The best buffet that I’ve experienced so far — good food, friendly and accomodating chefs and staff members, relaxing ambiance — an overall package. Hopefully, the Eatigo deals would last longer! But, will definitely go back here soon. Thank you for the experience! 💯

It was just okay. When we got there, the seafood selection wasn’t as advertised. They didn’t have lobster or oysters, and the slipper lobsters they served tasted a bit fishy (malansa). The cheesy baked scallops also fell short—it tasted more like gravy than cheese. We didn’t go back for seafood and instead opted for other stations like steak and other dishes.

Ambiemce - 5 stars Food - 3 stars. no sashimi eventhough tons of videos show there was. was only informed that it was no longer being served during lunch. enjoyed free drinks and some seafood but everything else was just okay. Value for money - 4 stars. Eatigo discount was processed as it should be. Staff - 4.5 stars Will I pay for the full price (w/o Eatigo) - No.

Menu is quite limited but the Dampa-style seafood is the standout. If you’ve experienced Vikings NIU, this doesn’t quite measure up. Vikings NIU offers a far more impressive spread and overall experience.
