    I mainly get seafood. Always seems to be extra good on Sunday evenings.
    Jessie S.

    Mr. Stirfry is my favorite buffet in town. Hubby and I go about once a month. Some of my favorite staples include the rice noodles, butter shrimp, (baked salmon is surprisingly good), sushi selection, peanut butter pie, those Chinese doughnut things that taste like you're eating a cloud, and the general chicken. I don't care much for their 'American' foods (moss sticks, pizza, chicken nuggets) because it's typically very bland, but I'm not going to an Asian buffet and looking for pizza. My husband always goes for the hibachi grill. I fill-up enough on the sushi, so I rarely do. I also like the cherry bananas, wonton soup, pork skewers, and fried rice. Drinks are not included in the meal price, but I usually order water anyways. They do have chopsticks! I love using chopsticks. It gets REALLY busy on Sundays, but their seafood always seems to be a little better on Sundays. Bathrooms are usually pretty clean and the workers keep your table bussed pretty well. I usually tip a couple bucks. It's a teeny bit expensive. For example it was $26.75 for me and my husband to eat on a Sunday evening and we had waters, but it is all-you-can-eat. So, that's not THAT bad of a price. They do offer to-go. Not sure if it's by weight or container. I've never to-go-ed.

    Pepper chicken, fried rice, spicy crab maki, and broccoli and carrot from the beef and broccoli.

    I usually find Chinese buffets completely inedible, but Mr. Stirfry is a pleasant surprise: the food is so-so, perhaps even pretty decent. It's hands down the best Chinese buffet you'll find in Sioux City, at least. (It's also the third best Chinese restaurant in town, but that says far more about the lack of quality restaurants in the area than it does about Mr. Stirfry.) It's quite a large establishment and I've never had trouble getting a table even during traditional busy hours. You pay upfront and order drinks at the counter. Once you're seated, the waitstaff only stops by the table to clear dirty plates, bring drink refills, and drop off fortune cookies at the end of the meal. The staff isn't outgoing -- don't expect small talk or to even catch their names -- but they've never been rude to me; they're just doing their jobs quickly and efficiently. The buffet has a large assortment of dishes, such as a sushi bar, some American fare, a hibachi grill, and of course a large area dedicated to the standard Chinese dishes like beef broccoli and General Tso's chicken. It's all restocked regularly, so the food is usually fresh and the trays are rarely empty for long. The secret to having a decent meal at Mr. Stirfry is to make careful judgment and sometimes start with small portions on your first plate. For instance, some days the hot and sour soup is a decent side dish, other days the broth comes out closer to glop than liquid. It's probably best to just steer clear of the American fare altogether; it looks like something thrown together for parties with a picky eater who will only eat pizza and chicken nuggets. The sushi is okay, but only by Sioux City standards. When it comes to the safe bets, I'd say the pepper chicken, honey chicken, beef broccoli, General Tso's, and other standards you expect to find at a Chinese restaurant are all consistently cooked well. The flavors won't blow you away, but it's quite tasty -- far better than the Chinese food you'll find at a mall food court or the like. It satisfies my craving for fastfood-style Chinese nicely. If you're looking for top quality Chinese dining, well, you probably shouldn't be looking at a buffet to begin with. But for a quick, easy lunch with many options for filling up, Mr. Stirfry fits the bill.

    I've been eating there for years. Some days are better than others but nothing in Sioux City beats it for price and variety.

    I'm going to stretch out and give this place the 5th star! I typically try to stay away from…read morerestaurants that have a denomination before a family member, because they're usually a train wreck. Like "5 Guys" (which is absolute garbage, and I have no idea how this place stays in business, because I've never seen a single one of these have any customers inside) But I'm digressing, and I'm glad I gave this place a shot! I walked over here, and I walked through the patio dining area, through the patio entrance/exit, not realizing that the main exit was just around the corner of the building but I made it in anyhow. The kid up front was super nice, and asked me where I wanted to sit and I chose the bar, naturally! This place is super clean, even the bathrooms, so that was really nice. A bunch of TVs, and I think I even saw signage for live music on Fridays? But it's a pretty big venue, and they even have their own private dining room for private parties, at least I'm guessing. My bartender, was a spitting image of a woman I know in the town where I live, in the Eastern Sierra mountains. I literally had to double take and triple take to make sure it wasn't her. But unlike the lady I know, this bartender was nothing short of excellent! One star goes for the knowledgeable bartender, and the successful owner knowing that 'extra lime' means WEDGES, not WHEELS. It wasn't too busy in there, but she was really attentive to the bar patrons, and was on top of her game. Everybody sitting at the bar area, were so nice to one another, we were all talking and I ended up meeting this really nice, older gentleman that I chit-chatted with up until he left. I love the fact that the people here are so open and comfortable with one another and can engage in friendly banter. So that being said, my bartender constantly kept an eye on me and never interrupted my conversations when she wanted to offer me another drink or to order supper. She always timed it perfectly right! I'm on a no carb kick, so I ordered the smothered pork chops, with steamed broccoli and asparagus. Man, was it good. Those asparagus were popped down over an open flame and roasted, and even though very simple and basic, some of the best asparagus I've had at a restaurant ever. My whole trip was very enjoyable, and it looks like I'll be here in Sioux City for a few more days at least, so I will probably poke my head in there, this weekend! I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND YOU TRY THIS PLACE. I eat all over the country, from fine dining, to little holes in the wall in the deep south.
