Editorial Review for Big Bowl - Galleria – by Annamarie Cumpston
In Short
Don't think of Big Bowl as an ethnic restaurant. It's an American restaurant serving noodle and rice favorites from across Asia. Dishes satisfy contemporary nutritional standards--more carbos and veggies, less meat, which also happens to be a good way to keep prices in the single digits. Popular options are pot stickers, won tons, sesame peanut noodles and wok-seared salmon. There's also a stir-fry bar where you can choose your own ingredients.

I like the food at Big Bowl; a refreshing new take on Eastern cuisine that is far different from the usual mundane Asian restaurant. Very fresh veggies, prepared with some interesting twists. This is fusion food, not the local Chinese or Thai takeout, and should be judged on its own merits. Personally, I think they have the best pad Thai ever, though portion size is smallish for the medium to slightly high prices. That being said, the service can range from okay to really awful. The problem is more with the so-called hosts / hostesses than the waiters. The twenty-something front staff can be really snotty on busy nights, often acting like it's a great favor for them to find you a table despite having reservations. I don't need this kind of attitude and it has limited my visits to Big Bowl, despite my love of their food.
Pros: Wonderful food, innovative tastes
Cons: lousy service, not the best value

Awful place - probably the worst service I have had in years - worst part the host was very rude - they made old people wait to be seated way too long. The food was so Americanized - really banal use of spice! Don't bother go to another restaurant in the area.
Pros: non
Cons: everything
