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

    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.

    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.

    Sushi was decent. Rice was somewhat hard. The food seemed to be okay but rather bland to be honest. Incredibly overpriced though.
