I've always been a fan of Mongolian BBQ. And as I'm trying to increase my protein intake, and I was was I'm the middle of an 8 hour delivery day, I decided to try Crazy Fire. I came in around 1 on on a Saturday and there was maybe one other customer in the restaurant. Not a great sign. I didn't get a menu, I was just shown directly to a booth. I had seen online it was 13 dollars for all you can eat so that was my expectation. As I walked, I saw there were were cleaning supplies on different tables. Piece of advice... thank you for cleaning, but don't leave the chemicals and rags out in plain sight. I went to the buffet three times. Food was fine, standard for this kind of restaurant, though I wish they had the seeded bread that other Mongolian places have. And I was charged 26 bucks for the food. Turns out they charge one amount for one bowl, another amount for two bowls, and another amount for all you can eat. I've never heard of a place doing this. I did find a menu by the sushi area and it reflected the 10 and 13 dollar prices for the buffet. I mentioned it to my waiter and he said those are menus from before covid. Ok... that was 6 years ago and it was over 4 years ago, if I'm being kind. They have 6 plus year old menus there! I felt really misled. I won't be returning. read more

So it's been about 2 months since I last visited. Love the umami flavor of their house hot sauce and the need to overstuff the bowl was hard to avoid . Look, it's an acquired flavor, ambiance and presentation. Last minute decision and I ate alone. Set realistic expectations before you visit, then again, it's what I do where ever I go. That said, the food was great and as always, the service was good and will continue to visit in doses. read more

You've really got to pack your food in the bowl in order to get your bang for your buck. Lots of good options and tons of sauces and seasonings. With the big scoop of rice, one bowl is a decent amount of food. Would need 2 if you were really hungry. Fun to watch them cook it but pretty loud with them banging on the stove. read more

It was a first experience for me. Food was prepared perfectly and service was great. Plentiful seating and a warm atmosphere greets everyone. read more

A bit of a confusing place. They have more Vietnamese food than Mongolian, and the Vietnamese food is fantastic. The pho and banh mi are legit and authentic. The Mongolian is just okay. The atmosphere is not for everyone, and that's okay. I recommend takeout if the atmosphere is not for you. read more

The overall experience of this place isn't like anything before it's literally made to order and you get to create the order

Delicious food and friendly staff. Just wish the temperature was warmer inside. It's extremely cold when we go; even some of the employees wear jackets/coats. Other than the temperature, great experience whenever we visit. read more

Hidden gem. Incredible food, above and beyond service (the manager is there every day waiting tables, can't drink 20% of my water before it's refilled lol) I love being able to add all types of sauces and seasonings and if you eat in you can get literally about 4 meals worth of food for 18$. Been around for 20 years and very consistent. They keep it very clean as well read more

This place cracks me up. I keep going back bc it satisfies my Mongolian bbq craving, but just barely. There is never anyone in there. I'm not sure why. The ingredients seem fresh enough. The service is what cracks me up. They throw their hands up in the air & tell you to sit anywhere & ask if you have been there before. When I say yes, they point at the buffet and come closer. What do you want to drink? They have a full bar. Beer lights, backlighting, I asked for a vodka & coke. He never has any idea what I am talking about. I explain vodka. Clear alcohol. Nope. I always end up ordering Chardonnay. Every time, they come back to tell me they only have Cabernet & Chardonnay. Same guy always there. That said, he does give good service, is nice, & always there so I know what to expect. (Why do I order something besides wine?) I sort of wish they had more variety at the buffet, but honestly it's fine. read more

Typical build your own bowl Mongolian place. I'm vegetarian and there was a lot of cross contamination with the toppings so I didn't care for the cleanliness of the place. You get 2 small bowls to fill up all you want and they give you a small scoop of rice. It's $16.99 per person and for the amount of food given I definitely think it's overpriced. Food itself was nothing special, it was okay but nothing I would go back for even if it was more affordable. Probably a better choice for the carnivores out there read more

The Vietnamese food here is incredible!! I've had the pho, and the Bahn Mi, and both are amazing! Both the Pho Ga and the Pho Tai Nam are excellent. You get a sizeable portion of pho, accompanied by bean sprouts, mint, jalapeño, and lime. The quality of pho is very dependent on the quality of the broth, and this place has nailed it. The barbecue pork Bahn Mi is to die for. The baguette is perfectly toasted and crispy, filled with perfectly fatty, melt-in-your-mouth pork belly, all with fantastic aioli that really rounds out the sandwich. Seriously, I was never really a Bahn Mi boy, but I'd go out of my way for the ones from this restaurant. At $4, it's an absolutely massive value, and so good that I might even settle for 2 Bahn Mi's for dinner next time. As a fair warning, the service at this restaurant is lacking, and they're frequently out of a lot of menu items. Don't count on any one dish being available. Despite that, the food is so that I won't hesitate to come back! If you like Vietnamese food, give them a try, I promise you won't regret it. read more

Visit every couple weeks, the staff is friendly, food is always good, and the price is right where it needs to be.

Came here based on the reviews and also because I love Mongolian food. They have a Vietnamese side of the restaurant which I opted to try. I ordered the pho with meatballs. Service is slow seems to be run by owner husband and wife. Food came out fairly quick tho. Broth was yummy not too salty. Be aware the menu prices are not up to date. I found that out the hard way but didn't bother asking about it to make a fuss. read more

The food was not cooked well my beef tasted horrible, while I was setting to eat , a lady who was working there was yelling loudly with no respect.I paid 20$ for a yucky food and a drink Never ever will be back read more

Had the com thit Nuong here and it was amazing, the Vietnamese menu reminds me of my late mothers cooking and really brings love into their meals and into my heart. Would recommend to any and everyone for an excellent Vietnamese meal! read more

Crazy Fire Mongolian Grill - The cook - Sushi Bars Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

It's not all-you-can-eat as Google reports - the owners should get this updated. I went in expecting a buffet style, and it looked like one, but it's not one! I put as much food as I could into two small bowls and went up to have it prepared, told them I'm vegetarian, and then watched as they cooked my food near other's meat piles and they used the same cooking utensils. I ended up picking chicken out of my dish. In the past I've had mixed success getting a vegetarian meal from there but more often than not it gets contaminated. At least they kinda try? The ingredients are decent quality, but not great. For the price they charge they should offer larger bowls or better quality. read more

Oh my gosh what a waste of money! The bowls were tiny and can barely get anything in them and the meat came out so bland and dry. Upon walking in to restaurant, it gave a sense of depression. It was dark and sad and then went to bathroom and omg it was beyond filthy and the faucet was just resting there and almost fell off and I washed my hands. Never ever again! read more

Ever time I come in, I'm pleasantly astonished at the buffet's diverse selection, and how they are ALL fresh! Also, the cooks never overcook it, so each plate is tasty. I've several times, hosted groups of up to 20, and every person has been happy with the food and service. I do have to say, that the buffet is so attractive, that I've never tried ordering off the menu. read more

I like how you get to choose what you eat but I don't recommend coming to this one go to the other one near by because right as they were cooking I saw a cockroach crawling and I was like it's ok I guess but then I looked at the reviews omg it is so bad and I don't think my food was cooked all the way also the man just sat there and watched us eat me and my family we're so uncomfortable we will never ever come to this one ever again read more

What i like about coming here is everyone can have exactly what they want and you can experiment with sauces. I have been to other similar restaurants, such as in Durham and Goldsboro but you can't pick more than level of heats. We come fairly often. read more

Wow!!! Their Vietnamese food is the best in the Triangle!!! We ordered Bun Bo Hue and Com thit nuong (grilled pork rice). They were so authentic and amazing! Can't get enough of them! The owners were also very nice and friendly. read more

Crazy Fire is always a solid choice for lunch or dinner! Adding their made in house sauces and oils really bring out the flavor in their dishes. read more

Food was great, however they took away the all you can eat option. So, now it leaves a question why should anyone eat here if they can go somewhere else that will prepare and serve food to the customer for the same or cheaper price? read more

I heard from a friend they served Vietnamese food here so of course I had to give it a try. I've gone to every single Vietnamese restaurant in Raleigh and I FINALLY found a good one. All of the others were more expensive and skimp on the food. This place really feeds you. We started with spring rolls, those were delicious but kinda small, and the bbq pork banh mi (they were out of the banh mi dac biet). It was pretty good and only $4 a sandwich. I really hope it stays that way. The boyfriend had pho and said it was really good, had tons of noodles and ingredients were all fresh. I had the bbq pork rice dish with fried eggs. It came with TWO fried eggs! I've never been to a viet restaurant where they give you two eggs. Pleasantly pleased, cause I love eggs with rice :-) I did try to order a boba tea but they were out or didn't have them yet, not sure, so I ordered a Vietnamese iced coffee to go, which I never got, it's ok tho cause we plan on going back tomorrow to eat again. read more

I dined here recently. The setup is a buffet of ingredients that you select and put in a bowl. Then you take the bowl up to the grill to be cooked. You can either do one trip or an all you can eat. The all you can eat was $2 more than the single trip and I was advised this way I could try multiple combinations. The buffet had a variety of vegetables; meats and proteins; and sauces and spices. There are noodles at the buffet or you can get white or fried rice from the guy at the grill. My first trip up went fine and I realized that I did not get as much as I thought I did but it was cooked fine. My second trip, I did better at selecting items but the grill guy seemed overwhelmed with cooking the food and couldn't keep up with it and mine was burned. I wouldn't return again as I prefer properly cooked food. read more

The cook was really pleasant and nice. This review was more for the overall service and quality of my food. WARNING THEY ARE NOT CLEAR ABOUT THE BOWLS AND WHAT NOT. THIS ISNT AN ALL YOU CAN EAT PLACE. They charged us 27$ for eating twice when on google it clearly said all you can eat? Another thing my pork came out very red and this is the worst thing ever lol food seemed a little rushed too. The owner I suppose came over and asked us how much we got to eat and we told him we each had two plates and of course I thought this was what it says on google and all you can eat place but if you want to get overcharged for something under cooked lol by all means. Plus flies are lingering around the food which is kinda gross. Also not COVID friendly. A lot of the old people working her are maskless breathing on your food and on the food bar. read more

We love Mongolian Grill! My boyfriend and I go here often on our date nights and never leave diappointed. The chef does a great job of cooking our food to perfection on the stone. The martinis are also delicious! read more

Food: 4 (better be cuz I made it :-) ) Service: 4 Ambience: 3 Date/Time: 7/1/2017 6:30pm Crowd: 1/2 full Order: 2 bowls full of raw meat and veggies :-) What better way to know what's going in your dinner than to pick out all the stuff yourself and still not have to clean up the table! Raw meat and veggie buffet! Grab what you can fill in your bowls and take it to guy behind the counter to grill it! And if you're a noob, you get to ring the gong! If putting together your own meal isn't your bowl of tea, then go on the other side of the restaurant and order up some sushi. The service tends to be different depending on the servers, but most of them who work here are hard working and bus the tables as you eat and do a good job of tending to your drinks. The restaurant is a bit noisy during busier times since the cook is using flat metal rods to toss your food on metal grills, but your masterpiece, if you picked the right combo, is worth it! I prefer spicy tastes so I tend to pour on the Crazy Sauce, Chili Sauce and cajun powder. My preference is chicken and shrimp with broccoli, onion, baby corn, banana peppers, pineapple and noodles. By the time I'm ready to give it to the cook, I'm balancing both bowls trying to keep the mountain from toppling over before I get there and yelling "Clear the grill! Incoming!" Definitely recommended! And throw in a buck or so in the jar for the cook's beer money! He deserves it! :-) read more

Ate here for a late dinner on a Friday night and restaurant was not crowded. Dinner is $13.99 for all you can eat. (lunch is priced by the bowl). They have a wide selection of vegetables, proteins, and sauces and spices for you to create your own culinary masterpiece. After choosing your items, you take your bowl(s) to the cook/chef who cooks your food in front of you on a huge communal grill. Your food is then served to you with rice. There was a great selection of fresh food items and you can easily go vegetarian or vegan. You can be in and out within 30 minutes or stay for an hour. There is a separate bar area with 3 TVs and NC Lottery Keno. I would definitely recommend this place and will eat here again. read more

Talked my wife into going there again with me and I am so glad we went. I always go in the place with a smile and come out with a bigger smile. The food is fresh, and they make it the way and with what you want. That's great because only I know how I really want me meal. The only minor complain, their main cook on the grill, who is always there when we go, is one grumpy dude. To his credit though, he'd got one tough job. read more

Decent food for an all you can eat raw buffet that's cooked in front of a person. The cooks do their job well to make sure the meal is to one's liking, but ultimately it's up to the consumer to choose what they want. The cooks are LOUD with their banging on the grill and tossing the empty bowls into the bus pans. The AC at this location seems to have crapped out. While I was seated, eating, sweat just poured off of me, and not because the food was (spicy) hot, but because the interior of the restaurant was that hot - the AC just could not keep up. read more

It's not all you can eat anymore like the website suggests. There aren't even lunch specials anymore. Its $13.99 for 2 tiny bowls from the ingredients bar. Very disappointing read more

My wife and I just moved from Michigan and wanted to try Crazy Fire Mongolian Grill. I had one bowl of my choice and then had another and really liked them both. The next time I just took two bowls and liked both of them, tried different ingredients and it was not bad. Still trying to figure out the correct ingredients to satisfy my palate. We tell the cook how we want our food he cooks to our liking and immediately put something in the tip jar for him to see. My wife and I usually sit at the bar to watch TV and play KENO which we find entertaining. Juan the owner makes awesome mixed drinks and they have a good selection. Yes, the atmosphere is low in quality and needs an update, but we like the place because its near and we have not had a bad experience or food yet. read more

I usually love Mongolian grills and was excited to check this place out. However I was very disappointed! The food was bland and not worth the cost. I would suggest you skip! Trust me it sounds better than it is in person. I guess that's why it was so empty when we got there. Should've been a red flag. read more

The food is good with a decent variety of meats and vegetables, but takeout is too expensive. If you eat there, it is $9.99 for 1 bowl and $14.99 for 2 bowls. If you do take out, it is $9.99 per bowl, and the bowls are pretty small. So basically $20 for stir fry. it is better to eat there, drink ice water, and save $5 per person. read more

This place is a chance to try something new each time. All the meat is fresh (unlike some Mongolian grills who serve frozen meats), there are quite a few vegetable toppings from bean sprouts to broccoli and a large selection of sauce toppings (tried the Asian Ginger sauce and it was excellent!). The one issue that may come from eating here is the fact that you WILL be full when you leave, it is not a place for those on a strict diet. Lunch is affordable and the staff is friendly, you can pile your bowl as high as you'd like and they will take care of you. I will be back for sure to try something new off the buffet. read more

Crazy fire OHHHH crazy fire...what to say about you. This is the type of place where you have to have a concept of flavor and good taste or everything you make will come out tasting like garbage. It will be as good or as cruddy as you decide to make it. Several groupon offers in the last month have made this place a go to even though for us it's off the beaten path. The place is clean, has a good selection of meats, and unlike the crazy fire in raleigh/cary has baby corn. In my book that makes it a win. read more
