Great ambiance and pretty good food! I would totally give this place five stars if I knew what half the food I ate was! (Very few signs to tell you what each buffet item is!) The staff were extremely pleasant and we really enjoyed the music and dance show by the staff towards the end of read more

Worst buffet ive ever experienced! Went january 1 of 2024 on 12pm, paid full price and sime of the choices are nearly empty already. I thought its pretty normal due to the holiday and alot of people are eating too but theyre taking too long to refill some foods! Just I thought everything is bad, not till we saw the big ass rat running around. A lot of people saw it too! Talked to the manager and denied everything. Didnt even apologize. Vikings used to be a great restaurant. 7 years later from the US and this is what I come back with. What a shame. read more

They open at 5PM. Unfortunately, they start calling reservations at 5:30PM. Why is that? Just to keep customers waiting? Or they are not ready to serve on time because they are too slow. They should change the time to 5:30 PM instead of 5PM. So if you have a 5PM reservation, be prepared to wait 30 minutes to get served. read more

Worst experience ever!! This place gone south everything is just bad customer service and food quality. The sitting arrangements are horrible they pack you like sardines . Even when you want to grab food can't get up without bothering the next table . read more

Came here at a lunch time at exactly 12. No lines yet there were plenty of people inside already. I guess reservation is highly recommended since they get full pretty fast. On entry you can already see an array of food. You are greeted first by their display of desserts. Makes you want to rush eating to get to them lol as you move to the right side you can find a great number of delicious food from tapas, spicy paella, assortment of seafood, roasted pork, steaks and a filipino food station. Their is also sushi, chinese station, italian station, and during lunch time they also offer a good number of breads. I was amazed by the number of drinks they have mostly healthy too. From watermelon to lemon infused iced tea, guava, papaya and even cucumber which i found really refreshing. There is also sago and gulaman which is not so healthy but definitely pleasing to the taste buds lol and last but not the least my favorite part when eating...dessert! Ooh how i loved their taro panna cotta and their ube pao (i made that dessert lol). Today they had unicorn cupcakes but i was too full i didnt get to try it. It looked moist and yummy. There is such a huuuge selection of food and i have not seen anything in comparison to this in the US. That being said i believe this would probably be one of the things i'll miss now when we leave. Definitely a 5 star and a must try place! read more

Nasty food, nothing tasted good. The place looked good but everything was cold and not appetizing

I deleted my original which I posted about a year ago to change my the 4-star rating. I probably visited this place like twice a month. Today, I came with my brother as a walk-in at opening which is at 11AM. When we were finally called to be seated, 15 minutes, after being listed, I asked if we can have booth #223, which is our favorite spot, my brother and I. The stern hostess, Shelly told us that the booth is already reserved. and were led to table #104 without even looking at her sheet. I was fine with table 104 until I found out my movement was restricted because right behind me was a small storage area for beer and high chairs for kids, which was often being used. Dining near a storage area spoiled by appetite. By 12:15PM, Booth 223 remained unoccupied. So I went to the front and looked for Shelly to complain. She as matter of factly told me the booth was already reserved for 12Noon, I told her we never had problems with getting booth 223 before as long as we get there by opening time, and besides why would she give us a table by the open storage area when there were a lot of other tables available? I took our time finishing our meal and left about 12:25PM and the table was still vacant. Everybody in this establishment from servers to the sushi station to the cashiers are very pleasant anc customer oriented. The host and that guy who led us to the table (whom we also requested a table change} need to change their "I am in charge here" attitude. I will still patronize Viking because of the other staffers who know what hospitality means, and it is close to where I live, but I hope they train their first in line hospitality people more. read more

Unfortunately, I think it's not worth the price. Sure the food is good enough. They have a good variety of food selection. Still, I think it's not a wow. read more

Vikings is located inside SM City Mall Cebu on the second floor by Forever 21. We initially called to reserve a table but they stated they were fully booked but they also accept walk-in guests. So we headed out and arrived about 7-ish pm. We approached the host and they gave us a number. We glanced up at the number being served.. 35 then looked at our number, 71. We decided to wait and it wasn't really a bad wait either. About an hour later our number was called. We were a party of seven and we were seated near the meat carving area. Upon entering the restaurant it took me back to the time we went to Las Vegas and their buffets at the casino resorts there. It had the same ambiance with about the same amount of customers with friendly waiters and waitresses, quick too, if I may add. I took a walk around to see what they offered. A good variety ranging from Chinese, Filipino, American, Spanish, Japanese, Italian, a salad area, and desserts galore. I decided I would have a go at the meat carving station, ordered a steak at medium well, a portion of chicken and tasted some lamb too. Both the steak and lamb were a bit chewy but seasoned well. The chicken was good. I had mashed potatoes for my side on my first plate and added some garlic sauce on top. Just right for me! mmm. They have a beverage section where you can try out different flavored agua frescas, san miguel beer on tap and you can also get Heineken in a bottle neck. I believe they also offered wine, coffee, and tea. Dessert ranged from ice cream to rice pudding, churos, small bite sized cakes, fruit salad, and bread pudding with a choice of chocolate or vanilla syrup. The bread pudding was soo good I went back twice. Price for dinner: 838 pesos per person Birthday celebrant is complimentary with other paying adults in your party present. Must bring I.D. Overall, I will frequent this buffet for special occasions. They have one of the best promotions, price is just right for the variety and quality of food that they offer. Service was great as well! read more

Great buffet restaurant. I'm thinking it might be the best one in Cebu. Look for deals to save money. I'd definitely recommend making reservations. Large amounts of variety, and all you can drink beer as well. Well worth going to if you are looking for a place to satisfy cravings that you can't get elsewhere at a decent price. read more

They practice discrimination at this place. Have to have Philippines I'd to get a discount. I'd give them a lower review but don't have negative read more

Lots of food and fun place to take a group. Many dishes from around the globe along with a huge desert counter! read more

All your food cravings from diff. countries will definitely be satisfied. Worth the price :)

Price is a little bit steep. But one should try dining here even once. Place isn't that big. Food selection is impressive though the drink selection has Heineken on tap or bottle it lacks some drinks that some would enjoy. Food wise it was good but not amazingly mouth watering. I've tried better. Dessert spread wasn't that amazing either. It was a good experience but it wasn't that impressive. read more

I called them to reserve seats for my husband's birthday and the lady I spoke to asked for my number and said I will receive sms confirmation but I did not receive any. It was tuesday afternoon when I made reservation then I called again 2 hours prior to our reservation to ensure that it is 100% confirmed. The lady I spoke to confirmed the seats but dis not say anything about the holding time policy even after I mentioned that I did not receive their sms. We went to Vikings then hoping that we will be seated on the area requested as we do not want to be in noisy area nor near the hall way. Only to find out that the seats were 'hold' as we have to be there by 12 or reservation made will be useless. The lady in the front desk was insisting that it was hold since we were not there 12nn and said it was on the sms they sent. I told her twice I did not receive any and tried to show her my phone. I even mentioned I called more than 2 hours ago and stated I did not receive the sms but she kept on insisting. So I angrily whispered her to stop insisting as I do not want to make a scene since I can see pile of customers waiting in line. Then the manager came and the lady in front desk informed her manager about my booking and that my number on their record is incorrect!! It is so easy to ask for my number again when I called few hours before the reservation date but the lady on the phone did not bother doing so. Even the manager does not seem friendly nor well trained how to properly assist customers! I am pregnant and should not be stressed over booking issue that was not my fault. Ending, we were seated in back to back tables where me and my husband had to sit apart to join our guests. Good thing after an hour the customers on table near us left so we moved there so we can be seated together. If I was advised of the 'hold' policy about reservation, we could have went there earlier. 0/10 for Waiters/waitresses clearing the tables and assisting customers. 'Lemuel' was so snobby when we asked him for spoon. He gave us the spoon without looking at any of us nor saying anything, either he is not happy with his job or he really has nasty attitude. We are so mad about the rudeness so we were talking about him loudly so he can hear us and he retaliated as if he is ready for argument. He has disgusting attitude , he should be re-trained how to assist customers properly. 10/10 for the people in japanese section for their friendliness. 0/10 for front desk staff. 5/10 for the food since most are average. Tempura was filled with batter with tiny shrimps inside. Beef was so dry and not flavorful, sapin sapin was so rubbery while Juices are also average but the dimsum section was amazing. 5/10 for value for money, as I feel like it's expensive considering the quality of food. 3/10 for ambience/seats as it is too crowded. You will be bumping with other customers on other table, I think making the area a lot bigger with plenty of space between tables will be a lot better. All in all experience, it's not suitable for any celebration but with usual hangout with friends or family. I do not think we will be coming back. read more

The buffet seems to be a slow but rising trend in cebu. A few months ago it was buffet 101 and now vikings, the other place claimed hotel ambiance while this place claims luxery. The ambiance is definitely more upscale. The are located in sm mall which already makes them convenient to all, if i'm not mistaken they even plan to open a place i. sm seaside. In regards to food they have a great spread, they even have lamb! The dessert offering seems to be dissappointing to both. Since its new as of this posting, you'll want to make reservarions. I'm a walk in at #34 and i came in at 1145, they open at 1130. read more

Look at how amazing Vikings is ! They have food from all over the world and have really cool concepts. Donut wall, fondue fountains, shabu hot pots, and fresh grills! The lunch is only 688 and dinner is 888. The service is amazing and are really there for you. The chefs will give you great suggestions and the bussers will help you take your food to your table. Make sure to get there early or make a reservation because you will be waiting. To top it off the restaurant manager, Kenneth, stopped by our table to give us an awesome welcoming. Excellent service and excellent food! read more

How can you go wrong eating at a place called "Vikings"!! Our family enjoys the "feast" whenever we can stop by. The entire staff of Vikings alway's treat us like gold. read more

Had lunch there the other day...food looked amazing...but that is where it ended...there is this stuff called spices and herbs...or if you want to get basic...salt and pepper. Probably the blandest food i tasted in the Philippines. Don't see why anyone would recommend this place. I certainly won't waste my money returning. read more
