    Very friendly and happy waitress, as usual. Prompt service always appreciated. Korean pork noodles specialty! I had Thai Pepper Shrimp . . HOT! Everyone happy and full.

    There isn't anything wrong with it here, I just would never crave this. It felt very healthy. The orange chicken was quite sweet. The employees were very friendly.

    Can't wait to dive into this Panang chicken. Love coming to Big Bowl and sitting at the Bar. Great people watching! Dove into my dish and Yes it was Delish! Honestly, if you like Asian food you will love Big Bowl Galleria. I e joy sitting at the bar. The bartenders are great! Friendly and efficient!

    Thai Iced Coffee

    We went here after our couples massage nearby and they were able to seat us right away! We ordered the edamame and crab wontons to start and then my fiancé and I split the orange chicken. The entrees are big enough to split, unless you want leftovers. I tried the Thai Iced Coffee and it was so good! Lots of parking in the parking lot. Tucked away in the galleria so the vibes were quiet.

    It's been YEARS! Same delicious food, same wonderful attention forward service- bliss! So grateful to come back and still feel the same every goodness!

    The atmosphere was fun and exciting, but the service was not great. The food was pretty ok, but nothing super authentic.

    Big Bowl in Edina was a great dining experience! Everything we ordered was excellent. The lettuce wrap appetizer was so generous it could easily be a meal on its own. We loved the orange chicken, yellow curry, and the build-your-own stir fry--everything was flavorful and cooked perfectly. The portions were big enough for two meals. The highlight of the night was the banana cashew spring roll dessert--we loved it so much that we ordered a second round! Great food, great service--can't wait to come back!

    Beef & Broccoli and Teriyaki Chicken Fried Rice
    Hayley N.

    First of all, huge shout out to our waitress, Kate C! She was absolutely amazing and so very kind! Kate had wonderful drink suggestions and she thought of absolutely everything to help make our dining experience wonderful with my toddler! The restaurant itself is quite open and roomy and has a warm environment. I felt very comfortable during my time there. Our table decided to share the broccoli beef and chicken fried rice. They were both absolutely amazing and had great flavor. For my drink I decided to follow Kate's rec and get the Blueberry G&T I opted for Beefeater Gin and it also included blueberry syrup, lemon juice, orange juice, and tonic. Perhaps the perfect drink?! I can't wait to go back during our next visit to MN!

    Salmon Chef's Choice Stir Fry with Brown Rice
    Ryan S.

    I got the chef's choice stir fry with salmon, brown rice, and the garlic ginger sauce. It was good (4/5) but a little expensive for what it is. The massive portion makes up for it though! Service was pretty slow to begin with but picked up (3/5). Inside, it is pretty loud with background noise, so it is harder to have a conversation than other restaurants.

    Fresh Ginger Ale
    Julia B.

    My partner and I go to Big Bowl every year for his birthday as the food hits every single time!! If I'm being honest we really haven't explored the menu much, we get the same thing every time just because we love it so much, he always gets the Beef Chow Fun which is no longer on the menu but they still make it if you ask:) We are both obsessed with the fresh ginger ale made in house its way better than store bought just saying. I love the classic orange chicken with white rice! & order the chicken dumplings for an appetizer as well. At the end of the dinner they said in addition to the free birthday dessert we get two free desserts because we were nice to them!! Just a reminder to always be kind and respectful to restaurant staff! Also they just renovated at the Edina location, it looks a lot more modern and sleek now which is fun!

    Firecracker Chicken
    Faith F.

    On this cold, rainy November night, we enjoyed some hot and spicy dishes at this Asian contemporary restaurant! We were seated right away in a nice booth close to the bar where our very kind bartender, Bennett, greeted us and got our Happy Hour drinks and apps in! Seasonal Sangrias, Spicy Green Beans and Spicy Peanut Noodles! The portions were a good, shareable size, so we had to share the Firecracker Chicken entree too. Everything was delicious and served to us very quickly. We will definitely be back next time we're in the area!

    Shrimp Pad Thai Noodles
    Morgan W.

    I stopped by for lunch with my sister on a Saturday and had a great experience. We were seated right away and had our beverages brought to us within minutes. The food came out quick and was so flavorful and delicious! My sister got their stir fry with chicken and I ordered the Shrimp Pad Thai. The Pad Thai was so flavorful and fresh it makes my mouth water just thinking about it! 10/10 recommend this restaurant. I didn't order any apps this visit but I strongly recommend the potstickers, edamame, Spicy Sichuan Green Beans and the sesame peanut noodles.

    Sesame Chicken Chinese Hot & Sour Soup
    Debra M.

    I feel like the food quality here has declined a bit. I ordered the Hot & Sour soup which was delicious but the Sesame Chicken used to have a bite to it that is missing now. I feel like I could have gotten this from LeeAnn Chin's because it was just bland. I used to go here when I worked nearby and it was always packed for lunch and dinner. I feel like since they franchised out to more locations quality was sacrificed. It's still good food but nothing special anymore.

    Northern Kitchen - Mapo tofu, pork belly and spicy beef stir fry- good flavors

    Came here on a Sunday night looking for a bite to eat with my brother. At the door we were greeted…read moreby the owner who spoke very little English (a tell tale sign of some kickass Chinese food). She seated us in a roomy booth and immediately brought us some waters. We ordered a the fried dumplings and the sesame balls. Both were absolutely delectable, best of each I've had in my life. The sesame balls had a crispy sesame coated exterior with a sticky bun interior and sweet bean filling. The fried dumplings were perfectly cooked to delicate perfection and were accompanied by a soy sauce with freshly minced garlic. Those didn't last 2 minutes on the table. We ordered the twice cooked pork and stirfry lamb as entrees and, as other reviews have said, the portions were generous. As for the the meats, they were thinly sliced, tender, and cooked to perfection. The spice level was right on point, not enough to numb your tastebuds but surly will leave you with clear sinuses. The spice contributed significantly to the succulent flavors found in each dish. Each entree comes with a bowl of buttery white rice. As a man of high caloric intake I was very satisfied with this establishment's CPD factor. As a genuine touch, there is heartfelt apology for rising prices due to rising ingredient cost and bird flu found at the bottom of each menu. 10/10 will eat again.

    I wanted something spicy Chinese and gave this place a shot. Spoiler alert, it wasn't but I also…read morehave a pretty high tolerance, and we are in Minnesota (no shade). I ordered the Stir Fry Spicy Beef, Mapo Tofu, and the Pork Belly. Everything was tasty and have no complaints as far as the actual flavors. I do think that the Mapo Tofu should always be soft tofu rather than firm, but that's just a personal preference. The beef was plentiful and extra tender and the pork belly was perfectly melt-in-your-mouth, so good that I felt like I had to ration it throughout the next few meals. I do wish it came with more rice. I ordered three sides and only got one box of rice. I was hoping to have at least two so I can eat it for several days. However, to end on a positive note, when I walked in to pick up my order, the woman (owner possibly) was incredibly friendly and spoke Mandarin to me. She was welcoming, funny, and we briefly argued how spicy food should really be for it to be enjoyable. "The spicier the better," me thinks. Come show these guys some love!
