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.

Awful experience. Booth was wet (had to physically dry it myself as host was watching me), service was next to non existent (slow- took more than 10 min to be greeted at table and forever for food to come), food had 0 flavor (so weird), ridiculously overpriced for a glorified Applebees. The booth was broken so the person behind me keep pushing my side, the room is in dire need of repairs and upgrades (so janky and run down). 3 meals, and app and over $80. How they are charging that much for crappy quality, bad service, deferred maintenance… We will never go back.

Big Bowl was like always, a very nice place to catch a nice meal with friends. We were in the center of the restaurant so it was pretty noisy and energetic but everything was good and enjoyable.

I always get the kung pao chicken with cauliflower rice. Awesome meal. Server was great and after some chatting where I indicated I enjoyed spicy foods he suggested adding peppers and that he could bring me a chili sauce which was very tasty.

The menu is large but I chose the lunch menu which comes with a side choice of salad or soup. The salad dressing was delicious! My main dish was Teriyaki chicken fried rice. Also delicious. The rice was not dry nor greasy. Just right. Excellent service too. My favorite place to eat at Ridgedale.

Our server, Erica, is fabulous! So glad the stir fry bar is open again. It’s the first time in 4 years that I’ve truly been happy with this meal again and it was delicious! The chefs choice option is so meh. Thanks for bringing it back!

One of our group is Gluten intolerant. The menu for her to choose from was terrific. The rest of us also had wonderful meals. Our wait person also was a dear.
