The Big Bowl - Menu

Very good food, lovely staff and simple menu. Went with my family and we just had a fantastic experience. 5/5.

I found this through the reviews on Tripadvisor. I thought the food was very good we had chicken wings and summer rolls to begin followed by pho. It’s not a fancy restaurant but if you want delicious food then I would recommend

We had a wonderful time. Staff was very friendly and we felt very welcomed. The place was nice and has a great vibe. The food was amazing. I had pho Hanoi Rump Steak and Summer rolls and oh boy. The broth was so good, steak was excellent and best summer rolls I’ve tried! Can’t wait to come back for more!

I visited Brighton for the day and decided to reserve a table for dinner at The Big Bowl. The food was very good and coming from a family with Vietnamese heritage, I can certainly say the food is authentic and most importantly, tasty! Service was on point and the decor was fresh and modern. Would definitely recommend!

Lovely cosy food, I had the Hanoi rump steak pho which was flavourful and warming but watch out for the green chilli, it nearly burnt my tongue off! However, this was a fabulous meal on the first evening of Autumn, that my boyfriend and I really enjoyed, among the peaceful and homely atmosphere. The homemade lemonade was also very tasty. Will come again :

We went to The Big Bowl before going to a gig. It is quite small and more like a cafe than a restaurant but reservations were available on their website. We both had the bun (one with BBQ pork and the other combo i.e. pork and chicken) and both were fresh and very tasty. We had 3 bottles of beer and the total cost was approximately £36 so very good value. If we are in the area again, we would happily return.

I could bath in the broth!!!! I have a slight addiction to south east Asian food and was recently disappointed with a trip to a chain pho restaurant. This place has restored my faith in uk (Brighton) Vietnamese food. The service was pleasant, quick and efficient. The food was amazing!!! I had tofu and mushroom spring rolls with peanut sauce which were crispy and flavourful the sauce being made a bit more with the sriracha on hand. I then had the house special prawn and tofu pho. Prawns were perfectly cooked not rubbery and the broth was deep and rounded and pepped up with the extra chilli and mint to the side. I was having a day to myself so the window seat to watch the world go by was also...

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 sim...

We had a brilliant dinner here. We had spring rolls and summer rolls for starter, beef pho and vegan chicken pho for mains, and lychee sorbet and black sesame gelato for dessert. The starter was so fresh, and it came with delicious dipping sauces. The main dishes were so tasty, full of flavour and the best pho I’ve ever had! The desserts were so refreshing and finished off the meal perfectly. The service was exceptional, and the atmosphere was really lovely. The restaurant is really beautifully and thoughtfully decorated. If you’re vegan, the staff are more than happy to tell you about the great range of vegan options they can offer. I would wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant! If only...
