Reasonably good Asian food at a reasonable price. Unfortunately it has the slick feel of being a member of the 'Lettuce Entertain You' chain of restaurants. If you want good cheap Asian food go to Argyle Street. This place is too full of yuppies, given its Gold Coast location.

I was walking in the cold discovering Chicago, and it was cold, very cold! And all I was dreaming of was a nice Vietnamise Pho Bo...when I spotted the Big Bowl sign. The place looks good from the outside, had a look at the menu and decided that was it!

And I was right: they have a nice menu with a good selection of Asian food, especially Thai, Chinese and Vietnamise.

I had a Pho Bo and a Pad Thai, and they were both delicious. I also had some jasmine tea that came in a very nice tea pot. The atmosphere is nice and relaxed, still with a very good style. Service was excellent. Highly recommended if you are shopping in Chicago, or just for a lunch break and I suppose it is pretty good for dinner as well.
