Try someplace else with authentic food

by colinsilveira at Citysearch

The Big Bowl serves asian cuisine with an American twist. The food is greasy, over priced and the portions are huge. The food is nowhere authentic and extremely unhealthy with the sodium contents.

You can order a custom bowl (like a mongolian stir fry) with all the toppings and also a chef's recommendation. The place is too noisy, crowded and is ok for aone time visit if you are done shopping at the mall and have nothing better to do in life.

Not recommended

Simply put, the food was not very good. Out of 4 dinners (all completely different), only 1 was actually decent. I have had much better Pad Thai at every other asian restaurant I have ever been to including Vong's Thai Kitchen and other local Thai restaurants. The appetizers were decent however. Service was good, but they had no record of my reservation even though I had the confirmation code they gave me. There was currently a long wait time, but they did get us seated in about 10 minutes. For a similiar experience with good food go to P.F. Chang's. The prices are simliar and I have been there many times and have never been disappointed.

• Pros: Nice atmosphere, good service
• Cons: Food just okay

Great FOOD

by brendisima at Citysearch

Usually crowded but well worth the wait. Food and service are excellent.

Be careful with the spicy dishes, they are SERIOUSLY hot.

• Pros: GREAT FOOD, GREAT PARKING, GREAT SERVICE
• Cons: CROWDED, NOISE LEVEL

We like it a lot!

My husband and I are not from Asia but we like this restaurant a lot. The food tastes very good, and the service is excellent. Our friends and we like to go there often. The only problem is that it is usually crowded, so you have to arrive there with some extra time.

• Pros: Food, Service
• Cons: Crowded

Asian Food for Yuppies

by markp8867 at Citysearch

There are better places to go for Asian food. The food here, especially Chinese food, was not the best. The orange chicken tasted more like sweet and sour chicken as if the chef didn't know the difference. The portion sizes are also smaller compared with other Chinese restaurants.

The big draw here is they encompass most of the Asian cuisine like the popular Japanese and Thai dishes in addition to Chinese. I tried the Pad Thai and that was pretty good. They seem to have a lot of options for vegetarians too.

I wouldn't recommend this as a great restaurant. If you are dining with people who have different tastes for Asian food or are vegetarians, then this might be a good alternative. But if you are looking for the best Asian food at reasonable prices, then stick with your local favorite Chinese or Thai restaurant.

• Pros: Pro-vegetarian, Several cuisines
• Cons: Not the best food, High prices, Yuppie central

Design your own meal at this popular, casual Pan-Asian restaurant.

In Short
Intimate lighting and an open, casual atmosphere draw diners of all ages to this friendly Asian spot. Customers design their own stir-fry from an array of veggies, meats and sauces, then wait while it's cooked and delivered to their table. The lengthy menu also offers a variety of Thai, Cantonese and Szechuan items, from shrimp rolls and teriyaki chicken to kung pao beef served with roasted peanuts.

Not for asians

by jopa82 at Citysearch

If you're asian, don't go to this restaurant...you'll be offended. If you're not asian, trust me when I say that you can get much better asian food than this place. It may look like a nice place, but the food to be honest, just sucks. Whoever is running the kitchen doesn't know how to cook asian food.

Try StirCrazy at woodfield mall next door....much better!
