The gravitational pull of this place was too much for me to resist. I had to come back for 2nds. I am always amazed at the amount of food stuffed into the large Chinese take out container. It's like a fantastic salad on top of a delicious entrée. This place has the best vegetarian bowls. You must try it and see for yourself. Full of flavor and super filling I can never finish my order. I recommend the Albina. read more

The Broadway - so tasty, the garlic tofu nicely seared, peanut sauce is rich, veggies add freshness and great texture, overall satisfied, the single portion is great for two. Excited to eat more :) read more

I ate here for the first time yesterday and was so satisfied! I got the Alberta bowl with added spiciness. The warmth and flavor of the bowl with the crunch of the cabbage and carrots was on point! This place proves that vegan food isn't boring and shouldn't have to be. I'll definitely be back !!! read more

Stopped in with my toddler today and this was the only cart that even spoke to me so I decided since I had seen them on here why not give it a try. The guy was very nice and recommended the "Alberta bowl" which was very delicious just like he said, even my son who is not a fan of tofu liked it a lot! read more

I found this place on accident when looking for the Homegrown Smoker on a rainy/snowing day on a trip to Portland. I was so stoked to find an all vegan place. The man working there was super duper nice and recommended the Alberta Bowl to me. This was one of the best bowls I have ever had- It was spicy and crunchy and super satisfying. It was spicy so it totally warmed me up. The owner was down to earth. I have to say, I have been vegan for about 8 years, and I NEVER knew tofu could taste like this. It was seriously so good. Even my vegan phobic friend had a bite and loved it. Next time I am in Portland I am definitely coming back!! read more

I was weary of this place because I'm attached to animal protien in my meals. The broadway bowl was great and tasted fresh. I want to try all the bowls. read more

Super good food, and friendly staff. Had a nice laugh with the guy who took my order. Then the food, holy freaking- Amazeballs! That meal was the awesome sauce, good filling portion as well. Feeling light and nimble on my feet ready to conquer the day. read more

I've tried 3 or 4 different bowls here and each one was amazing. These guys transform quivering bland tofu and soy curls into mouth-watering bowl masterpieces. I've been trying to clone their Mississippi bowl's BBQ soy curls at home, but just can't quite recreate that chewy yet tender texture. You can tell a lot of thought went into their recipes. The flavors are complimentary and well balanced. Thank you, Native Bowl! read more

I personally didn't enjoy my bowl very much. I had only seen one negative review, so I decided to try it out for myself, but I do have to agree with that one bad review. I wanted to see if that person's bowl really was that bad, so I got it. It was bad. Everything she had said was VERY accurate. Too much sauce, not enough flavor, over-hyped, and overall just gross. I would not recommend going there, but then again, I have only had one of their bowls. Maybe we have different taste buds, or the Alberta bowl is especially gross, or maybe y'all are just tripping. Yeah, will not be going back anytime soon. read more

My friend and I found ourselves in the neighborhood and looking for a quick bite to eat when i saw Native Bowl. I quickly recognized the name from a vegan blog and we stopped to order lunch. We picked up the Mississippi Bowl as well as the Gravy Bowl. I never had soy curls before but I hear about them nonstop. I don't care much for faux meats so I never sought them out but they are amazing! Very chickny and flavorful. The gravy bowl was pure heaven. I also ordered the Chocolate Cup for - brace yourself - $1.50!!!!!!!!!! It's a little paper cup of FRESH BAKED chocolate cake dowsed in syrup and topped with powdered sugar. O - MY- GAWD! And if it wasn't all fantastic enough they have orange and lemon pelligrino for sale. Hallelujah. :) I'm heading back! read more

So as you all know i am a die-hard lover of anything that walks, runs, fly's or swim so why am i yelping a Vegan food cart you say???? Well this place rocks i had The Vegan Rueben and also The Mississippi Thai Bowl both were out standing, you must all try this lil cart out.... read more

I love the bowls so much, and the massive salad the offer is my favorite in the whole world! So many favorites it's hard to decide which one to get every time. read more

Great food made with a real passion. If you have never tried soy curls before you really need to order the Mississippi. Owners are super cool and friendly. Thanks NB read more

The Buffalo blows my mind it's so good. I crave this food truck now. Such a delicious surprise hidden in a truck. The guy who runs it is funny too. read more

Had the couch bowl and it was awesome. Really fresh and a great mix of spicy and sweet flavors. I'll go back even though I really don't understand why the wait is so long. read more

I have come to Native Bowl a good handful of times, and usually have no complaints. Today I do. The customer service I experienced was horrid. I ordered the Mississippi bowl, and asked for a side of the sriracha lime buffalo sauce, which the gal working the front proceeded to tell me they didn't have. Explained to me it was a slaw.... I said okay. And then decided no this isn't accurate it's a sauce I've gotten before. I again explained this. She continued to be condescending and rude. Moving on my order is complete, which after that attitude and extremely poor customer service I ultimately wanted to cancel my order. But I decided to suck it up and move on. A good 15-20 minutes passes and no one has called my name I looked over at the cart several times, where I was given eye contact each time. Figured my order can't be ready or the girl at front would say something. Finally after 10 more minutes my brother went to the cart and asked if my order was ready. The gal said she had taken my order but I didn't provide my name but it had been done for awhile. This is funny, aren't they supposed to ask my name? Or wait when my card is ran doesn't that also supply my name? But at the very least you would think if I truly didn't give a name, and you continued to give me eye contact you would just bring me my food? Never had such a horrible experience at any of the food carts by Prost. We live in the neighborhood, and I have diet restriction so this was a perfect cart. However, I will no longer be getting meals from this cart. You may want to consider hiring someone with better customer service and social skills to be taking the orders if you want returning customers. read more

The Mississippi bowl was an amazing mix of grains and slaw and smoky sauces with amazing, amazing tasting seitan. And the people are super super friendly. It was so good it's worth standing in the cold for. read more

The Broadway Bowl is a slice of heaven. You would never guess it's vegan. I can't wait to get back there and eat some more!

Great bowls. Tasty sauce, well made rice, good mix of veggies. $4-$5ish for a bowl.

I went to this food cart with my vegetarian mother who was visiting from CA. It was the highest rated vegetarian 'restaurant' on yelp in Portland at the time. I must say neither of us was disappointed. We ordered 3 bowls because we could not decide on just 2. Mississippi was by far the favorite, although Broadway was a close 2nd. Couch was okay, not really my thing but still tasty nonetheless. I will be back. read more

I've lived in Portland for 5 years, and have only just recently had my first Native Bowl. Have to say I'll certainly be back. Not only were the flavors exciting and fresh, but they all worked well together. Enjoyed the Couch, pairing the spicy Korean-like mixture with a lager at Prost. The guys at the truck are super-friendly. Overall was a great Saturday afternoon on an early sunny day on Mississippi. Can't wait to try all the other great options. read more

So goooood! Great service. Affordable prices. Large servings. Wish they were open later!

We read about this place in an Oregonian article and decided we had to give it a try. I liked the sound of the soy curls, but I wanted the Broadway Bowl. They were more than willing to substitute the Broadway's tofu for the soy curls, and it was delicious. The homemade peanut sauce was absolutely fantastic. The whole bowl was pretty freakin' yummy. The proprietors were helpful and friendly. A+ for customer service. I will definitely be coming back. read more

We LOVE this place. Awesome sized servings of delicious food. Their hours are a bit limited and sometimes unreliable, BUT that's the benefit of being food cart owners and they're worth calling ahead. read more

Great food and great prices! I could maybe throw down a bowl on my own if I was super hungry, but sharing one with my partner is more than enough food. He's a meat-eater, and this is his favorite food in Portland. I would suggest calling ahead if you are making a special trip there. I've made the mistake before and they ended up being closed. Calling ahead and ordering is super quick and easy. Very friendly service! read more

I love this cart, the Mississippi bowl is the main reason I go there. It's so good that the ridiculously long waits I've had a number of times or the inconsistency a time or two hasn't deterred me from coming back again and again. I've eaten there a number of times since they reopened for the season and haven't had the same issues, my sister has though. Yesterday she got a bowl and whoever made it (not either of the owners), made it inedible. But again this is still not reason enough to deter me from eating there the food is so good when it's right. Besides the Mississippi bowl I like the chocolate cup, which is a perfect little desert to go with the bowls. read more

The reason I can't give four stars is the hours are a bit flaky. After driving 20min to the carts I was really looking forward to a broadway bowl. I managed to come on a day that they closed at 3. I get that mostly they are open to four, and only occasionally till 3, but it would be cool if the staff didn't act like you were in the way when you come by at 3:12 still expecting to order. read more

Native Bowl has a small menu, but I have not had a single thing there that I wouldn't order again. They serve all of their bowls in cute Chinese take-out containers. Their food is wonderful, but sometimes it takes a while to cook, like 15 minutes or more. I wonder if they take call ahead orders! read more

Native Bowl has some pretty dank vegan food! I am a fan of the Mississippi bowl, the food is fairly inexpensive 6.50 for a bowl and I think the quality is pretty high. I've been into eating bowls recently and I must say Native Bowl totally out ranks most of the other bowl places in town. Plus it's all vegan! read more

This cart has some amazing food! I had the hollywood bowl with homemade tahini. This was the perfect accompaniment to me beer next door at the German bar. Definitely make a stop herein you're from out of town. The entire Mississippi was our favorite neighborhood. There's great bars, coffee, shopping. read more

Used our Chinook book deal here not long ago and was super impressed. We tried the Couch and the Hollywood and now I"m ready to go back and try all the others! So delicious! read more

Pretty good bowel considering no meat. I got the Hollywood, and it was delicous, especially the crunchy pita giving it a nice texture.

Got the big chik'n salad. Didn't realize I was eating fake chicken until halfway through the salad. Colorful, flavorful, quality ingredients, and bigger portion than expected! read more

YUMMERS!!! Just had my first ever bowl from Native Bowl and I think I am already addicted. It was a perfectly sized portion of rice, tofu, fresh veggies and sauce. The Broadway Bowl had a delicious peanut-ginger sauce that couldn't have tasted any better (and I've had a lot of peanut sauces). Try it. You'll love it! read more

The broadway bowl was amazing gotta love the diversity!! 100 percent vegan organic can't get any better than that

First time stopping by here today, this little food cart area has lots of options for a hungry vegan who wants to try something a little more 'fancy'. Well, I had heard good things about Native Bowl and they were right. MMMM! I got the Mississippi bowl, because I havent had bbq flavored anything in some time, and I wanted to stray from my typical vegan lunch. It was excellent! Portion, huge. Plenty for 1.5 or two meals, and with a can of coconut water my total was only $10. Perfect for lunch out. The dude running it is really nice and made some suggestions, I will certainly be back to try each bowl. read more

I found this only because I was in the neighborhood and was looking for some good food truck fare. This place didn't disappoint!! I had the teriyaki dish and it was very good and spicy...maybe a bit too much, but regardless, still good. If you go and don't like spice, then just ask them to tone it down. Also located in a food cart courtyard with other various options...so take a wonder. read more

The big teriyaki chik'in salad is where it's at! This was super filling and very flavorful! I would definitely recommend trying this and all the other delicious bowls they offer as well. Bonus- they have cookies from Sift bakery too!! read more

I order from here alllll theeee time. It's right by my work so it's hard not too. I can't choose a favorite bowl because they are all so good, the portions are big enough that sometimes I can split it into two meals, and it's always fresh and tasty whether I go to the cart or order through Grubhub. read more

We came down from Seattle last night and had an awful experience at another Portland vegetarian restaurant so we decided to try this today and I am so glad we did! It took me about 20 minutes to decide what to order cuz everything looked so good. I ended up getting the albino and it was so good! The chick'n was cooked awesome and the amount of food was great! Definitely coming here every time we come back to Portland!!! Thank you for restoring our faith after our experience last night! I would give more then 5 stars if I could read more
