About This Place

Vikings Luxury Buffet at SM City Pampanga is a premier buffet restaurant that artfully combines an extensive selection of international and local dishes with a warm, inviting atmosphere perfect for family gatherings, celebrations, or casual dining experiences. Nestled in the Lower Ground Floor of the Global Fashion Wing, this culinary haven offers guests a chance to indulge in a diverse spread that caters to a wide range of palates.

From the moment you step inside, the vibrant ambiance is complemented by attentive and friendly staff who truly enhance the overall dining experience. Whether you're celebrating a birthday or simply craving a luxurious meal, Vikings ensures every guest feels welcomed and valued, as echoed by patrons who have praised the team’s genuine hospitality and thoughtful touches, such as personalized birthday serenades.

The menu at Vikings Luxury Buffet is an enticing journey through flavors and textures. Their salmon sashimi stands out with its freshness and delicate, buttery texture that sashimi lovers will appreciate — particularly noted by loyal customers who enjoyed multiple servings without any discomfort. The beef and steak offerings deliver tender, moist cuts that satisfy meat enthusiasts, though the roast beef has received mixed reviews regarding tenderness. Seafood aficionados will be thrilled by options like oysters and baked oysters, which boast a briny richness, while the paella carries the vibrant, comforting warmth of a Spanish classic.

Diners can also savor intriguing specialty dishes such as the creamy and aromatic laksa, the uniquely Filipino bringhe, and the indulgent lechon with mushroom sauce paired with curry rice, offering a flavorful balance between tradition and innovation. For lighter fare, the salad station is a highlight, brimming with crisp, fresh ingredients and complemented by a variety of dressings, bringing brightness and contrast to the meal. Sushi lovers can explore a small but well-curated collection of tamago, kani, sushi, and maki rolls, while the truffle pizza adds a gourmet touch with its earthy aroma and luscious melt of cheese.

Don't miss the sweet ending: the birthday cake and the unique avocado ice cream offer a refreshing finish that lingers delightfully on the palate. Every dish is not just food but an experience—whether it’s the smoky aroma of roasted meats or the delicate balance of Japanese sashimi.

While most guests relish their time at Vikings, a few have pointed out areas for improvement, such as air conditioning comfort and the consistency of certain meat cuts. Despite these, the overall consensus highlights a memorable dining experience rooted in excellent service, vast food variety, and a welcoming ambiance that keeps families and friends coming back.

For those seeking a broad culinary adventure in Pampanga, Vikings Luxury Buffet offers an impressive array of flavors and a lively dining atmosphere that shines with warmth and conviviality.

    Had fun with the family. Overall nice food selection and drinks. I’m a fan of a good salmon and steak, mostly i ate salmon sashimi, no stomachache which is good The steak is really nice, not the best cut of meat, but still tender and moist. Will definitely go back again Staffs are amazing. Only concern is the one giving the food, i came back 4 times to get a salmon sashimi, they thinly sliced it but the fifth time they gave me 5-7 pieces with almost an inch thick Good ice creams too

    I had a wonderful experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for both casual meals and special occasions. The staff were friendly, attentive, and genuinely made us feel welcome without being intrusive. The food was the real highlight. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor, clearly made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. From the appetizers to the main course, everything was cooked perfectly and well-balanced. The menu offered a great variety, with something to suit every taste. Service was efficient, and the wait time was just right. It’s clear that the team takes pride in what they do, and it shows in every detail. Overall, this restaurant exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for great food, excellent service, and a comfortable dining experience. I’ll definitely be coming back! And If you’re looking for a chef who delivers high-quality cuisine with heart and skill, Chef Leo is an excellent choice. Highly recommended!

    We had a lunch reservation and it was good. They have many food selections and the best section for me is their salad station. The only thing that i wanted to say for improvement is the aircon it’s not quite cold enough. Mainit sa loob.

    I enjoyed my time with my family. Thank you to the staff for the great service especially the ones who sang a birthday song for the celebrants and went to all tables. However, the food wasn’t really that good. We all lined up for the Roast Beef but was disappointed. We couldn’t even chew it properly. We expected a lot for the price and wanted to eat something expensive from their menu/offerings. The desserts were good though but that’s it. The fruits tasted bland. Hopefully there will be improvement on this and more options please. Overall, it was nice to eat in a buffet with the family. Paying 1k+ each pax though was too much for the quality of food they are offering. It was more on quantity over quality. Also didn’t appreciate the pressure to put a review on the spot with the staff looking at what you’ll write (both on Facebook and Google).

    A holiday getaway with friends and this was one of the best experience I had this May 01, 2025. Surrounded by a variety of food from different cuisines and all that, I most enjoyed the lamb chops, chuck eye and yogurt. However, the comfort room is not that clean maybe coz of the number of goers. But overall, it was a great place to eat and enjoy their food with staffs that enthusiastically attended to our needs.
