The Whole Bowl

Alright, this spot is the best lowkey spot I know! Anytime I'm feeling a healthy kick, I always think of this place. Simple & flavorful! service is always quick and efficient! just a great quick bite

Simple healthy meal created quickly by nice people! What more do you need? Not sure what the sauce is (I could look it up I suppose) but it's delicious.

I can here in some of the most dreadful weather so I couldn't enjoy the outdoor seating. However, I could tell that with good weather it would have been a great place to have a quick bite to eat or to enjoy with friends. Despite the weather, the worker was super friendly and we were able yo chat a bit while he was making my bowl due to lack of other customers. For the food it is definitely a comfort food, in terms of all the flavors are very familiar and filling. Despite the simplicity I highly enjoyed it as the weather had me craving a more cozy dish. In all honesty I think it is similar cafe yumm in the general composition of the bowl. However, for the price I thinks its definitely worthwhile.

Yummy food, each time it's consistent in taste and portion. And the gal who works the register is super friendly and fun to chat with! If you're looking for a place to sit, this is not it, but for me it's perfect to-go for work.

Convenient and delicious. $9 for a meal that I can almost never finish in one sitting. It keeps me full for so long, especially when I add my own protein at home. Their sauces are delicious, the food is fresh, the people are SO NICE! Also..... it takes 60 seconds to get your food after ordering.

This place is fantastic! Nothing fancy or trying too hard. The only thing they offer is a 12 or 16 oz bowl of yumminess! 9 ingredients for a fully loaded bowl at $9 and $8.50. The bowl of food is delicious. Brown Rice and beans cooked perfect and seasoned perfect. I learned from the young man at the window that this business has been around for 25 years. Solid business model. We are just visiting from Nevada, but if we lived here, we would frequent this place often. Affordable, simple, and easy on the gut.

I have been eating at The Whole Bowl since they were a lil cart in downtown Portland and I was just a lil punk rock teenager stoked on an affordable vegan lunch. That was 15 years ago now...I don't even live in the state anymore but I still consider The Whole Bowl a Portland staple that I make sure to visit when in town. It is nothing fancy, but it's perfected and done right. It's simple and thats what makes it delicious- the ingredients are straight forward and well executed and the tali sauce melds everything together into warm, nourishing bites of goodness. I have never had a weird avocado. For me it is the perfect power meal that helps me re-energize throughout the day. It is still affordable, the service is straightforward and the locations vary but also keep it simple. These bowls will always hold a special place in my heart.

I got the Whole Bowl with everything and it was very good. I enjoyed the organic and natural ingredients and the rice was especially my favorite. I just wish there was some place to sit because my friends and I sat on the curb.

Pretty good but overpriced for the small bowl of food. Its like a healthy side dish, it tastes pretty good but not great. Service friendly.

Excellent food and service. We order vegan and enjoy the delicious nutritional bowls.
