My husband, son and I came here for a birthday dinner and it was absolutely fabulous. I could not be more pleased with the staff and the food. The restaurant itself is beautiful and it is a truly wonderful experience. I really enjoyed being here for my birthday and enjoying this overall with my son and husband and son,They even made sure not to cause contaminate with my gluten and dairy allergies and I really appreciated that kindness.

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!

Mary League

Great gluten-free pasta!

Marisa Biondi

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

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.

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!

Mario Santos

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

Eli Robinson

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

Mokihana

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!

I love this cafe! I used to live in the neighborhood and have missed it. Great gluten free sandwich today! I hear Jola will be offering dinner service starting Wednesday next week! I'll be returning on my next visit to Portland to try it out!

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.

Jeff E

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.

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!!

Whitney Head-Potter

The gluten-free free pasta was fantastic. The food was fresh, flavorful, and delicious.

Elizabeth Jones

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

Emily Turner

I had the mikes hot honey chicken sandwich and it was so good. My friend got one of the burgers with the gluten free bun and she enjoyed hers too :)

Michael Williams

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.

Ren Prince

I'd give more stars if I could! The staff was very kind, the restaurant was cute, and the food was absolutely incredible. I have celiac disease but there were tons of gluten free options (the gf pita was divine). I also accidentally left my phone in the booth after dinner, but they went out of their way to catch up to me and make sure I didn't leave it behind. A wonderful experience and I will definitely be back.

Yuliya N

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 😃

Teru Stalcup

The food was great! They have gluten free options! The price for dinner was great with plenty of leftover food. The garlic sauce is legit. Be prepared for death breath.

Esther Rogers

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!

Alfred James

Tommy Darden

Kure offers a variety of downtown vegan and gluten-free options. The staff is consistently friendly, the smoothies are consistently delicious, and their breakfast sandwich is truly impressive!

Stephen Fitz

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.

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.

Skip New

Went here with my teammates from work. Their food is delicious! I had the Cioppino that came with enough toasty French (?) bread to mop up the flavorful broth. Lots of mussels, fish, and other seafood to fill out the large, full bowl - enough to take home for a meal later. Service was timely, friendly, and efficient, and the atmosphere like a neighborhood meeting place. They also had a menu ready for my gluten-free friend - an unexpected surprise! It was a bit spendy, but, then again, everything is these days. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because the entryway is not readily apparent - I had to walk around the entire building to find the door. It was well worth it, though.

Josina Reaves

Needed good coffee and great food and got both with a view! Breakfast sandwich on gluten-free bread was excellent! Perfect gf bread, which can be hard to find. Husband's breakfast wrap was beautiful and full of veggies. And the iced coffee was amazing!

Gypsy Burks

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!

Dawn Moore

Very little gluten and dairy free. Auto surcharge. We waited a long time to tab out due to technical issues and wrong bills

Jaclyn Smith

The staff is friendly and the food is pretty good, I usually get a gluten-free cheese slice, extra crispy. Oh, they do gf by the slice too!

Taylor from Portland

Everything on the menu is clearly marked gluten free, they even mark the teriyaki sauce. I ordered macaroni salad for my partner and they packaged it separately in a plastic tub AND wrote “gf” on my box… There were so many other green flags with how the food was cooked and prepared, I so so appreciated how easy and “normal” it felt to order something allergen friendly :)

Ben Miller

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!

Robert Walker

I saw this place pop up in Instagram and was excited to try it. The food was decent.. not amazing .. not terrible... just ok. Very oily. The staff were terrible! They were rude and showed no impatient answering the few questions I had. My friend can not rat gluten and the waitress couldn't put forth any effort to help her narrow down the dish selection. Then when they brought the food out they did it one dish at a time 5 min apart. Keep in mind this is lunch so we are trying to eat and get back to work. When they brought the food to the table they would only put it infront of my friend. It was if I wasn't even sitting there. The list could go on but in a nut shell. I will never return.

John Maseda

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.

Ken Boyar

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.

susan stier

I want to love this place but don’t be fooled by gluten free menu designations. I got hit with gluten hard. I had them check with the chef but got hit anyway. Afterwards I checked their status on find me gluten free and sure enough many have had this same issue.

Aubree Peckham

No public bathroom. Must get code from staff. Clean dining area. Gluten free , vegetarian and vegan options.

becky halioua

Awesome ramen spot for a quick bowl. Super friendly staff and fast service. Would definitely be a regular here if I lived here! They offer rice noodles as a gluten free option which I loved, and you can switch broth in the soups too.

Jody McNannay

In a word, AWESOME. Everything in this place is top notch. The owner and her staff are welcoming and know their jobs. They listen and deliver on sometimes silly and ridiculous requests--which is what we've all come to expect in a coffee shop. In addition to the best mochas (according to my husband), they also offer a great variety of pastries (vegan and gluten free, too) and killer breakfast sandwiches. The secret is out--Driftwood Coffee rocks!

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

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.

Catherine Liggett Foley

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!

Josephine Mannone

The online menu stats gluten free - but there are not gluten free slices - which makes it hard for a group to have lunch

The selection of Gluten-free food is amazing and good

Kevin Brosnan

Excellent Japanese style curry. Vegan and gluten free options.
