Ate here during a 2018 visit to Liddypool, and this Yankee's been Jonesing for years to get back. Finally got the chance last July. It was every. Bit. As. Good. As I remember! Enormous portions of homey Asian goodness. Get the Big Bowl--that's their namesake. Perfectly cooked noodles, heaps of veg and meat, all bathed in the most savory broth. Staff are friendly and service is prompt. Nothing beats a hot bowl of noodles on a crisp fall Merseyside day. You won't be sorry! read more

Solid place for fantastic Chinese food! Reasonable prices and generous portions too. We shared shrimp dumplings and pork buns. I could have eaten a lot of those shrimp dumplings! They were so good. My husband built what he wanted with chicken satay. I had the Shanghai noodles. It was really, really good. This place is busy so, plan on a short wait. Tables turn pretty quick though. read more

Big Bowl Noodle Bar - Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Liverpool, XMS

Big Bowl Noodle Bar is just like a fortune cookie, looking a little boring from the outside but containing an essential truth that really, you don't know how you lived without. I sense that I'm going to be spending a lot more of my time in here! It looks like your average takeaway but on entering, I quickly realised that it's a modern and fun little restaurant. Reasons I'm coming back: The shared starter combinations are varied and amazingly delicious and morish. Tick! It's got cute personal touches, we were presented with a box of paper hearts to write on which then become part of a collage of love which sit under the glass of your table. Kitsch but I love it. Tick! The staff were dead friendly. 10% Student discount. I think so! The duck in Peking sauce. Good Lord- perfection. Tick! The portions are decent sizes so a friend and I shared a starter platter and a main between us, each got a soft drink and the bill was still under £16. Tick, Tick! P.S. Big Bowl is an understatement, they're more like buckets. You shall get your fill here. Fortune cookie reads, "Aren't you glad you just had a great meal?" Yup! Do you need anymore reasons? Thought not. read more

Before coming to University I am ashamed to say that I had never before visited a noodle bar and now that is an unthinkable thing as I have become something of a fan. My new found love for noodles is credited in no small part to excellent establishments such as Wok It and of course Big Bowl Noodle which really is an excellent place to eat. The location here is perfect just outside of china town and a five minute walk from the centre of the city so convenience is the word here. I ventured in here one day on an aimless wander around the city and found it to be great and they even did a student discount which made them a winner in my eyes every time. The atmosphere here is great also and it feels very relaxed allowing you to really enjoy the excellent food they serve up. I'm no expert on Chinese food so I won't attempt to make recommendations but one that I would make is that you pay this place a visit, you will not be sorry. read more

Big Bowl Noodle Bar - Chinese Near Me - Liverpool, XMS

The Big Bowl Noodle Bar in Berry Street is a cute and attractive looking little restaurant that serves a decent variety of oriental cuisine. On my fisrt visit to this restaurant, I ordered Teriyaki Chicken with plain rice. This dish cost me £5.50 which isn't bad. I was swiftly seated, served and my plate came out within minutes of ordering. However, the waiter forgot to serve my glass of water. Anyhow, the meal portion was generous but I did find the chicken a bit salty and it lacked the sweetness of Teriyaki sauce. The rice also lacked stickiness and wasn't the best of quality. Having said that, I would perhaps give the restaurant a second try as the staff are are a charming bunch and I liked the pleasant dining environment plus all the positive messages written on dainty hearts beneath the glass of each table! read more

Big Bowl Noodle Bar - Chinese Near Me - Liverpool, XMS

This place has moved up the street from its original location. I panicked when I couldn't find it. Good authentic Chinese food (I used to live in China). The salt and pepper tofu, although not a traditional Chinese dish, is so fresh and tasty.. but watch out if you can't handle spice! read more

5 stars! The sole reason for this it's value for money. If you're hungry, like Chinese food and only have £10 pounds in you're wallet look no further. This is the place for you. For under £10 pounds (£6-£8 would do) you get a MASSIVE portion of decent noodle dish of various forms (you will not go hungry). Inside it has atmosphere is lively but sufficiently spacious. Service is also reasonable quick making it a perfect lunch spot. I won't claim the food is the best ever but it's certainly at least good if not better. What I will say is that is could be the best value for money I've experienced. read more

For the record I've never been here, nor will I. Ever. I would never frequent an establishment that doesn't even bother to check the contents of the posts on their wall, providing any person a platform on which to shame, belittle or bully someone. Which in my case was postit which contained my FULL NAME and PERSONAL TELEPHONE NUMBER with the direction to tell me how great my assets are. Disgusting. I don't know how long that post it with my personal information was there, and the person I spoke to on the phone not only didn't even apologise but refused to provide me with his or the managers name, so that when I went to report this to the police they would know who I'd spoken to. Pretty sure i'm not the first person this has happened to, a notion I find absolutely disgraceful. I would NEVER recommend somewhere that take's people's personal security with such a pinch of salt. read more

Fantastic flavor. Taste even better than same dishes in China! Low pricing is also attractive. Happy to find a milk tea sold for only 2 pound!(half of the price in Jidong) . We ordered a lamb noodle and a pork fried rice, though the size of food is enough (even a bit too much), we ate them all!!! Love authentic Chinese Food! U should try it if you want to try some tasty( nor spicy) Chinese Food! read more

The two points are for decor, and presentation, along with staff efficiency. Though I would never eat there again. Got the full meal (with soup, spring rolls & krupuk, and a main course). The hot & sour soup was, for the positive, very nicely festooned with meaty, eggy, and veggie bits. I mostly strained those out of the oddly red soup base and left the rest of the odd red soup broth, even though the touch of vinegar and heat from spice was a welcome start to the meal. The spring roll & krupuk plate is even more of a bare-bones oddity - - a handful of plain old krupuk (that I put in a napkin and put aside for a snack for later) and spring rolls that were like crispy little fingers of strange peanut/pasty nothing, with a sweet sauce. The most insubstantial, small, and innocuous spring roll thingies ever. But the real atrocity was the "chef's special" mains choice - - aubergine and minced pork hot pot. The listing failed to mention that the aubergine and minced pork were awash in a sea of oil. People speak of "hidden fats" in Chinese cuisine, but nothing was hidden here. It looked like a rich brownish sauce, but it was a hideous swamp of vegetable oil. What I tried to do was immerse the spoon in the sauce until the spoon was was full of yellow vegetable oil, and pour spoonful after spoonful of the oil into the remaining red drool from the soup. After doing that for a while, I decided to just pick out pieces of aubergine from the swamp - - but there was no hope - - the aubergine was soaked in oil. They were slimy, oily artifacts of pure fat. The entire "chef's special" was a tribute to the fact, that oil will make you feel like you are eating something substantial, will seem alluring in a perverse fatty way, will gloss the entire meal with a reflective glow, and you can buy it cheap by the gallon. There is only one word to describe this main course, and the word is: 'gross'. I imagine there are people who can eat a big bowl of vegetable oil and be satisfied - - but this is still hideous. I've looked at recipes for Chinese hot pot meals online just now, and the list of substantial ingredients (not to mention tasty spices) WAY predominate over the couple spoonfuls of oil - - but here, this was an oil dish, where oil was the major ingredient, and the insipid oil was the major flavor component - - a complete culinary abomination, and a dietary atrocity. I was actually inspired to go to a Chinese noodle shop after passing by another one on Berry St. the previous evening - - and it looked so alluring - - but that one was closed this afternoon, so I went to Big Bowl instead (thanks to the great reviews on Yelp - - thanks a lot people). The good news (if there is any hope of good news after paying 8 pounds 50 for this conflagration of cheapest ingredients and bare-bones fatty nothingness - - with not even condiments on any of the tables - - they are that cheap) is that I went back to that one the following evening, and it was really delightful, and it redeemed my faith and interest in Chinese noodle shops, after Big Bowl had temporarily made the concept a horrorshow. read more

The Big Bowl Noodle bar instantly became one of my favourite places to eat after only one visit... and I had only gone in there due to being stuck! It was Chinese New Year and, obviously, Liverpool was absolutely packed. I wanted to eat some Chinese food for lunch but every single place had queues out the door. This place did too but we had got tired of trying to find somewhere and just settled on this, both due to proximity and the fact that it seemed to have a lot of Chinese people eating there, which is always a good sign. Oh, it was certainly a find! As the name suggests, this isn't fancy Chinese food - this is more like the sort of thing you'd eat on your lunch break if you were in China. Big, hearty, bowls of noodle soup! They offer plenty of other dishes if you're looking for something else as well such as rice bowls, stir fries and more. For me though, the noodle bowls are most certainly where it's at. You can even get a Tea Stained Egg. There are plenty of drinks on offer but I'm chiefly a Green Tea man so tend to stick to those. They sell Japanese Brown Rice Tea (Genmaicha) which is a personal favourite of mine. The starters we had weren't the best to be honest. I get the impression they were frozen and then microwaved. Now, the rest of the food absolutely wasn't done like this so this is really just a minor problem. Overall this is a great, authentic, cafe-like Chinese restaurant and absolutely worth a visit. I'll definitely be returning! read more

You like noodles? You like 'em generously portioned? You like big bowls of noodles? Well then duh, the title's self explanatory. Situated around Chinatown in Liverpool this Oriental eatery does exactly what it says on the tin, the very Ronseal of Asian cuisine. Here's where you come for that amazing and unique mixture those in the East manage to master - comfort food that feels wholesome and light at the same time. The only time I've ever achieved that in my kitchen is with a big bowl of porridge for example. And I got bored halfway through, so comfort soon turned on me. So settle yourself down for some ramen, udon, soba or wholewheat and enjoy them in the company of soup, meat, fish, veggies or perhaps tofu. This is a cute little canteen style takeaway place that's fast becoming the lunch stop of choice for students and workers in the surrounding area. I found it to be perfectly tasty, and if you're after something quick and easy the food not only slips down a treat but it's great value too. read more

Fast service and nice food. Price is very reasonable. Tried a few times already. Recommend the Hainan Chicken, which reminds me of what I had in China. read more

I walked by this place during the day and it was packed - I knew I wanted to go there for a huge noodle bowl of deliciousness! My friends and I went for dinner and it did not disappoint! The noddle bowls are HUGE which makes this place a great hit for your money. We all ordered the curry noodle soup. it had immense flavor and I loved the chicken crackling on top. Barely half way through the massive bowl I was done - full and happy. read more

When I want something cheap and satisfying I go to big noodle bowl ! It hits the spot

If your a fan of Tokyou, WokIt, Wok&Go ect this place is set to blow you away! The prices are very similar to the others but the quality of food is outstanding!! The set menu for 1 comes to £8.50 and you will be stuffed before you even get to your main course. The hot & sour soup is absolutely amazing! I could eat a meal of it on its own. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! read more

I loved the food i really did but since when do restaurants make the customers tub up their own food for take out I just what xD sorry I work in a restaurant - Master McGraths, Southport and I'm sorry if we did that to our customers they would look at us like we had two heads and probably say something along the lines of 'you are joking right' again lovely food lovely staff just genuinely I was dumbfounded when handed those tubs to 'do it myself' only posting this because I could not wrap my head around it . read more

Omg! I can't breathe after having lunch at this place. I have never seen such a massive meal.

This is one of those places that you would quite easily walk past. It doesn't have the best facade in the world, but the fact that there seemed to be numerous Chinese people frequenting the place was good enough reason for me and a friend to give it a crack. We were not disappointed. If you want fine dining, this is not the place for you. If you want great tasting food, and plenty of it, this is the place for you! We decided to go for the 2 meals for £20 option. This included a soup starter with prawn crackers, which was delicious. I went for the spicy version while my colleague tried the chicken and sweet corn option. We were then presented with a 'combination', that had an array of delicious 'starter' style pickings that would normally have had us satisfied - with main still to come! They included sticky ribs, fried chicken, prawn toast, spring rolls, prawn crackers and a dipping sauce - fan-bloody-tastic. Then came the mains, a crispy beef offering with a mountain of rice and a chicken equivalent - we decided to share them both between us. Thanks The Lord that it was down hill to our hotel, because we were able to roll all the way there afterwards! Anyone who is disappointed with the food in this place needs a taste bud replacement, because it was so good that we went back the night after and did it all again! Deffo coming back here the next time I'm in Liverpool, and would recommend it to everyone I can - brilliant! read more
