About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Healthy
  • Good for special occasions
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.

    Big Bowl does a very nice meal. I enjoy the stir fry bar for picking the vegetables I like. Atmosphere is pleasant and not too loud. Our group of 6 was handled with ease.

    The lunch specials are wonderful and even the salad is available gluten free. Our server was fantastic today too. Big Bowl/Ridgedale is a favorite place to go.

    I’ll message my concern directly to a manager, it was poor service and I’ll leave it at that for this public post.

    Our server Adam was very attentive and kind. I could see the other servers standing where the food comes out. They were in a big group chatting. When Adam was waiting for the food to come out he was standing near the station but keeping a watchful eye on his tables and moving around to see if anyone needed anything. Perfect!

    We had a reservation for a group of 9. When we arrived, the tables were ready, and we were immediately seated. The restaurant was fairly busy, which was nice to see during a winter weather event day! Sara was our server, and she was excellent - answered all of our questions, and was very prompt to refill water & beverages. Food came out in a decent amount of time, was liked by everyone, and the portions were large. We were celebrating two birthdays in the group, and she comped us two desserts, which I wasn't expecting - thank you! A great experience at Big Bowl!
