This place did everything right. Now it is going to be my go to Chinese takeout place. It's pretty close to work and was very fast. Excellent quality and you get your money's worth! The shrimp was cooked and seasoned well. I was born near the sea and find it difficult to find places that cook seafood right. Strongly reccomend the pad thai at this place. read more

This place is great. The food is good priced, tastes really good, and came out fast and hot. The service was phenomenal. She sat us, brought out our food within a few minutes of being seated, got us to-go boxes before we asked, and bagged up our food after we had put it in the to-go boxes. Very friendly staff, good tasting food, fast and hot. Would recommend this restaurant for good priced, fast and yummy Chinese food. read more

Big Bowl Restaurant - 12. Sesame Chicken Lo Mein House Special Fried Rice - Chinese Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

My son and I ordered chicken fried rice and carb puffs. Loved the rice. It had white meat and tasted fresh. The crab puffs were more on the sweet side and didn't care for them but we will be back to try other items. read more

No one wears maks here font mind the cashiers but the cooks come on . And cashier guy had an attitude about it

This is by far my favorite Chinese food joint! This place deserves ALL the stars in the Universe!

Very delicious order was made right the first time food was hot fresh. We will definitely be back again.

Really disappointed. I used to love coming to this place. It was such good value and the food was so good. You could tell that the previous owners took such pride in everything. Today my husband and I came in and it looks like you can only get combos during lunch now. The food was still ok but not like it used to be. The peppers and onions in my meal were rubbery and just did not seem fresh. The owner's kids were screaming in one of the booths. I had to go and get more napkins because they gave us one - to share, I guess?? Not sure if we will be back. The value just isn't as good for what we got today and the food wasn't as good. read more

For a dirty looking place, the food is awesome you need me about 10 years on and off never had a problem never had an upset stomach I just tried not to look around too much when I'm in there cuz things just don't look clean but you know what I keep my mouth shut and the food is good read more

When you order com pow chicken it's not supposed to have tomatoes in it. It's a Mexican Chinese restaurant. No peppers hot peppers just tomatoes. Yuk. read more

We order big bowl usually twice a month (sometimes three or four times haha) because it is so good! We order the sweet and sour chicken, sesame chicken and orange chicken. These are our absolute favorites but we have ordered more of the menu and enjoyed everything. The staff here are very friendly and helpful. We get food delivered sometimes and the delivery drivers are always friendly as well. Highly recommended. read more

Great service. Wide variety of choices on the lunch special menu, which includes rice, noodles, soup, and egg roll. Great price. Enough food for two meals. Lovely Thai Tea. Fresh and right amount of spice. Highly recommend this little place. read more

This place was the closest to our house so we took a shot in the dark and decided to try it. The place was superrrrr busy and super clean (both great signs) everyone was super nice too! When we got home and finally tried out food, let me tell you, it is astonishing!! This place has the best food! I got the pot stickers and they have a little sweet taste, I love it! We also got the chicken fried rice, and the chickens quality is unbelievable! We will most definitely be going back! P.s this is my first yelp review... if that doesn't tell you how good this place is then I don't know what will read more

This place is the bomb.com First off let me tell you I'm new to Arizona and I haven't found a good Chinese fast food place UNTIL today! Yo they were so friendly, they treated my family with such kindness, the waiter dude was super patient with us and very helpful the cooks threw it down in the kitchen the food was so amazing! Very great experience We sure will be going back here! And they weren't all stingy with the sauces! read more

Was a loyal customer for over a year until today. EXTREMELY annoyed with whoever handled my call. I ordered two meals and an appetizer. One of the meals was advertised with soup and noodles for the soup. I called like I should've to let them know the mistake so I could receive a credit or refund. The first woman I spoke to said they cannot bring me the soup because whatever (I couldn't understand her) reason. She didn't even offer a credit or nothing just wanted me to roll with it. I was not having it. I ordered something specific and I want it, or I want my money back. OR SOME KIND OF ACCOMADATION. Then she puts me on the phone with a man who refuses to let me speak until he hears BAD REVIEW. Then immediately says he can deliver the soup. Tried using covid as an excuse too like bro really? Poor and unsatisfactory customer service and they have EFFECTIVELY ruined our relationship and I will no longer be ordering from their establishment. The rest of the food was alright. Considering how upset I got from how little they cared I didn't get to eat my meal right away. So it wasn't as fresh as I would've liked it. Something I've held off on reviewing is their lo mein and portion inconsistency. The lo mein is poorly flavored and thin and very over cooked most of the time, and When I order my meals either come in a black smaller container or the white Styrofoam container most places use. The issue is i order the same size every time. So why is the portioning different.? Consistency is nice and comforting. When you send food in a different container every other time its confusing, misleading and poor practice. I hope you improve and have a happy new year. read more

Ive eaten here for lunch a couple of times. Once I got their orange chicken lunch special, another I got the beef with broccoli and snow peas. Their egg rolls are great, portion sizes are huge, even for their lunch specials. Both entrees were top notch. Also got the hot and sour soup, which was really good, and the egg drop soup. The egg drop wasn't the best I've ever had, but it really hit the spot. I'll definitely be back since there is absolutely no reason not to go. Realky goid foid and teally good prices. read more

Maybe a few years ago it was delicious but yesterday we ordered a big order for my birthday and it was disappointing and nasty. 4 people got tummy aches right after throwing it in the trash. read more

They are usually generous but last order was skimpy, not up to par. I called to ask why they never called me back!

So friendly and so good! My husband has been raving about this place since we moved from Arcadia and had to leave behind our last "favorite" spot. He was spot on with his recommendation and we will be back! read more

Friendly and fast service! This is our GO TO for a delicious Chinese w fix! Consistently fresh, cooked to perfection every time we have placed an order! We even brought some to the nurses at my grandmothers care center and they all loved it too, even grandmas eyes lit up when she took her first bight of the orange chicken. Love the egg rolls , rice an lo mein as well. Thanks for making great food Big Bowl! Great value and portions make this a no brainer in choosing a great Chinese cuisine. read more

The food here is so good I have tried their Orange chicken, Beijing beef, Mongolian chicken, shrimp fried rice, and spicy Edamame. All these plates have been delicious and I keep going back to try more plates. The size of the food is reasonable as well so worth the money. read more

One meal and I'm sold. This is where I'm getting Chinese takeout every time. The food was great all around. Big portions, outstanding quality for big dinner combos in the $9 range. The interior and location are a little scruffy. Who cares. Friendly staff, great cheap Chinese. I'm done going to the black-and-white bear/not bear. read more

This place is Chinalicious! We ordered a bunch of dinners for delivery. It was a $3 fee for delivery. They said 45 minutes, but 20 minutes later my door bell rang with the delivery! I was able to pay via card because the delivery driver had a card reader in hand! Food was delicious! Omg I want to bathe in their lo mein. read more

My husband and I are not picky eaters and he threw his teriyaki chicken out, my General tso chicken was just ok, kind of mushy. His Teriyaki chicken tasted like it had a bunch of cinnamon or Allspice dumped in it, wasn't even edible. My lo mein wasn't anything special either. We've gotten better Chinese food from the Safeway deli. read more

Very hard to find an egg drop soup that I like, and I was so pleased to be able to find it at Big Bowl. Their combination plate is a deal - comes with so much food for such a good price. read more

Big Bowl Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

This place took a huge dive! First, the service: the driver charged me $16 more than he should have. He knocks on my door as I'm opening my food and tells me he gave me the wrong bag. He was unable to refund me and wanted me to pay an additional $24 for my food. I told him absolutely not as he was not charging my card $64. I took my food and went inside. Halfway through my meal another knock where he figured out how to issue a refund and wanted me to sign another receipt. Fine whatever. Honest mistake. Now, the food: I ordered the curry fried rice which on menu said it had pineapple in it which was why I ordered it. Zero pineapple. Zero. Basically unseasoned chicken, rice and zucchini. I threw it away. I also ordered pad Thai. It was boiled noodles with a TON of onions and soy sauce. Nothing even close to your typical pad Thai. I force fed myself because I was starving. Still tossed half of it away and I looove leftover Thai food. So disappointing. I should have ordered 24 cheeseburgers from BK, ate 3 and gave the rest to the homeless. Get it together big bowl! read more

Everything a you could want from a neighborhood Chinese Food spot! The owners are always here and extremely nice. The food is fast, and super tasty. Big Bowl reminds me of an East Coast takeout spot. Love it. read more

Up until last week I liked this place. Ordered vegetable lo mein and chicken lettuce wraps. Lo mein noodles weren't authentic, they were basically spaghetti noodles. No flavor. Hardly any vegetables. read more

Simple and easy. Always a pleasure to eat there or take out. We love it. Nothing fancy, just consistent

We have lived in the area for a couple of years now and have tried many different Chinese restaurants some good and some not so good. And I'm not easily impressed but Big Bowl has exceeded all expectations. The Spicy basil house lo mein was amazing. Definitely will become our go to restaurant. read more

I finally tried this place today and the staff was friendly, the restaurant looked really nice and new on the inside so I was optimistic about giving the place a shot. I gotta say I was not at all impressed with the food. The food was bland and I was disappointed that I tried it. We ordered 2 lunch combos, Mongolian Beef and Sweet & Sour Pork both with all Lo Mein (an extra $1 each meal) The Mongolian Beef no flavor and the Lo Mein which was an extra charge, was nothing more than spaghetti noodles with soy sauce, no veggies of any kind. The Sweet & Sour Pork was decent and the frozen spring rolls were ok. Nice place they just need to work on their food and recipes. China Rice just down the street may not be as pretty but the food is pretty darned good. read more

Love this place , always come for broccoli and beef. Also the staff are very kind and friendly. Totaly recommend it!

This place is so freaking good, warm, and the containers are the best thing in the world! 5 stars! Hope to see this place grow as a company. Thank you! read more

It was late at night and this was one of the few restaurants still serving. The staff was extremely friendly and the food was delicious

This is my new go-to restaurant for great Chinese fast food. When we pulled up to the restaurant I will admit we had some trepidation - the sign was washed out from the sun on one side and the parking lot was empty. When we entered the woman at the counter was incredibly welcoming and excited to take our order. My girlfriend ordered Iced Tea. The restaurant brewed hot tea and then poured it over ice! Incredible! We ordered fried pork wonton, egg rolls, sweet and sour pork and mongolian beef (extra spicy). As we sat down and waitied for our food, many orders were coming in over the phone and people were dropping in to pick up their food. That made me feel a little better because we were still sitting in an empty restaurant. THE FOOD ARRIVES! All the food was placed in to-go boxes, and we could serve ourselves on styrofoam plates. The sweet and sour pork was crispy, and the mongolian beef was spicy. Large pieces of beef that I really enjoyed. All of the vegetables were at the top of the container, so really get in there to get a mix of everything. The egg rolls were pretty standard, and it really takes a lot for an egg roll to wow me. Pork wontons were crispy and delicious. The walls are decorated with A ratings from the health department. They are very proud of them. I'm so happy we took the word of other yelpers and gave this place a try. We'll probably choose pick up or delivery in the future though - even though we enjoyed our dine-in experience, we were alone in there for most of our meal. read more

I ordered from the lunch menu and before I could fill my drink cup my food came out. Not a good sign. Means it was done and sitting back there. Got spicy mushroom chicken. It was not spicy at all. So it was disappointing. The chicken was served hot in temperature but the rice and noodles were just room temperature and just no flavor. The egg roll was not made in house it was like the frozen ones you buy that the shell is crisp but mushy inside no real spices. The egg drop soup which is one of my favorite soups was not seasoned either and not a lot of eggs and no veggies at all. So it cost 15 dollars for lunch which if it had been good would have been ok but I left the soup the noodles most of the rice and half of the chicken. I left hungry. They did ask if I wanted a to go box I declined. Why can't restaurant use real garlic , ginger and spices rather then jarred sauces. If the menu says spicy it should be spicy and it should not be made ahead and served in one minute. It needs to be made fresh. Sorry but I won't be back. read more

Ugh this place looked promising. Unfortunately Yelp failed to deliver hot food. Nothing a microwave can't fix but it's a little heartbreaking paying a premium for a delivery service and receiving sub-par food. (Food is great it just arrived cold) hopefully next time will be better. Thank you BBR read more
