    Ive always enjoyed the stir fry on visits to Big Bowl but this time I decided to try the Pad Thai. Mistake. Mine was swimming in mediocre sauce and my husband’s order was short on sauce and bland. Our friend had the chicken yellow curry which she said was”good.” Se will go back but maybe not get Pad Thai there.

    Always a great dining experience at Big Bowl. Always try the specials, which are always different and very tasty. Best Hot and Sour Soup anywhere.

    My friends amd I have eaten here several times. Both husbands have trouble walking and getting up from their seat. The staff is exceptional and are this way every time we have gone. They are kind, caring and helpful. The food is always good. Will return again.

    The receptions was welcoming and we were quickly seated, despite the lunch hour. Reservations do help! However, the waiter was quite disinterested in his job. He was slow in getting our order, didn't bring what he offered. never smiled. He acted as if her were doing us a favor to "wait" on us. The food, on the other hand, was simply delicious.

    Our meal and experience was wonderful, as usual. Our server was attentive and did a great job. The meals were delicious, both were spicy meals and lived up to that. One thing I have to call out, the fact that they set your kids up with chop sticks that are easy for them to handle.

    Excellent longtime Asian spot, still fresh and still getting it done. Don't forget to earn your Lettuce points when you visit.

    Warmly greeted, promptly seated. Comfortable menu offerings. Entree prices about standard, apps seemed a bit high, wine seemed a bit high but we generally don't order. ample servings and unique flavors, fun dessert. Service always top, at all Lettuce locations. Parking dicey but Thur evening worked well

    We were sat at a table in the bar which meant the bartender was our server. He wasn’t that busy yet wasn’t able to provide us even mediocre service. Our one appetizer came out after our meals were served and he blamed it on the kitchen instead of taking some ownership and being apologetic. His arrogant attitude did not lend itself well for the poor service we received.
