If there’s one thing we Filipinos love, it’s unli food — lalo na kung sulit, masarap, at perfect for any celebration! Whether it’s a birthday, anniversary, family reunion, o biglaang food trip lang after a long week, buffets are always a good idea.
This 2025, I thought of rounding up our family’s favorite sulit buffets in Metro Manila — from the ones we keep going back to, to a few we’re still planning to try (soon!). So kung naghahanap ka ng next eat-all-you-can destination, here’s a guide to help you out!
1. Hao Wei Grill & Hot Pot – SM Fairview
Price: Around ₱699 per head
Perfect for fans of samgyup and hot pot! Hao Wei lets you enjoy both grill and shabu-shabu in one place. May wide selection of meats, seafood, broth options, sauces, and sides. Kids love it, and sulit for the price — lalo na with their loyalty card!

📍SM City Fairview, Quezon City
2. Vikings Luxury Buffet – Multiple Branches
Price: ₱988–₱1,200 depending on branch and time
The OG buffet that feels like a feast fit for royalty. With sushi, carving station, Filipino favorites, dessert bar, and even wine (sa iba), you’ll surely leave full and happy. They also offer birthday promos — may pa-song pa! 🎉

📍MOA, SM North, Megamall, and more
3. Four Seasons Hot Pot City – MOA / Cubao
Price: ₱888–₱1,088
If you’re all about hot pot and customizable soup bases, Four Seasons is a win! They’ve got fresh seafood, veggies, meats, and a salad and dessert bar to complete the experience.

📍SM Mall of Asia, Manhattan Parkview Cubao
4. Samgyupsalamat – Various Branches
Price: ₱499–₱599
Still one of the most sulit unli-Korean BBQ spots. Their side dishes and dipping sauces give that legit Korean feel without hurting your wallet. Plus, madaming branches kaya very accessible!

📍Nationwide
5. Buffet 101 – Glorietta / MOA
Price: ₱888–₱1,088
Big selection of Asian and Western dishes, lots of seafood, and desserts. Very similar to Vikings but slightly more laid-back. Sulit pa rin, especially if you’re with picky eaters — maraming options for everyone.
✅ Best for: Mixed-age group dining
📍Glorietta 2, SM MOA
6. Tong Yang Plus – Various Malls
Price: ₱788–₱988
Hot pot and grill with a generous buffet lineup. We love the balance of Asian flavors and the interactive dining. Great for rainy days!

📍SM Megamall, SM North, SM Southmall, etc.
7. The Alley by Vikings – BGC / UP Town Center
Price: ₱988–₱1,188
A trendy take on the buffet with food “stalls” offering international street food faves. It’s a more playful, casual vibe — great for Gen Z foodies and families with teens.
✅ Best for: Instagrammable celebrations
📍BGC and UP Town Center
8. Sambokojin – SM Megamall / West Avenue
Price: ₱699–₱899
Yakiniku and Japanese-Korean buffet in one. May sukiyaki, tempura, gyoza, sushi, and of course — unli meat! It feels more chill than Vikings but just as satisfying.
✅ Best for: Japanese food fans
📍SM Megamall, EDSA West Ave
