1. Big Bowl - Edina

4.6

Exceptional(2011)

$$$$Price: Moderate

• Chinese • Edina

Booked 33 times today

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.

Our waitress was wonderful, although the young lady that came up to greet us needs a training in customer service. Of course our reservation was late, so I was waiting at the host station and I guess it's walk in seating after a certain time. So I was just staning there then a young lady who appeared to be off the clock walks up and asked me was I okay as if something was wrong with me. I know I need to actually be checked in for my app and she was blowing that off like just sit
