If you try nothing else from this restaurant, try this dish! Please, Tanuki Izakaya & Ramen, keep the beef tongue curry/beef tongue curry ramen on the menu (it's really _that_ good)!"

Actually, as a frequent patron, I highly recommend EVERYTHING about Crazy Sushi. In the event you choose to dine-in, you will receive excellent customer service along with great sushi. Crazy Sushi is crazy good!!"
"The slices of fish on top of the roll is very thin & small. The Mexican Roll specifically is all imitation crab and rice. The flavors are still good but I've been skipping this place due to the shortage of portion & decided to give it a try again . I get it the prices are really good but I'd rather not get skimped on rolls so intensely"

"The Salmon Teriyaki BB was delicious. It was moist, tender with just the right seasoning and of good portions, along with the sides that accompanied the entree. The salad came on the side. Tender and fresh greens with a light dressing that complimented the entree. Was delightfully surprised that the Asparagus Roll was as delicious, moist and tender."
"The Sesame Chicken BB was sooo good! I wish they'd put more sauce though. The chicken was fried perfectly and the salad and cucumber were equally tasty. The F65 roll is one of my favorites, I love the shrimp tempura and soft shell crab, so fresh! I wish I could enjoy it more but I'm an idiot and apparently selected no spicy tuna (spicy tuna doesn't even come on it) instead of no spicy mayo so it's too spicy for me. I'm SO mad at myself for making such a ridiculous error. The restaurant did great, I screwed up. Portions are perfect too.I totally forgot to take a picture of my sesame chicken BB before I started to devour it so apologies for the picture."
