Let’s be honest: In today’s society, who DOESN’T love themselves some Asian cuisine? The question is why? What makes our growing desire to consume these delectable concoctions so strong? While everyone has their own reason for enjoying this cultural powerhouse of flavor, we can all agree that when it’s bad, it is horrible, but when it’s good…oh my.

Enter the dragon named Stir Crazy. This restaurant, with its modern art deco feel and slightly elegant appearance, is home to some wonderful Chinese inspired dishes. Their most popular item on the menu is the stir fry that you basically, well, do yourself.

Upon ordering, you choose your noodle (wheat, lo mein, or cellophane) and your meat (chicken, beef, pork, shrimp and even tofu). From there, the wait staff brings you a silver bowl with a side cart in a handy-dandy carrying case.

This is where you get up, take your portable food carrier to the food bar, and load up exactly what you want in your stir fry. The combinations of flavors you can lace together are dizzying: Bean sprouts, bok choy, broccoli, snap peas, garlic, fried noodles, hot peppers, water chestnuts...it’s just a cornucopia of tasty delights.

The little side cart is for your sauce(s). Everything from a soy ginger to traditional teriyaki is here, and you can mix and match any and all of them if you like. Once you’ve made your pile, just head over to the chefs and hand it over.

Several cooks are manning large woks over huge flames, and they toss in your ingredients and sauce, and then your meat and noodle selections. After a few minutes, your dinner is served. And it is just cooked perfectly. The best part is, if it isn’t seasoned properly? Well, that’s kind of your fault.

They also carry regular menu items that are anything but. My personal favorite is the Mongolian Beef (pictured above). Tender flank steak nicely grilled and tossed in a teriyaki sauce with scallions, mushrooms and red bell peppers, and served over your choice of a bed of noodles or rice. It is just delicious.

So if you’re looking for a nice lunch or dinner out, and have a craving for something with an Asian kick to it, look no further than Stir Crazy. Its calming atmosphere, scrumptious cuisine and affordable price make it a definite recommended stop on your food journey through life.

After all, it’s just Da(m)n Good Food.
