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!

We purchased this late at night and did not have any high expectations because we did understand the store was gonna be closing. I don’t think I’ve ever had better Thai food in my whole entire life. It was the best food I have had in a long time. I am not one to write reviews, but this food was incredible. First things first, the Thai milk tea is authentic tasting milk, tea, and is perfectly sweet and is super addicting. Second we got Padruam-Mit and I am gluten-free so I didn’t think it was going to taste this incredible and full of flavor, but oh my goodness it was absolutely incredible. I don’t think you could find something better. Lastly we got a curry called Kaeng Panang And that had the perfect amount of spice and The savory was amazing. They also accommodate well for allergies, which is very much appreciated. Overall, you must try this place it is the best type food I’ve ever had.

Gluten free pizza available. The crust is crisp and holds up the toppings, but not cracker thin. It’s very good!

Alex Rodriguez

Gluten free fried mozzarella. Was insane. Never would have guessed it was gf if the menu didn’t say it. Chicken parm and bolognese were top notch as well

Beth Jensen

Atmosphere is nice. Service was lovely. Food was not great. Both the gluten free pasta I had and the spaghetti that my husband had tasted bland like something you’d get from a jar and throw together at home when you didn’t feel like cooking. Salad was good though. Disappointed with the cost for what we actually got.

Mario Santos

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

Kim Grist

What a great experience. Family of six and we were all so well taken care of. I have severe dairy and gluten allergies and they checked and double checked any of my food choices. They were friendly m, considerate and very attentive to our entire family.

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.

We met here with out of town friends on April 30, 2024; three of us are from Hawaiʻi, so it was the perfect place to meet. The food was wonderful! I had the guava chicken, which was broke da mouth, and my friend had the teriyaki ahi, which she said was perfect and was so happy that all of their shoyu is gluten free. Hubby had the Sweet & Sour Veggie Stir Fry, which he really liked. We were so busy talking that I forget what my other friend had! He pronounced it delicious. The mac salad was fantastic! Our server was outstanding! (I wish I knew his name.) He made sure we were well taken care of, was friendly and helpful, and made us feel extremely welcome. Highest praise to him; he's a real asset to the restaurant. We were there for two hours, and had so much to catch up on, but our server never rushed us. He took photos for us at our request, and did a great job with that, too. If I could give more than five stars, I would. Everything about our time there was terrific!

A must stop for people with celiac or gluten intolerance. Tons of fantastic gluten-free options.

Tyler Sakura

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

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!

The woman working at the front was super nice and helpful (I sadly missed her name) and she had great recommendations. My friend and I got the beet salad with ricotta and kids mac and cheese and both was really yummy. They also have gluten free and dairy free options. Parking can be a bit tricky, as it is a very busy area, but very relaxed and nice spot. Will definitely come back and try more different dishes!

The gluten free pizza is white cardboard, terrible, everyone at the table hated it and it is way overpriced and worse than frozen pizza. *Update 2025... still sucks so bad. Was unfortunate enough to hang out with friends who ordered GF pizza from them.. still rubbery and gross with close to zero toppings.

Amazing place! I have celiac disease and they were so accommodating. My family loved the food too! They have a lot of great gluten free options and the servers are so knowledgeable about the dishes! They even have a separate gluten free menu. Highly recommend for safely, quality, knowledge, and available options!

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.

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

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.

Had an evening food tasting here - there were several courses of delicious food provided with the experience. We added on the apple cider vinegar drink, which was the right choice to warm us up for the winter food tasting. Although I had noted with my booking that I'm gluten-free, they brought me a few courses with gluten. I had to keep checking and waiting for a revised course to be provided when the mistake was made. If you have a food sensitivity/allergy, keep this in mind and make sure you check with each serving/meal. If you do a group booking, make sure to let them know you want separate servings as they were bringing us one plate for each course for our group, until we asked them to bring us separate ones. Considering the food tasting is an expensive experience and they charge per person, this was the first time I was brought a single plate/serving for a group booking.

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!
