Description: 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.

We had about a half hour wait and it was well worth it. It is in the Galleria Mall so we brwsed in the Pottery Barn while we waited. I had the scallops and shrimp and it was cooked to perfection. Our server was top notch and very attentive. Would highly recommend.

The food and service are excellent. The hot and sour soup has a depth of flavor that apparently comes from their using pork to make the stock.

I have eaten at Big Bowl numerous times but today was a less than desirable experience. The noise was deafening and the seating near the windows was like sitting in a drafty tunnel. It was simply cold and when we complained, they just said "we know". WTF??? Anyway, I have always enjoyed the food but today's KP chicken was definitely... More

Love the fresh ingredients. Can ABSOLUTELY tell the difference. Yellow curry chicken would convert any non believer. I won't order anything else, unless it's an appetizer beforehand. Hibiscus iced tea is also great. One mark against them is not food related...ladies restroom is freakishly odd. One large handicapped stall, and one stall about 2 ft sq. Luckily, it's a mall,...

We have been dining at the Big Bowl in Edina MN for many years. It is without a doubt our favorite Asian dining destination. I don't think they have a menu item that you wouldn't like. Very good variety of selections, all cooked up fresh. Waitstaff is great also, many who have been with the Big Bowl for quite a... More

I have had Big Bowl takeaway at a local grocery chain, this was my first time to the one in the Galleria. We were here the day after Christmas, it was busy but I was really happy to hear they took reservations, guaranteeing us a seat as my friend was on lunch break from work. We both selected the build... More

Eating at the Big Bowl is loud, fun, and tasty. Stir-fry at its best. Thai , Chinese and other Asian delights. Really good gyozo dumplings. Delicious small ribs. And you can get take out too. It's a family place.

The build your own stir fry is great, since you pick up the exact vegetables that you want in your meal. The atmosphere is lively and fun. Normally we have good service, but tonight was very slow and our server was oblivious of how long we waited for everything.
