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
