One would usually think of going outside the city to eat in a buffet restaurant and that would usually entail a lengthy travel from Valenzuela. Thus, when a new buffet restaurant opened at SM, One Valenzuela was very glad that residents no longer need to be stressed out in traffic to have that sumptuous eat-all-you-can dining affair with family and friends. If you are a frequent visitor of SM in Karuhatan, you might have probably seen Bossing's Buffet located at the second level of the mall. Come to think of it, since it is within the city, you can spend more time eating (rather than be stuck in heavy traffic!) and save on your travel expenses as well.

Bossing's Buffet in SM Center Valenzuela is the second branch of
Bossing's Grill, a popular Filipino buffet restaurant (from the known restaurateurs Larry Cortez and Executive Chef Mau Arjona), in Ali Mall, Cubao. A group of Valenzuelanos, composed of a director, an accountant, teachers, and supervisors, pooled their resources to bring Bossing's Buffet in the city. One Valenzuela and her good friend Jane Frades were able to talk with Dr. Ummie Barberan, President and General Manager of Bossing's Buffet, during their visit on a fine Monday evening. Upon learning the story of how the restaurant was established, both of them were clearly inspired with the efforts and perseverance that these Valenzuelanos have to put in to give that good buffet experience to Valenzuelanos and all buffet lovers.
With the price of Php326.00 (Php299.00 + 10% service charge) per person, eating at Bossing's Buffet won't break the bank.

Yes, you can eat at Bossing's even during merienda time, unlike other buffets which are usually closed within the mentioned period. On a related note, Dr. Ummie said that they keep the food fresh and change the spread in less than three hours. By following this rule strictly as well as other cleanliness policies, the Department of Health gave the "Excellent" rating to Bossing's Buffet for maintaining its sanitation standard.
