I love whole bowl. I used to go to the one in Brooklyn and when I was visiting Portland I saw that they’re still open here. It always hits the spot perfectly

Kind of like the old model T. You can have any color you want as long as it's black. They have one dish here, and they do it very well. I'm a meat + sugar lover, but they managed to still satisfy me pretty well. They've got a unique sauce, and you can top it with more (like sriracha for instance). Even have a gluten free chocolate chip cookie to finish things off with!

They take gluten free seriously here.

The food is fresh and tasty. Not a ton of variety but if you like yummy bean and rice bowls that are definitely Celiac safe, this is the place.

I recently moved away from Portland, and Whole Bowl is the thing I miss most about living there. I used to drive all the way across town from Hillsboro to the Hawthorne Bowl on Sunday’s to get my fix. Just a tasty and healthy meal any time of year. (Hot tip - its only 50 cents for extra Tali sauce, always worth it!)

One of my favorites. Their signature tali sauce is AMAZING. Plus: you can ask for the bowl "veganized," which means no cheese or sour cream.

Sooo yummy! And you can make it vegan by not adding the sour cream (too bad there's not a tofutti option for that). But great for the starving GF person...which I was desperately hungry when I found this.

This place is great. My partner and I were visiting Portland and searching everywhere for a place to eat breakfast that wasn’t insanely busy. Eventually it was past breakfast hours and we were frustrated and hangry. Grabbed two bowls from the whole bowl and it tasted so good. Super filling too, didn’t need to eat anything for the rest of the day. Definitely going back next time we’re heading home from the city.

I didn’t actually get the chance to eat here, but supposedly dedicated, gluten-free. I would not consider it dedicated gluten-free since they do not use certified gluten-free ingredients, i.e. the soy that is in their sauce, they could not guarantee that it was gluten-free soy, and the salsa that they use has distilled vinegar in it. Most distilled vinegar is corn-based which means that it’s cross contaminated. I always get sick from things like this, so had to decline eating here even though I had driven over here, especially to eat here close to my doctors appointment.
