Stir Crazy

Rarely do I find myself inspired to write a review directly after a restaurant experience — as opposed to going to bed after a delicious meal — but in this case, I could hardly help myself from pronouncing the incredible merit of Stir Crazy. From the beginning, judging from the outside signage of a business that obviously room pride in their regional cuisine, I had faith in this culinary expenditure.
Our waitress (A-​Chen?) was immediately very delightful and attentive. It’s important to me when employees express genuine interest in offering patrons a special dining experience– and again, the pride in this restaurant’s unique Cambodian background was totally clear in how eagerly she answered our many questions about the menu. It’s important to note that this place takes serving delicious regional Asian cuisine very seriously, and that’s so very special for anyone sick of MSG-​laden takeout menus.
All of our food was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend asking your server to recommend dishes — in our case, we tried the Gyoza and shrimp dumplings, both of which were so advanced and superior to any I’ve had before in America. The tofu triangles were out of this world, even if you’re not vegetarian. They’re served in this so perfectly balanced broth — I have to give a lot of credit to the kitchen staff regarding this dish– it is not easy to sustain crispiness, temperature, and flavor with a plate like that. It truly was one of the best tofu variations I’ve ever enjoyed in my entire life.
Our entrees, especially the pad Thai, were all five stars too. You know a good Asian dining experience when what makes the food stand apart is good flavor — anyone can throw soy sauce and orange syrup on chicken and make an enticing dish … The craft is in working with quality ingredients that don’t rely on sugar and salt for taste.
We also tried the green curry, and I had to resist asking which brand of coconut milk they used because it was so flavorful, and the curry was so delicately spiced — truly a treat for someone who’d suffered a winter of monogamously over-​seasoned canned-​paste curries.
Finally, our deserts were really delightful– I tried mango rice sticky pudding for very first time, and was so impressed by the slightly salty rice and refreshing fruit. I would say this is a can’t miss, no matter how full you might find yourself after all the delicious entrees.
Ultimately, very rarely do I find a place so good that even though it’s pretty out of the way, I have to come back. I really look forward to bringing and recommending this place to others. Really one of the most worthwhile dining experiences of the year.

Drove by this place many times after going across the bridge and always wondered about it and it’s catchy name. Then friends told us that it’s great. So we finally made it there and agree wholeheartedly! Excellent good, atmosphere and service. Had egg rolls, steamed dumplings, khamera special with seafood. My husband had their chicken bar bong and their homemade hot sauces. Now, he considers himself an expert in southeast Asian food and he said this was the freshest and tastiest ever. I loved it too! Chana was our server and is such a smart and friendly young woman. There’s a pride of great family ownership that is very evident. Can’t wait to go back!

Got takeout from Stir Crazy on my way back to Martha’s Vineyard and it was amazing!!! I’ve been missing Asian food, or frankly, anything remotely ethnic since I’ve been living on the Cape and I’d driven by Stir Crazy a few times, noticing the sign for Cambodian food.
When I called, I couldn’t load the menu on my phone so I asked the person on the phone what she would recommend and just went with it. She was helpful and very enthusiastic about the food — which I took as a good sign. I ordered the vegetarian Me-​Siam and Eggrolls, Green Chicken Curry, House Marinated Chicken Wings and Mango Cheesecake.
The food tasted very fresh with good portion sizes — a plus when eating with my boyfriend. I enjoyed the varied aromas and flavors in each dish. Nothing is worse than ordering from a restaurant and finding out it’s a one trick pony with every dish tasting the same. Stir Crazy’s dishes did not disappoint and I will be eating here often!

Holy Mackerel! I have been telling everyone I know how amazing this place is now its time to take it to the masses! I have driven by this place a million times and never gave it a second thought. Location just is kinda weird, not bad but just would not expect such deliciousness on MacArthur Blvd. This was the best meal out I have had in a very long time. A friend convinced me to give it a go… Spicy scallop roll left me wanting sooooo much more. Firecracker roll effing fabulous. House marinated steak was out of this world delicious. Wait staff super friendly «Dee» (at least I am pretty sure that was his name) rolling the sushi was clearly an expert with a fun sense of humor. I cannot recommend Stir Crazy highly enough!

We’ve been driving by this place for years and finally gave it a try. Our server, Chana, was efficient and attentive. The specials sounded great so we ordered two. Mine was a meat combo of shrimp, beef kabab and chicken tenderloin. The beef was some of the best I’ve tasted. Some how, although the pieces were bite sized, it was crispy on the outside, yet still medium rare inside. My friend got the pork rib special. Generous portion of tender roasted ribs on a lightly dressed greens and sliced fruit salad. Great combo. We will certainly go back.

Fresh healthy food! I was so happy eating here after two months of lackluster food on the cape. The veggies were fresh and plentiful. The fish super fresh. All the servings were super hearty. I thought I would have leftovers for lunch, but it was so darn good I ate everything!
Well worth eating in or getting it to go. Hmm, I think I’ll order take out right now

My husband & I have been going to Stir Crazy for years and were excited to see sushi added. Now, the only place we sit at when we go is the Sushi Bar. Sushi is outstanding and Dee is an absolute joy to talk to. We love the food. From the regular menu, the chicken bar bong is our favorite. You have to try the egg rolls. If you are expected traditional Chinese food, i.e. Chinese stir fry, or egg rolls, it’s not, it is CAMBODIAN food. It is all FRESH vegetables and herbs. You can taste the freshness in every bite. The whole staff is wonderful. We were just there tonight and go about once a week now.

Have eaten here numerous times over the years and have never been disappointed. Incredible food. Now they have sushi. My son and I sat at the sushi bar and were astounded at how great it was. «D» was incredible making the sushi and was a delight to talk to. The firecracker roll was just perfect. Even my son had the highest of accolades. Going back very soon!

This used to be a fav of ours. Authentic Cambodian food. Now it has added sushi to the menu. Disappointing. Four of us went last night. Elderly crowd. I ordered lemongrass flank steak which was not bad but the ikura arrived and right away I could tell this was not going well. Pieces were unusually small and seaweed wrapped poorly. We nearly burst out laughing because the portion of wasabi was the size of a pencil erasure head. There were maybe three thin slices of ginger. I had to ask for soy sauce and then a dish to mix the sauce in. I wanted hot sake but it could only be ordered by the bottle with the smallest costing $ 24. My friend’s sushi dinner was deemed poor. The wrong kind of rice was used. My other friend ordered the steak tips. It came with huge pieces of broccoli and cauliflower with little pieces of steak. My wife ordered chicken fingers which turned out to be the best meal. Will not be coming back.

Had such a great meal here last night! The sushi was unbelievable and my husband got a steak that was so good I had to steal a few bites!

The waitress was charming and pointed out that we were ordering too many main stream dishes and should try some of their specialities. Highly recommend the sushi, different curries and Mango cheesecake.

It’s been a family favorite for years. The only downside is the menu, it’s rather small but the food is such high quality and so superbly prepared it doesn’t really matter. (Unless you eat here extremely often)
It’s neigh impossible to order something you wont like here.

Finally one of the few places who really knows how to make an Asian curry! It’s not supposed to be watery but creamy from the custard part of the coconut milk. This place was a great find on. a recent trip to the Cape where mediocrity rules because it can!
First we had the fresh spring rolls wrapped in rice paper. They were fine but pretty heavy on the lettuce as a filler. Second the fried crispy tofu with peanut sauce. Perfect fry job: crispy and not oily so the oil temperature was correct. And inside nice and soft. They serve it with a nuoc cham type of peanut sauce which is very good. I wanted spice and was happy to discover that beside the «everybody has it» sriracha, they had a homemade chili sauce that was to die for. I took some to go.
We only had one entrée because we couldn’t risk. leftovers since we were visiting. And the waiter told us portions are big. They were. The
curry was great! It had eggplant and bamboo shoots and red bell pepper. And as I mentioned the curry was properly prepared and not the usual chesters way with mostly coconut water. For dessert we had another gem. A homemade coconut rice pudding with small pieces of Palm. fruit in it. Very traditional. And very tasty!
The service was friendly and the atmosphere was nice.
The prices are pretty steep. But again being on the Cape they can get away with it. The curry was $ 19.95 which is too high. The one fresh roll was $ 6.95 for only’m one. The tofu $ 7.95 and the desert which was very small was $ 3.95. So that was a draw.back. And my only complaint. Oh! Except for giving another patron ketchup when he asked for it. Wtf?! You tell him you don’t have it next time!!!
If you are near this place you should go. It’s delicious.

Started out sharing a Mai tai tini… Very strong and tasty. Stir Fry is extremely accommodating for vegetarians. If you order tofu, they make the whole dish vegetarian like the egg rolls. However, they do let you know or ask… just in case we want the pork (which we didn’t) egg rolls. Meals were simply bursting with flavor, and the plates were abundant. The service is friendly and knowledgable. Definitely try this place!!!

Excellent food and friendly service. The food is so fresh and flavorful. This place is a hidden gem.

VEGETARIANS BEWARE! The menu states vegetarian in several places but none of the Cambodian dishes are vegetarian! All have shellfish sauce. So happy my husband happened to spot that on the menu since not only did I go here expecting vegetarian food, but I am allergic to shellfish. The only thing they could serve me was a veggie stir-​fry with soy sauce and ginger… which was fresh tasting but I can make that at home. it was a quiet winter night but service was quite slow… but friendly. My husband’s meal was tasty but not hot. All in all disappointing after all these rave reviews.

Great food! Will defiantly come back! Service was great and my girlfriend loved the me-​Siam and the egg rolls. I had the lemon grass steak and it was cooked perfect, when the food came out it looked just like it did on their menu, defiantly worth the trip to the cape!

Stir Crazy is a great place to eat if you are looking for good food. Their style of Cambodian plays well to the area and the owner is originally from Cambodia so you know that he food is exactly what you would get out there. The restaurant is Zagat rated which is a very nice honor to have for any establishment.
Their finger rolls and peanut sauce are to die for. I always get extra peanut sauce and poor it over everything I eat. they have a small bar but a good selection of drinks. The overall restaurant is small but it fills up quickly so if you are hungry go early.

Shrimp khemara may be my new favorite dish-​really fresh ingredients with excellent flavor! Hubs loved his beef bar bong & cleaned the plate! My first time here-​first time eating Cambodian food, actually-​will def be back!

I visit Cape Cod a couple of times a year and this place is amazing!
Their stir fry is amazing but I am obsessed with the egg rolls here! I have tried fish here as well and it is to– die for!
Very tasty, healthy food.
Definitely a must try! Great family owned business :)
