Native Bowl

Genuinely some of the best food I’ve had in Portland. The tofu was perfectly cooked, the sauce was tasty and plentiful, the veggies were fresh. It’s a shame that the cart is tucked away in a corner because they really should be front and center!

Stopped by the carts to see what was available. Thankfully everybody was open! Especially thankful for a 100% vegan menu available. I was craving veggies and Native Bowl supplied them! My partner and I got the Broadway Bowl and the Mississippi Bowl. We originally planned to share them, but we could not stop eating our bowls! The sweet bbq sauce in the Broadway Bowl paired so perfectly with the veggie slaw. My only personal criticism, I wish the soy curls were crispier. Otherwise it was a home run! The peanut sauce in the Mississippi Bowl... 😍 It was so good! I'm definitely getting this one next time. The tofu was perfect and all the flavors melded together beautifully. I cannot wait to come back and try more of this delicious menu!

I love the misconception that Vegans don’t enjoy food like everyone else. In reality, wonderful food carts such as Native Bowl completely breaks barriers with their delicious hearty portions that anyone should be thrilled to try. I promise there is more to eating guilt-free than celery sticks. Particularly - wholesome meals like this.

I do not even know where to start. The food was SO freaking good!!! Everything is vegan so that was handy. The staff was super friendly. I love the whole food cart vibe of this area. But the food... It was so damn good! I got the Albina bowl. The leftovers the next day were even better. I highly highly recommend you check them out, you will not regret it. So damn good.

I was looking forward to trying this place for a while now. Happened to be in the area for my lunch break today. The concept is good, I like all the ingredients that were in the dish. I don't know if the chef was just "heavy handed" on the sauce today or what, but I left feeling very disappointed, I could only eat a few bites before having to throw the rest away and not have much for lunch. Strongly dislike wasting food, and it makes me feel like I'm just throwing away my money. 😞 My dish was drowning in so much sauce that you could not taste any of the rest of the ingredients. And it was so spicy it upset my stomach. I would say, I have a pretty good spice tolerance level. I don't know if I will choose to eat here again, if I do I will definitely be getting the sauce on the side or no s
