Editorial Review for Crazy Buffet – by Eric Vician
The Scene
Forget everything you ever thought you knew about buffet lines. This 350-seat Japanese-theme eatery is quickly becoming a craze throughout Florida and the Carolinas. The dining rooms are partitioned into intimate sections, some with televisions tuned to the game and some reserved for smoking. It's quite an avante garde concept that includes live music and a full bar.
The Food
You pick one meat item to go with your stir-fry for starters and the rest is unlimited. Visit the chefs at the hibachi grill, where your food is cooked to order. Then hit the buffet which includes all the pertinent items plus steak, sushi and seafood (on the weekend). It's tough to complain about all you can eat snow crab legs, tuna, salmon, eel, oysters, fish, shrimp, crawfish, mussels , scallops and more. The only thing it could use is a larger dessert selection.

I haven't yet tried this restaurant, but...I'm already a bit apprehensive. I just called to make a reservation (since it's Friday) and was told that they only take reservations for parties of 8 or more. Frankly, this is a stupid policy (only slightly better than not taking reservations at all), and is disrespectful to the customer. It's like telling someone "your time isn't important to me". The slightly manic-sounding woman on the phone wasn't particularly courteous or pleasant, either. We'll see how it goes...

For such an expensive place there are too many tip jars all over the place for my taste. There are tip jars on the Sushi bar, on the grill, almost everywhere you can get food, there is a tip jar.
