Reviews Big Bowl

This is a great restaurant. Waitress Rocky was wonderful. We had a reservation but because of a medical appt we were late. The staff took it in stride and we were seated in minutes. Rocky gave us the spiel on the menu....she knew every menu item and described them to a tee. We placed our orders. As we waited for our appetizer a gentleman came to our table with a complimentary cucumber salad because we were newbies. :) Nummy!!! Our meal came and even tho 2 of our party's meals were too spicy to eat, Rocky took the meals away to have them re-made. Came back very quickly and were much better. We had dessert because we were celebrating my friend's birthday and my retirement. Again very Good! When the check was brought they had comped the 2 meals that went back, and 2 of the desserts! It was a wonderful night, and I will definitely be back. Kudos to Rocky and all the staff at Big Bowl Roseville! Keep up the good food and excellent customer service!!!

I love this restaurant, even though our server served appetizers to folks who were seated well after us, she made up for it by bringing our entrees out hot (for a change). And Brian the bartender knows my cocktail order as soon as we walk in and makes it perfectly. I do highly recommend Big Bowl.

We have never been disappointed with our Big Bowl experiences. Last night, in our group of 6, there were several people who had never eaten at the restaurant. Our server brought out a complimentary appetizer to help them get the full Big Bowl experience. We were celebrating a birthday and the birthday girl received free desert, which isn't as common as it once was, but free deserts were offered to all the diners at our table! Above and beyond! Everyone enjoyed their dinner choices and they all plan a return visit. Great job, Big Bowl!

I eat out at Big Bowl quite often. I like the Asian-inspired food, the comfortable seats and informal ambiance. Yesterday I had late lunch during the happy hour and had the orange-mango sangria with a new spicy noodle item called Blazing Chicken. Both were delicious and my server was actually the bartender, who is really cool and polite.

Had the Shrimp Stir Fry with vegetable fried rice. Oh my, it was delicious! I will definitely go there again. *server was very friendly too

Fantastic service and food for lunch today! Very large portions made for dinner tonight!!

I taught English in Thailand, so whenever I spot a Thai resteraunt, I am ready to go. I was on my way to another resteraunt when I spotted Lisu's. I didn't hesitate to change my plans. I'm very happy with my decision. The first thing you should know is that almost all of the Thai resteraunts in the Midwest are operated by Hmong (Laotian/Vietnamese). The recipes are Thai, but there is a definate Hmong influence on the cooking style. There are a handful of "Lisu" Thai resteraunts, which have more flavour and are more authentic. The Lisu are a very small ethnic group located within Thailand, mostly in the Chaing Mai area. Lisu's is almost hidden in a stripmall next to a Petco. Limited parking. The inside is very clean and spacious. I was greeted right away, seated, and given water with lots of ice. The menu was a take-out trifold on white paper, which made me nervous. There was also a single page laminated Lunch special menu. The lunch menu items were with tofu or chicken only, the serving size smaller than regular menu items. I started with a Thai iced coffee and some chicken satay. The coffee was a little bitter, but it grew on me fast. I ordered a second one with the dessert course. The satay was standard, but the peanut sauce was thick and wonderful, not too sweet. I tried the regular Pad Thai with pork, and lunch special Masman curry with peanut (chicken). I selected medium for spice level. I always check the bathrooms when I dine out, and this was a delight. The strip mall shares an inner corridor and public bathrooms are available. Very close to the resteraunt door. The bathroom was very clean and well stocked, which is rare for Asian resteraunts. The food was not served at medium spice. It was much spicier than it's peers in the midwest. The taste was very good though, texture good. Once I got acclimated to the increased heat from the spice, I really got into it. Possibly the best curry I ever tasted. The server was very quick to get me the check but also adamant that I take my time and enjoy. She never asked if I wanted another drink or dessert, which cost them a star. I flagged down another server and ordered sticky rice with mango. It was served too hot; I almost burned my tongue. Had I been warned, there would be no issue. Once it cooled, it was very tasty. I should mention there is a sign on the door stating credit card transactions will be charged a fee. I had no issue with this as I was notified ahead of time. Overall this place has a lot of potential. New menus, adjusted spice level, and better follow up after the initial order is all they needed. Lisu's Thai Taste 4/5

We went to this place based on the reviews. The service was fast. We were greeted and seated by the server. Food didn’t take long to serve. Tasted good as well. However, I am taking one star off because of the pad thai. The noodles were broken, kinda mushy/overcooked and not pad thai-e at all! Cheese wontons and the beef salad was good, salad was a bit salty for my taste. Food: 3/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Cleanliness: 4/5

Great little hidden gem! Fantastic Thai tea with generous portion of condensed milk and unlimited refills. Huge and fresh, delicious papaya salad with plenty of tomato and peanuts. Pad Lwan with shrimp and pineapple fried rice rounded off a very complimentary lunch. We will be back 😊

All the Thai food tasted great. Orange chicken is 90% deep fried breeding, very greasy - do not recommend.
