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.

    Great Food, Service and Ambiance. The only drawback was that I was meeting a friend to visit and the full room and hard surfaces made it difficult to hear each other at times.

    I heard a lot about this place so tried this place. The soup was good but food was a bit too salty. We had the kungpao tofu and Thai green curry with vegetables. Apart from that overall ambience and setup is good

    It was a very good meal to celebrate mother's day with. It was fairly noisy, but considering the day it was expected. Eveything was good. I did find the appetizers a bit overpriced for the quantity (potstickers). Other than that it was all good.

    The Pad Tai was like a salad and was bland. The noodles were cut small and there were so many vegetables. The vegetables were not chopped up a lot and kind of crunchy. Maybe this is how it was supposed to be, but I was expecting more of a noodle dish and will order something else next time.

    We could not find our server to help us order or get our check, and it was a Tuesday night… We had to flag down other servers to help us out. We still gave her a 20% tip but she was not even really on the floor… It took my husband a half hour to get a draft beer and finally the bartender himself delivered it. Your booths and tables are in tough shape. They’re worn through on the seats and they are really sad at the table top… You can see where the varnish is rubbing off completely. The food was great as always, and once we did get our beverages, it was really good.

    Great food. Service was a bit slow after the entrees were served. No checking back and had to wait to order dessert. Also waited for check and finally had to ask for it. Ended up being loud in there too.

    Made a very specific and reasonable request to the waitress for my daughter’s meal due to a food allergy. I even reiterated it, and the waitress assured me it would be ok. The meal was done incorrectly, so I switched meals with my daughter. They offered to redo it, but who wants to eat and then wait for the other to receive their meal… The attitude of the waitress and manager was indifferent and defensive. This is not fine dining, so I guess the bar needs to be lowered to the floor lol. No one cares that we will never return to that restaurant… the world spins on with poor service and poor quality for full payment.

    We hadn’t been back in years because of a not-so-great experience way back when. But we wanted to give Big Bowl another try since it had been so long. Our server was nice, but just did the bare minimum to take care of us. It was hard to get his attention, but when we did he was happy to help us. We do a lot of cooking at home, so I guess it’s no surprise that everything tasted overly oily, sweet and salty. We weren’t sure if the dishes we ordered(the build your own) were supposed to be shared family style or not. They were so big, which was nice for leftovers, but it was so soupy with sauce that eating it as my own felt a little odd. Like, if it was a shared plate, you’d take what you wanted and could leave most of the sauce on the main plate? I guess my point in all of this is it would have been nice if the server took 30 seconds to introduce himself, ask if we had been there in a while and then tell us how the menu worked. We definitely ordered too much food! Kathryn

    Big Bowl is awesome. It was (is?) one of my favorite restaurants. Having said this, I live in the north metro. I was a Rosedale Big Bowl customer weekly (or more) even during Covid when I could only do take out. I doubt I will find Edina very often.
