  • "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." The New York Times • Read the full article
  • Voted "Best Lunch Cart in Portland" Willamette Week Readers Poll
  • Named "Best Lunch Cart" - "...Serves the best movable feast in town - and that's according to veg heads and meat lovers alike." Portland Monthly "The Best of the City,"
  • "My new favorite food cart, the Whole Bowl serves only one thing: a big, hearty bowl of tasty hippie stuff." The Portland Mercury • Read the full article
  • "A secret lemon and garlic "Tali" sauce (named by creator Tali Ovadia) has been attracting accolades since the early 2000s." guardian.co.uk • Read the full article
  • "The best and most rewarding experience I have had thus far on my voyage into Portland street food has been The Whole Bowl." Hot Off the Quill
  • "It’s the hot fudge sundae of lunch." Portland Tribune
  • "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 Portland Mercury
  • "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." The Northwest Examiner
  • "After experimenting for a summer, owner Tali Ovadia perfected her 'Tali sauce' and has been building local addictions in the Pearl ever since." Portland Tribune
  • "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." The Portland Lunch Times
