The was a wide array of choices on the menu and we enjoyed a sumptuous meal. There's western, Chinese, Japanese, seafood, drinks both hot and cold, wine of course and dessert. I ordered white wine to go with my seafood. It's good to see the various dishes properly marked or tagged, a big help to those who have food allergy or restrictions. At the entrance, health protocols were carried out and our vaccination cards were checked. We were led to a table that originally sits 6 guests, there are three of us by the way. So yes, the staff made sure that the rules are followed. The decor and interior of the restaurant were impressive.Comfortabke couches, huge chandeliers, mirrors, clean walls, and a piano sits in the center of this huge dining restaurant. Even the Interior of the restrooms have some decoration, in a corner of the powder room, there is a sofa where you can sit and relax a bit . The cutlery and dining ware were clean. Courteous and attentive staff greeted us and those who manned the food sections were helpful. Oh the big plus, they ask you if anyone in your party is celebrating a birthday , it's free of charge for the celebrant when you go there during your birth month. I highly recommend NIU BY VIKINGS.

Niu is the high end version of Vikings, we have been to Vikings SM Marikina so many times more than 7 years ago and once in Vikings SM Megamall last year. This is our 2nd time here in Niu at SM Aura, the first was like 5 years ago and it was a pleasant dining experience. On our 2nd time, we were dissapointed because we can compare it with our 1st time here, lesser food options, food looks appetizing but not all taste good. Lesser quality on Steaks. They have a Grill Station where you can find a big fish on display but when I asked the staff, she told me it's only for display, not even a single seafood available for grilling, there was only chicken liver and pork belly for grilling. The Oyster was baked. We came for dinner at 5:30pm and we had a reservation, there was a long line, quite confusing because there was no clear note where to line up even if you have reservations. It was all mixed up. They told us to still line up even if we have a reservation. Still it's best to make a reservation. Niu is open for lunch from 11:00 am to 2:30 pm. Dinner is from 5:30 pm to 10:00 pm but I have to warn you, as you can see in some of my pictures of food in the buffet, they don't replenish all, by 8:00pm there were many empty spots in the buffet table. Even if the buffet ends by 10:00pm if you arrive late like 8:00 pm expect to get lesser options. Weekday Lunch cost 988+ Weekday Dinner cost 1,488+ and Kids below 3ft. Eat for Free. Weekend/ Holidays Lunch & Dinner cost 1,488+ . Promos are available, you can check them in their website. Because of the quality of food and lesser options now, I consider it pricey. Restrooms are available inside. It's located in SM Aura, they have elevators, escalators and 3 levels basement parking.

First of all, the interior looks fancy. But it stops there. Roast Beef is not soft to eat. It was hard and chewy. They serve Lechon Belly without Lechon SAUCE? Who does that? Any Filipino with common sense always serves Lechon Belly with it’s sauce. I requested Pomodoro, then after 20 mins of waiting… the portion of my Pomodoro is for 5 years old. I asked my bacons to be crispy, there’s hardly any bacon in it. What is the use of buffets if they can’t spoil their customers with the amount of serving they want. Who does the Pomodoro very oily either? You can buy spaghetti outside this mall and it would taste the same! Hahaha. They only have Caesar Salad to offer and you pay for a buffet??? No thousand island dressings and other veggies to dig in. If anyone’s skeptic enough, their utensils are very dirty. Per picture, it shows how dirty the glass is with the dessert inside it. Wasn’t this checked in the kitchen before they even serve it?? Plus, there’s no supervisor walking around checking on people if they have served them good. If there’s any improvement they can make. No one. Hardly no one. Just staff wanting to take your plates to clean it up but don’t bother asking if you need anything. Amazing isn’t it?? I’ve tried many buffets around Manila, but this one is the worst. You can just simply look at the utensils, then it says a lot. For 11K, this is not enough. Good thing they didn’t charge us for leftovers. Because if they did, the complaint will be bigtime. Disappointing!!

The lady behind the reservation counter didn’t seem to want to accommodate us when we said we’re here for our Eatigo reservation, she just shrugged us off and told us to wait in the chairs infront then chatted with her workmates in all smiles. The we were then attended by another staff who assisted us to our seats, who had better attitude. The food was, how do I say this, really downgraded from the last time we dined at Niu. Most, if not all, were no longer warm, the savory dishes were bland, the roast beef that I requested to be served medium was served well done, the wonton noodle soup had little no no taste, the fishes were so salty, the pizzas were greasy, the steamed dumplings were soggy, the sushis were salty - just so many bad things. And one more thing, the sink in their restroom DIDN’T HAVE RUNNING WATER. There was not one staff nearby to assist us, like they were purposely hiding from guests to avoid being asked for help. The temperature in the seated section was also leaning more to a warmer side, like what are they thinking? We will NEVER go back here. We paid less than the regular lunch rate thru Eatigo, but we still felt ripped off. That’s how bad the overall experience was. Do not go here.

We chose NIU brand not Vikings for our family Christmas gathering. They require fully vaccinated guests with QR code before entering. Since we came almost 11am, there's Infux of people at the entrance doorway. Nobody checked my vax card details. But they are strict with QR code, for contact tracing purposes. My phone has data however poor connection in that area. I asked for manual option (Wala daw), I said "my device is inefficient ,paano? Gutom na ako gusto ko na mag buffet" . I spoke to the head ,Irene, I said please provide analog or manual deviation of this contact tracing nonsense QR code, what about the non techy like me, or my senior friends who want to just enjoy buffet not hassle. Food choices okay and tasty. The edge part of carving choices (lechon,roast beef etc) are tough, you need to specifically tell the chef to slice for you the middle part. Or else they have no idea. No Pepsi,coke - only sprite,mountain dew,root beer for selection of softdrinks. I saw my husband sipping red wine, Tempranillo daw Ang brand. I had a toilet break around 2:30pm, the floor is sticky and wet. Not maintained by cleaner. This is NIU review ,again we came for the brand NIU not Vikings. Manage your expectations 😉.

Thier top of the line branch for this brand and group of restaurants. A personal customer service experience will be given to you. Luckily we we're taken good care of one of the managers "Jocelyn" all throughout our dining experience and it was very satisfactory and pleasant gastronomically. Even during MECQ, they have the most number of buffet offerings with great selections from appetizers, salads, japanese, chinese, italian, filipino, spanish, meat carvings (for those who are into carnivorous mode, dig this one!), to desserts. A well balance choices that can cater to your likings and taste buds. Drinks are unlimited too as well as red and white wines. Cocktails with four variants is also included in thier buffet rate so your indulgence is highly encouraged. Place is kept tranquil and neat as they followed proper health protocol guidelines with assigned restaurant manager level handling receptions, table seating arrangements, assisting when ordering at thier buffet stations alike separately. Excellent food but thier customer service is outstanding from managers to thier waiters. Recommend this one. This is Legit in my book. Kindly give a LIKE 👍 if this helps!
