Crazy Cafe Sushi & Kitchen Hibachi — Restaurant in Florida

I thought it was a solid 4 stars on the food and 5 stars for the service. The service was fantastic! This was our first visit. I definitely need to revisit and try more menu items.

This experience was good. I wasn't expecting it to be a large dining area with lots of booth seating. That surprised me. The tables all have a beachy table top theme. Everything was very clean. They have lots of menu items including hibachi and sushi. We started with the fried gyoza which were crispy and yummy. It was a very large portion. We also got the vegetable tempura. It was a lot of appetizers. We should have ordered just one for the 2 of us. It was all delicious. They brought out a couple of different sauces to the table. My absolute favorite was the ginger sauce, and I dipped everything into that sauce. It was one that I don't see very often. Ask for it if they don't automatically bring it to you. I was also super happy with my pot of hot green tea. I'm always happy when I see it served in a teapot. This one was a metal one that kept the tea hot the entire visit. Yay!

So, I ended up selecting 2 fried sushi rolls. Don't ask me how I did that. I normally try to get one that is raw as opposed to cooked. Which means I didn't get to try any of the raw sushi. Dang it!

Anyway, these rolls were huge. I usually like mine rolled in smaller sizes. I think the Florida Roll was my favorite of the two. It had big pieces of cooked salmon inside. It was very meaty for a sushi roll. The baked and spicy scallop mixture on top really added to the flavor. The Jaguar roll was good but the eel was hiding inside the roll. I feel like it needed more eel. I also have to say that I struggled to find a specialty roll from the menu. None of them called my name. I'm not a fan of cream cheese in sushi rolls. There's other ingredients that I'd like to omit and I'm sure they would probably do that. I just didn't ask. What I would really like is some kind of sashimi roll with no rice that isn't wrapped in cucumber. The only specialty roll that I think I would like is the Sweetheart roll. That is definitely one that I will try next time. Other than that, it was a very good visit. My husband liked his hibachi entrée. The atmosphere and quantity to price ratio was great. We were pleasantly surprised. I'm looking forward to another visit. Try it if you happen to be...

We have been coming here for over 10+ years as well! We too feel like this is one of our favorite sushi places in Tampa! To give some background...we're an Asian, military family...which translates to a sushi & hibachi/teppanyaki loving family that has tried A LOT of sushi/hibachi-teppanyaki places around the world! Also, the new owners of Crazy Cafe are dear friends of the former owners of Crazy Cafe...and the new owners streamlined the previous menu and added their twist...This means they have an awesome new menu, which includes most of the previous menu items, with food just as good, and, in some cases, better! As friends of the new owner (Yuki), Eva (previous owner) may still be seen when it gets busy...so, there are still chances to see Eva. :). Another nice feature that's been added to the menu is that when you order sushi, it's for 2 pieces (like most other sushi places around the nation) and not just 1 piece. Everything is made to order. You can customize any order. The staff and ambiance is wonderful as ever! We recommend anything on the menu!...and we've tried pretty much everything on both the old and new menu! LOVE this place just as much as before!!! LOVED the old but LOVE the new as well!!! The baton has been passed successfully and we plan to continue coming here!!! Take the time to get to know the new owners and try out their updated menu! You won't be...

I have been coming to Crazy Cafe for over 10 years now, at least twice a month if not weekly. Out of all of the sushi places I have tried and frequented, this is my absolute favorite sushi location in all of Tampa Bay! The food is delicious, from sushi boats, sushi, sashimi, specialty rolls, hibachi, tempura, and more, everything is always very fresh and beautifully presented. The staff, especially Eva, are always so kind, efficient, and caring. Eva always takes the time to ask about my day, my work, and life in general. I always feel so welcomed and leave feeling full and happy! The service is absolutely top notch and very quick too! The location itself is very beautiful, with very detailed decor and a large dining space. They always have relaxing music playing which creates a lovely atmosphere overall. I have celebrated many occasions here and highly recommend Crazy Cafe...
