1. Big Bowl - Edina

4.6

Exceptional(2018)

$$$$Price: Moderate

• Chinese • Edina

Booked 43 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.

We shared the special pea burrata crostini, Parma pizza and icecream with olive oil & sea salt. Everything was delicious. Good witch cocktails also delicious & so pretty. Great service. The only thing was we felt like we were being rushed off the table. We hadn’t seen each other and were spending time catching up but kept getting side glances from hostess & server so finally felt we better leave. Had barely hit the 2 hour mark & had ordered a glass of wine after.
