I didn't like the baked oysters :( It disappointed me very much because it's one of the food that I've been looking forward to eat in buffets. The cheese on top is burnt and the insides aren't that tasty. The cheesecakes are superb! My favorites are the orea and blueberry variants.
Birthday celebrations are fun here. They will play a song and give out cakes per table with a celebrant.
I've been here twice and this is where I started to eat foods from eat-all-you-can buffet with my family. I love the food here, the place is clean, there are so many foods and drinks to choose from, the staffs are very accommodating and their comfort room is also the best 👍😊
This is were we celebrate our Birthday's with my family. Good food. Good ambiance. Good selection. It's always a pleasure to be here. The staffs are accommodating and friendly too.
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Vikings is a place for celebration. It has been known for celebrating birthdays since they have their free on your birthday (accompanied with one paying adult ) or celebrate with them on your birthmonth (you need to bring 4paying adults) to enjoy the freebie.
I tried to book a reservation in Vikings MOA, Vikings Sm North edas but to no avail. Luckily, I tried vikings marikina and got a reservation for seven people.
We enjoyed the food! There were variety of cuisines ranging from korean,chinese,western,japanese and a whole lot dessert. I love their selection since the food doesn’t taste too salty or oily. I’ve just noticed that they didn’t refill some of their food and drinks. As soon as it is already consumed they won’t serve it anymore. I enjoyed their selection of ice cream and other desserts especially puto bumbong 😊!
The over all experience was worth every penny. My family did enjoy the food and song given to mg mom and dad since they’re both celebrants.
By the way, you could reserve here in zomato. They will definitely connect you to the restaurant. I highly recommend that you should have a reservation since they’d be full of customers as early as an hour before the opening.
Their wide variation of cuisine with good presentation is what I liked about here. This branch in particular was well ventilated, clean and staff are nice. Price really matches the service and food quality.
Mas masarap ang menu sa SM Marikina kesa sa SM NORTH vikings. Mas malaki din ang place. Mas mabilis din magrefill ng food. Mas maraming food choices dito.
Ilang beses na din akong nakakain dito.
Sulit ang bayad lalo na pag birthday! Kaso mabagal sila magserve ng mga foods na inoorder. Malamig na din pag sinerve. Minsan yung grilled pusit, sobrang lamig na tapos di mo na manguya sa tagal nilang iserve. Pero overall okay naman ang lahat. 👍🏻
Vikings should be among the top choices when it comes to buffets. While some branches are just okay, Vikings SM Marikina has always been our go-to Vikings for several years now. It’s actually our personal favorite and for good reason. We always have this favorite area by the window. It’s much cozier and there aren’t too many people roaming about.
Typical lasa ng mga food nothing special. But the ambiance ang ganda at relaxing. Medyo matagal mag refill ng hipon. Hindi masarap yung sushi nila. At hindi nila ako binigyan ng milk.

Vikings Sm Marikina
We went to Vikings to celebrate a family friend's birthday. This wasn't my first time eat at Vikings but it's my first in a long time. I feel like the quality degraded over time :-(
What I didn't like:
- salmon sashimi were sliced too thinly and most of the time you couldn't get any
- Tuna sashimi was replaced by kani (BIG DEAL)
- Rockefeller oysters also took too long to be refilled
- Squid siomai's weird
- No more pana cotta options
What I liked:
- cheese options
- They now offer other dessert options like vanilla souffle and avocado cheesecake
- Salad options were good
- There were a lot of choices for drinks
- Frozen yogurt!
Overall, one of the better options in SM Marikina but there are better buffet options if you travel a bit further.
This is one of the bests eat all you can resto. You'll find almost all types of dishes, sulit ang bayad. Also, it's nice to celebrate birthdays here.
Food is 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Lalo na yung roast beef, lechon, turkey, tempura and desserts! You might want to try din yung pesto nila!!! Also i've got to mention yung baked clams nila ay the boooomb
Very accommodating and friendly staff, malinis yung cr. Magpabook kayo kasi lagi sila puno even on weekdays lalo na kung holiday or weekend :) para ma-accomodate kayo agad and start na kumain yey
Got plenty of food choices. The staffs are really nice especially when it's your birthday, they will sing for you make you laugh. Good place to celebrate whatever occasion.
Very accomodating sila.
Maganda ambiance.
Sa food, must try yung japanese cuisine nila. 😍
..................................................
Definitely a feast from the sea with main dishes from different international cuisines, sweet and healthy desserts plus overflowing drinks for everyone!😊
Had a great time here this afternoon. Food were well-prepared and mouthwatering.
The ambiance was good, loud, and energetic. Their "Birthday Crew" were consistent and in high spirits despite the many birthday celebrants that they have to go through.
Also got my very own Vikings Card for only PHP 50!
Will I go back here? Definitely! No need to wait for an occasion.
Great food, lot of variance. beer is bottomless.
Kaya lang ang ibang food gaya ng crabs, steak and other food na medyo mahal eh nakatago, you have to ask their staff to prepare for you. so if you dont know that there's a crab or roasted turkey you cannot get it.
I just passing by when I saw one customer handling over the crab from the staff, but i didnt saw the crab from table. so i ask the staff and immediatly told me to bring it on my table, so meron palang mga pagkain na hindi pinapakita and very limited, so if you go there, dont be shy to ask, because you paid to eat for that delicious food..
Vikings!.... please informed the customer properly... hindi daw ganito dati sabi ng friend ko..thanks

We had lunch here at Vikings last January to celebrate the Christening of my nephew who was 3 months old that time. The place tends to be crowded during lunch especially on weekends.
AMBIANCE
The restaurant had nice interiors. However, I was not impressed with the buffet layout. I found it hard to get food since the function room was located at the far end of the restaurant. It's best to get seated right in the middle to fully enjoy the buffet spread.
SERVICE
The staff were helpful and they even offer to bring food to the table instead of waiting for it to be cooked. However, the service is slow and they have a tendency to forget to attend to your needs and requests. It also takes them long to clear the table. I guess it's because of the volume of customers during lunch time. Otherwise, the staff were all pleasant.
FOOD
The food selection was pretty much okay but I still prefer the buffet spread in Megamall. I went for the sashimi first. You could ask for a fresh slice of sashimi instead of settling for the one on the serving plate. Afterwards, I got a steak. The carving station is always full of customers and you have to wait a long while to get your steak. I was lucky I was able to get my first one right away but had to wait long for my second serving. The Baked Oysters were amazing as well but you have to, again, wait long for it. It's better to just leave your table number with the one in charge of the station and they will just serve it to your table. The crepe station was also popular but they were pretty much quick in turning over the food. Overall, the food was great. It would be better to go here on weekdays, instead, as it gets too crowded on weekends.
Been in Vikings SM Marikina for many times! Wala masyadong bago sa menu. But still a nice place to have your cheatday! Burger lang kulang sakanila. Sana yung cakes nila, mas madami pang options... Grilled squids super thumbs up! Sisig nila for me is 2.5/5 stars. Sana yung mga soup nila, sa ilalim may burner (yung soup kasama ng mga buffet) bilis lumamig nung iba. Dapat dagdagan din nila yung kuhaan ng ice. Nagiging crowded kasi dahil sa pagkuha ng ice!! :) Enjoyed my night lalo na't nasunod ang request ko na sa side kami ipwesto. Booked it online tapos magsabi kayo doon ng mga request niyo. Accomodating staffs din :)
It's my first time to have my birthday buffet here and I had a good experience. They have a really good selection and with their very nice presentation, you would know that the food was well prepared. Even if the place was packed, you wouldn't feel that it's crowded. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, they would even deliver your food to your table if they notice a number of customers queueing for a certain dish. I also loved their dessert choices, and the donut wall looked interesting. I am looking forward to dining here again hopefully very soon.

This was my 3rd time I think eating here. We are fond of eating at different buffet resto. 👌
This branch was always jam packed. We ate here on a sunday lunch. They have lots of dish to offer, from chinese dish, desserts, they also have kid station that offers fries, burger, spaghetti, they also have station where you can request to grill squids and meat, they also have station where you can make your own salad, different bread, juice. You can also have your beer, coffee or tea. Just a lot of dish to offer! Money worth! (Buffet Lover here!)
The staffs are also accomodating and cheerful!
*my pics are just "some" of what I really ate. :)
Thanks #Citi for the treats. We've enjoyed dining here again. I always choose Sushi first, but this time I grabbed their US Steak and Australian lamb. As my rule of thumb, just take small amount on a plate. :)
Though they have wine; if you would like to have one, it's 140 per glass and 650 per bottle. On Sake, I saw a label under the drinks section, but no sign to get one, I guess you need to order that too. :D And lastly, hopefully they'll serve brewed coffee real soon!
Always make a reservation and/or come early. Food is nice and has a wide variety. I appreciate the Japanese food and seafood section a lot. Plus their dessert area is already mouth-watering.

Reminder: Make reservations. Always make reservations. 😬
Took advantage of the "#du30" promo today and we only paid for 2 out of the 4 in our group. Not bad.
I think this branch is their smallest, but the buffet still has a lot of choices. Food quality and flavour are good enough for what you normally pay for.
Vikings has a few variety of food to choose from for me. Vikings though has a great american meat selection to choose from so it's okay. I liked their tea too! The service was good and I love tempura here hahaha :)
Best international buffet place in the country. Food has a wide range of cuisines. Size of the restaurant is big enough to accommodate special occasions. A good place to bring big groups anytime of the week without hassle.

Overall rating 4.75 stars
▪ Food 4.25
▪ Customer service 5.25
Though the selection wasn't as extensive as that of Vikings SM Megamall, there is still a lot of really good food to be had at this outlet of Vikings.
▪ Prawn tempura. The batter wasn't too thick, which we like. However, it took too long to refill. Kinda frustrating.
▪ Suahe, hakao, pata tim, and steamed chicken with ginger.
▪ Roast turkey with cranberry jelly, jack eye roll with red wine sauce, and crispy BBQ ribs
▪ Caviar cake
▪ Vanilla souffle
Getting a reservation at one of the best and busiest restaurants in the metro is oftentimes a major inconvenience at best. I usually have to call days in advance, spend hours waiting on the phone or on Facebook Messenger, and have to arrive extremely early to secure and to keep the reservation. I used an app to make my reservation at Vikings, and it took only six minutes to confirm my reservation. And when I arrived at Vikings, the front desk let me skip the entire queue! Amazeballs! Really happy with the level of customer service that we experienced here.

Long overdue review of my favorite Vikings branch
Also the first 5 star rating that I would give
We've been eating here since this branch opened and they never fail to deliver to our expectations not really the most delicious food in town but definitely the best buffet in town well that's for me.
Courteous staffs, Great food, Nice Ambiance, Good Location that's how I will summarize my description for Vikings SM Marikina.
This is near our place so every time there is a special occasion this is our go to place and as I've said this branch never failed to deliver to our expectations.
I can't recall all the food stations that they have but definitely they have one of the biggest buffet spread in the country. What is also great is that it is really budget friendly and is definitely a bang for the buck buffet! My favorite stations are the Carving,Pizza/Pasta,Dessert,Chinese,Japanese, and maybe almost all! Well if you haven't tried this branch yet then I'm telling you its worth the try and is really very accessible being near the LRT Station.
I hope they can continue to provide good service and quality food in the years to come :)

Had a wonderful experience here at Vikings Sm Marikina. Sobrang sulit lalo na kung dto mo balak mag celebrate ng birthday. Perfect for family gatherings and for barkadas. Affordable and the place is so classy. Even their comfort room, it's so clean and nice. I didn't even taste everything in here sa sobrang daming choices of foods. The next time we go here i will make sure to taste every meal they have haha xD we dine here lunch time this March 20 2016 because it's my boyfriends birthday and we are so happy and satisfied with what we pay for.
I really like Vikings here in Marikina. Place is bright and spacious compared to others IMO. Food's good, since I'm not a fan of Japanese/Chinese cuisine, I have other option to choose from. I always grab a plate of their steak of sorts and their bubblegum froyo + marshmallows and the mix-and-match drinks.Will go back definitely!
I've been to other Vikings branch but it was my first here at Vikings Marikina. Everything went very smooth. We didn't make a reservation beforehand but we still tried since it is a weekday. Glad the area is not full yet.
Our seat reservation went very smooth. For juat a couple of minutes, we were accompanied by a waitress to our table. Jist sad that we didnt get to choose our own seat unlike on the other branches.
We roamed around the restaurant. We started to eat meat, then japanese food, seafood, and had some coffee. My boyfriend and I still want to have some coffee so we returned. However, the coffee already has lots of people waiting and I saw that one of the dispensers are already out of coffee. Was quite frustrated since we have to go home already and the coffee dispenser was not yet refilled. :(
Overall, I know I'll be back here again. :)

Last Friday (January 22, 2016), we went at Vikings SM Marikina for a reunion with Kiseeeg and welcome food fest with May haha.
We went there at around 11-12pm already for a lunch buffet via reservation. Honestly, this is my first time to try a buffet in Vikings and after hearing a lot of positive reviews, I was expecting a lot from this buffet restaurant.
Staffs were very polite and accommodating to our needs.
I wasn't able to take photo of the place (as I was more focused on the foods haha) but this fancy buffet in SM Marikina branch is very big and spacious. There were a lot of food stations to choose. I wasn't able to take all of the food stations but I was able to take photos of most food stations they have.
They really have wide variety of foods to choose!
What I like about this buffet restaurant is that even though they have wide variety of foods, they didn't compromise the quality of the foods they served. So far, all of the foods I tried were good enough for me.
Will I comeback? Definitely! I’m thinking if I'll go here for my birthday soon :) Hmm.
One of the best all-you-can-eat buffet in the country in terms of diversity, quality of dishes offered, cleanliness and ambiance. We couldn't gather enough praises to give it justice.
Everything looks and tastes good and the price is reasonable. The staff are quick to help and courteous. Just bring your appetite and wear loose pants.
Well done Vikings!!!
Everything about this place screams "Bravo!". I REALLY enjoyed their sushi and dessert bar and their chinese food counter as well.
You can really explore the world... one dish at a time! :)
Best buffett in town! Great food with great customer service on a perfect occasion! Me and my husband will always love vikings. We want to celebrate our special occasions here, like birthdays, anniversary and christmas day. ♡
VIEWS: 9,199 times (and counting..)
Post-graduation celebration with my dad and 2 cousins here @ Viking's tonight and we enjoyed almost everything!!
Honestly it was my first time to eat here and I was amazed how big this branch is. I immediately went to the Japanese section for different sushiiiii. I love sushiiiii. I also made my own pizza. I tried a lot of food and drinks but the only ones that strikes me were the sushi, fresh raw Tuna and Salmon, hakao, different meats and the yoghurt icecreaaaaaam.
I think I'll go back here to celebrate my birthday hehe :)

if i need to go buffet restaurant viking is the best in the Philippines.
of course hotel buffet restaurant has fresh materials and but for me when it comes to price, some times i think that's too expensive. when we are many i would want to find where all of us will be satisfied with the food and the budget.
So Viking! again!!
i think viking Marikina branch is better than MOA. maybe because it's near my place(?) haha but not only that, it's because they put the foods it one line that on the path i can look around the food at once.
i started with sushi part first :) i love their sushi that they have just right size of rice. and after that i tried Chinese dim sum and different kind of salad then i go for stake! i loved all the sauce that they prepared :D
of course i can't miss the dessert!! i got vanilla ice cream and put coffee on it :) since it's a buffet i needed to go both ice cream section and beverage section, its still worthy :) but together with coffee and ice cream and fruit fondue is perfect for ending my meal!
Wide variety of choices! Great food and service! However, tempura shrimps are small and you'll to have to wait before they refill the basket with more tempura. Overall, *burps* nuff said!
I love food and it's the only thing that I don't have any restrictions about. If you're not fond of food, you're missing so much in your life. That is most likely why I don't turn down any food event invitation or a lunch/dinner out. I also love buffets!. It's nice that there are many options now for buffet eating and the amount and variety of food being served is ever growing as well. One of the places I really like to go visit for binge eating is Vikings. I've visited their SM Megamall, SM Jazz and the upscale version Niu.
My favorite Vikings branch! It's very SPACIOUS, so there are barely any lines! It's very elegant-looking, as well. Among their offerings, I most specially enjoy their selection of Japanese food and seafood! Salmon and shrimp for the win! Whenever I'm starting to feel a little full, my "break" would be to get a lot of shrimps, de-shell them, and eat them with vinegar! Yum! I also like their wide variety of desserts and toppings for ice cream and yogurt!
Its my first time eating at vikings and also my first time to taste the bubblegum Ice cream flavor, and from then on it became my favorite Ice cream flavor. I also love their crepe. Overall I was very satisfaied by their food. So much to choose from. The staff was also very acomodating.

Aside from their fancy place and delectable foods, their service (esp. Manager Bacs) and their professionalism is awesome, they are all nice and funny, he even approached us (well, hell yeah!) anyway, all in all I had a great time and as a first timer of Vikings I am sure that I will revisit this place. 👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽👍🏽 Awesomeeee☺️☺️
For me, this is the best branch I've been to so far compared to MOA and megamall branches. Salmon Sashimi, roast beef, oyster rockafeller are some of the best sellers. If only they serve botttomless wine.

We were able to try this branch for my birthday once which I celebrated with two other friends. Hands down, the best value for money buffet in Metro Manila. Hotel quality eat-all-you-can buffet at a non-hotel eat-all-you-can buffet price!
The place is nicely decorated and maintained but is a bit crowded. walking areas are a bit tight and the tables are quite near to each other.
The food was excellent. I am used to non-hotel eat-all-you-can buffets that have two or three main good dishes which everyone focuses on and the rest garbage. Vikings was a pleasant surprise as all the food that was served on their truly very long buffet line was of good quality. There were so many things I wanted to try that it was so hard not to overeat! (well, i guess overeat more than usual in an eat-all-you-can)
Despite some of the small problems, you can't help but grade this eat-all-you-can buffet very high. In the end, the quality of food is most important in any restaurant and the food quality here is top notch especially for an eat-all-you-can buffet. And also very affordable too!

For how many times we celebrated special occasions still haven't tried everything. Wide array of food. The best buffet resto. And the price is just right.
I enjoyed making my own milktea! Unlimited milktea 💗.
