Food was okay. Not the best but it was good. Just some of the staff felt like they don't want to help. We were waiting in line for the dessert, ice cream to be specific. At first, we're just 2 to 3 people, but the people kept coming and the girl who's in charge is taking her sweet time to fix things first. It didn't feel like she was seeing the number of people already waiting for her. Also, the line per station isn't that monitored. There were times, we were waiting in line but some people would just go directly and ignore the line. It just felt like the staff should control what's happening and inform everyone to be organized.

Just celebrated my sister’s and my birthday at Vikings Uptown today, and the food was absolutely exquisite. I loved the cozy vibe of the place, and the staff—especially Sir Chito—were very attentive and accommodating throughout our visit. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and excellent service!

They have variety of food options that I can be improved in the future. I was expecting they have more Thai or Vietnamese cuisine. The crew were polite and attentive during our time, adding a wonderful food experience. We like the taste of their angus beef. I like their salads, desserts and many drink options. The atmosphere is nice, they have a good live music (the singers were good) which adds good vibes. They also have a crew who goes around for those with birthdays and take their photos . Overall, a nice place for celebrations and reasonable price for buffet.

Had dinner at Vikings Uptown last night and the salad & fruit (antipasto) section really stood out, fresh greens, lots of toppings, cheeses, cold cuts, plus chilled, perfectly ripe fruits. A refreshing break from all the heavy dishes. The rest of the spread didn’t disappoint either. Seafood was fresh, the carving station was generous, and desserts were worth saving room for. Service was attentive too; plates were cleared quickly and staff were friendly even during the busy hours. Overall, a solid buffet experience with plenty to enjoy.
