My first time going back to Big Bowl in Edina after the Roseville location was closed. I missed the food dearly and finally had the chance to dine there. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We went with our kids and the restaurant was very kids friendly. Not many Asian restaurants has kids friendly menu.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]One thing I do want to mention is might be adding some sort of safety feature for the bathroom door. The door is very heavy but it not soft closing which unfortunately finches my littles finger.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Good food is amazing as usual. read more

Love Big Bowl, especially for groups! I made an online reservation through OpenTable and appreciated that a staff member from Big Bowl called me personally earlier in the day to confirm everything. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Big Bowl has a fun, upbeat environment and the staff was super polite and welcoming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was super flavorful and a good value for the portion sizes, though I do wish the entrees came with a little more meat. My favorite was the Yellow Curry with chicken! I was also confused by the potstickers because they were SO different from any I've ever had before. I honestly don't know if I'd recommend them because they almost tasted like they were filled with soy sauce? Not necessarily bad, just very unexpected. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I've been here a few times and it is a somewhat nicer Chinese/Thai "fusion" place based in the Galleria mall.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I have almost always enjoyed the food with only one exception (I would avoid the beef and broccoli.) Other than that, the food is pretty fire to be honest and you can even customize your meal by visiting the little bar they have where you select the veggies and stuff you want. My favorite dish is the 7 flavor chicken because I enjoy spicy. I've also tried their drinks and they are pretty tasty. Be ready to pay for a higher level of food and service than what you would at a hole-in-the-wall kind of Chinese place. This is fancier. And if you go during peak times, be prepared to wait. All things considered, I would recommend it. read more

Finally made it to the last Big Bowl in the area. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was very inviting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The Kung Pao Chicken and appetizers were as yummy as I remember. The flavored lemonade was very good. Service was average. read more

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.

I came on Sunday afternoon with friends and we ordered some noodles, lettuce wraps and I ordered the big bowl chicken salad. After ordering, we were told they were out of lettuce wraps so my friend ordered the Kung Pao Chicken instead. My salad looked, smelled and tasted amazing, however it there were no visible pieces of chicken! I had to dig to the bottom only to find barely about 1-1.5 ounces of chicken. Really disappointed to pay $20 for a salad with less than half of the amount of chicken. A serving of chicken is 3-4 ounces. I'm pretty sure it was the same chicken they use for the lettuce wraps. I felt cheated! Won't be back! I didn't want to bother the server since she felt so bad and was very apologetic for having to tell us they were out of the wraps. read more

We had take out and ordered the chicken pad Thai, which was okay, the Cantonese Bok Choy, Snow Peas & Shiitake Mushrooms, was yummy and needed some sort of noodles with it since it was in a broth. The next item was the lettuce wraps, these were fantastic and came with a hoisin sauce that made it even tastier. read more

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! read more

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! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant itself is quite open and roomy and has a warm environment. I felt very comfortable during my time there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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! read more

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!

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! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also they just renovated at the Edina location, it looks a lot more modern and sleek now which is fun![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

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! read more

The Pad Thai was so flavorful and fresh it makes my mouth water just thinking about it! 10/10 recommend this restaurant.

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. read more

Our family just experienced a negative response to our three year old little girl at the Edina Big Bowl - primary from the manger. Definately put a negative cast to our meal. After we paid our large bill and were getting ready to leave the very quiet restaurant at 2:00, the manager came over to tell us our 3 year was too noisy and disturbing people who wanted to eat. We were leaving and I found her rebuke unnessary. Our little girl was excited but not bad as we prepared to walk out The manager was not interested in hearing my disappointment as a very long term Edina customer in her unnecesssary reprimand. She had no empathy to my disappointment to her rebuke as I explained to her our family had been customers for many years and had really enjoyed the Big Bowl. So for a place that had always had extraordinarily good staff, her response was very disappointing. read more

Tasty lunch! I had a chef's made stir fry with veggies, rice noodles, and teriyaki sauce. Super good and freshly made loaded with lots of veggies. My husband had the Kung Pao Chicken lunch special which also came with rice and hot & sour soup. He was very happy with his meal as well. Our server was friendly and attentive and kept refilling our drinks. Overall, a great first Big Bowl experience and I'd happily come back! read more

This may be one of my favorite places to eat at! Insanely good, good portions (we always bring home leftovers which heat up just as yummy) and great service. Whether you get it to-go or eat in restaurant you can't go wrong!

Went in a big group after watching a movie at the AMC in Southdale. 7 adults and 8 kids and got sat in the middle of the restaurant. We had a reservation and we were seated right away. As the original location, I hadn't been there in a while. The server was attentive and came out with our waters and drinks right away. We ordered a few appetizers like their calamari, green beans, edamame and a hot and sour soup. The calamari wasn't as crispy as i remembered but good flavor. The green beans were good and the soup was pretty decent. Expected more chicken in the soup but found a lot more tofu. For entrees, we ordered family style with a variety of dishes. Everything tasted good although not spicy. Maybe the peppers just werent as hot that day. Overall the food was tasty and the specials that we tried were good too. A good place for large groups with plenty of options for everybody. read more

Kung Pao Chicken was definitely the best thing we had tonight. Wontons were very solid as well. Was disappointed with the. Chicken pad Thai considering it was their "signature dish" according to their menu. Service was solid. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very energetic ambiance in the restaurant, really enjoyed that.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Cost is on the higher end for Thai food, but the quality just isn't quite there in my opinion if I'm nit picking, but overall fine experience.

Hadn't been to a Big Bowl in years but craved some of the spicy dishes they have, first time at the Galleria location and wasn't disappointed at all. Our server was awesome, our food came out crazy fast, and the portions were huge. Well worth the drive and definitely will be back again, a huge plus for me is the gf selection and that they're very careful about cross contamination. Safe places to eat is always so nice to have! read more

One of our staples in MInneapolis area! Walked in and greeted by a "well-stocked" hostess station with plenty of smiles and hello's (It's a first impression with me always when I go to a place like this and I was impressed). Once we were seated we mentioned to the waitress that we were celebrating 25+ years of friendship and it was a double birthday! She congratulated us and took our orders. First you have to order the homemade lemonade which is a "must order" as it's so fresh and amazingly sweet! Then the potstickers ( sautéd in a pan with a light crunch on the bottom - I get these every time). I love the sesame chicken here! It is tender and not like your typical rubbery chicken you get at other places. My wife ordered the curry and the great conversation with our friends commenced into the evening. The grand finale was our birthday celebration...and it never happened! She proceeded to hand us our checks and forgot. We were disappointed. Our server was "nice" but she should've went the extra mile! We came there to celebrate and while it could've been great ended on a high note... it ended with a thud. Side note: I grade my bathrooms as a 5 Star Bougie (clean, pleasant, smells great, picked up, in order), 3 Star Basic (like home with the basics and equally as clean) or 1 star Bad (filthy, paper towels on the floor, sink is disgusting, smells like a toilet, etc) ... this gets a 1 star Bad! I will be back but they have a few things to tighten up! read more

Our time at Big Bowl started off a bit poorly as we waited over 15 minutes for a waiter to come to our table despite not being overly busy. However, we were impressed with the rate at which our drinks, appetizer and entrees came out. Food was relatively good and I'd consider going back. read more

Went here with some girlfriends on a busy Friday night. We made reservations and were seated on right on time. I got the sesame chicken and it was good but nothing mind blowing.

Food was great 5 stars....loved that it was served very hot. Our waiter was fantastic 5 stars for him....unfortunately I can't recall his name... We did NOT like host person who sat us, we asked for a booth and there were booths that were clearly open, she said "they were reserved" and sat us at a table. When we left, there were 3 booths directly in front of us still empty. Didn't appreciate the lie from the host staff 1 star for the host staff:( read more

We ordered food on the website for our department and clicked delivery which was prominently noted on the website. When our food was late, their email noted our order was ready to be picked up. Whoa! It was supposed to be delivered. When calling about our order the attendant said "we don't deliver." Yet, it was featured on their website and it was noted on the receipt and each container. Plus, we were charged a delivery fee. Lettuce Entertain You has gone down hill. read more

As I have heard it many times before "Long time "eater" first time "reviewer." Well, you get the idea. I have been to The Big Bowl in the Galleria many times before. While the price points may be at a premium I have found that the food is of high quality and the portions are not unreasonable to me. I dined here the other night and thought it little changed. I was with a husband/wife team, also Big Bowl veterans. He and I split an order of spicy Sichuan green beans and I ordered Sichuan beef to which I added (for an additional $1.00) Chow Fun noodles. I thought that the noodles (somewhat like Chinese lasagna sheets) were well matched to the spicy stir fry. I ended up with enough leftover that I could enjoy another dinner the following night. I drank a cool, refreshing Hibiscus Lemonade that to me seemed to mesh nicely. Cordial and professional staff, low noise levels, upscale surroundings and plenty of free parking. Works for me. read more

So glad we chose this restaurant over others at the galleria. The food was so fresh and came out steaming hot!! We were in for late lunch/ early dinner. A few other tables and a large group were already dining in this low lit establishment when we arrived. The host was quick to seat us and when we mentioned to or server we were there for the first time, he was very helpful in explaining specials and appetizers that might be appealing. We chose cashew chicken and a chef special stir fry of teriyaki shrimp with veggies and fried rice. The special stir fry was the big hit with its deep yet slightly sweet sauce and perfectly cooked shrimp. Our plates were shareable and we each took some home for later. The bar had coke ( not Pepsi) and we decided we would come back in the future. Yummm. read more

Big Bowl - Chicken Dumplings Thai Herb Fresh Calamari Crab Rangoon (5) - Chinese Near Me - Edina, Minnesota

I have recently tried big bowl on three separate occasions. On my first visit, I got a kid's meal. The portion was great and the food was good. On my second visit, I got the chicken peanut egg rolls. It enjoyed trying a new kind of egg roll and loved they offered chicken. The egg rolls are nice and crispy but I'm not much of a fan of the peanut combo. On my third visit, I tried ordering on the app and was having issues so I just called. I placed a pick-up order over the phone and after I gave the order they said it would be ready in 16. I was surprised they didn't ask what time I want to pick up. I did respond by letting them know I didn't want it that soon. Also when I placed my order I asked for house lo mein and they ordered me beef which I didn't realize until I left. The crab Rangoon's are delicious 10 out of 10. read more

Decided to give this a second try after the first time I tried it was awful. Had so many people telling me to go to a different location and give it a shot. So I did. Well it was delicious this time. My bf and I went for lunch and they were rather busy with the lunch rush but service was still great. I ordered the chef's stir fry and did the chicken with sichuan sauce and Chinese noodles (lo mein) and I requested only snap peas in my dish. It came out great and had the perfect amount of spice. We also ordered the crab Rangoon. It was good but some of them lacked filling. I think they need to include more filling. My bf ordered the teriyaki shrimp fried rice and added chicken. He liked it but next time will request no pineapples. We will be returning. read more
