    Review #044 - 2019…read more We showed up around 4:30 PM and hung out at the pool area for about an hour, waiting for the buffet to open up. We ordered a few drinks and some enseymadas to snack on, which I was told they are known for at this place. I thought they were pretty good, but not wow'ed by it. We got both the mango and ube flavors, but I only got to try the ube so I can't comment on the mango flavor. My fresh young coconut juice was nicely cut so that you can drink it with a straw and then open the top to scoop out the coconut meat later, which I didn't get to enjoy. We ended up going into the buffet area around 5:30 PM because the house next door was burning some woods or something, but it smelled terrible so our eyes were watering. The buffet actually opens up at 6:30 PM so we just sat around and chatted until they opened up. Service was actually very friendly and accommodating. The food on the other hand was just ok. The seafood selection didn't seem too fresh, even though I was told that this place serves the best. My daughter really enjoyed the lechon, which I thought was kind of salty. Nothing really stood out for me, but I thought their dessert arrangement was very pretty. I tried the flan which was ok, but it wasn't as soft as I'm used to. The chocolate mousse was good though.

    My favorite buffet in town...love their sashimi they have wide array of dishes to choose…read morefrom...variety of dimsum to choose from, and taste good too. Make sure you save room for dessert coz' you definitely wouldn't want to let it pass. Perfect for family and even business dinners.

    Stayed at The Henry for 2 nights last month and this is the restaurant inside the hotel…read more Absolutely 5 stars all the way! But just a little background, I am into art and architecture so this review is largely influenced by that. Decor - Just like the hotel, the restaurant is downright artsy and eclectic, but yet not overwhelming. There is a perfect balance of whimsy and structure. Ambience - Ate very late dinner (think 11:30 pm), and two days of breakfast buffets that came with my reservations. Place was only 15% filled, so not crowded at all. I actually enjoyed the somewhat empty and silent feel. Menu - They have a good mix of appetizers, soup, sandwiches, pizza, pasta, main course, and dessert. I personally felt the pricing was adequate, with most items in the 300+ peso range, with the exception of some main courses. Food - Tried the adobo flakes, calamari, and surprise, surprise - the seafood pasta... (hint - Almost everywhere I've traveled to, seafood pasta is my go-to). ALL WERE DELICIOUS!!! For the breakfast, the selection consisted of typical Filipino full breakfast items, which honestly, I wanted and craved for: Fried garlic rice, corned beef, eggs, somekind of pasta, sausage (my kids ate and didn't like it), and my favorite - fried bangus. They had the typical breads and a waffle maker, fruit, and so on. Still enjoyed it. Service - They are friendly, and they checked to see how we were doing - something not normal in most restaurants in the PI. If I wasn't pressed for time, I wouldn't have mind eating here over and over again, but I was. However, I would love to come back to The Henry and definitely eat at Rica's again! It's probably one of the most enjoyable places I've ever been to!

    Staying at The Henry and this being the restaurant downstairs meant that I ate here a few times…read moreduring my stay. That and the fact that we are greedy folk who order more than what 2 people ordinarily would eat in a single seating means that I've had a good range of the menu. They start every meal with these long crackers and an addictive salsa. Not sure how chopped tomato, capsicum (peppers) and onion with olive oil can taste so good. Notable mentions must go to their forty chicken - very small but delicious chicken cooked with 40 cloves of garlic and butter. Oreo crepe and their frozen layered dessert were also very nice. All pastas ordered were al dente and very garlicky. You just like garlic if you go to Philippines! Attentive service, coffees were not bad, wines were cheap at 150 peso per glass. And of course, their interesting decor.

    Vikings is located inside SM City Mall Cebu on the second floor by Forever 21. We initially called…read moreto 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!

    If I could rate it zero stars that would still be to high…read more Was waiting a long time to visit this place but was so disappointed. Seating arrangements are horrible. Your sitting so close to everyone it's like your trapped like sardines. Then when you try to get up to go get some food it's so hard to maneuver. Then we get to the food. Half of the kettles or trays are sitting empty. It takes the staff way too long to replenish the food. Then the choices are limited and many are tasteless. When we got home my wife got very sick and ended up with stomach cramps all night long. Better to spend you money somewhere else. Avoid this place
