• Chinese • Edina

Booked 17 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.

As always, the service, food and drink were outstanding. We were lucky enough to get a table on the patio for one of the first beautiful evenings of the spring/summer season. Unfortunately, the noise level from CR 42 traffic is always an issue, and especially now that this road has become a regular bypass for additional traffic due to construction/road closures.

Still one of our favorite places. The food and the service are always great. It’s pretty busy depending on what time you go and so at those times it can be pretty noisy but even when it’s really busy they are always well staffed and handle it well. It’s certainly one of the best run restaurants around.

We stopped in for an early lunch, so it wasn't crowded or noisy. We ordered one of our favs, the Linguini de Mare. It was the best we ever had. The seafood was very fresh and the sauce was absolutely delicious. Of course the fresh warm Italian bread was also wonderful.
