Flavors are very good. The ingredient ratio is inconsistent. The bowl I got yesterday was over 90% rice. There was less than a fourth of a cup of beans. Tasty, but not filling enough for the price or as a complete meal.

Their formula, similar to chipotle in many ways, works well. You can get a whole lot of healthy food for your dollar, and service is extremely quick. On the other hand, there is 1 thing on the menu and no protein options. Oh well.

Y’all, this is WAY better than chipotle, I promise u…. just subtract the meat option, since this is a vegan restaurant. The ingredients are very fresh and delicious to my taste buds. I ordered online delivery and they forgot my matcha chia mango drink :( ….I was really looking forwarded to trying it. Oh well, I can forgive and forget… I might just stop by randomly just to only get chips and guac again .. lol

My eyes were definitely bigger than my stomach, but I’m so glad my friend told me about this place! I only spent 9 bucks, and the food was fresh and tasty! Most importantly, the bowl didn’t make me feel weighed down. Even though it’s not a sit down place, I would suggest parking and walking to the window!

I absolutely love this place!!! I go here at least twice a week. My latest experience was a bit disappointing and resulted in me not getting any food. The person working there was sweeping the floor as I approached the window, they put the broom away. When they came to the window, I saw them wipe their hand across their nose. Hand should have been washed immediately after sweeping.

I remember when I was in Portland years ago and stopped at The Whole Bowl. It was a cold November day, and I just walked away feeling like I ate a warm hug, just like the bowl says. It's basically just black beans, rice, avocado, cheese, olives, cilantro, sauces, and other things that just make taste so freaking good. So when I'm in Cincy and see that the Whole Bowl is also here?! I had to go. It's in Clifton, where UC is. It's just a walk up stand. There are a couple small tables in front along with sauces available. I honestly just picked it up and ate it while I walked up and down the neighborhood. The service was quick. Server wore a mask while making it. So, I appreciated that part. I can't comment on the ambiance because it wasn't a sit down place. The price is hard to beat- like $9-10 I think, I got the 16 oz cup, and it was so filling. Oh how I missed this place. It's a must eat for vegetarians/vegans in Cincy.

I came here to show my love after many years of eating here. It is my favorite place on ludlow to eat for lunch and dinner. And then i saw a review below with a photo of one of the employees Lucas talking bad about him. I must say that he is my absolute favorite person there! He always remembers my order and starts preparing it before I even get to the window! You never see that service anywhere. Im telling you BEST customer service when he's there! Everyone else there is wonderful as well. Other than that the bowls here are perfection! And will always love this place. Thank you whole bowl! (:
