Sofitel's Spiral for me is still arguably the top choice for buffet. Quality of food and selection is always good. Be prepared to shell out at least P2,600+ per head though, unless you have a voucher or have their privilege card.

Recently tried Niu by Vikings (SM Aura) which is supposedly the "premier" version, and was rather disappointed. Food area was cramped, choices were the same old stuff. I had a better experience in Vikings SM Marikina.

Buffet 101 is a good alternative for Vikings, especially when they have cheap deals.

Yakimix is good choice if you're after a quick fix of unlimited sashimi. Other than the barbeque dishes, nothing really stands out.

Dad's used to have a reputation of giving occassional food poisoning, I don't know if it's still like that today.

Most other top hotels have good buffets, but selections may be a little limited and pricing isn't too friendly.

Well, no matter where you have your buffet, there's one common thing you'll notice: There's always people who's waiting to horde shrimp tempura and salmon sashimi, ready to box out potential "competitors".
