There are many activities that should not be performed on an empty stomach, including swimming, surgery, and swimming 30 minutes after having your appendix removed. Acquire activity fuel with today's Groupon: for $15, you get $30 worth of Asian cuisine at Stir Fry Cafe's Knoxville locations in West Hills and Turkey Creek.
Stir Fry Cafe cements its status as a culinary ambassador through a menu that draws inspiration from throughout the Pacific Rim with national representatives ranging from Japanese sushi and Thai curry, to Vietnamese pho and Chinese beef. The firecracker shrimp exchanges M80 tails for a tempura coating and chili aioli ($6.99), and custom stir-fry selections (starting at $10.99) pair meats or tofu with more than 10 combinations of ingredients, including the hoisin sauce of the kan shaw, the chili paste of the pud kaprao, and intact water buffalo horns of the Mongolian.

Stir Fry Cafe
Creamy curries, drunken noodles, and barbecue eel and fried shrimp helped earn Stir Fry Cafe runners-up nods in both the Best Asian and Best Sushi categories for Knoxville News Sentinel’s Best of 2012 list. Teriyaki chicken and spicy noodles stand on plates beside walls decorated with art from local artists. Wine and beer flow freely at the black-and-white checkered bar, which also served as the base for Stir Fry Cafe’s attempt at crafting the longest fish taco in known space.
