"This restaurant has a very authentic and local feel, with a casual atmosphere. Don't expect top-notch customer service as our cutlery was thrown on the table and the soup was spicy but not warmed up properly. Some dishes could use additional spices, like the summer rolls, which would benefit from a vinegar-based sauce. However, the special black fillet rice was delicious and the portion sizes were generous. The green Papaya salad was also enjoyable. The prawn crackers were tasty and different from the usual white crackers found at other restaurants. There were some hygiene concerns, as we had to ask for our table to be wiped down and noticed a questionable mark on the walls. Overall, a mixed experience but worth trying for the authentic flavors."

"I was asked to organise a dinner for a group of well travelled managers where I work with 5 days notice. Worried that the Big bowl had misunderstood the booking 2 x 12 people because the drop down menu did not go beyond 12 I visited and saw how small the restaurant actually is. However, they explained they'd allow us to pretty much take over the place last night. Everyone was very impressed with the quality of service and food. Never having visited Vietnam I couldn't say if the food was authentic but it was delicious and pleased the Asians in our group. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Big Bowl. Very nice people, very reasonable prices, capable of dealing with large and small parties simultaneously. Really very impressed."
