I was in Portland for vacation this summer and stumbled across sonny bowl. I still dream about the one bowl. It was by far the best lunch I’ve ever had vegan or not! Ive been on a mission to recreate it but can’t seem to come close enough.

Just ate the #1, it was tasty and delicious. I am excited to go again and try the others.

I also appreciated the gluten free options!

[...] felt a little guilty about having that for lunch, so I got something tasty and vegan from Sonny Bowl after, but only had the room to eat half of it (and I ordered the half [...]

Just had the number 1. Delicious, nutritious and filling. I couldn’t even close the box. That cilantro lemon sauce….yummy. And who knew that soy curls could be so good. I will be a regular.

This is awesome. I just got the #1 and I am super stoked about it. Best cart meal I’ve had yet hands down.

Also, I’ve been a veggie for over a year… why the heck didn’t I know about Soy Curls????

Awesome. Yeah! RE-USE!! : )

In fact if you bring your own bowl, Sanjay will just use whatever bowl you bring, which is great. –> Less plastic getting pulled into the ecosystem = lower impact on the environment. I think that if you bring your own bowl – then you can also get a discount on a drink.

Also if you go to http://www.portlandpedalpower.com – you can have them deliver (by bike!) anything on the Sonny Bowl menu.

in one order you can accomplish
- no excess plastic ending up in a landfill
- no animals harmed since all menu items are vegan
- promote bike culture/bike businesses in Portland (of course no pollution that goes along with a typical delivery by car)
- *awesome food*

This is the most progressive food cart in Portland and… also just happens to have the best food.

Check it out!

I wanted to add my comments now I’ve tried all three bowls & urge others to try this one if you haven’t yet!

First off – the 3 bowls all were great and very satisfying – especially for $5! All of them have interesting, flavorful sauces; a nice veggie protein element; fresh veggies; and brown rice. What’s nice is you get a lot of food for the price, but because it’s so healthy, I don’t feel sluggish or over-full afterward.

My favorite bowl was definitely #3, because of the fresh green beans and ginger sauce. #2 was my 2nd favorite with another great unusual sauce, and #3 was delicious, too – I just thought it was less unique (black beans + rice) than the other 2.

He also offers a great selection of hot sauces (including Aardvark!), soy sauce, etc to doctor to your taste. And, because the bowl he serves it in is so sturdy, I’ve been washing mine & bringing it back to reuse.

I’ve been hitting the food carts for the past year or so now.

The #3 at Sonny Bowl is hands down the best meal that I’ve ever gotten at any of the food carts anywhere at any time for the entire time I’ve been in Portland.

I can’t recommend this cart enough.

Good music too – also nice guy running the place behind the counter.
