Created the article as a stub. The concept was new to me. Plenty of references, but admittedly higher-quality references would be welcome. I'll also try to get around to adding a picture or two of Buddha Bowls. Please contact me if you want to collaborate on improving the article.PizzaMan ♨♨♨ 10:48, 21 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Whispering: Thank you for looking into the stub. Do you think that these sources could help establish the notability? [1] [2] [3] PizzaMan ♨♨♨ 17:00, 21 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've boldly but reluctantly removed the reliable sources and notability tags after adding some more sources. Please restore them if you think that was premature.PizzaMan ♨♨♨ 19:29, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Poke is irrelevant

Stating that "a Buddha bowl is a vegetarian poke bowl" is not only misleading (as poke is necessarily a fish dish), but also unsubstantiated by the provided reference, so I'm removing that sentence and reference. --BugQ (talk) 16:55, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@BugQ:I agree that a Buddha bowl isn't a vegetarian poke bowl. On the other hand, i think it's a bit harsh to discard the entire reference. How about something like "Buddha bowls have been compared to Nourish Bowls (a non-vegetarian version) and to Poké Bowls (a Hawaian raw fish dish)." This is obviously not territory where references are plentiful and readers will still wonder what the relationship is, from the name similarity if nothing else. I also see the similarity in the dish: fresh, healthy ingredients served in a bowl, usually in a grouped way rather than mixed. Note that this refers to the modern poké bowl as sold in restaurants worldwide, but less so to the traditional Hawaiian dish. The evolution went: poke (Hawaiian dish with marinated fish) => poké bowl (international restaurant dish with items grouped) => Buddha bowl (poké bowl without the fish).
