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...
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...
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.
They’re dog friendly! 4 of us and our four-legged friend were all welcomed inside by the lovely staff. The service was friendly, quick, and helpful. The food and beer was all delicious! We loved that there were Vietnamese beer options! Pho was great, loads of flavour and plenty of meat and noodles. The summer rolls were also delicious.

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!
Nice little Viet place that we came across! Fancied a soup noodle to warm us up on a cold windy night and it hit the spot! Got the big bowl which was a good portion and the summer rolls which was tasty! Definitely would go back again!
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
Great food Some of the best Phô in Brighton Also recommend their Bun and Vietnamese iced coffee (coffee is very sweet), and their home made lemonade Staff are friendly and helpful
