    Teriyaki chicken with brown rice and crab puffs
    Celia V.

    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!

    Crab Puff

    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).

    Pork fried rice

    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! The pork fried rice has sweet bits of bbq pork pieces and was fantastic , and the Thai tea was the best I've ever had from here . I'll definitely be ordering again and trying more options !

    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

    Rotten Orange Chicken
    InCogNita 7.

    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!

    We ordered at least once a month! We have never been disappointed! They always quote us 45 minutes on delivery and the foods here in like 20 minutes! It is super hot and fresh every time. These are pictures of our order from tonight, but this is generally what we order! Didn't take a picture of my husband's Wong soup but he swears it's spot on !

    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.

Chow fun had the wok hay ( wok air that makes food taste good) and thick slices of velveted beef slices. Pork and chive dumpling and XLB were juicy and moist and delicious with the ginger black vinegar chili oil sauce. I really like the food here and staff moves fast. Great place for a quick lunch.

    Great little dumpling place!…read more The place is small, with limited seating, so be prepared to wait a little, though we didn't wait long! Maybe 20 minutes? The staff was all really friendly which surprised me because I swear they never stopped! They were busy but still kind and attentive! We ordered the spicy dumplings and the Hong Kong Fried Rice! The Boas were good, but the dough was a little thicker than I'm used to. So I felt full rather quickly! The fried rice however, 10/10 NO NOTES!!! Best fried rice I think I've ever had!! Totally worth the drive. Will be back for sure!!

Parking 5/5 Very busy lot, however; we parked at store-front between two places of interest. Atmosphere 5/5 Small quaint women owned Chinese restaurant celebrating 17 years! There were ~ 4 booths on the sides, we sat at two tables pushed together which could accommodate four. Service 5/5 Call-in order and table service. There were several pick-up customers during our lunch who appeared to be regulars based on their conversations. The owner brought us menus from the counter and took our beverage orders giving us a chance to look over the menu. After returning with our drinks she asked if we had any questions and we did. She was very pleasant and helpful. My wife ordered the Egg Foo Young, fried rice and small egg drop soup. I picked the Sweet & Sour Pork, fried rice and the large egg drop soup. Service today was amazing and friendly. Food 5/5 Oh my, all your favorites are on the menu. Our Egg drop soup hit the table in short order and both of us approved, excellent Egg Drop! Onto the entrees My wife's Egg Foo Young arrived first and her plate had several large and fluffy pieces that looked very tasty. It came with the traditional sauce on the side, and fried rice. The owner encouraged me to try some and my fork obliged. OM Gosh, perfectly cooked, wonderful texture and flavor! My dish is my regular go-to when trying new Chinese cuisine. The pork was perfectly cooked, slight crispy which I enjoyed. The S&S sauce was nice as well. I added some of my rice to the mix. Based in both our entree selections I will order these again! Our cook came out to clear our table and we thanked him for a great lunch. $48.35 plus tip for our visit today and we had leftovers too. Egg Foo Young my friends-SYOY!

This place is nothing fancy, but that doesn't matter when you find something authentic! The food is incredible - not too oily, and I appreciated that the fried rice comes in two portion sizes.
