Albert Randle

Food was very good, especially with Celiacs disease!! Owner is absolutely insane but in a good way, kind of difficult to describe. Highly recommend.

Ale Vega

Bamboo Sushi is hands down one of my favorite spots in the city, their great food, service and atmosphere is pretty consistent. Also as a GLUTEN FREE girly I love feeling so safe and comfortable with the menu!

Kim Guttinger

Love having a 100% gluten free sushi spot to eat at, and such good vegetarian options as well!

Rachel Holland

these people know what they are doing! everything is well marked and dedicated GF fryer. kind and thoughtful staff. we make a special trip to Portland, just to get the fried chicken here.

Tara Alsaidi

Start to finish, Rangoon bistro was the most wonderful experience! Excellent customer service started with a helpful call about hours, dietary restrictions, etc., and carried through to friendly banter with the chefs over absolutely delectable dishes. The tea leaf salad and very large dumpling were the highlights of an all around delicious selection (and are both gluten free!). We live out of town, but may start making the trip to Portland more regularly to try new items on the rotating menu! Thanks to everyone at Rangoon Bistro for an unforgettable evening!

Yummy! Everything is gluten free except the bread, even desserts! ❤️

Kim Guttinger

My favorite Thai spot

Cassi Smith

Celiac safe food that tastes delicious! The staff was also friendly. Had a great experience

Christina Chao

I got bugolgi beef and it was good, the bowl was big. Their miso soup is aromatic. I loved their cheese and corn, because who doesn’t love cheese and corn? First time in my life having corn tea and it’s going to be my thing from now on. So grateful this place introduced me to corn tea. Also cookie points for being gluten free so that my partner can eat here with me :)

Ami Baio

Love to be able to eat vegan and gluten free at Bamboo! Highly recommend!

Sheldon French

I planned a delightful surprise for my wife's birthday weekend by making reservations at this incredible spot! Considering her gluten intolerance and her love for sushi, it was the perfect choice—plus, it was just a short stroll from our hotel. The menu was not only extensive but bursting with flavor, offering something for every palate. The atmosphere was vibrant and inviting, truly enhancing our dining experience. Overall, we had an amazing time with top-notch service that made the evening unforgettable!

Eric Dalrymple

Awesome little spot. Great food, great service. Several high quality vegan and gluten free options.

Nicky Comer

Such a great experience, every time. The sushi is always so flavorful and fresh. As someone with an extreme gluten allergy, it’s nice to be able to eat anything without worrying about gluten-poisoning.

Megan Matchett

I was so excited to discover this cart today, as it's very difficult to find places that are both vegan & GF. Much to my surprise, everything here is gluten free, safe for Celiacs, and most of the items are vegan as well. It took me a few minutes to pick what I wanted to order, as I'm not used to having so many options, but I finally decided on the peachic with the tofu and the black rice pudding. Both were amazing! The portions were large, so I'll be having leftovers for lunch tomorrow. Thanks so much for the delicious food made just for people like me! 😊

I was in town visiting a friend who has a severe gluten allergy and I found Bamboo Sushi on the gluten free app. Looked into it and made a reservation. Informed the server of the allergy and she said there were only 2 items with gluten. One was the burger but could likely be substituted with lettuce instead of the bun and another was an option garnish. Even the tempura is gluten free which is very rare. We decided to get Wasabi Honey Chicken and Smashed Avocado crispy rice as an appetizer. The chicken was really good, had some heat/spiciness, but excellent flavor. The Smashed Avocado crispy rice was really good too but we both liked the chicken more. She got the Unicorn sushi and asked for eel sauce, and I went with the green machine which is vegetarian and asked for spicy aioli. We both really enjoyed the food and we ended with the Matcha panna Cotta. I'm not a fan of matcha so it wasn't for me, but she really enjoyed it. We enjoyed the food so much we came back 2 nights later with her Aunt and ordered chicken karaage for an appetizer (no picture). She got the garden of Eden Sushi and the Friday the 13th sushi and enjoyed both but I think she likes the Friday the 13th better. I got the chili garlic chicken with steamed rice which was very tasty. And her Aunt got the grilled octopus (no picture) and said it too was delicious. Highly recommend checking Bamboo Sushi out. It's a small restaurant and can be a little cramped but the food is delicious!

Mariel Jones

This is one of my favorite go-to spots in Portland! I love the vibe, the service, the food, everything. I eat here at least once a month and have never been disappointed. It’s one of the places I point my out of town friends to go eat at. They have gluten free options! My go-to order is the pork and rice with a thai iced tea. Today I tried the thai green tea with coconut milk — yummy but not as good as the classic thai tea. Takeout, dine in, it’s all good.

Heather Hebisen

This is a cute Thai restaurant with a great atmosphere. The staff are friendly and fun, the staff seem to know everyone by name that come in and the ppl from the neighborhood just stop in to say hi as they are taking their evening walks 😁. The food is so good, and they serve a gluten-free menu, which I appreciate 😋 🙏🏻

Sean Luke

It's bad when you order gluten free and they ignore it. Be weary. Edit: The food was ok but just...

Jack Gentry

Had a great experience, enjoyed the food, and the gluten free noodles were absolutely delicious

Ashli Quintela

Lydia was our server tonight and she took such great care of us, we felt like we were her own kids the way we were chatting it up tonight. She is so personable and fun. The food was spectacular! Nearly everything on this menu is actually gluten free and I was unafraid to eat 90% of this menu! Gorgeous restaurant and actually used to be a speakeasy within the area. Expand your pallet and give the Lebanese tour a chance, it’s a little bit of everything and really gives you the chance to taste it all. Really was the perfect meal for two to share and fills you up. Make sure to mention if you do have a gluten allergy as they can provide you with pita chips so you’re still included in having a dipping item for all the great sauces you will endure. Definitely will be back.

Izabella Page

This place is great. I think if I didn't have to be gluten free it would be amazing. Since I am, I'm saying it was good/great. (Wish they had Tamari!) Beautiful restaurant interior. I don't love having to stand in line to order as sometimes the lines are really long but maybe it's different now that things are more open post pandemic. The outdoor booths are cute but I haven't sat in them yet. Drinks are excellent too!!

Nathan Reiman

Phenomenal! And, this is the gluten-free Vietnamese place in the area that is most worth visiting.

Chris Turner

Awesome food. I have celiac disease so I love that much of their food is gluten free.

Autumn B

I ordered from Eem on DoorDash after seeing they had a deal on there. I’d been dying to try this place for years but never made it happen. I felt bad because I ordered 2 minutes before orders closed for the night. I honestly wasn’t expecting super fresh or warm food (especially since it was delivery) and woooow was I so incorrect. The food was fresh, full of flavor, and still hot enough to not reheat. Worth every penny! I am also gluten free and LOVE that Eem is allergen friendly. The menu clearly states all allergens in the food so I didn’t have to guess or risk glutening myself. We ordered the BBQ fried rice, the green curry with vegetables & shredded pork, the sweet & sour fried chicken (not gluten free but got them for my partner and friend), and the Massaman curry with smoked lamb shoulder. Each item was delicious and 10/10 quality. The chicken pulled apart so nicely, it wasn’t overly breaded and you could tell that the ingredients are superb quality. We will be back to eat in the restaurant next time. The food is INCREDIBLE. You have to try this restaurant!!

Eric Muhr

The Friendly Village is an unassuming strip mall on Sandy Blvd with one of the best little Thai restaurants in Portland. We ordered chicken potstickers, larb with chicken, barbecue pork fried rice, and Lao style papaya salad with sticky rice. The vegetables were fresh. The seasoning for every dish was perfect. Service was fast even with a steady stream of folks stopping in for takeout orders. Lots of vegetarian and gluten free options on the menu.

Hannah

The curry ramen was very yummy! They have lots of customization options and add ons, including vegan and gluten free bases and appetizers. Fast and friendly service.

Ryan Rooney

Truly a unique experience. I was unaware of Burma's (Myanmar) geographical local and treasures. The influence of SE Aisa, China and Bangladesh make for an eclectic menu, of which much is gluten free by result. Their fried chicken is carefully bribed and marinated in an array of spices and fried to perfections. Just a light dusting of rice flour is all that is needed for such a satisfying crunch. The rice dumpling (GF) was so savory and satisfying. The vinegar and umami hits from the the fish sauce did wonders. The staff is passionate and the chefs are very approachable (when not busy). We talked food for quite some time. A must try for anyone looking for a unique array of menu options. Oh, their cocktails are also carefully crafted and executed to perfection.

Sofia Torres

Absolutely delicious onigiri! Their udon soup was also amazing! Noodles are made in house and are perfectly chewy. The service was magnificent as well! Highly recommend for anyone. Their allergens are very well labeled and the staff was super knowledgeable! Note that they do only have 1 fryer so there may be cross contamination between gluten/non gluten ingredients which the server kindly informed us before ordering. Amazing experience, definitely a must try!

Tamara Olcott

We've been ordering from Friendship Kitchen for several years. Their food and their service are always fantastic. Tonight we had the vegan phô, the shrimp crêpe and the tofu salad rolls. All were fantastic. The shrimp crêpes are really different, have an essence of coconut, and are very tasty (and our gluten-free). The vegan phô is chock full of vegetables and the broth is very flavorful. The bean sprouts, Thai basil and cilantro served with it were plentiful. We got this order for two people, and we have enough leftover for another meal.

Jane Weil

We've had Mikasa delivery a few times and finally got to go in person. It's a nice, small, restaurant with a few tables along 1 wall. The waitresses were friendly and helpful with our questions before ordering. We got the gyoza, edamame, miso ramen, laksa ramen (made gluten free), cali & avocado rolls, and a poke bowl. Everyone was very happy with their order and gobbled it. The laksa was nicely spicy and the soft boiled egg in the ramen was so good. We'll definitely be back!

Kevin Prates

Delicious food with gluten free options

Lauren Foltz

Great ambiance | Great Service | Delicious Wow, it was our first time coming here. The whole aesthetic/ atmosphere is beautiful. I loved the colors and textures used. It’s very clean and organized. We were greeted and seated quickly. Our waitress was great and tended to our needs. We ordered miso soup, edamame, salmon flight sashimi, chicken skewers, Sapporo miso ramen without egg and gluten free noodles, and green tea. Miso soup was excellent and served at perfect temperature. Not salty and the seaweed was thicker than other places. They give more edamame than most places too! The Salmon sashimi was delicious and beautifully presented. The Sapporo Ramen was delicious! That broth was so good, not salty! Highly recommend this one, and if you want to add some spice, you can request the spicy version. The pork slices were perfect with not too much fat but full of flavor. Loved that the toppings were the right amount so that when you’re down to eating noodles, you still have enough corn and sprouts with every bite. We will be back. This is a great lunch and dinner spot in a good location.

Eloise Bernstein

The food at this restaurant is better than a popular competitor and also more reasonably priced. The broth is flavorful and comes with plenty of onions, green onions, and cilantro. The spring rolls are large and always fresh, with gluten-free dipping sauces available. They offer free and unlimited cool water and hot tea. My favorite lunch hack is ordering a side of broth and a spring roll for less than $10. The service is fast, the restaurant is clean and stylish, and the staff are very kind.

al0662

Overpriced and small portions. Great gluten-free options. As a European I’m used to better quality Asian food.

ryan ribary

Amazing ramen and they have gluten free options. Super amazing with great flavor! Will go back again and again

Dave

Really good local Japanese food. Huge sake selection, including flights, gluten free sushi and soy sauce, and a great variety of non fish dishes of you prefer to dine on swine

Steff Williams

I ordered via Instacart and had added information for one person who must eat gluten free. The restaurant called me to ensure they got that person's meal correct. They took extra time to take great care to make sure they got it right. Super impressed and super grateful. ♥️

Rachel Furman

Great food and the friendliest staff and owner. Recommend it to everyone and is often our go to meal. Great option for gluten free, or dairy free individuals.

James D (JD)

Excellent Ramen as two of the three options (tare) are gluten free. Only the Shoyu is not. Highly recommend!

Nicholas Hansen

Enjoyed dinner while in the area from out of town. Typical Thai restaurant. Easy to miss when driving by as there are 2 trees blocking it from the road. Street parking available down the block. Food was great and portions were huge! Service was friendly and fast. We ordered drunken noodles along with the cashew chicken. They can make almost everything gluten free which is a huge plus. This is a pretty close rival to our favorite Thai place back home.

Jason Edwin

This place is literally amazing. Some of the best fried chicken ever and it’s gluten free. I love it! Such a fair price as well, can’t recommend this place enough

Laurent Bordier

Flor Anaya

Gluten free accommodations for orders easy, server was top notch, is our favorite sushi place!

Zachary Stark

The service at this fine India oven establishment exceeded all expectations. Critiques, none. Would go again. I loved how they clearly marked the menu with gluten-free and vegan options. I asked for a very spicy food and they delivered.

Kenna Morgan

One of the staff provided a gluten free menu cheat sheet that was very helpful (pictured). The X’s on the menu were things that can’t be made gf. The only gf appetizer is the fried tofu. When ordering, make sure to ask for it gf. I ordered the kung pao chicken (gluten free) and my partner ordered the sweet and sour chicken (not gluten free). Nice staff, quick service and some pretty good Chinese food.

Lucy Castle

Gluten-Free Ramen. Vegan Broth! The option for LESS noodles for kids. Great find.

David Cheatley

Fast service, but few gluten free options

Johnny Edwards

Shawn Soszka

Outstandingly good fried chicken! Gluten free! The biggest challenge is that this food cart sells out of this awesome chicken. Get there early!

jason allen

The service was excellent. I was practically the only person there. The staff was friendly. The atmosphere was not warm. But it's a cold blustery day and the door was a little drafty. It'd be nice if there was some kind of heat source inside here to make it feel cozy. I know that's difficult with an open kitchen because it might be an overheating for the cooks. In terms of the ramen itself, I have to say that I did not have the authentic noodles and had their gluten-free version. Their gluten free version was made out of tofu, which I'm not crazy about on principal, but it actually had quite a good and interesting texture. Kind of reminiscent of sweet potato noodles without the transparency. Their broth was tasty but vinegary. It did not have a tremendous amount of depth. It wasn't rich in the way of fatty thickness or so on. I had the g-speciall ramen. I assume they didn't add sesame paste and that was one of the factors. But I didn't feel like it was a long steeping of a lot of different meat richness & minerality making up this broth. Perhaps I ordered the wrong broth? Definitely on the upper end of price for ramen in Portland.
