What's better than walking into a buffet on a hungry tummy and seeing the long line of buffet tables all around tempting you? What's better than walking into a dining venue that boast a luxury hotel like ambience? Just like the other elegant buffet located second floor North Wing Sm, this place is also a stunner! with its premium food selections and premiere ambience, the place is definitely well worth good value for your money! The restaurant offers a wide choices or selection of their delectable offerings.Their food stations are organized according to the country they represent, asian, western cuisines and et al.They have a seafood station, bbq station, roast station, meat station, fruit station , veggies station, halo halo station, dimsum station, pizza station, finger foods bar, salad bar and pasta station. They also have station that offers different kinds of fresh, baked and confectionary desserts to choose from. They have a free flow drinking station that offers only 4 types of fresh juices in variety of flavors (Pomelo, lemon, Grapes and Iced tea) They also have fruit shakes, coffee, tea, draft beers and softdrinks. Surely your eyes can feast on various cuisines and you can select and eat as long as you can and leave the premises with a satisfied bloated stomach. The most soughtafter station was their meat carving station obviously because it is where u can get those prime ribs, roasted beef, roasted porkloin, roasted chicken, and salmon among others. I loved their roasted beef and porkloin! the texture, wetness, tenderness, juiciness was marvelous! but the one thing that hooked me up and the one thing that makes me wanna visit the place over and over was their crab! I dont know what kind of crab recipe was that but it looks like crab masala, only drier and it was not sweet. It was fried spicy crab with breading that was extremely delicious! it was superb!!! Anyways, here's my opinion between the 2 upscale buffet restaurant, I'll start with the interior. Well, both places looks luxurious, classy and elegant, it screams multiple star level! the only difference is the lighting tone because I think buffet 101's lighting tone is particularly warm and inviting. I dont know I just love the softer perfect glow of their light tone. Price comparison, well, buffet 101 is 89 to a hundred peso less so theres just a slight difference between the 2. As for the service, Buffet 101 fell short on this because it took time for them to refill their food. Vikings staff are far more friendly and accommodating than the staff in buffet 101. Both places are spacious but can be very fully packed. The food quality between Vikings and Buffet 101 are definitely great! they both have an exquisite delicious and delectable menu, both offers international cuisine which gives you a wide choices or selection of food though Vikings has a more extensive selections but I would still say the offer in buffet 101 are still too wide to satisfy your palate and still too much for you to consume. You can only wish you have enough room in your tummy!

The food was really good!I really liked the roast beef with the black pepper sauce, wow! Oh, I also loved their Beef Curry!!Their wide array of dessert sold me into theThe place was so big, that it can tire you into getting more food. The travel between your table and the foods are too far.But, overall it was a great dinner.

I almost swallowed a screw from the cover of their catering tray from their fried rice. Very iresponsible of them. Never went back ever since that happened.

Perosnal favorite in terms of All You Can Eat category. Why? Well, I do like their spread of cuisines. Also, that they have sangria in their drinks line up. That is gold for me.

I used to think that Vikings was the best buffet jn Cebu, but Buffet 101 certainly proved me wrong.In terms of food, there's a wider variery of selection at Buffet 101 and all of them are delicious. They have a lot of carbs, appetizers, Japanese food, Chinese food, Western dishes, drinks, and a dessert bar. They even have make-your-own pizza, sandwich, and halo halo stations. There are also chefs and staff servers who will gladly grill or cook your fish or seafood for you, sometimes even fresh from the tank!The ambiance is great, really a first class dining experience. The staff is also friendly, but some are less so (particularly the lady who took our reservation and the other one who billed us out). However, none of them were rude enough to ruin the experience for us.All in all, Buffet 101 is certainly worth trying and coming back to. I'll definitely be celebrating most of my holidays and birthdays here.

I would give it a 4 star. Was there for lunch and I liked it. There are 2 concerns, 1. The cooks seem to drag their feet when it comes to refilling and serving the more expensive dishes like carved roast and then they recook an almost perfect beef to an absolute tasteless piece. 2. Many plates and cups are broken and should be replaced.

Aside from their japanese spread (which I adore) there's not much to choose from in my opinion. Chinese station was limited. Overall I think there could be more opportunities to improve with the choices of food they have.

Went to the Cebu Branch today for lunch. The food was good for a buffet. However, I received an attitude from the waitress who directed me to a table (Jen or Katrina – not sure which one since I got served by two while I was there). When I asked if I could sit at a certain table, she just rudely pointed at another one and said ‘here’ and then went on to explain in a miserable tone that I will be charged if I leave any leftovers. I’m in no rush to return.

My partner and I love buffet meals so much and Buffet 101 has a lot of cuisines to offer. Space is so big. Can occupy a lot of people which is really nice! The only downside of this restaurant since there are a lot of people, their restroom isn’t at it’s best. It smells and sometimes their toilet bowls won’t work.
