The noodles were so over cooked I could have packaged them with food coloring and sold them as Twizzlers. The place is small and offers a hipster like décor with no free WiFi. My partner and I figured it was part of their plot to not accumulate much deserved reviews considering if people knew the truth about this place I doubt they would be so popular. The place is aptly named San Francisco Stir Fry since it offers fresh vegetables and extremely over cooked noodles for a bill of $ 40 for a two person meal. I personally will never go back until said prices and cooking methods have improved to suit both a reasonable budget and sense of taste.

Nice option to have in Mentor. Decent choice of veggies on the bar. The kids portion was perfect for my 8 year old. My 10 year old went with the regular portion size. I had the house siracha soy bbq sauce. The dining room was really cold when we ate in, so definitely not the most comfortable.

First time here and it was better than I expected! Choose your base, meat, and sauce. Then pile the veggies you want yourself to have stir fried with your first options. You can ask for a sample of the sauces if you’re not sure which one you’d like. It is a bit pricey, but I think it’s worth it for what you get. Even with the regular size bowl, you can pack the veggies as high as you can, so the portion can get pretty big. Will be going back for sure!

Really way too pricey for what you get… went on a very cold(20 degree) day, and the dining room was freezing. They also have to address that. Also only a few drink choices out of a small cooler… it could be so much better…

This is a nice alternative for Mentor’s wide array of chain restaurants. Clean atmosphere, healthy options with fresh vegetables. Nice to have vegetarian meals too. Great for lunch or dinner– especially on the go!

One of the coolest places in Mentor. The schezwan sauced Stir Fry was so yammy

This is in Mentor not Gates Mills like the label says. We saw the write up in the News Herald and wanted to try it as perhaps a healthy alternative to most take out. You cannot order by phone as you build your own bowl of veggies when you arrive. Everything appeared fresh and there was a nice variety. Then you choose a protein and a sauce. I had scallops and the spicy szechuan sauce with lo mein noodles and my wife got the chicken with rice in the kung pao sauce. The manager was polite but seemed a bit frustrated with the kitchen as we overheard him say he had to give away two orders for being incorrect. We also waited while a guy who came in literally ten minutes after us was served before us. Mngr. apologized and I understand that with new places it often takes a little while to work the kinks out. It’s not like the prep is that complicated, fry it in a wok. But I can say the sauces were tasty. We were a bit surprised at the price and agreed that we could make it at home with far less oil. Still good though.

Slightly pricey, but one of the better Asian food places in the mentor area. You can pick as many veggies you can put into your bowl. The interior is nice, could use more seating but if it works it works. Chicken is 7⁄10.
