    Supposedly this is maqluba mix. Look at the pictures posted by the restaurant vs this. DO NOT EAT HERE, you've been warned.
    Waleed M.

    Very very disappointed and I DO NOT recommend eating here unless you like getting sick. This picture was taken after I ate a few bites of the meal, I couldn't finish it because the taste was horrible and the food was cold (I live 9 minutes away so it couldn't have gotten this cold from when I picked it up till I got home). Furthermore, the quality of the meat is very low from the taste and how chewy the beef is. Halal or not cheap meat is very obvious to differentiate. I paid $25 for the plate and part of the charge was $3.99 for a side of yogurt. This is price gouging in my opinion, and for this type of food it should come with a side of sauce or yogurt. I ordered a maqluba mix and from the picture this is what I got. For anyone who is familiar with Middle Eastern food, this is NOT maqluba! If I wanted grilled chicken and beef I would have ordered it. The flavor was so horrible and disgusting. Did I already mention that? Yes, because it really was that displeasing. When I first tried this place it was good but time over time it keeps getting worse and worse. Safe to say I will never spend my money here eating this disgusting overpriced low quality food again. Made me sick the next day! Save your money or you're better off eating anywhere else, even McDonald's! Oh by the way, don't be fooled by the other 5 star reviews it is super obvious that there are many fake reviews or they are friends with the owner to make the restaurant appear better than it actually is. You have been warned. By the way, the food in the pictures posted by the owner looks NOTHING like the food served in the restaurant.

    I ordered Kabob King to go for dinner Friday and it hit the Mediterranean food spot! The service and ordering was quick. I ordered a couple of things and didn't check the bag so I was missing an item which is why this isn't a full 5 star experience. I should have checked the bag but that was my mistake. I ordered a chocolate cheese cake but did not get to try it. For dinner I ordered the falafel sandwich combo on pita. The pita and sandwich was was a little small but it was enough food with the seasoned fries that were a little soggy. I did order the stuffed grape leaves and enjoyed them. They were served with lime which is a little different than lemon which is preferred. The lime was an interesting combination of flavors. I wish there was a half order as 10 was too much for one.

The buffet-style is very vast with many more selections than typical hot pot places. Even the sauce station looked like it had just been cleaned and kept pristine. I brought my sisters here because we have a tradition of hot pot and our usual spot is now closed forever (boilspot) but this place, just further down Fowler, is such a wonderful replacement. I highly recommend this place. I tried literally every vegan option (they even have plant based meats, although I personally did not like them) and I left soo satisfied and probably overstuffed haha. This is the best hot pot in N Tampa.

    BY FAR THE BEST HOT POT IN TOWN. The way the tables are set up it gives you so much space to eat…read moreyour food. The hotpot is in the table, the booths are spacious but not too far from the grill... iykyk us short people suffer at those booths when they are so far. This place had clean seafood however they do not devein their shrim. Our waitress was so helpful and made sure our food started on the grill when we went back for our hotpot food. They also have hot food, desserts and sushi so if you are like me you can snack while your food is cooking. I will definitely come back because i frequent many hot pots and this is by far the best one. I will mention this is apart of a hotel so the parking is funky just be sure to park in a non-numbered space.

The breakfast was good and they had a nice variety of options. Of course I stuck with the things I normally eat and everything was pretty good. Nothing was extremely amazing except for the potatoes! Those potatoes were PERFECT. I wish I could eat them every day for breakfast! And I can't forget the sweet tea! I'm a sucker for a good homemade sweet tea and theirs definitely hit the spot. Of course I had to get one to go too! The decor was also really cool with the vintage theme. It was kind of nostalgic seeing a buffet since those have been out of style for so long. I also really appreciated the glove station they have for when you're going through the buffet. Not having to touch all the utensils after everyone else is definitely something I noticed and thought was a great touch. Overall, I enjoyed my breakfast and I would definitely go back again!

    My experience at the Dummy crabby was delicious. I'm always ordering the all you eat seafood bag …read more You also have options to appetizer . I never order them but last time I order the sweet potato fries they so good . I don't want get full appetizer. The waiter was attentive and explain everything about the menu .

    I've seen adds for this place on social media. I've read reviews which were mixed. I was curious…read moreand really wanted to try it myself. I'm guessing many bad reviews because of the interior. I was expecting it to be a decent sized restaurant. I was mistaken. It was very small. It reminded me of an old Chinese food restaurant. The 4 booths that were there to eat in house were either taken or just not cleaned yet. We decided to take our food to go. They had a special for boil combos B & C for $39.99. That is what we decided to get. The food smelled so good from the ride home, to when we opened it. We dumped all of the contents into a huge bowl. It was decent sized portions. The dummy crab seasoning was garlicky and delicious!! There was so much seafood. We couldn't finish it all that night. We did have the rest for dinner the next night. It was still so tasty!! The best part about it was that neither of us got sick the next day. We were worried. Previously we both got sick on a seafood boil from a different restaurant. This was also in a different state. Needless to say, we will be getting seafood from dummy Crabby again!!

    First, I want to say that the staff here are genuinely kind and welcoming, and in many ways this…read morebuffet offers a lot to seafood lovers. There truly are some standout items, and when things are done well, they are really done well. I especially loved the seafood broth in the dish with corn, the broths used with the fish, and how they pair with the incredibly fresh seafood. When those elements are fresh, they are absolutely delicious and a highlight of the meal. The fresh sashimi, crab legs, and shrimp continued to live up to their reputation, as did the mushrooms, seafood dishes, fresh cucumber salad, and cabbage. These items were very fresh and made it easy to create an excellent meal. There is a lot of potential here, and many of the offerings truly are amazing. That said, I feel strongly that the buffet would benefit from fewer options done well, rather than a larger variety that isn't consistently fresh. Unfortunately, some items were clearly spoiled and should not have been served. I honestly believe that if everything were taste-tested before being put out, some of these issues could be avoided. The pickled ginger, in particular, had gone bad and so it had a strong unpleasant odor and a slimy texture. This seems like something that could easily be prevented by serving smaller portions, keeping the rest refrigerated, and checking it daily before serving. While I thought the sushi was good, it felt amiss without the pickled ginger. More disappointing for me was the fresh fruit. The oranges, honeydew, and cantaloupe all tasted off and had a bad odor and slimy texture, which is the primary reason for the 3 stars. The bubble tea however was still delicious, but I was really hoping to finish my meal with fresh fruit, and that just wasn't possible this time. I also continue to wish there were more ice cream flavor options. There is so much that is great about this place, and I truly hope management focuses on freshness and quality control so the best items can shine without being overshadowed by a few spoiled items.

    Normally I ditch crab legs at Asian buffets because the crab meat does not give, but at Fuji?! Idk…read morewho their supplier is but these crab legs were phat and full of sweet crab meat. They got a variety of dishes and everything was solid. Sushi was so-so just because the rice wasn't seasoned like sushi rice normally is but the fish to filling ratio was A1, the sashimi was good too. And they have a drinks station with prepared jelly teas, bottled jasmine tea. Loved that they had dragonfruit at the desserts station. The service was also fantastic. Clearing plates quickly, super attentive. Easily one of my favourite buffets I went to this year.
