Disappointing experience. The Mongolian beef was tough, fatty, and salty. The orange chicken was salty and had very few pieces of meat. The drinks were very, very sweet and mostly ice. Dinner for two was over $140. We are Lettuce Entertain You fans but Big Bowl falls way short.

I’m always excited about their stir fry bar! I’ve been here a couple of times. Pre covid this place was amazing and one of my favorite spots. When they reopened after Covid, it was meh. There was no stir fry bar and the food was subpar.I’m glad I visited again, and they are absolutely back in their game and were delivering delicious food! Stirfry bar is back and the food was divine. I tried green curry and yellow curry as sauces with thick flat noodles with Shrimp and it was amazing! Would recommend trying green curry and Penang if you like Spicy.Place was packed on Saturday night, reserve ahead if you can.

Good food. Fast service. Great deal of options. Attentive staff. Loud and crowded on an early Friday night. Lots of families.

The only thing I want to mention was that the ladies bathroom was a mess. Why were the toilet paper seat cover holders ripped off the wall? For a classy restaurant, in my opinion, they should have them there for the cliental. Things just appeared dirty too.

Ah, OpenTable, the virtual haven for culinary chronicles. Let me regale you with my recent rendezvous at this establishment. Picture this: you stroll through the door, greeted by an ambiance that, well, it's alright. Nothing to scribble sonnets about, but not a scene from a horror flick either, if you catch my drift. Now, onto the service. It was... serviceable. Not gonna win any awards for excellence, but they got the job done, ya know? Friendly enough, prompt enough, just your run-of-the-mill restaurant service. And now, the pièce de résistance: the food. It was... how shall I put it... precisely what I anticipated. Not a taste bud revolution, not a culinary catastrophe, just... there. It filled the void in my stomach, but didn't leave me composing odes to its greatness. Overall, this establishment? It's like that reliable old pair of shoes in your closet. Not flashy, not falling apart, just... there. So, if you're in the mood for a safe bet, go ahead, give it a whirl. But if you're seeking a gastronomic odyssey, well, you might wanna keep on strolling past this joint.
My cashew chicken was hot and tasted great. My sons Szezuan beef was great but was not hot, and the server was running around. My sons ginger soda with lime was premixed and had sugar. The server did bring soda and lime but failed to remove the original drink from the bill and didn't realize it until I got home. Overall great food!

We love going to Big Bowl as a family. We have tried few dishes so far and green curry is our favorite. We also like make your own noodle/ rice with veggies bar.

Great Thai/chinese food. Expect wait times and parking challenges as it can get crowded

With a renewed love of asian food, my husband and I visited Big Bowl after several years since our last visit. We were pleasantly surprised regarding the high quality of food and service. We loved the variety menu choices, while not being overwhelming. Even though we were seated right next the kitchen, our booth was roomy and the noise was not overwhelming. We will definitely go back soon; probably with friends or family for another great dinner out!
