    Teriyaki chicken with brown rice and crab puffs
    Celia V.

    Big Bowl does this big back right! I have had it several times now. The food is always hot and fresh, even when ordered for delivery. The crab puffs are amazing! Perfectly cooked to where it has a nice, crispy outside, with a delicious soft and warm inside. They never taste like they have been cooked in old oil. In this order, I also got the teriyaki chicken with brown rice. Everything was delicious! I've also had the shrimp fried rice, orange chicken, and Kung pao chicken. All great choices! Very friendly service as well. I've never eaten inside , usually just get it to go. But it did look nice and clean inside. Highly recommend!

    Crab Puff

    Solid Chinese food at a great price--Big Bowl is that low-key gem you wish you found sooner. Let's talk highlights: the crab puffs? Unreal. Crispy on the outside, but the inside is creamy, rich, and flavorful in a way most places don't get right. I could easily take down a dozen. They're not just a side--they're the moment. The General Tso's Chicken was another win. Crunchy, saucy, and just the right mix of sweet and spicy. Not too greasy either, which I appreciate. Paired it with fried rice and felt like I had a full feast for a steal. Fast service, big portions, and food that hits the spot--Big Bowl does exactly what you want a casual Chinese spot to do. I'll definitely be back for more (and yes, I'm ordering extra crab puffs next time).

    Pork fried rice

    I ordered delivery from here on DoorDash, the food was done quickly, and everything was still hot and fresh upon arrival ! Everything I got was flavorful ! The lo mein was garlicky and perfectly cooked on the side of my general Tso chicken which was great as well! The pork fried rice has sweet bits of bbq pork pieces and was fantastic , and the Thai tea was the best I've ever had from here . I'll definitely be ordering again and trying more options !

    We pass this place all the time and the parking lot is always full so we figured we would go in and try. We were not disappointed. we ordered Wor Wanton soup and NY Style Chicken Chow Main. It came with rice and crispy noodles. The chow mein was GREAT! The white rice was cooked to perfection, not too moist and just dry to my liking. the Wor Won Ton soup was ok, but could have been better using a chicken stock instead of beef. the wontons were hand rolled and used a heavier noodle. they were ok but I would have enjoyed a little different taste. the soup also lacked boc choy, parsley, sliced pork and more mushrooms. Over all, the meal was tastey and we will return again. Jeff AzcameraReviews

    Rotten Orange Chicken
    InCogNita 7.

    Upon arrival I was met by a withered woman with a nasty temperament who literally snatched my card out of my hand! While deep breathing & contemplating walking out, I decided not to respond in kind. After a few minutes of me sitting in what looked more like a storage unit than a restaurant, she made me aware that my food was ready, rolling her eyes in silence upon my "thank you." To my horror upon returning home, I discovered a rotting orange slice in my food & no plasticware in sight. Hopefully my garage can enjoyed the lunch special!

    We ordered at least once a month! We have never been disappointed! They always quote us 45 minutes on delivery and the foods here in like 20 minutes! It is super hot and fresh every time. These are pictures of our order from tonight, but this is generally what we order! Didn't take a picture of my husband's Wong soup but he swears it's spot on !

    4.5 Stars... I've been meaning to try this spot for a while so I stopped by tonight. The team members greeted me promptly as I walked through the door & were friendly. I ordered to go & got the Spicy Basil House Lo Mein with Fried Rice. The order came out fast & hot. When I opened my meal in my truck to eat it I noticed there was no fork or chop sticks which was a bummer so I had to grab a fork from Circle K. I was pleasantly surprised at how good my Lo Mein was, the ingredients seemed fresh, the cuts of meat weren't fat, ligaments, or questionable. It also had a bunch of grilled jalapenos in it which definitely added to the flavor. The only reason I docked them a 1/2 star was the lack of any sort of utensils & the $1.50 upcharge for fried rice was a mistake, the fried rice was absolutely flavorless, even after adding soy sauce (I'll stick with white rice next time & save myself the $1.50 & disappointment.) I will definitely be back & I want to try their lunch specials.

    Did not like the Chicken egg rolls, prefer the pork ones myself. The Mongolian Beef was very tasty.

My issue was with the s'mores bread was the Hershey syrup did it a huge disservice. I think something like chocolate chips would have been better but that's my humble opinion. The staff was really friendly and allowed us to pay for the food altogether and wait until we were ready for the desserts. If you're looking for fancy, this ain't it. If you're looking for honest, you don't need to look any further.

I tried to cancel my order on the app but it said the store had already started making my order (even though it most certainly hadn't).
