A wide selection of tasty noodles, delivered quickly at a sensible price. Good veggie options too. Cafe rather than restaurant style. Nothing fancy about this place but the food, while not being gourmet quality, is well made and tasty, service is prompt and friendly and the punters keep on coming, despite the area being packed with other food options. Recommended for lunch when a bowl or plate of noodles is what's required to hit the spot.
We really struggled in Chinatown, first to find a restaurant that was open (it was past 3pm) and then to find one that had even one vegetarian dish. After at least 45 min of window shopping, we were at Big Bowl's doorstep. Their menu had plenty of stuff and we just crashed in exhausted. The point of the lengthy introduction is that if you have dietary (or budgetary) restrictions, please just head here directly. Their combo meals are plenty of food for 2 (big bowl indeed). The veg chopsuey I had was a satisfying dish of noodles and steamed veggies. They didn't skimp on the exotic veggies like cheaper places tend to do. The green apple virgin mojito was too sweet but refreshing nonetheless. An easy choice in Chinatown!
Everyone has their go to place when no particular places have been decided on or prior reservations made. Over the last few years Big Bowl, situated on Berry Street in Liverpool has been my go to place. As close to a Hong Kong style café as you can get along with Café de Pearl on Bold Street (which I don’t rate as highly as Bog Bowl) it offers good quality grub at a very reasonable price, as long as you know what to order. Being of Chinese ethnicity I would probably only ever order the Western take on Chinese food such as sweet and sour pork, lemon chicken etc about once in every hundred visits to Chinese restaurants. Whilst there are other delights to be enjoyed I still get the odd pankering for them along with the classic crispy duck (recently overtaken in my books by Peking duck after a visit to Hong Kong – post to follow). Whilst the official title of the restaurant includes Noodle Bar, it is the rice dishes that have become my favourite comfort meals. One of my absolute favou
We just love a Hong Kong style cafe. This one in particular has such a vast menu. We found the food tasty and authentic. I wish I could go there more often but I live 5 hours away!
Nice service, great food and portions. Very well priced. The atmosphere is a bit outdated and lacking.
Lovely meal ❤️ very generous servings. Usually restaurants slack late at night but not here, faultless.
Great variety of options on the menu, friendly staff. Ordered the dry and soup big noodle bowl, had lots of ingredients, delicious chilli oil.
Propper Chinese restaurant. Some fantastically different choices on menu. Five of us ate here every dish was superb. Lots of Chinese people eating here which proves how good food is. Looking at other peoples meals all of which looked amazing, difficult to know what to choose. Thankfully this will mean several more visits to make sure. Finally great prices
Authentic cantonese food. The cold lemon and stir fried beef hofun are simply terrific. Nice staff and speedy service.

Food is always spot on and fast service. Only British is older gentleman spits as he talks which can be off putting when ya food is in front of you. Appreciate he doesn't mean it he's a nice helpful guy. But maybe a quiet considerate word may help.. other than that fantastic place too eat
Lovely food as always. We've been coming here for the last 10 years and it's still our favourite sit down Chinese.
Popped in Wednesday evening before the derby match for the set banquet. £12.50.
Had vegetables spring rolls, prawn crackers, sweetcorn soup then sweet and sour king prawns with fried rice. The quality of the food was superb and the staff are super friendly. Possibly the nicest sweet and sour king prawns I have ever had and the soup spring rolls prawn crackers and fried rice were fab as well. Highly recommend this little gem. Possibly my 50th visit always good food and service
Met friends there , the service was excellent, although I think either our order was forgotten or misplaced, they got our food sorted, and everything was put right, the food in there is excellent, staff are brilliant and it hasn't put me off going again, maybe next time I'll try another day of the week or another time, it's busy in there and it's very lively
UPDATE
Went back today, absolutely perfect, everything, food, service, absolutely everything, can't recommend the place highly enough, Go There,
