Big Bowl Schaumburg
My wife and I had a nice lunch at the Big Bowl! The restaurant feels upscale, yet it also is relaxed. There is a full bar, and the restaurant is deceivingly large! I will say, the restaurant lacks natural light so it feels like nighttime no matter what time you go (that isn't a big deal to me). It does make for a nice date night spot! The food was very good, and the portion for the lunch special was generous. I was very pleased with the experience and would definitely come back for dinner!
I haven’t been to Big Bowl in a long time. I must say this visit was a bit disappointing. Pros: food was hot, and there was a quick turn around time from the time we ordered until the time we received our food. The pomegranate ginger ale is still delicious. Very refreshing. If you like freshly made ginger ale, this drink is a must try. I have no complaints about service. Cons: They now charge a surcharge. It was completely unexpected. I don’t remember seeing any mention of it on the menu. I noticed it on the bill. Surcharges automatically applied to the bill is a red flag and a bad business practice. I understand rising costs, but customers bear the brunt of these costs. Transparency is key. At least apprise me ahead of time or leave space on the receipt to allow me to accept it or not. Charging it and expecting the customer to dispute it is just poor customer service. It’s not convenient for the customer. The convenience is for the restaurant, especially when people don’t bother to dispute it or ask to have it removed. Another con is the selection for the kid’s menu. My son is pescatarian. He could only order the buttered noodles. Trust me, this dish sounds better than it tastes. Literally, wet noodles no sauce. Lastly, my pad Thai was NOT good. I couldn’t taste the pasta only beansprouts. Lacking in flavor. Appetizers were decent. I went during happy hour and paid 50 bucks for one adult, 1 kid’s meal, and two appetizers. I appreciate the happy hour menu and would recommend ordering from that menu. The appetizers were better than our meals.
Wow Bao - Schaumburg
Got delivery and was looking forward to some Chinese. Got the orange chicken and some fried rice. By far the worst orange chicken I’ve had ever. Idk what kind of chicken they used but it was dry as can be. The orange sauce wasn’t evenly coated on the chicken. The fried rice was very oily and went even fried. Think twice before ordering from here. This place is a disgrace to Chinese food. If I could give negative stars I’d give it a -5 star. TERRIBLE
if you’re reading the review to see if it is worth it to order here, this is your sign not to ! Bao bun has hair in it and all of them taste the same. Not good. Our orange chicken with fried rice was barely sauced and tasted like school food only worse and burnt. The fried rice was bland and had no flavor so all you taste is burnt chicken. 0/10 would not recommend!!
