Accolades

We’re very proud of the many compliments we’ve received over the years.

In addition to the praise noted below, check out the positive reviews on Yelp.

The New York Times
"The long line of people I observed at this truck confirmed for me the fact that a simple, satisfying meal with grain, protein and terrific vegetables can be worth standing in line for."
Willamette Week Readers Poll
Voted "Best Lunch Cart in Portland"
Portland Monthly"The Best of the City"
Named "Best Lunch Cart" - "...Serves the best movable feast in town - and that's according to veg heads and meat lovers alike."
The Portland Mercury
"My new favorite food cart, the Whole Bowl serves only one thing: a big, hearty bowl of tasty hippie stuff."
guardian.co.uk
"A secret lemon and garlic "Tali" sauce (named by creator Tali Ovadia) has been attracting accolades since the early 2000s."
Hot Off the Quill
"The best and most rewarding experience I have had thus far on my voyage into Portland street food has been The Whole Bowl."
Portland Tribune
"It’s the hot fudge sundae of lunch."
The Portland Mercury
"This tin shed serves up one thing (bowl of beans, rice topped with cheese, veggies, sour cream and the mysterious tali sauce) but they do it SO well. It's addictive I tell you! ADDICTIVE!"
The Northwest Examiner
The 'bowl' is a comforting and healthful mix of brown rice, black and red beans, avocado, cilantro, olives, cheddar cheese, sour cream and cilantro. On the surface, that sounds like the inside of a burrito, but Tali's Special Sauce, a thick lemon garlic, ties all the disparate elements together and gives it an entirely different- and delicious- taste."
Portland Tribune
"After experimenting for a summer, owner Tali Ovadia perfected her 'Tali sauce' and has been building local addictions in the Pearl ever since."
The Portland Lunch Times
After 2 years on the wagon, Ovadia's special sauce has become The Whole Bowl's secret weapon. Even confirmed rice-haters adore the bowl, drenched as it is in the delicately spiced sauce- scientifically developed in Ovadia's test kitchens."
