I had the chance to try out the new Vikings buffet restaurant called Niu at the SM Aura Premier last weekend with my best friend. First impression was the place looks more luxurious than the original Vikings Buffet Restaurant in Seaside Blvd. near SM Mall of Asia.
And the elegant appearance of the place didn't disappoint. There were more food selections than in other Vikings Restaurant even that in SM Mall of Asia. The quality of the ingredients in the food is better than the usual buffet places in the metro, even better than most hotel buffet restaurants that I've gone to. Their sushi selections are top notch, particularly their Spider rolls. One thing to remember is to order the steak medium rare since I noticed that they tend to overcook them; we ordered ours medium well, but ended up having well done steaks. Other than that, overall rating of the restaurant is very good and will be coming back there for sure in the future.
