Chinese
There’s really only one place for authentic Chinese and Thai–and that’s Big Bowl. It all begins with the highest quality ingredients–naturally raised chicken and beef, heirloom pork, sustainable seafood and produce grown locally. Because Big Bowl believes that the best food is made from scratch, you can taste big, bold layers of flavors in every dish, from the curries right down to the dipping sauces. Everyone raves about the pad Thai, our spicy dishes that are truly hot, and our create-your-own stir-fry–and for good reason. Every element adds up to big taste and takes our food to another level, be it a fresh squeeze of lime, fragrant herbs or the seared Thai chilies. Big Bowl is so big on authentic flavors that even the ginger ale is made with fresh ginger root–from scratch, of course.

    Happy Hour is now available within the restaurant. Thank you for bringing this back after COVID!! Also, thank you for allowing it within the restaurant. Before Covid, Happy Hour specials were only valid at the bar- I now have little kids, so clearly haven't been able to sit at the bar. Hence- we were excluded from the possibility. With this new approach, we can still dine and enjoy Happy Hour specials from our table, along with the GREAT kids meal options they offer. Thank you!

    Typically order Kung Pau shrimp which is usually delicious. Had to send back because it had virtually no flavor at all. Second serving was slightly better. This restaurant is just not as good as it has been for years.

    We went on a Monday at 2:30pm so there wasn't a crowd and it was relatively quiet. As for the food, it's Big Bowl - you know it, you love it.

    A social day for my mom and parents as we were celebrating an anniversary and birthday in the same day! Our server was wonderful and anticipated our refills, made sure our GF meals were on point, and even talked us into the cake which they comped for the occasion. My folks took home huge portions to go as well. It made my parents so happy as they miss the location that used to be much closer to them. I think they’ll be making the 45 minute round trip to visit this location again soon!

    Group of 8. Very hard to hear. Server overworked so not smooth. Most people liked the food. I thought the stir fry was only fair, Kung Pao sauce way too heavy and salty, rather than tasty.

    We celebrated a friend's birthday with a late lunch on a Sunday afternoon. We were able to find parking close to the main entrance of the restaurant. We were greeted and seated by a friendly host. Our server was fantastic! She helped me understand more about the house ginger ale, and others asked questions about the differences between pad thai, Chinese noodles, and chow fun noodles. Our appetizer of dumplings arrived quickly and they were delicious. Our entrees were all very good, from the chicken pad thai, to the orange chicken, to the customized dish for the birthday celebrant. The food at Big Bowl Edina is delicious. We all were thrilled to have such a wonderful meal. To top the meal off, the birthday celebrant was served a special dessert on the house. We will definitely be back!

    Food had very little flavor for all but one dish we ordered. Service was okay but they put us at a table for six when we were a party of seven. Not a terrible experience but not one of our better times at Big Bowl. We have been customers for many years.
