    I recommend this place for a quick bite. This is not a date night vibe place. The calamari was not something I liked but the Green Curry with tofu was delicious. Drinks are subpar could have been better.

    Our several was terrible! We’ve never been so embarrassed at a restaurant. She was humiliating us in front of other patrons. Extremely terrible service by her. She was racist and treated us very rudely from the time she sat us at the table to asking for kids menu to ordering our food etc. she was plain rude and nasty. We still treated her well by tipping her when she didn’t deserve it. We’ve been coming to Big Bowl for almost a decade and a half at the Schaumburg location and never have been treated this rudely.
