Big Bowl Noodle Bar
Quick info
About Big Bowl Noodle Bar
On Berry St in Liverpool, Big Bowl Noodle Bar cooks its noodles over high heat to carry a charred, smoky "wok hei" aroma through the dish. Portions run large, with a banquet for two option alongside recurring plates like crispy beef, beef brisket, Peking pork and crispy noodles, plus salt and pepper chicken and tom yum chicken fried rice. It runs on a walk-in basis, with staff bringing dishes to the table and clearing plates through the meal rather than a single set course. A mural covers one wall, and tables carry printed notes tucked under the mats. A 10% service charge is added to the bill.

Customer Review Summary
Big portions come up again and again as the defining trait, with reviewers repeatedly describing "big bowls" of noodles and rice as generous, filling and good value. The chicken and sweetcorn soup, salt and pepper chips with special meat and teriyaki, salt pepper chicken, Tom yum chicken fried rice, and dishes like crispy beef and Peking pork with fried rice are singled out as favorites, and several mention fast, friendly service and prices that feel affordable for the amount of food. One reviewer flags an undisclosed 10% service charge added to the bill. Another describes a server who missed a stated dietary requirement, adding prawns to a fried rice despite being told not to, though the owner replaced the dish and the same reviewer notes the male staff were consistently friendly. Repeat visitors describe returning often, treating it as a regular spot for filling, cheap meals.

“It was delicious. Me and my mother went while we were in Liverpool for a day. The food portions were massive and worth the money, it was delicious and very authentic. We enjoyed every bite and the service was wonderful. The restaurant itself was gorgeous. A mural on the wall, the tables with notes under the mats. Honestly stunning . The best Chinese food iv ever had! I enjoyed everything. Thanks so much for the wonderful time!”

“The food is pretty good! the salt pepper chicken and Tom yum chicken fried rice are my favourites. I have been here many times and recommend this to others. However, the lady server today wasn’t listening to my dietary requirements, it seemed like she was rushing with the order. Despite mentioning not to add prawns to my fried rice, it was added. But the owner was quite kind enough to replace it for me. The male staff have a smile always on their faces. Customer service could be improved, especially the lady who was serving today.”

“One of my favourite regular spots in Liverpool. Just proper tasty food, big portions and great prices. Big bowls of noodles, big bowls of rice — simple, filling and really satisfying. It’s basically one of my canteens in Liverpool now. Boss value for money and always worth a visit!”
