Niu by Vikings - Taguig

The restaurant has a nice and classy atmosphere overall. They offer a wide selection of food, from appetizers to desserts. I particularly enjoyed the steak station and the ice cream section, especially their Golden Langka ice cream, which was delicious. While this branch of Vikings may be more expensive than others, the quality of the food justifies the price. I'm happy that my parents chose to celebrate my 28th birthday here. We will definitely return to try more dishes that we couldn't fit in during this visit because we were already full.

I started with some salad, then moved on to sushi and sashimi. The seafood was fresh, although I wished they had smoked eel. The roast leg of lamb and roast beef were the highlights for me, cooked just how I like them. The crab, shrimp, and crayfish dishes were also delicious, but I was too full to enjoy them fully. I usually skip dessert, opting for wine instead. The restaurant serves imported and local beer, as well as a variety of spirits for cocktails. I stuck to South American red wine throughout the 3.5 hours we were there, which probably covered the cost of the buffet. We visited on a Saturday for dinner, and the price per person was just under PhP 1500, which was around USD 30 at the time. I got in for free since it was my birth month, so I definitely felt like I got my money's worth. Overall, a great dining experience.

This buffet restaurant offers upscale dishes like caviar and edible grass, but the service is average, similar to that of a regular buffet.

Visited NIU a few times in SM Aura. It is always good with a large selection for food (sushi, all types of meet, international dishes). The experience is always great and the kids love it as well!

Unless of course if its not peak hours.. We painfully my waited a loooooong time to be seated so our energy were wasted we hardly enjoyed the food.
