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!
The gluten-free pizza is one of the best I have ever had! So glad to find this place when my husband and I were in the area for a convention. Thank you!
Nestled in the first floor of the Embassy Suites in downtown Portland, this very active hub has a lot to live up to. Serving great food and spirits with quality one would expect at much higher end establishments.
It's very active and lively, so not the best option for a quiet experience, but fantastic if you want some of the highest quality for a surprisingly low cost. I ordered the frittata with potatoes, that came with a choice of toast. I requested gluten free bread, a side of sausage, and an Irish pick me up, (Irish coffee with an extra kick of espresso). All of which exceeded my expectations. I'm glad I stopped in, and I'm sure you will be too. However, expect a short wait as I'm not the only one that feels so highly of this spot.
Phenomenal food and service. All vegan options with consideration for those who need gluten food as well. A perfect place to satisfy that 'diner' itch without the ambient sausage/bacon stank
EDIT / UPDATE:
The general manager reached out to me immediately to figure out what happened, which I really appreciated. We figured out that their online POS system had a flaw that made effective order communication difficult (specifically when editing an order before checking out). They are diligently looking into the issue to get it resolved, and offered to refund me the amount for the item I ordered that came as a burrito instead of a bowl. My experience now has been improved drastically thanks to their commitment to improvement and customer satisfaction. Thank you again for resolving this so quickly and effectively, JoLa!
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
I want to give this place a higher rating but I’m a little frustrated with their online ordering experience.
I did my best to pick certain options when editing each item in the online ordering section, but some of my choices apparently did not save correctly (as my receipt reflects a different choice than I actually made — and I triple checked my choices). For example, I asked for one of the items as a bowl instead of a burrito (which is an option they offer). In the receipt though, it says I chose a burrito. I even wrote a note in the “note to restaurant” section when ordering to ensure that it went through correctly (I wrote to them that I chose this particular dish as a bowl, not a burrito, as I try to limit my gluten intake otherwise I get sick). I also chose to add sausage and I got bacon.
So while it seems that their online ordering platform may be to blame, I did preface my preference for the bowl versus burrito and it shows up on the receipt, yet they neglected to pay attention to it. It’s disappointing.
The food is good though. I’d give that 4 stars. Would love for this to be resolved.
My girlfriend and I have been regulars at this stand for going on 4 years. They have gluten free food options, which is a massive plus, and their coffee is just plain good. The staff there is always polite, friendly and knowledgeable
I had a fantastic lunch here over the weekend! I have celiac, and was delighted to learn that everything on the menu except the pita and the baklava was gluten free. We tried the falafel rice platter and the hummus with veggies instead of pita. Both were delicious and so flavorful! The owner was really friendly as well. I look forward to coming back!
This is a great little spot. Wanted pizza and they advertise their gluten free crust is made in house, so we gave them a try. Great pizza, great GF crust. Definitely recommend.
The beers are also very good, but this is Portland so getting good beer somewhere is nearly the default setting, IMHO.
The TV was set to a reality show, which wasn't really great for dinner, but other than that was a fine evening out.
Amazing sandwiches every time!! Crispy bread, delicious combos, and super quick.
It’s a lot more cost effective to select one of their curated sandwiches than building your own.
I’ve tried their gluten free bread before and it was so good that I had to double check with them that it was indeed gluten free 😃
The waiter was beyond knowledgeable, turns out he was the owner. Food great. The menu could use more vegan and gluten-free options. The drinks are amazing. Great experience for our group!
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.
Such a great hidden gem!! Huge portions and high quality food with great flavor. They also adjusted the spice level perfectly for my wimpy taste buds, but my partner got the heat they were looking for too. The menu is labeled gluten-free, which was a great comfort for my partner's Celiac disease as well.
But even better, they have kind staff and unexpectedly good service, especially for a place where you order on a touch screen and only have contact with a human to pick up your food. I had a minor complaint about the taste of the pineapple in my fried rice, and with no questions, they immediately made me a new one with new pineapple and told me to take both portions home. Then, two different employees came out to make sure the second round of pineapple was better, and even offered to make me a third one 😂 we will definitely be back!!
We used to love Little River Cafe. It was great place for a decent lunch on our way into town. Husband would get the BLT and I would get the Salmon Salad as I can't eat gluten and that was my only option. The last time we went my salmon was undercooked. The owner was there and remedied it immediately. I know food, and I know when salmon is undercooked. We went there last Sunday for lunch and it is likely the last time we'll go. I know we're all struggling and trying to save money but offering only disposable cups for water was the first disappointment. They used to, at the very least, have washable plastic cups. This is not why I'm writing this review. Every item in my salmon salad was old or, literally rotting. The apple slices were dry and tasteless. The salmon was dry. The avocado was rotting and sure tasted like it. The lettuce, all of it, was rotting. You know when oak leaf turns black and slimy when it's old? That was my whole plate. It was disgusting. It is NEVER OK to serve anyone rotting food. They were busy and the owner was no where in sight and frankly I didn't think the kid behind the counter would give a shit (if you ever watch Gilmore Girls think Brennen in Luke's Diner). So we left. And, sadly, we won't be going back.
Stopped in on a busy First Friday, and was thrilled to see they offered gluten-free buns as an option. The manager Haley was super sweet and helping everyone out. Looking forward to eating there again soon!
I came in with low expectations, I mean it’s a hospital coffee shop… and was so impressed! I got the two egg breakfast with gluten free toast and ate it so fast I could take a picture! The bacon was perfectly crispy and thick, nailed the over easy eggs and the gluten free toast was some of the best I’ve had! For dessert I had a pumpkin spice latte with oat milk and a gluten free salted caramel chocolate chunk cookie. All delightful. Staff was super friendly and I found out it’s a locally owned family business. If you’re at OHSU it’s an amazing option!
Wonderful breakfast sandwiches and GLUTEN FREE option for any sandwich on the menu! Yolko Ono is the go to for sure but Sriracha Mix A Lot is also a must try!
I drove past this place for months and finally decided to try them after I googled “gluten free Indian food.” This place is so good. We get the buttered chicken and vindaloo lamb every time. We add in sides like algo gobi and kuruma. The portions are enough for two people to eat two full meals twice. It’s so hard to stop eating it because the flavors are amazing. This place is a hidden gem. Do yourself a favor and try them.
My family visited Huber’s while in Portland earlier this month. My ex husband lived in Portland for many years so he was eager to take us to this institution.
My son and his girlfriend had the Spanish coffee and it is a must if you come here.
I’m Celiac with a true milk allergy & like always if I eat out am very cautious. Our waiter was so kind (I get a lot of eye rolls when inquiring about allergens/cross contamination etc.) and spoke with the chef to guarantee all that i had was safe. It was delicious.
The vibe is very old school and inviting as soon as you walk through the front doors. I loved looking at all the historical photos of Huber’s and downtown Portland over the years. We sat in the bar at a table. It was full but service was excellent.
We will be back for breakfast the next time we come.
Food cart, so outdoor seating only. Vegan awesomeness. Good amount of food. Most menu items can be gluten free or soy free too. Unique style and flavors not found anywhere else.
Each dish was a masterpiece in itself. Something as simple as olives and chickpeas was elevated to a really delicious dish. The halibut and pork chops were both fantastic.
The service was terrific. One of us eats gluten free and they were extremely knowledgeable about it.
Highly recommended.
Cutest coffee shop! I got a cold brew with maple syrup and coconut milk. I really appreciated the barista asking me about how much milk I wanted and poured it in front of me. I got a gluten free oat, blueberry muffin that my kids loved along with a chocolate chip cookie. I love all the plants and staff was friendly!
I don't go to Portland Oregon that often but then again maybe I should. I definitely recommend SUNRICE Restaurant. I got there early and they had just finished making a big catering order. There were stacks of takeout lined along the shelf ready to deliver. I finally placed my order as I met tj the owner made his suggestions. As I am Celiac and lactose intolerant. I went back and forth between the fish & chicken. I went with the marinade chicken and I can truly say it was the best I have ever had. Soft tender garlic, orange flavor explodes with every bite.
I love the fact that I had never been to this restaurant and found this gem! I'm sure the other food choices in the menu are also delicious. I will just have to come back and try them all out. Wishing you all success, & happiness
Thank you so much
Wow, so fresh, great quality, great service, highly recommend! I did build your own bowl, they were very helpful with gluten free needs. Can't wait to go back!
Super small space so I recommend doing take out but like the other Sesame Collective locations the flavors, quality of food, and customer service are superb.
They have a menus marked up for allergies/dietary restrictions (gluten and vegan).
We got the hummus with burnt beef ends (possibly their best dish, were obsesses) and Chicken Shwarma, they swapped cucumbers for pita for me and I was still so full I didn't even miss the pita. Plus it was so flavorful!
All their burgers can be vegan and gluten free! Super allergen friendly menu.
Order through the staff or online so you don't even have to wait. Great food and drinks!
We stumbled into this place hangry and lost tourists. The servers were very warm and helpful ☺️ ordered all different food and we all were very satisfied for the price. They were very timely too. Thank you 🙏 gluten free option for the avocado toast was great!
Open for reservations starting October 31st! We had an 8pm reservation.
We tried Bay Shrimp & Potatoes, Salmon Crudo (subbed the cured lemon gel with yuzu to make it gluten free), Roasted Potato with Bacon and Crème Fraîche, Gorge dessert.
The salmon crudo (w/ the yuzu) was our favorite! The flavors were outstanding.
Portions are small, appetizer size. We didn’t opt for the Grand Dishes which are $130-$240.
The the restaurant and the entire hotel is beautiful. We had a window seat with a beautiful city view. There is a covered outdoor balcony near the bar.
The servers were kind and accommodating for both gluten free and dairy-free options. They had plenty of options that could be made gluten free, but were not very many options that could be made dairy free. We hope this changes in the future.
Perfect place to stop in on a break from work. Good breakfast and lunch options. Best snack selection in the area. Lots of vegan, gluten free, and vegetarian options. Staff is always nice and food is fresh.
One of my family’s favorite places to eat, sometimes we get our food to go and it’s always delicious. I love that they have many Gluten free options 🩷 even my picky eater eats here without any issues. It’s in a great spot, even if you’re on trimet it’s easy to get to.
Celiac friendly
