Vikings is one of the famous Eat-all-you can restaurant in the Metro Manila. It is located near SM Mall of Asia, that offers buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner.
This is actually one of the few eat-all-you can restaurant that I usually go. They have different types of food from chinese, japanese, grilled, and many more. I will discuss later about the different sections that Vikings have.
We were invited by my father's aunt, since it was her birthday. Since it was a Chinese tradition to wear red during a birthday celebration, so all of us are wearing red and we really stood out.
Enough about me, I will now tour you around Vikings :)
1st Stop: Entrance
Viking's personnel will welcome you and your guest with a smile, while asking you
if you have any reservation.
Yes! it's important to have a reservation, especially during Fridays, and Weekends. It is usually fully book, you have to wait for 1-2 hours before you can take a seat.
If you are lucky enough that one of the reservation slot has been cancelled, then keep in mind that other people are also with you falling in line to eat. So better be early.
Do reserve early, I recommend at least a week before your visit :)
You can call them through these numbers:
- 846-3888
- 846-4888
- 846-5888
- 0917-565-3888
Here is the schedule of their Lunch and Dinner Buffet:
- 11:00 am to 2:30 pm - Lunch
- 5:30 pm to 10:00 pm - Dinner
I know you are excited for the price of the buffet :) so here it is :)
The small note there below the 50% special discount:
"We don't charge corkage for any drinks brought in by our guests"
Please take note that all prices are inclusive of government tax, but still subject to 5% service charge.
Other thing that will concern you will be the place where your favorite food is located:

Something that is special here, is that you can ask them to cook a pasta for you.

2. Choose your Pasta: ( Spagetti, Fettucine, Penne)
3. Choose your Sauce: Tomato, Cream Sauce, or olive oil/butter
4. Choose your Condiments: garlic, onion, fresh basil, bacon, ham, tomatoes, mushrooms, olives, parmesan cheese.
As for their Pizza, they usually offer 2 kinds only. One would be the Vikings' Special and one could be a Pepperoni.

You can order for a grilled salmon, lapu-lapu, squid, etc. They will deliver it to your Table.

They will sing so loud so that other customers will hear it :) It's really funny to have this ;)
