Niu is SM Aura is a typical Viking buffet with the regular selection of foods covering a wide variety of cuisines.
At this location on a weekend, the buffet costs PHP 1,500 including alcoholic beverages and is somewhat n he expensive side, but then again with the selection it turns out to be money well spent.
Our group of 10 of all ages could each find something they enjoyed so that is a plus, however, the red meats were tough across the board, and a disappointment. Deserts were a little disappointing and in short supply.
All in all a nice family experience

We really liked the ambiance of the place. It was not noisy compared to other buffet places. There were a lot of food choices and good ones too. Waiters are always there to assist and they even suggest special menu/orders.
The only thing we didnt like was the toughness of their steak. But overall, the food was great.

For less than a thousand bucks, we were able to eat most of the food we’re craving for over lunch. The chuck eye steak and the stuffed lechon belly are definitely a must try. The beer and wine selection seemed decent. Service was also nice as Alfie was cordial enough to attend to our needs. And ambiance was hotel-like. Niu is definitely Vikings upgraded! :)

Went here to avail their birthday promo. The restaurant was running a Php938 promo so we were thinking that its either they have lesser menu options or it was a marketing offer to attract more customers due to the pandemic.
The interior is good, with chandelier and accent chairs to boot. You can use a scanner to fill out a health declaration form or you can also fill out the forms readily available at the reception.
Guests can walk to the stations and take a peek of what they'd like to order. One look at the food stations and you'd see some of them empty. This is supposed to the the upscale restaurant of the Vikings group but there was not fancy, elegant nor classy about it. The Exec Chef was there when we dined and she never accommodating. She had this look at her face as if she's managing your school canteen. There were a lot of things that we were looking forward to have but wasnt available for a Saturday evening dinner; lamb, oysters, prawns, yogurt, gelato. The tempura we ordered took almost an hour to arrive. I had to ask the staff atleast 3 times if sauteed prawns will be available to which she said its being cooked but never made it to the dishes offered. The seafood bisque was too salty. The blackened fish in beurre blanc was so so. The xiao long bao was cold. The beer fridge was never restocked. The charcuterie platter is agonizing to look at. The ice cream tastes cheap. The only saving grace on their menu is the lechon belly and the salmon sashimi.
Save yourself the time. Unless you are near the area and unless you are getting a deal. Or maybe once this pandemic is over, dont even bother dining here.

I am very unhappy with the service. A lot of our orders did not come and was only able to follow up after we have been presented the bill since NOT A SINGLE SOUL attended our table. None of the staff are accommodating and they all look unhappy with their jobs. The food also tastes very cheap, considering the amount they charge for buffet. Very few selection of buffet though there are very few good ones in the menu. I am not going to recommend this restaurant and I am not coming back again.

Food is great, as always. Never stepped out of NIU feeling unsatisfied. Yes, always in a food coma! Sir Alfie was very accommodating as well. It was the first time I experienced being served a delicious seafood dish even without asking for it. That was the highlight of our dining experience that night!

AMBIENCE
Being on the highest floor, I thought it was beneficial to help keep ourselves hungry and ready for their grand budget. I could say the same for the lengthy stretch of food and beverages when we started exploring their selection for the day. The restroom is at the very end. Normally, I'd prefer a table somewhere in the middle but the longer walks were still enjoyable.
FOOD
The highlights of what I've enjoyed were the meats, sashimi, hakaw, and ice-cream. Beef Ribs, Rib Eye, and Angus Beef Belly were soft and terrific with gravy. I didn't get to try the Leg of Lamb but the Angus Chuck Eye was a bit tough. Salmon and tuna sashimi were fresh. Hakaw was soft, very neatly wrapped, and didn't easily break apart. Avocado ice-cream was in-demand so I ended up with other flavors that were equally good. They also have bubblegum.
SERVICE
Used plates were collected promptly and sashimi plus shrimp tempura were refilled often. Restroom was also kept clean.

First time dining here and overall experience is great. There is a wide variety of food selection compared to other buffet restaurants and staff service is excellent. Special mention to Nald who catered to our every request. We would definitely dine again.

I visited with my wife on my birthday. The experience was annoying from the moment we stepped inside the huge space. The process of signing in, filling out a lengthy form on our phones just to be allowed in set the tone here. Lockdown rules had spoilt the vibe here. Onto the reason we went, the hyped food. The food on show had flavour in general and was fairly inventive, however, most of the offerings were cold, left sitting on hot plates that I presumed were turned off. When asked for rice to be heated up, it was met with, oh really attitude. Variety of food on show was poor and had already decided to leave within 10 minutes of arriving.Having to wear full face coverings to browse the meagre offerings added further annoyance. I visited Vikings in Davao a while back and that was way better. The atmosphere inside NIU was dead, and many people sitting around on their phones. This place really failed to deliver what they promised on the promotional videos. Also this place is huge, there's a lot of walking from one end to the other to view very little choice. We departed within 40 minutes. Couldn't wait to leave.

I’ve been going to Niu by Vikings in SM Aura since 2017 and I have never been disappointed by this restaurant. Even during the pandemic, their food is still top notch quality, along with their service. A dish I highly recommend is the foie gras- be sure to ask a server for it as it is not on display. That dish is SUCH a guilty pleasure for me. Speaking of servers, there is a young man named JC who made our dining experience so incredibly smooth. Despite the many faces that come through the restaurant, he recognises my friends and I whenever we come by.
Overall, I highly recommend Niu by Vikings. It’s my go-to buffet when I want to spoil myself with luxe dishes at an affordable price.

We've been to Niu at SM Aura a zillion times and usually it is okay, but the last few times we were there shows the quality going down considerably. I did not want to review until we tried it again. Today for lunch, we arrived early at 1115am but the food served was mostly cold. The blackened fish we usually like was super cold and not good. The tempura was off a pile and not hot. The salmon Sashimi was not fresh (although the Tuna was very fresh). The Lamb thst we usually like was atrocious. The list of disappointments just goes on and on. The different food stations often are unmanned (probably understaffed because of the pandemic), but the worse thing for us is the unfriendly attitude of the lady executive chef MJ (although she looks hardworking as she is always busy, but has zero people skills) compared to the previous Western and Chinese chefs in Niu. I usually gave it 4 stars. Hope they improve in the future.

We went to Niu at taguig sm aura to indulge for a bit because I think i deserve a treat after working so hard this past few weeks, Niu , as usual it didnt disappoint me, the food are great, there were many selections and most of which arent found in the usual vikings restaurants, especially the dessert, like in a normal vikings for example the halohalo do not have leche flan. but here there is a leche flan complete with ube. the service is top notch maybe bec its in the heart of bgc. The crew Alfie help serve us drinks that we not on the outside menu but was still part of what we paid for. Hopefully they continue this kind of service for as long as they are in business.
We left fully satisfied of our cravings but still cant wait to go back another day.

Visited with family for farewell lunch in January. Special treat from our uncle which we were so grateful. Very fancy buffet; we’ve never been to one like this before. So much selection - from sushi and sashimi; charcuterie; custom grilled fish that you select; Chinese dumplings; lechon and other grilled/roasted meats. Huge dessert selection including ice cream that would rival a standalone store. My favs? All you can drink wine and San Miguel and San Miguel Lite. But the dragon fruit gazpacho was really special. Great place for special occasions and service was attentive. Would definitely recommend.

Overall, NIU Taguig really made us feel very special on my Birthday! It was our first time dining here for us to celebrate my birthday, and surprisingly all the staff are really nice and very accommodating especially JC and Ace. They always ask if we want anything or we need anything and make sure that we are a having a great time during our dinner. The food were all amazing, it was really worth our money and we will definitely come back here! Thank you!!!
