Hey everybody, back again. This time I'm going
to Krazy Buffet. I actually did a video on them last year, but I'm going back to see how things
have changed, and how the prices have changed. This place is off the strip west on Sahara near
Durango. For details check the description below. Their prices are like this. The cheapest is lunch
at $12.99, and dinner is $17.49. And on Sunday it's all day dinner price $17.49. But I like coming on
Sundays because it means you pay the dinner price, AND you get all the items. There are a couple other
buffets similar to this one around town. This is a Chinese buffet. But the reason that I like to come
here is because it feels cleaner... it feels clean. The food moves. And what I mean by that, is people
gobble it up. And they gobble it up so fast because it's good. And so they keep replenishing the food.
The food is always hot. The food is always fresh. It's not stagnant... it doesn't sit for hours. And
that's why I like this place. At Krazy Buffet, as you can see, they have a pretty large selection.
And somebody in the kitchen has some skills. They have some talent, because they put out some pretty
good tasting food... the seasoning, the recipes they use... everything comes out good. You can tell
when food is old, because the bread is hard, everything is not as fresh... you get the feeling
that it's been sitting there. You can tell what old food is like. And you can also tell when something
is freshly made. These meatballs are incredible. I know personal friends have ordered trays of that.
But anyway, the prices have gone up. The dinner price used to be around $13, $14...
but now it's $17.49. And I didn't see any crab legs... the snow crab legs. But they had other versions of
crab, and plenty of shrimp and mussels and clams. These days prices have gone up so much that
you could spend $20 at a fast food place easily. So if you're gonna spend $20,
you have another option... an all-you-can-eat option. This is a buffet. It has salads, it has
desserts... has seafood... has all kinds of stuff. This place can get pretty busy because people know
where the good food is. Even things like this pork and jalapeno. This is a really good seasoned pork...
has a really good taste... a little bit spicy... not too much. They have things like french fries and
pizza, your classic stuff like beef and broccoli. And I don't know if you have seen my buffet videos,
but if you noticed, I hardly ever get Chinese food at the buffets... even the mega buffets. Because, quite
simply, it's not very good. In fact, all of the items here, I would say, is about 5 times better than
what I would find at a mega strip hotel buffet. You'll have to excuse me, I had to get the pizza...
had crispy pepperonis on it. Not everything here is good, but the quality is pretty impressive.
Some of the things are just okay, but I guess that depends on you, and what you like. And some of
the things are so good, that I think about going back just for that one or two items. The chicken
wings have a really good tasting batter too. They even have a pretty decent sized sushi
selection... although I don't really choose to eat sushi at places like this. I don't know... it's
just me. I'm pretty spoiled when it comes to sushi and steak. So I can be pretty selective. But if
you're in the mood, they do have a pretty large, or decent-sized, sushi selection. And they prepare
it where it's plain to see what they're making. And they do move these items also. And they have
your fruits and vegetables... and they have a dessert section... although, not extremely large like
the mega hotels, they have some good stuff. I love mandarin oranges. It doesn't matter if it's
from a can... still one of my favorites. And jello. They also have ice cream, where you can make
your own cones, or just get the ice cream in a bowl. I forgot to get ice cream this time around.
I guess because I was too full. It was customary that I'd always walk out with an ice cream cone.
But anyway, let's take a closer look at the food. On my first plate, I got some chicken wings.
I got that chicken on a stick. This is really good. I love this thing... has really good flavor.
If you have never tried this, try it out. This is really good chicken. The pizza was okay. It wasn't
that good. I just liked the pepperonis on top. But the pizza wasn't too bad. The dough was similar
to um the Pillsbury pizza dough. And although my favorite kind of wings are the ones that doesn't
have breading, this one was pretty good. They have a pretty good seasoning in the batter. I can always
see them replenishing the food. They brought out so much of this crab, they built this huge mountain.
But I know it's going to be gone in 15 minutes. Now this type of crab... because it came out like this,
and it looked so fresh... I had to try it. But first I got some fresh shrimp (shrimp cocktail)... a little
bit of vegetables to balance out my cholesterol... and I wanted to try some of this shrimp. I knew
it was going to be a little bit of work. But going on to the shrimp cocktail. The shrimp... they
were pretty small. But even though they were small, they looked pretty fresh, so I got some. And if
you can see the size... these are kind of small. So it was easier for me to pull all the tails off
first. And then I just got my fork, and just kind of got a bunch of them at the same time. This was
still good. It was a refreshing shrimp cocktail. It kind of reminded me of the Las Vegas style shrimp
cocktail, where they used a small bay shrimp with a lot of lettuce and the cocktail sauce. I also
like this steamed fish. It has a subtle soy sauce taste with a little bit of cilantro... sometimes
ginger. This is really pleasant. This was a really good dish. As far as the crab goes, I can eat this.
It's a little bit of work. There's not much meat in the legs. There's more meat near the body. Some
people just chew up the shells and spit them out, and some people just eat it, I think. I don't know.
They also had this crawfish boil, or seafood boil. They had some crawfish in there... some shrimp.
But on this second plate I went for the beef, because it looked like they brought out a
big mountain of beef again Again, really fresh. And I can't believe I took another look at the
pizza after that first slice.... but pepperoni. So this is my second plate. I tried not to overload
the plates. I try to keep the portions small. That way, you get to taste more things. This mayo shrimp
is really really good. Some of the nicer Chinese restaurants have giant prawns in this sweet mayo.
They weren't as big here, but it was still really good. The beef was soft, but it had some grizzle
in it, so there were pieces that had some "tough to chew" parts. But overall, the taste was really
good... especially with the mushrooms. If you're a really small eater, it might not be a good idea to
go to a buffet. But $20 doesn't really hurt. And, also, now going on to the soup. If you've
never tried hot and sour soup, it's like an egg drop soup, but it has a little more stuff. And
it's got a little kick to it. A little bit of spice... not too crazy spicy. I'm pretty sure you can handle
it. It's got a good flavor. Moving on to round 3 for me. When I got up there, I noticed that they
were filling the food items again. Because they empty out pretty fast. A lot of people come in here.
So like I said, the food doesn't have a chance to sit there for a long time, because people eat it
up. It's funny how I usually think about this place when I'm super hungry. Because I know I can pay
less than $20 and get all-I-can-eat... All I want to eat. Sometimes I'll only eat maybe four
or five items, just a lot more of it. But sometimes I want to try all kinds of stuff. At those times,
I get less of everything so that I can try more items. I can't eat as much as I used to. Now,
after about 3 or 4 plates, I'm pretty full. So I got to kind of keep that in mind when I want
try everything. Usually, I would say buffets aren't good, because the food gets old and it stays
there for a long time. But this place, that's not the case. And even if you can't eat a lot... for $17
or $18, I don't think it's too bad. You can just eat what you normally eat... the quantity that you
normally eat. The desserts here are okay. I wasn't overly impressed with the desserts. But it's pretty
fair. You can get items that you like. And I think this is a really decent buffet... especially for
the price. Hopefully the price won't go up anymore. Now if you come for the lunch, keep in mind
they might not have all the items that they normally have on the dinner menu. With a drink
and tax... comes to $20.46, (Free refills on the soft drinks). So I'm pretty much done here. Thanks
for watching, and we'll see you on the next video.
