I had eaten here several times before, and it was awesome. It had been about 8 months since I last went, so we decided to go again. This place has become so horrible. They charge you $20 per person, but the quality of the food is something you would find at a $5 buffet. The food was dried out, tasted like it had been sitting out all day. It was so disgusting that I could barely eat anything. Once I came on here and saw all the recent 1 star reviews I was shocked, but I couldn’t agree with them more. This place established there name and price, but now they think they can serve garbage food at the same price. I will never go here again.

Food was cold on the buffet. When I got my water refilled it tasted like bleach!! I kindly asked the waitress that there must have been a mistake. She changed it out but then ten minutes later she refilled my wife’s glass and it tasted like straight bleach. My wife gagged and went to the restroom. There is a good reason there was no one there at dinner time. They are getting more expensive, 17.99 a piece. Less people are there so the food sits on the buffet all day. The service is slipping. We told them directly we will not be going there again. Too much great food in Tampa to waste my time and money here.

This place used to be great. The last two times we went (March 2012 and March 2013) were terrible. The food was subpar. The sushi is mostly rice and a tiny sliver of fish. The sushi was old and dried out; it had obviously been sitting out or reused. The other hot food was fair at best. All this for $17.99 a plate. I actually tried to find a manager during my visit to complain about the terrible food, but none was around.
For this price, there are much better places around tampa.
Others who rated Crazy Buffet as great must not eat sushi very often.
The wait staff was prompt and courteous. That was the one good note of the visit.
I will not be returning. Save your money for a better place.
EDIT: It took me 16 days and four phone calls, but I finally got a hold of a manager. They know about the problem. She said that they will be changing owners in June. It seems like the current owners are just running on empty for now until the business changes hands. She offered to have me come back and try the dinner again. I am awaiting coupons in the mail. I am very pessimistic they will show up.

DID NOT ENJOY THIS BUFFET AT ALL! Not worth the $15.99 per person. The sushi was not fresh at all, made me sick actually. Plus the guy making the sushi was giving me attitude because I was asking him about some of the sushi and what kind of fish is inside, he really didn’t want to answer my quesitons and even at one point told me he didn’t know and just walked away. SO RUDE! I would not recommend this place, there are other buffets that are much better for less cost than this place.

This is the worst restaurant everrrrrrrr! Save your money and yourself from a terrible food and go to another restaurant. Honestly, I don’t even know how they are still on business. I went there with my husband, and we went to the sushi buffet, everything looked terrible, and even the hot rolls were cold and ugly. Against all of my instincts, I decided to give it a try… Bad choice, when I putted the sushi on my mouth I had to stop myself to not vomit it all right there on the table. It was DISGUSTING. My husband even tried to eat, because he is one of those guys that hates trowing food away, but even HE couldn’t. That is how bad it was. And we still paid 25 dollars each!!!!!!!!!Plus the service is really bad, I had a cup of water that never got filled up. I honestly wouldn’t recommed this restaurant to a enemy!!!!!! Needless to say, we WILL NOT BE GOING BACK. And you shouldn’t too!!!!!

I thought I didn’t like sushi, until I went there. The selection of dishes is pretty good and the chocolate fountain tops it all off nicely. Little loud this past weekend because of a family with lots of kids but we still had a good meal and after they left it was perfect.

Sushi is not that good. Most of the rolls don’t even have fish in them. The chocolate fountain is cold not even heated. The peanut chicken is completely fried and has no chicken at all. They also give you very few crab legs and a lady how to complain just to get some because they were not bringing anymore out. The waiters and waitresses take forever to take your plates away and you have to go find them to get your bill.

We went here today after visiting Lowery park zoo. It was my husbands birthday so he got to eat for free. (not including drink) I was a bit hesitant after reading the reviews on Google. But to my surprise the place was very nice looking inside and the buffet was wonderful. The sushi section alone is reason enough to go. They also have a habatc hi grill to grill steaks to order. I would totally go again.

This used to be a 5-star restaurant that we ate at regularly. Lots of high quality and lots of variety. Very disappointed yesterday. dried out old sushi and sashimi, visibly dried out fish, still on the buffet. On the hot side, sure some good stuff, love the Singapore noodles, but cannot find a vegetable to eat there.
Definitely not that great anymore for $20/plate. they need to step up tthe quality….I am not going back

Nope, do not go here. When this place first opened it was great and almost worth the money, but I had not been back probably in a year or so and went tonight and it was the worst experience ever. Not only was the food horrible but the service and the cleanliness was bad. I feel like I was robbed by paying $20 per person on such horrible food/service. We only had one server taking care of a whole room probably full of 10-15 tables….so our finished plates were not getting picked up and our drinks were not getting filled in a timely manner…ON top of all that, they are tacky, they had signs all over things in the place “FOR SALE” I kid you not, there were signs on tables and vases all over the place. Ummmm are you going out of business?!? Well if so that makes sense….
