service was great, our waitress was a very nice lady. unfortunately, the food was below par. we ordered the lemon chicken and Beijing beef. lemon chicken should be called lemon donuts bc the dough is extremely thick and soft and sweet and there's barely any chicken inside. the tangy lemon flavor is good however. beijing beef was incredibly sweet.. TOO sweet, with TONS of sauce. we were wiping the sauce off. they could use 1/8 the amount of sauce and it would be better, and add some salt & spice to balance out the overpowering sweetness. just overall very syrupy and sweet. if you love your food incredibly sweet, then this place may be for you. i think the fried rice or hong kong pan fried noodles would have been a safer option, but i won't come here again to try it. read more

Big Bowl Restaurant - we ate most of the beef, however it was in a bowl of syrup sauce! way too sweet - Chinese Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Proportion size is good pretty good. The food was fresh and hot when we went to pick up. They do offer delivery, which not many places do anymore. read more

Big Bowl does this big back right! I have had it several times now. The food is always hot and fresh, even when ordered for delivery. The crab puffs are amazing! Perfectly cooked to where it has a nice, crispy outside, with a delicious soft and warm inside. They never taste like they have been cooked in old oil. In this order, I also got the teriyaki chicken with brown rice. Everything was delicious! I've also had the shrimp fried rice, orange chicken, and Kung pao chicken. All great choices! Very friendly service as well. I've never eaten inside , usually just get it to go. But it did look nice and clean inside. Highly recommend! read more

Big Bowl Restaurant - Teriyaki chicken with brown rice and crab puffs - Chinese Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

My family and I visited this restaurant for a pickup order after driving 20 minutes based on the great reviews. Since we do not eat out very often, we were really looking forward to this meal. I ordered a half tray of sweet and sour chicken with white rice, but when we got home, we realized there was no sweet and sour sauce included. Without the sauce, the meal was essentially just chicken nuggets and vegetables. My husband called the restaurant hoping to find a reasonable solution to the issue. Unfortunately, the manager was extremely rude during the conversation and ultimately hung up on him when he politely asked about the possibility of a refund for the inconvenience. We were very disappointed not only by the missing item, but especially by the poor customer service we received afterward. We will not be coming back to this restaurant read more

Trash ordered the Mongolian beef had four pieces of beef and about 1 and 1/2 onions worth of onion The guy sitting across from us ended up complaining that there was a pebble or small rock in his food and they didn't give a crap took it and threw it That the chow mein was spaghetti noodles a little al dente just not a good experience read more

My family and I have been coming here for years, and it never disappoints. Everything is always delicious, but the lemon chicken is definitely a standout--it's one of my favorites. They're also incredibly consistent. In all the time we've been ordering from here, they've never once forgotten an item, which says a lot about how well they run things. This is easily our go-to spot for Chinese takeout. Always reliable, always tasty. read more

Solid Chinese food at a great price--Big Bowl is that low-key gem you wish you found sooner. Let's talk highlights: the crab puffs? Unreal. Crispy on the outside, but the inside is creamy, rich, and flavorful in a way most places don't get right. I could easily take down a dozen. They're not just a side--they're the moment. The General Tso's Chicken was another win. Crunchy, saucy, and just the right mix of sweet and spicy. Not too greasy either, which I appreciate. Paired it with fried rice and felt like I had a full feast for a steal. Fast service, big portions, and food that hits the spot--Big Bowl does exactly what you want a casual Chinese spot to do. I'll definitely be back for more (and yes, I'm ordering extra crab puffs next time). read more

I ordered delivery from here on DoorDash, the food was done quickly, and everything was still hot and fresh upon arrival ! Everything I got was flavorful ! The lo mein was garlicky and perfectly cooked on the side of my general Tso chicken which was great as well!

I'll definitely be ordering again and trying more options ! read more

We pass this place all the time and the parking lot is always full so we figured we would go in and try. We were not disappointed. we ordered Wor Wanton soup and NY Style Chicken Chow Main. It came with rice and crispy noodles. The chow mein was GREAT! The white rice was cooked to perfection, not too moist and just dry to my liking. the Wor Won Ton soup was ok, but could have been better using a chicken stock instead of beef. the wontons were hand rolled and used a heavier noodle. they were ok but I would have enjoyed a little different taste. the soup also lacked boc choy, parsley, sliced pork and more mushrooms. Over all, the meal was tastey and we will return again. Jeff AzcameraReviews read more

Very good Chinese food. It was very fast to get your food, but lots of tables and no hurry to eat. Good prices. Very good War Wanton soup. Sandra our server was very attentive and helpful. read more

Everything we got was on point. We did the delivery route and food came a few minutes early and still hot. Would highly recommend.

Upon arrival I was met by a withered woman with a nasty temperament who literally snatched my card out of my hand! While deep breathing & contemplating walking out, I decided not to respond in kind. After a few minutes of me sitting in what looked more like a storage unit than a restaurant, she made me aware that my food was ready, rolling her eyes in silence upon my "thank you." To my horror upon returning home, I discovered a rotting orange slice in my food & no plasticware in sight. Hopefully my garage can enjoyed the lunch special! read more

Great portions! I got a med lo mein, med shrimp fried rice, sweet and sour chicken, crap puffs and a soda for $42! It's a super great deal for 2 people I got to take some home! Would recommend that for 3-4 people so much food but soooo yummy! Super friendly too! read more

4.5 Stars... I've been meaning to try this spot for a while so I stopped by tonight. The team members greeted me promptly as I walked through the door & were friendly. I ordered to go & got the Spicy Basil House Lo Mein with Fried Rice. The order came out fast & hot. When I opened my meal in my truck to eat it I noticed there was no fork or chop sticks which was a bummer so I had to grab a fork from Circle K. I was pleasantly surprised at how good my Lo Mein was, the ingredients seemed fresh, the cuts of meat weren't fat, ligaments, or questionable. It also had a bunch of grilled jalapenos in it which definitely added to the flavor. The only reason I docked them a 1/2 star was the lack of any sort of utensils & the $1.50 upcharge for fried rice was a mistake, the fried rice was absolutely flavorless, even after adding soy sauce (I'll stick with white rice next time & save myself the $1.50 & disappointment.) I will definitely be back & I want to try their lunch specials. read more

The best take-out! The quality and flavors are so balanced. Delivery is quick and professional. read more

Absolutely an amazing find! My friend introduced me to this amazing "hole" in the wall. Do not let the outside fool you because as soon as you step in this delicious Chinese spot opens up to a sea of tables and a big screen TV. The menu is extensive with a mix of appetizers, entrees, and teas. I decided to get their white meat chicken with vegetables. It came out pipping hot so fast from the welcoming lady at the counter. The food is not overly salty and has tons of flavor. I added a little Sriracha for some heat and wow, it was on until my stomach said stop! Chinese makes amazing leftovers and this was good a few hours later even cold! I definitely will come back! read more

Did not like the Chicken egg rolls, prefer the pork ones myself. The Mongolian Beef was very tasty.

I have Two favorite Chinese food restaurants and my favs at this one are lemon chicken, egg drop soup it has No tofu, Mongolian beef, sesame chicken, the wings and that they sell trays of rangoons with like 24 and aren't stingy with the sauces! They also still do regular home delivery without you having to pay extra fees, but you can use whatever food service app you want also. read more

Good basic chinese food. Fast service, friendly staff. They definitely fill the need for chinese food in east Mesa.

Probably the worst I've had since moving to Arizona. I had beef with mushroom and string bean and my daughter had pad Thai. We also ordered some appetizers that were basically okay. But as far as the entree goes terrible no flavor very watery it was such a waste of money never again. That's $55 down the drain only for a lesson to be learned. I should have trusted my instincts but I didn't because we're new to the neighborhood and wanted to support local business but never again. read more

Literally, the voice Chinese food I have eaten or tried to eat in a long time. This place is so ridiculous and they offer this crappy food that is really really bad. The Mongolian beef is nothing but onions and some strips of very very tough shoe leather beef. Like old bubblegum, you cannot get it down and you have to chew for like 15 minutes. Very bad, At $16 it's not worth it at all. Avoid this place... read more

Big Bowl Restaurant - Boba - Chinese Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Food was horrible 70 on takeout and all of us thru our dinners in garbage.Do not eat here.

Ordered Kids Big Bowl Orange Chicken, Fried pot stickers, and ham or worked fried rice. I can tell you I was beyond upset to see that the chicken in the orange chicken was old and hard. They reporbosed chicken and it was terrible. Do not do that old hard crusty chicken, bread it and add orange sauce and try and pass it off to children? Nope not good. read more

Got the orange chicken and the white rice meal, nothing about this meal was appetizing. The rice was dry like undercooked and the orange chicken had zero flavor. Not a fan favorite read more

The food was delicious and they're not stingy on the servings as well. Good quality food. I would recommend to anyone to eat here.

Food is great prices are great location great nice dining area owner's courteous consistent good service over 20 plus years. Bowls sent to multiple wrestling matches read more

OK Mesa, I am starting to like you better. One of my biggest complaints over my 5 years of being here, is no good Chinese food. I got a mailer for this place and have passed it many times. I checked the reviews and they were great. Still not convinced, as I have gone to others with great reviews and been unimpressed. The ambiance is not great, but who cares? Most of us order takeout anyway. I only ordered one dish (with trepidation), Cashew chicken with lo mein. It was excellent! Noodles done perfectly (No veggies in them) and the cashew chicken was flavorful, full of veggies, chicken and cashews. I am extremely pleased. My next mission will be to check out the other dishes. I have found a couple places that make one dish well and the others not so much. Or, the sauces taste exactly the same in every entree. Big Bowl, you hit a home run on the first pitch, I am hoping your other offerings are just as awesome. I look forward to seeing you soon! read more

As everyone seems to say, LARGE portions of delicious food, spicy but mildly so, could use a bit more heat, and very large portions! General prices are usually lower than the competition. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Will be my favorite. at least for the near future. ! read more
