On our way back from Lake Okeechobee, we decided to consult yelp for dinner plans in the WPB area. I narrowed it down to Carving Station or Crazy. I had real high hopes for this one... I guess that is part of the reason I only gave it 2 stars. I guess the most helpful thing that I can say at this point is this: If you live in Dade or Broward and are considering whether or not this is worth the drive, it isn't. The food is on par with that of Makino's or Kyojin. If you are familiar with either of those places, this review is done. If you want to know more particulars, read on... Crazy Buffet does have the absolute best ambiance of any Asian All U Can Eat Buffet I that I have ever been. You are greeted by a spectacular entrance whose centerpiece are live coy ponds. Inside, they have a nice selection of Sushi and Sashimi, as well as a selection of cold and hot foods. They even have a chocolate fountain. There is a roll with gator meat in it! It was kind of a let down and yes, it did taste like chicken. There was some HUGE frogs legs that looked absolutely delicious. It wasn't, but the salt and pepper shrimp was very good. This was the only buffet I have been that has Octopus sashimi. The service was pretty attentive and kept drinks full throughout the meal. Two oversights by the waitstaff was the lack of a crab cracker and napkins. Not a big deal having to ask but it's impressive when you don't. To conclude, the food didn't quite live up to the price but the ambiance and the service almost made up for it. read more

Food isn't as good as what it use to be. Have been a regular for a decade. I actually found a strand of hair in the fruit bowl and had to tell the manager. The manager said he dumped the fruit and put new fruit out. My family comes for the lobster - but even that is a hit or miss. You also have to be quick or else you'll miss out on the lobster read more

I go for my daily pick up for my sushi rolls! Love them there! Very affordable also! Definitely recommend.

Visited this restaurant on a Sunday lunch and was extremely disappointed. The selection was somewhat limited. Most of the food was cold and tasteless. The best item I had was the peel and eat shrimps. As for the sushi, I did sample any so I can't comment on that. Overall a two star for me and I won't be returning. read more

Here's the short verdict Atmosphere: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Sushi: 3-3.5/5 Seafood: 4/5 Buffet items: 3/5 Desserts: 4/5 Drink selection: 5/5 This Japanese Sushi buffet is run by the Chinese. However they're really good at it. For an all you can eat buffet, this is about as good as you can get. I was pretty surprised by how good some of the food was. I wish the tempura was crispier but I already know that doesn't stay crispy for long. The seafood is pretty good, some of it is average and some of it is really fresh. The service is outstanding. They will take good care of you. And the restaurant is very clean and well decorated. For $20 it's not a bad deal at all. read more

i give this buffet a zero star rating the food was undercooked and the staff was extremely rude! we only ate 1 plate each and got charged $112.. FOOD WAS AWFUL read more

For $20 this buffet truy is crazy because you get all you can eat lobster, crab legs, clams, mussels, shrimp, sushi, sashimi and everything else! I'm sure the quality may be a little hit and miss but for us everything was very good on a Saturday night visit. Great experience and highly recommended, especially for seafood lovers! read more

Was pretty good for the price. Place was clean and nice. The selection of food good and seamed to be pretty fresh. Would recommend

Too expensive for what it is... I have eaten in better Asian buffet restaurants in South Florida than this one, and cheaper.

The Sushi Display and Assortment, Variety, Freshness, is Amazing. We arrived there on Friday around 5:00 pm, seated immediately, and the food was top notch. I was disappointed because I was told by a co-worker that they also have lobster, which they did not. However, they had plenty of snow crabs, shrimp, and many of my favorites. For the extra few dollars, it's worth it. The Best Chinese/Thai/Asian Buffet that I've been too. read more

Recently visited Crazy Buffet with the wifey and her family, we all agreed that this is a very good buffet with a very great selection of food and very friendly service. highly recommended! read more

Waitress was super rude towards me when she didn't like the tip my dad left her. She put the receipt to my face and everything. I'm a very shy person so it made me very embarrassed to be there and I'm never coming back. read more

Decided to visit again and I had a much better experience. Food was a satisfying temperature and tasted great! There was an issue with flies, but several staff were dealing with the situation while we were there. I have been to many restaurants where there were flies and nothing was being done about it. By the time we left, the flies were gone. Phenomenal improvement since my last visit. I'm hoping that my next visit will be a 5 star! read more

Excellent buffet for the avid sushi lover that also features great options for those who prefer the more traditional Chinese menu. Hibachi is also very nice! read more

This is a great place if you like sushi and Chinese food which they deliver in mass quantities. It's all help-yourself and, for a buffet, the service is quite attentive. If you go home hungry from Crazy Buffet, that's on you. The price is right at $20 bucks. There is one disappointment and that's the actual salad portion of the salad bar. They used to have a nice selection of leafy greens and salad toppings. Today they had they had a tray of anemic looking iceberg lettuce that looked pale and droopy and the only thing to put on it were olives. What a perplexing oversight for a buffet that is otherwise not bad, especially if you're in a hurry. I would certainly go back but my wife isn't a seafood fan and there's no salad bar for her. Disappointing. read more

Don't eat here. They had 40 restaurant violations including live roaches From WPTV: Crazy Buffet was ordered to close its doors on Aug. 8 after a state inspection found more than 40 violations, including six that were high priority. read more

Asian waitress always ask for tips before charging and super rude. After this encounter I felt really discouraged to tip so I didn't and the lady kept asking for tip and shoving the receipt in my face screaming. I don't recommend this place! -10/10 TIPS ARE NOT MANDATORY!!!! read more

I love coming here 10/10. Service is excellent, environment is everything. Foood AMAZING.

i just recently moved to FL from CA a few months ago and to be honest, I feel that it is probably the best bang for your buck Asian food. The sushi surprisingly is the best I've tried in the area. There's a big variety of rolls. The cajun station is DELICIOUS. And there's medium steak as well as lobster. Not to mention a chocolate fountain for dessert. Highly recommend if you're looking to satisfy an asian food craving! read more

Food was ok. I wish the back of the restaurant didnt smell like a wet moldy basement it completely messed up the experience. Hopefully some attention can be made to this place and not put anyone's health at risk. read more

They should consider cleaning the damn carpet in here it stinky. They should have more foods on days that they know will be busy. Other than that it's was fine. I came here with family's. Don't get started with the restroom. Nasty! read more

Overpriced $14 buffet with imitation crab meat and a poor hibachi grill cook, they will short serve you from the buffet if you let them as well...since COVID they are serving customers food from buffet, food is no better than a average Asian restaurant, but nice atmosphere gets a second star read more

Was turned away at 3:30 when they said they were still open. Website said turnover wasn't 'till 3:45.

Very fresh Japanese style Buffet. Very large selection of fresh sushi and sashimi specialties. Excellent fresh selection of raw bar items. Large variety of Cooked Chinese staples as well as American Selection. Good desert options. Very attentive and pleasant staff. Most importantly the price was Crazy Cheap for Dinner. Highly recommend you go with a hardy appetite. Save room for the delicious green tea ice cream. read more

I have been to Crazy Buffett for nearly 20 years. Their AYCE sushi is so worth it. Very good.

Absolutely loved this! My husband recommended this sushi place and I could not believe the selection. All my favs were there- white tuna, salmon, mackerel, and octopus sashimi style. Many many rolls that were delicious! Seriously the best sushi buffet I've been to! Besides sushi, this place offered typical buffet foods you would find at a Chinese restaurant. The fresh fruit bar offered excellent choices including lychee.. so good! I was so impressed with the cleanliness, the choices, and the availability of quality fish. This place is like no other and it's a must try! It will be on my restaurant highlights list for my next visit in West Palm Beach. read more

Excellent. The selection is amazing and the seafood ... especially all the shrimp selections were glorious. I hadn't been to a buffet in 25 years. This was really good read more

This is a good spot for a lot of just alright food. The price is fair for amount of offerings, it's just the quality in the buffet that is lacking but that can always be improved read more

HEALTH VIOLATIONS ! BEWARE !! almost exactly one year ago this was in the Palm Beach Post : Crazy Buffet in West Palm Beach was shut down TWICE IN THE SAME DAY last week by STATE INSPECTORS who initially cited it for 41 violations, including live and dead roaches and potentially hazardous food temperatures. State inspectors required the restaurant at 2030 Palm Beach Lakes Blvd. to temporarily close two times on Tuesday, Aug 8 (2017) . The violations were : LIVE ROACHES observed at the cold self-serve station cooler AND the hibachi grill . MORE : accumulation of a black/green mold-like substance in the ice machine's interior .. and accumulation of food debris and grease inside plastic food storage containers.. server/employee practices of where they dump food/how they handle .. of course they will TELL YOU "its all been taken care of" .. but what I witnessed (LIVE ROACHES) on a visit recently (August 2018) speaks volumes otherwise .. the manager (JESS?) yelled at us about something which only changed the subject. he doesn't seem to care ! BEWARE ! Eat at Your Own Risk ! read more

hair in food. no apology nothing. skinny man rude. 15dollars for lunch not worth the money. yuk

On the surface, this is a nice stylish buffet with fresh looking food. But when you look closer it's the important details that are lacking. All the food was lukewarm to cool Because even though the stylish plates they sat on under the lamps look nice, they cannot keep food as warm as the metal pans that sit down in the steam table. The sweet-and-sour and chicken and broccoli were undercooked. The bathroom was hot and humid and the stalls are filthy. The selection of sushi looked nice and even though I stay away from Sushi at a buffet if the rest of the experience with the food was better I would have tried it. I won't be coming back. read more

Greasy food, food was cold most of the time, nobody at the hibachi table, overpriced for what it is and to top it off, very unfriendly staff. read more

I gave up on Chinese buffet's a long time ago. Frankly, I get very nervous when you can offer me an abundance of food, at $10 bucks a setting....hence the reason, I have probably given up on most buffets that dont have a higher price point. I really have to believe that there is something missing....like ummmm...idk....meat? Yes, I do believe that at one point in my life I have eaten dog, kat or possum from one of these fine establishments....so I took a pass on Chinese buffets for a long time (read- since my overly intoxicated nights in college). But when my cousin suggested that we go to lunch at Crazy, I thought he was crazy for the suggestion. However, as a fellow "eater", I had to respect his palate, typically its right on point. When you enter Crazy there is a "fish pond" that sits at the entrance...."snazzy", I thought. We were seated promptly in the midst of the lunch rush, and immediately got our drink order taken and we were off to the races. Surprisingly I absolutely loved the variety....aside from seeing the usual (general tsao chicken, beef & brocolli etc), there were other menu items that I really loved (read porkchops!)... The food was very fresh, and the quality was impressive. I was actually really enjoying my meal. We had a very small snag when the waitress told me that she charged for every glass of sweet tea (or coke I couldnt remember), and my mind briefly went blank in anger because she didnt tell me this prior to ordering. She quickly cleared it up with a manager and took it off the bill...so she passed:) Good buffet, good price point....Crazy Buffet was crazy enough to restore my belief in the Chinese buffet. read more

Love coming here although a little sad the owner doesn't care about how clean the environment is. Some freshly cleaned up windows and ripping that carpet out would be a great difference. I would rate this restaurant higher if I could but simple as it the place needs cleaned up and maintained. read more

My inner fat kid freaking LOVES this place, and my outer fat kid... well, I kind of felt like Alex in Grandma's Boy when he goes through his grandma's fridge-- "I don't know what you are, but I'll f*ckin' eat you too!" As far as Chinese buffets go, this place is great. The place is always full, so the staff is always replacing the dishes with freshly-cooked (or newly-opened, be it as it may) platters. To me, seeing food that sits out for hours-- blah. Even on Christmas, this place was great! But back to the buffet-- I am fulfilling my innermost fat kid desires, loading up my plate with food and then I walk around the corner and see SUSHI! OMG YES! But wait-- round 2. Oh hell... I'll throw one of you on here. And maybe you too... Yeah, that's basically my mentality at this place. Like I said... Alex in Grandma's Boy. And if it's not tasty, no big deal. Don't eat the next one on your plate if you grabbed more than one. It's pretty standard buffet with a ton of perks like desserts and seafood, plus sushi. The main difference between this place and a few others I've been is that the food actually tastes good and the service is good. I really enjoyed it and will be back. read more

I"m updating this May, 2012. They must have sold the place because the last few times I went, it has not been that good. Just sayin' _______________________________________ Original post 2009 Best Chinese buffet I have been to. Unbelievable sushi bar...it must be fifty feet long and the sushi, because they sell so much of it, is fresh. I actually had a piece of tuna offer me $5.00 if I would take it to the nearest beach and place it back in the ocean....so I ate it. In addition to the screaming fish, they have a Korean wok station, a Peking duck section, crab legs galore, and rows and rows of Chinese delicacies. This puts all the other Chinese buffet places to shame. read more

I liked this buffet... the food i tried was delicious, good savors, no tasteless , no salty, I think it was delicious delicious...the best buffet I tried read more

If this were the early 2000's I would have given 5 stars. It's just not the experience it used to be but it's still not bad. It seems that ownership has changed several times since the heyday and it's now cheaper. When it was a top notch buffet, weekend dinner was over $22 at peak price if memory serves correctly. Now it's 19.99. Back in the golden years of Crazy Buffet you would find romaine lettuce, Parmesan cheese, bacon pieces and olive oil at the salad bar. Now what you get is some standard iceberg and cucumbers with tomatoes and dressing. There are pre-made specialty salads in that area (none appealed to me) but your options for tailoring your own are very limited. There is peel and eat shrimp and raw oysters. I think the best time to go is during weekend dinner when there are many different types of shrimp dishes available, plus crab legs and lobster tails in a ginger sauce. The lobster unfortunately doesn't last long and they take awhile to replenish it. I have noticed people stalking the empty lobster tray waiting for the new one to come out. I did witness the whole tray disappearing in seconds as soon as it arrived, so don't expect to get any without putting in a little time. They should probably put out more at once but it's likely part of the cost saving strategy not to. I have noticed that the plates are fairly small. Smaller than your average dinner plate but bigger than a dessert plate. Even during lunch there are lots of choices for hot food. Maybe around 20 dishes. To name a few things from the lunch menu: imitation crab cakes, more imitation crab in a clam shell, hot and sour chicken, shrimp and chicken with ranch sauce, beef and broccoli, chicken and mixed vegetables, fried chicken strips with peanut sauce, chicken skewers, mixed seafood (shrimp, imitation crab and squid in some kind of spicy mayo). The lunch menu doesn't change much so if you come regularly you might get bored. Weekend lunch gives you crab legs. The sushi bar is extensive and pretty good. I generally go for inside out rolls and nothing raw so I can't tell you about the freshness of the raw stuff. I can tell you that the rolls are flavorful. I have not had the hibachi here so I can't review that. There's fresh fruit and various mini cakes for dessert plus ice cream. I enjoyed what they called a "custard roll." It's like a mini custard pie. It's on the firm side and not too sweet at all and it's mostly filling, the crust is razor thin. Even though Crazy Buffet is not as good as it used to be, I try to forget its glorious past and still go because of the variety. read more
