Buffet 101 is located at City Times Square across the street from Park Mall in Mandaue. Parking is limited if you want to park right up front of the restaurant. When you pull into City Times Square, head on over to the garage area pass Liv, take a right then another right and you'll arrive at Buffet 101's open air parking area. We made a reservation because we were a party of 16 and it was a Saturday for a 6 pm seating. We arrived and a receptionist seated us. It was a Saturday night and as expected, crowded. As the rest of the group was still situating themselves with seating arrangements I went ahead and browsed their offerings. In one end, they offered a variety of Asian-themed food. Sushi, Japanese omelette, tempura to live shrimp cooked to order and of course, Filipino dishes. They had different kinds of soups and even congee. The middle area consisted of a small salad bar, desserts, and beverages. For those who are wondering, they do have beer on tap. Not sure the brand though. They also had sangria (wine). On to the other end of the buffet. I frequented this area as they offered roast beef, chicken and pork. I was told they had lamb as well. They had mashed potatoes, a diy sandwhich area, pizza, and pasta to just name a few. After browsing I grabbed a plate. I started with the roast beef in medium and pizza. Later, I went for the mashed potatoes. Fyi: ask your server for the steak knife, if your in need of one. They also had a station for cook to order seafood. Staff: The waiters and waitresses were all very quick to please. Once you requested something a few moments later they would arrive with your requested item, promptly. Though at times you had to flag one of them down, it is to be expected at a buffet. The birthday singing at each birthday celebrant's table was absolutely entertaining. Cost: We did their birthday promo and there were a few in the group celebrating their birthday month. Paying adults are at 839 pesos each on a Saturday night. (Dinner seating) Their birthday promo allows the celebrant to complimentary dine given they had 3 paying adults in their group. Overall: Despite having to always hunt down in finding a plate for each go at the buffet, the overall experience at Buffet 101 was fantastic. I won't deny we came on a expectation that the service would be sub par, due to various other reviews mentioning this. However, we were delightly surprised that our first experience here was enjoyable. The food, especially the roast beef and grilled salmon, were delicious and seasoned just right. If Buffet 101 wasn't a ways from where we stay, I'd definitely visit again even if it isnt for a special occasion. No wifi. Free Parking. Restrooms were clean, but had an odor.

This is a super asian buffet. Its about the average size of a big Vegas buffet. For 799 pesos for dinner it's worth it. The seafood quality is really good. You can't get seafood any fresher. The live shrimp comes right out of the tank to pot or grill. So fresh so good! About 90% of the buffet items are international asian and the rest are westerner items. They also have self serve San Miguel beer on tap. That itself is worth it.
