Delicious food, always appropriately cooked. Ignore the bad reviews because they are inaccurate. We've been here at least half a dozen times and the food is always spot on.

Lena makes the best bowls! Perfect ratio and good avocados every time. She cares about the community and always chats with me about my day and my dog.
The Whole Bowl off N Vancouver Ave, great… this one, not so much. Today was the **third time** I showed up during posted biz hours and was given some excuse why I couldn’t be helped. Today’s experience left a particularly bad taste in my mouth because before choosing to go to this one, which was closer, I had to consider whether or not I would not get serviced again based on previous experience. I chose this one and was once again not serviced. “Sold out” was the excuse. I can understand you wanting to close up on time and get on with your life, but you gotta make a bowl if its during posted hours. Never happens to me at the N Vancouver store and the vibe of the staff there is much better.

Love love love this whole bowl location! I’ve been coming here for lunches regularly for the last 5 years since I started working in the area. The food is tasty and comes out super quickly. The gal that works there is awesome, friendly and makes a killer bowl! Love having this great location nearby!

I’ve been a customer for years and love this place. Lena has always had a smile on her face, even on hot days like today, every time I/we arrive.
It’s amazing how fast she gets everyone’s bowls done and looking like the picture every single time, all while we are standing in line hungry

I was visiting, and wanted to support a local business. I was skeptical because of the reviews but I was met with exactly that. I was rushed to place my order, and the lady had the aura of “I hate my job”

Stop misleading people with reviews that paint you as a sweet, kind person you’re not. Your behavior is mean, and you need to be held accountable. I’ll make sure others know the truth.

I do not think the food is kept at appropriate temperatures when a specific person is working. I live in 5 blocks away and am regularly given lukewarm bowls with half a rotten avocado. Even the sour cream tastes like they just leave it out on the counter all day. I am a devout lover of Whole Bowl but there’s something wrong with this one.
LISTEN. I live a block away from a Whole Bowl and I still commute the half hour bus ride to get to the Whole Bowl on 23rd, Lena is that. good. at making the best bowls.
It might seem like a simple task when the menu is basically onw thing buts its never just a bowl of food. Lena has turned my day around more times then I can count! Truly an absolute treat to get a meal here 🌿

The food is great, such a good portion size for the cost. And Lena is always super nice, fun to chat with, and gets the food out quickly!

Whole Bowl is one of the best things in the world, and not just to eat. I recommend it to everyone I know. I especially recommend the 23rd location because of Lena, who not only works efficiently, but makes the bowls with the BEST ratios. Personable, hard-working, and kind, Lena makes this the BEST Whole Bowl location.
