Restoring my 4-star rating. Featuring the weekend lunch at my second most visited buffet restaurant in Cebu. Discover Viking Luxury Buffet. My brothers and I arrive exactly at opening time, so food stations had fresh and beautiful displays of their dishes, allowing me to take a lot of photos. I like buffets because food is ready as soon as you walk in, dozens of dishes to choose from, some stations cook or grill for you, a wide selection of fruits and desserts, beverage and coffee and beer are included, and most of all their staff is very friendly, polite and highly efficient. A must visit

2-star rating I deleted my original which I posted about a year ago to change my the 4-star rating. I probably visited this place like twice a month. Today, I came with my brother as a walk-in at opening which is at 11AM. When we were finally called to be seated, 15 minutes, after being listed, I asked if we can have booth #223, which is our favorite spot, my brother and I. The stern hostess, Shelly told us that the booth is already reserved. and were led to table #104 without even looking at her sheet. I was fine with table 104 until I found out my movement was restricted because right behind me was a small storage area for beer and high chairs for kids, which was often being used. Dining near a storage area spoiled by appetite. By 12:15PM, Booth 223 remained unoccupied. So I went to the front and looked for Shelly to complain. She as matter of factly told me the booth was already reserved for 12Noon, I told her we never had problems with getting booth 223 before as long as we get there by opening time, and besides why would she give us a table by the open storage area when there were a lot of other tables available? I took our time finishing our meal and left about 12:25PM and the table was still vacant. Everybody in this establishment from servers to the sushi station to the cashiers are very pleasant anc customer oriented. The host and that guy who led us to the table (whom we also requested a table change} need to change their "I am in charge here" attitude. I will still patronize Viking because of the other staffers who know what hospitality means, and it is close to where I live, but I hope they train their first in line hospitality people more.
