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.

    It was a busy night with Christmas shoppers, but the staff was right on time with our reservation, and, per my request, put us in a quieter location. The draught beer was huge, and our main course came hot and was delicious, although my Thai shrimp was a little spicier than I expected, and I like spicy food. My husband's chicken curry with peanut sauce was a hit, and we both came home with leftovers. Service was friendly and efficient. We'll be returning!

    Food is reliably delicious. Seated quickly with reservation, and they were working hard to get others waiting seated too. Wait staff very responsive.
