Highly recommend! My hair stylist actually spoke of this place and ordered from here while I was there. She let me try a bite and it was delicious! This place has a simple menu and because of that everything is amazing. It is technically more vegan forward and no meat proteins. I thought was odd but when I ordered my bowl everything just tasted perfect in unison together. As recommended from my friend I got extra tali sauce with my bowl. I ordered the big bowl (brown rice, beans, cheese, cilantro, sour cream, avocado, & black olives) with no salsa. Amazing. I didn't actually visit the restaurant because I got it delivered to me - so I can't speak on the location. I will say this is something I will definitely order again while I'm in Cincy! This bowl was filling and worth the price! Give it a try! I will say the picture doesn't give it justice but once you take a few bites and mix it up - so good! Also they always fill it up to the tip top!

Vegetarian never taste so good! I feel like I can eat twice as much when the food is healthy! This cones with 2 sizes , no meat and you can personalize the toppings. If you go in Clifton , it's a walk up window and plenty of parking. I was lucky enough to run into them at the Wyoming festival . I was thrilled like a kid in a candy store. Customer service was great they are efficient . The best part is they are consistent so spare your self and get the large . They have the best fillings .

I was in the area about 10 mins away and this showed up as a healthy option so I went. Small menu for sure, if you want a Mexican bowl though it's pretty good! I got the meal deal that comes with dessert, drink and side of chips. I appreciate any healthy food option. I ordered and it came out fast, good service. Would be nice if you could eat there, but it's really just a to go place with 1 outdoor table. That's ok though, I'd come back! granted don't live in Cincy

I remember when I was in Portland years ago and stopped at The Whole Bowl. It was a cold November day, and I just walked away feeling like I ate a warm hug, just like the bowl says. It's basically just black beans, rice, avocado, cheese, olives, cilantro, sauces, and other things that just make taste so freaking good. So when I'm in Cincy and see that the Whole Bowl is also here?! I had to go. It's in Clifton, where UC is. It's just a walk up stand. There are a couple small tables in front along with sauces available. I honestly just picked it up and ate it while I walked up and down the neighborhood. The service was quick. Server wore a mask while making it. So, I appreciated that part. I can't comment on the ambiance because it wasn't a sit down place. The price is hard to beat- like $9-10 I think, I got the 16 oz cup, and it was so filling. Oh how I missed this place. It's a must eat for vegetarians/vegans in Cincy.

This visit was ordained. I was able to pull up in the 10 minute temporary parking spot right in front of the storefront. There was no line so I walked right up to the window. (As an aside, no line meant that I almost tried to walk in the door, not understanding that customers can only use the window). The cashier was completely focused on me so he talked me thru my order and went to make it right away. I was back inside my car and eating in probably 5 minutes. The bowl has many of my favorite flavors: cilantro, olives, avocado, cheese, etc. I was pleasantly surprised by the olives because they weren't listed on the sign...but I love olives so no complaints here! They were out of the vegan hot chocolate so I couldn't try it. Opted for boxed water. I'd like to go back and be stopping in route to home so I can pour my bowl onto a plate and mix everything up better.

It's the fastest place ever for a reliably delicious (and healthy) meal. 75 seconds and done. Cheaper than chipotle.

A great place to grab lunch as a vegan! It truly is comfort food, and quick to grab as it's just a walk-up window. The menu is very small but the food is not something to get sick of fast. Great kombucha as well.

I had this delivered to work for lunch and overall it was really good. The service is basically one type of bowl in three different sizes but there is no meat included. It's really simple and healthy option for lunch. It was priced similarly to Chipotle and felt lighter (not as much oil).

Whole Bowl is slowly revolutionizing healthy, cheap food options by making it taste so good! My friend in Portland would always gush about this place and I had to try this little eatery in Cincinnati. And I was SHOOK! That tali sauce is a KILLER! Rice, beans, avocados, tali sauce, sour cream, cheese, olives, cilantro; all blended into this massive amazement. You can have the bambino or the big bowl, and it would satiate you. This is completely gluten free, and you can skip the dairy in case you are vegan or lactose intolerant. The other thing that impressed me was that they didn't give plastic forks, but disposable wooden ones. Though I'm not sure if the bowl or the lid was biodegradable, I shall see or ask the next time I'm there!

Flavors are very good. The ingredient ratio is inconsistent. The bowl I got yesterday was over 90% rice. There was less than a fourth of a cup of beans. Tasty, but not filling enough for the price or as a complete meal.
