Very disappointed. Buffet was empty. Food wasn't being replenished. And for the price they charge you would think they would have a better selection of drinks but nothing appealed to me. Food was awful. I ended up making an improvised palabok with the meager leftovers on the counter. Also made myself a custom halo halo. Ended up drinking a strawberry mango juice which tasted more like a combination of strawberry syrup with calamansi juice. I don't recommend the place but the place seems packed with locals with everyone celebrating their birthday. We didn't realize this was a big birthday celebration party place. Nevertheless they should at least replenish their food on the buffet. It's the least they can do. read more

Vikings - Custom halo halo - Buffets Near Me - Quezon City, NCR

I love that this place is easily accessible and right at the center of multiple transit options. There is also a decent amount of parking at The Block and in SM North EDSA in general. Vikings is also very generous in terms of their birthday week and month promos. They also have birthday cakes to hand out to the celebrants. Something they do different now compared to how I remember from around 3-5 years ago was that the servers or waiters now have a procession or parade sometime after the dining time starts. The performers go around the dining area in a line shout and start singing and dancing to the tune of whatever novelty song is presently popular. However, this same gimmick may turn off some who may find it a little less than classy and can tend to cheapen the ambiance of the place. How they start the parade is with someone from the Vikings performing group shouting. This got us startled and thought someone was fighting inside the restaurant. Another thing I noticed was that the dining area was a little more cramped than how I remembered it before from my experience with this place or other Vikings locations. It looked like the operators maximized seating capacity to the floor area available. There is not enough elbowroom to comfortably and ergonomically dine. The food options were still good to great. There is enough variety for whatever one will feel like having for the night. What I personally craved during the night was the chicken feet dimsum and many of the meats in the carving station. A pro tip I have is to make sure to request for some of the canned beverages by the drinks bay beside the carving station. The canned drinks are limited are quick to run out. read more

The ambiance is out of this world. Thanks Vikings for all your culinary expertise. The sashimi is so succulent. The prime rib is out of this world endless shrimps and mussels . The ice cream and cake are fantastic. Great job Vikings.‼ read more

I've heard so much about this place and it was even recommended by my in-law. For me it's just a hype... Well, here it goes... Reservation is highly recommended..you can walk-in but you'll be at the mercy of others... The place is decent and spacious. Service was good and the staff were always cleaning our table. Food wise, they have the usual buffet foods but options is at par not a lot of seafood options though. They have mixed seafoods(w/ alimango) but it's not usually displayed so you have to really ask them for it at the Chinese station. Mixed seafood sauce is a little tad salty. It's good that my uncle had a shabby-shabu and I had to used it to wash the saltiness of the crab. Another plus ... the beers are unlimited. They have a few options... they also have bottled and draft... Recommended? If you're a first timer, i guess it's okay but I won't go back unless someone treat me to go there. Personally, I rather go to dads/kamayan/saisaki in the Philippines it's cheap and pretty much you have the same options. read more

Also... if it's ur exact bday u get a free meal... yeyyy read more

Took too long to replenish the food. We asked for tempura from the moment we entered the restaurant but never had it till we check out.

An impulsive friend of mine just suddenly asked me and a group of other friends if we were fine with eating at Vikings at a certain date during the Christmas break. When a few of us said our "yes"es, he booked us all a whole month prior. Making reservations at Vikings is apparently difficult, and waiting for your turn to be seated on the night itself is grueling if you didn't book early enough. Fortunately for me and my friends, we were able to get a table as soon as Vikings opened for dinner. I didn't know what to expect from a 800+ peso buffet dinner. I didn't expect to experience such 5-star quality dishes and desserts. I didn't expect that I'd experience a wide range of cuisines, that the variety makes going around and getting food so much fun, that I could only afford a couple of bites each dish so my appetite won't be ruined so early in the game. My favorite station would always be the steak station because the meat is so tender, and the gravy and other sauces are just so good. And don't get me started on the dessert table. Oh, how immaculate the ending to a long night of savory dishes. The highlight of our night was when this waiter named Ivan went to our table to dance for my friend who was celebrating her birthday soon. She had already left prior to his arrival, so we just pointed at another friend of ours when he asked who the birthday celebrant was. Ivan the waiter's dancing was so provocative and entertaining, and seeing him dance for our guy friend who we had subjected into that experience was one story we'll never get tired of telling. It was a unique though expensive experience all in all, but it's nice to splurge and indulge with great friends. read more

Vikings - Buffets Near Me - Quezon City, NCR

Vikings used to be our favorite buffet resto but my visit last weekend changed all that. Took forever for them to refill food and when they do, they do it in small portions. By the time I get there, food is empty again and I have to eait for the next refill. Waiters are also the worst. They pretend they dont hear you so they dont have to assist us and when you do get their attention, they'll tell you to wait but will never return read more

I was not impressed with this one. I went lunch time there was a lot of people so it was chaotic. They had a lechon specialty that I waited 45 minutes and they gave me a very small portion without the skin so I protested. Their drinks were not as great I found the Buffett 101 is much better. More choices and more organized. The halo halo bar was not stocked properly and a lot of the ingredients were missing. I had some fish and squid barbecued but it never came to my table. I had to go back 3 times till they finally gave me somebody else's order. I was surprised because I carefully picked what I wanted. After an hour of confusion I decided to leave wishing I was back in Las Vegas . The home of Buffetts. read more

I'd say this is one of the better buffet places to go to. Though on the expensive side, they have a selection that can rival most good hotel buffets in Metro Manila. Taste-wise, this should rank number 1 on any buffet-foodie's list. They continue to change up their menu so you won't easily get bored with what they have to offer and it is actually one buffet you can keep coming back to over and over again and you'll always see something new. Drinks are bottomless, of course, but what I love is that even their beer on tap is on that drink-all-you-can mode. Since they have more than a hundred dishes for you to sample, the trick to tasting almost everything is to have a good strategy. Either skip the carbs (rice and bread) or just take a little bit of everything and come back for the items you really like. In my case, this would naturally be their Japanese fare. One thing to note though, it is hard to make reservations with Vikings. It's actually easier to just go there before they open for lunch or dinner and get a number. If you're a small party, you usually get seated pretty fast. read more

Vikings is apparently the most popular buffet these days. I do have to say that this is the biggest and most varied one I have tried in the metro. No matter how big your stomach capacity is, there is just no way that you would be able to sample all their dishes in just one day, not even if you just ate a spoonful of each dish. I love that they have taho and frozen yogurt on tap. They also include juices and soda with the buffet price. They have counters for Filipino, Western, Japanese, and Chinese cuisine. The variety is just mindboggling. I do find the incessant singing of the happy birthday song rather annoying. People who celebrate their birthday with at least one full-paying guest get to eat for free--- and with that, comes the mandatory singing and picture taking, complete with the high feathered hat and portable styro backdrop that announces to the world how you freeloaded on Viking's dime. You do get a mini-cake with a candle on top, which they would happily pack in a takeaway container for you. If you want to try Viking's, you have to be patient because even with reservations, there are lots of waiting involved. Your entire party (or most of it) needs to be present and accounted for at least 20-30 minutes before your time or else you reservation gets pushed back. And trust me, once people get in the buffet, they won't come out until the buffet closes or until their tummies have exploded--- whichever comes first. read more

Who doesn't love buffets? I don't. Yeah, ok, I'm lying. You caught me. I absolutely love buffets! And Vikings is one of the best buffet places I know of. But what makes it different? Firstly, it doesn't lower the quality of its dishes. Unlike many other buffet places, Vikings doesn't water down its food. In fact, its dishes are all packed with flavor and are as sophisticated as the food in any 5-star hotel buffets in the metro. Secondly, their choices are so extensive that even after numerous visits, I still can't contain my excitement at seeing the lavish spreads on the buffet tables. It's like they have something new every time I go there which means that I never get tired of the food they offer. Lastly, it may be expensive, but it's also one of the few eat-all-you-can places where the price is absolutely worth it. read more

Vikings is one of the most popular buffet places in Manila. With its classy ambiance and wide array of food selection, you can never go wrong with Vikings. It's good food packed on an 800 budget. Although the food are great, it could totally be improved on, especially the dessert section. Meat section (including steaks and turkeys) are definitely great, and gives off the value for your money. Only issue would be the long lines, if ever you choose to walk in. If possible, always reserve prior to your visit to avoid waiting for hours before eating. read more

Food is okay. Hindi ganon kasarap para umulit ka uli nung natikman mo. I loved the dessert and chinese stations. Hindi ko na babalikan yung japanese station. read more

Guy next to me tried to out-eat me. Wrong move. He projectile vomited at the table. Lots of food at this buffet. Quality is just so-so as buffets go. read more

Went on Labor Day for almost 1,200 pesos per person, it was chaotic. They were not prepared for the large crowd. It was chaotic. I have to fall in line for 3 times before I can even get a couple of Tempura shrimps. They only serve few at a time. Same with the regular shrimps. I end up getting none. Every time I came back, there were non left. My sister in law tried 4 times to get a couple of shrimp dumplings. They have very limited selection of soups, only 2 at the time we were there. For that price we paid compared to the one we have in the US which is cheaper, I am disappointed. I've been at Vikings twice before . I think they are cutting their portions and their selections and intentionally bringing food at a slow pace to for more profits. Please spread the word, the price is not right for the food they serve. read more

The food selection is great even the variety of drinks. Definitely worth it. I would surely come back!

The thing about Vikings is you know you're spending for quantity but not necessarily quality. It is after all one of the largest buffets in Metro Manila, even counting the luxury buffets in the major hotels. The food is generally okay but taste still seems lacking in most of it. Take the ebi tempura in the Japanese section. It's always way too small or too covered in batter or too oily. Definitely fails in comparison to tempura from actual Japanese restaurants. The meats at the carving station are also always too tough or fatty, and could do with more flavor from their rubs or marinades. The various fried dishes in different cuisines all kind of just meld into each other in taste. Nothing really stands out overall as conversation-stopping delicious. But don't get me wrong! It's not like everything's totally bad, no. In fact it's great that the sushi there always has a big selection. The desserts too have a lot of choices. What I like best though are the drinks-- although it's not the smartest to fill up on drinks at a buffet, lol. It's just... Bottomless beer is pretty brilliant! Hahaha! Their juices are also yummy and offer good variety-- not just your usual iced tea, calamansi, or orange juice. What's great at Viking's is it's an unpretentious place to go for a buffet. It's very welcoming and accessible and you can really settle in here for a belly-busting lunch or dinner. Though it doesn't compare to the quality of dishes at Spiral, Heat, or even 7 Corners, it's the best "average" value-for-money buffet you can get. read more
