Lovely surprise!

This place rocks. I had trouble deciding what to get because all the bowls sounded incredi-bowl 😬 I ended up getting the Albina and the portion was massive! Also had great flavors and tons of chik’n. Would eat here regularly if I lived in Portland.

Pros: Very reasonably priced, Big portions

Big portions, big flavor

Generously portioned salads with great ingredients, friendly service, and unusual flavors. Finally, a place that loves pepperoncinis as much as I do!


Notes: I ordered the Chick’n salad because in that moment, a chicken substitute sounded more interesting than other items that are labeled as soy curls, but the chicken is just soy curls. Not bad, just not noted!

The tip selection window at this self-service spot, starting at 20% and offered at a height I can barely reach let alone change, ain’t it. I’d be happy to pay top dollar for these great salads…it just would be nice to have a a real price.

Broadway Bowl

The Broadway includes garlic tofu, peanut ginger sauce, cilantro, red cabbage, carrots, scallions, and toasted sesame seeds on a bed of jasmine rice. I would have preferred brown rice instead, but I enjoyed it overall, and it was big enough for two meals.

Pros: all vegan, big portions

Friendly service but overcooked rice

I got the burnside bowl, the flavors were on point but the execution was not there. The rice was so over cooked I couldn’t eat it. The soy curls had good flavor but again kind of soggy. I want to give this place another chance because the service was very friendly, it’s in a cute area with lots of outdoor seating and the flavors were good just not cooked right.

Pros: Friendly service

Cons: Soggy soycurls , Overdone rice

Best meal I had in Portland!

Everything on the menu sounded great. I got the Burnside Bowl which contained teriyaki marinated chik'n, roasted garlic cloves, fire breathing dragon sauce, sweet red pepper slaw, carrots, scallions and black sesame seeds on a bed of jasmine rice.

Not too spicy & it was delicious! Also got a side of crispy tofu. Highly recommend!

Pros: All vegan menu with gluten free options , Excellent service , Ample portions

Just what the doctor ordered!

I work as a mover, so I need to eat food that keeps my energy high. Native Bowl came to my rescue today with their delicious Mississippi bowl and a apricot peach iced tea.

Pros: Delicious food & friendly service

Cons: I want everything on the menu but my tummy said no

I got the Buffalo bowl because I love spicy food. It beat all my expectations. Crazy good. Plus, friendly service.

Fresh and delicious bowls

Native bowl offers a variety of bowl options that are full of fresh ingredients and flavorful sauces. Profiles vary from peanut sauce to teriyaki to buffalo and more. Unlike many places, they do not skimp on the vegan protein. Many dishes include a fake chicken (seems like beyond meat) and my bowl was packed full of it!

The food cart area is behind a bar, so you can also pair your meal with a pint (if you’re so inclined.)

my FAVORITE food spot

i go here all the time and i’ve never had a bad experience. when i was first introduced into vegan cuisine, i tried tofu for the first time here, and i’ll never turn back. the people working are always friendly and incredibly helpful and it’s always a fun trip to get the mississippi!

Pros: all vegan menu, affordable

100% Vegan!

Native Bowl is still one of the best vegan food carts in Portland! I visited today & brought along my newly-vegan friend & we both highly enjoyed our meals (he had the Buffalo Bowl & I had the Big Chik'n Salad with teriyaki chik'n). I've always appreciated Native Bowl's commitment to local food sources, their friendly, swift service, & how flavorful & abundant their reasonably-priced food is! I look forward to visiting often.

Guiltless deliciousness!

We stopped in for lunch & our meal was fresh & hot. I chose the Mississippi & it was loaded with cruciferous greens, beans, raw veggies, roasted sesame seeds, & a flavorful sauce with a kick. My husband chose the Albina based on a previous review. He was very happy with the peanutty flavorful sauce over all his veggies, rice & chick’n. Great portions for killing our hunger & good on the wallet too. Cheerful service made this stop a pleasant one!

Pros: good portions , cheerful service , fresh

Cons: parking could be tough

Yummy

I had a spicy bowl there on summer (some moths ago) so cannot remember exactly how it was, excepting that it was huge, spicy and very tasty. The food truck is located outside of downtown, in a residential area, so it may be too far to going especially there, but if you are in the area, do not hesitate to visit them.

Pros: huge and tasty bowl

Cons: location
