• Chinese • Edina

There’s really only one place for authentic Chinese and Thai–and that’s Big Bowl. It all begins with the highest quality ingredients–naturally raised chicken and beef, heirloom pork, sustainable seafood and produce grown locally. Because Big Bowl believes that the best food is made from scratch, you can taste big, bold layers of flavors in every dish, from the curries right down to the dipping sauces. Everyone raves about the pad Thai, our spicy dishes that are truly hot, and our create-your-own stir-fry–and for good reason. Every element adds up to big taste and takes our food to another level, be it a fresh squeeze of lime, fragrant herbs or the seared Thai chilies. Big Bowl is so big on authentic flavors that even the ginger ale is made with fresh ginger root–from scratch, of course.

    Always a great experience at Hazelwood; excellent food, attentive and smart service. Timing one's visit is crucial, though, because the restaurant fills at about noon and the noise can be extreme. Still, it is a great place to bring visiting, or curious, friends. We'll be back soon!

    The chicken avocado egg rolls are fabulous. Best flatbread in town - especially the peach prosciutto. Service is always excellent.

    We had a wonderful meal, shared 3 different pizzas (Cubano special, Forager, & Korean BBQ) and each one was delightfully and deliciously different yet completed each other. Our sever was knowledgeable and attentive. The only issue is we were seated too close to the speakers so it was difficult to hear each other. I should have asked to move tables, so that’s on me. Something to be aware of though if you are more than two people.

    What I liked about my experience there was I told the waitress that I had a short time to dine. She efficiently had my food out timely manner. She also expedited so I can pay ahead of time, very accommodating and friendly service.
