We came here as our first sushi night since my fiancés diagnosis and later in the night. We didn’t leave until basically close and never felt rushed even as some of the last people there by the time we were paying. The server was patient as we checked what alcohols were in the cocktails so we could see if they were gluten free and even double checked substitutions/brands happily for us. It was clear they really cared about us having a safe and enjoyable night. It was my birthday and our anniversary dinner and they even made sure to bring out a gluten free dessert large enough to share with candles. When hearing about a trip we were going to take, the staff even let us know about their location in Seattle so we could have another safe and lovely dinner. This place is already a favorite after 1 visit. My fiancé felt 100% safe dining. We will be returning.

This is maybe my second google review I’ve ever given in my life. The gf pizza is amazing. It’s fluffy and the crust is a consistency that I didn’t think was possible in the world of gluten free. It’s my new favorite.

Annie Marie

The owner makes everything in house, down the mustard and ketchup. Each item is incredibly flavorful and custom. All items are clearly labeled with allergens, and there is a dedicated GF fryer. I have celiac disease and am very sensitive, I had no problems eating here. Highly recommend trying a mix of everything by way of the sides! Hands down best GF meal we’ve had out in Portland!

They made a fresh waffle cone to ensure it was safe. All waffle cones are gluten free, it is the only thing on the waffle maker. They also clean scoop from a new ice cream to again ensure not cross contamination

Ashley Grunwald

Absolutely amazing food! The burger was awesome the fries were on point. The chicken tenders were a little over cooked but lots of variety for gluten free options. The Marionberry lemonade is on point! I will definitely be back. Delicious food and great service! They even have an outdoor eating area.

Kelsey Leonard

Amazing gluten free options. The waffles are delicious, fried chicken is amazing. Can’t recommend enough. Staff is super knowledgeable about gluten free needs. Definitely some of the best breakfast around!

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

Kelsey Konsen

Choosing to sit in the bar area during a busy, rainy Saturday was the right move. We were able to immediately get a seat and service was fast despite how busy they were. I tried their gluten free beer and it was really good - so many others are terrible. My husband loves their IPAs so he was in heaven.

Anna Henning

It was a nice restaurant with good atmosphere. The staff themselves were the standout - they treated us really well and with kind attitudes. I went because I had heard they had lots of Gluten Free options, but would have liked to see more options than there were.

Ben Browne

The food: top tier The employees: delightful The atmosphere: casual, fun, upbeat, low-key As a celiac with a strict gluten free diet, this place is heaven. As a person who appreciates quality product/services, even more so.

Bryce

A funky, down home place with excellent pizza. Extensive traditional and vegan pizza menu. Gluten free desserts. The crust hits that perfect combination of crispness and doughiness. Old time video machines and board games. Almost a dive, but the pizza is gourmet.

Kyla Pickard

The only unpleasant thing was bumping into someone when I got up from the table to use the restroom. The area is small and my booty is not. The food was AMAZING! Especially if you are gluten free. How do they get the cardamom french toast so thick? And the flavors *mwah.* I also tried the gluten free eggs Benny and it was very tasty too. Apparently there are yummy gluten free biscuits out there folks, and this is where they are hiding! Also the location is cool too because there are 2 vintage stores right next door basically. All the staff was very friendly too =^.^=

Mary League

Great gluten-free pasta!

Jonny Plumb

Impressed with the food, service, and the abundance of gluten free options for fried foods. Highly recommended.

Ami Baio

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

Ashli Vega

The fact that this place does gluten free fried chicken with a DEDICATED FRYER has me hooked. I love having that knowledge that this space will be somewhere I can safely eat without worry! Delicious chicken cooked in a great sauce. Quick service for a Saturday afternoon as well. Very happy about that! Space inside is pretty small, so I definitely recommend opting to sit outside. The burger was cooked to medium, and was very juicy. Cocktails were also excellent. This place has a great happy hour menu as well if you find yourself searching the more budget friendly option. So many gluten free options to chose from on this menu, I would definitely recommend!

Cyrus Buhariwalla

Great gluten free sandwich.

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.

Jillian Bernoski

I was skeptical because I thought this would be asian cuisine (I'm sometimes intimidated by asian ingredients and sauces) but it turned out to be the same food I am used to, just with a subtle twist. I was unsure about the "Yumm sauce" even after the nice employee described it to be so he gave me a sample. It was great! It reminds me of a subtle tangy sauce, like tomatillo without the spice. The other ingredients were exactly what was detailed on the menu, and were very fresh. The flavors came together deliciously! In addition, there are many gluten free options and what the celiac in our party ordered did not cause her to get sick.

Mario Santos

Good spot for some seafood...great gluten free options!

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!

My wife and I visited Mosiac Taphouse and the Vietnamese cuisine inspired restaurant inside it - Chemgio (pronounced Chem-Yah). We met one of the owners, tending bar. The tap selection rotates and is a nice mix. This evening, I had a couple of different dry ciders. My wife enjoyed some pale ales. You order food at the same counter as the beer, and are handed a notification puck that will light up and vibrate when your food is ready to pick up. [There's a button on the bottom of the puck, to silence it.] We tried the salt & pepper wings, the fried taro rice cakes, and the pork belly skewers. Everything was delicious, though the skewers were on the sweet side. We'll definitely come back to sample more beverages and more food*! *the kitchen is entirely gluten-free, as is the menu, if that matters to you.

Super friendly and cute place. Gluten friendly but NOT Celiac friendly. I got sick off of it but mostly cross contamination. Good food and great atmosphere otherwise!

Chrissy Andersen

Good burgers and we appreciate the choices of gluten free buns and chicken burgers. Our server Xaykham was awesome!!

juliet sutherland

Outstanding. The food, the drinks, the service- all excellent. There are so many great restaurants in Portland, this one stands out. I have celiac, I felt so taken care of. Friends of ours introduced us to Lechon today, we will go back.

We brought my nephews (8 and 11) to play games. They had a blast, and so did we! Awesome service, and really nice staff helped the boys pick games to play. Our server was super helpful. The ordering system is easy to navigate, and allows for very customized orders. Lots of options for gluten free and vegan. Nut free wasn't an issue either. Food is delicious. Coffee is Stumptown (yum!), seating is comfortable, vibe is warm and inviting. Lots of cool games to borrow, and a whole game shop to buy from. I already have plans to come back with some friends!

Tyler Sakura

Fast friendly service with good food and coffee. They also have a number of gluten free options.

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!!

Jesse Jones

The perfect place to take a group with various dietary needs. Classic burger and fries type of place with fantastic options for Gluten Free, Vegan, non-alcoholic and more

Natalie Lane

One of my go to places with having celiac. The have a separate fryer for the fries and a great GF bun. Genuinely one of my go to places now

Shelly

The chicken was surprisingly delicious. Would recommend that. A few non alcoholic drink options, which was nice! Gluten free options clearly labeled.

Sierra Rickards

I recently went to this location with my friends - the last time I went to Fifty Licks was at the Burnside location (RIP)! This location was so cute - I loved the decor, vibe, and energy. Lots of vegan and gluten free options

I had the pleasure of dining at G-Love today, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a cozy meal. The staff were incredibly attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Waiter asked for any dietary restrictions, let her know I was gluten free and dairy free, came back with a menu of what were yes’s, no’s, and moderate’s. I’ve never had any restaurant do that for me. So I was extremely thankful for that! The highlight, of course, was the food. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. I particularly enjoyed the pork skewers, the avocado plate, and the broccoli, which was cooked to perfection and had a delightful blend of spices. Overall, G-love exceeded my expectations in every way. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. I can't wait to go back! -Kindly Maria

They’re explicit about which flavors are gluten free and when I asked about their prepping in the kitchen they said equipment is always cleaned between flavors. My celiac friend and I (also celiac but no symptoms compared to her) had no problem!
