One of my favorite GF places!! The only gluten they have there is the bun on the burger - they only have tamari sauce no soy sauce used. AMAZING. Couldn’t recommend more 🍣🧡

Lovely evening at Bamboo Sushi in Portland . (I previously enjoyed Bamboo Sushi Santa Clara). Almost everything is gluten-free, and they take great care to find out about food allergies. In addition to being gluten-free, I am also dairy free. They made sure that I got was suited to me and there was no cross-contamination.

They did not have Omakase, so we had the setto chefs‘ menu instead.

We started with thin sliced Japanese cucumbers, marinated in a vinegar and sugar mixture. Then we got the sushi & sashimi set. Incredibly generous servings. To end there was a brownie with ice cream. The brownie had a little bit of butter, so I didn’t eat it. My husband loved it. I decided, “what the heck.“ I had a bite and I was in heaven!

The party next to us, also, Gluten-free, ordered some delicious maitake mushrooms, two fish collars (yellowtail tuna & amberjack— the fattier fish tasted better), steak with broccoli & 4 pieces of nigiri. It was Happy Hour so he “got greedy” & ordered two fish collars. He packed up one fish collar and most of the meat. He loved it and he comes here all the time.

(I am gluten intolerant, and can usually tell if I’ve had gluten because of mouth sores afterward. I didn’t get get any. But I wouldn’t vouch for someone who is Celiac.)

Happy hour until 6 PM. Extremely cute neighborhood, well worth a long walk around and popping into lots of adorable stores. Highly recommended.

I absolutely loved this place. Well-informed and welcoming staff which was great - but the FOOD! The shrimp tempura and the albacore sashimi were highlights but everything was amazing. Last time I had tempura was pre-diagnosis and I was so happy I wanted to hug my server. Highly recommend!

This place was really good. Wouldn’t rate as excellent though. Ordered the spicy salmon crispy rice, Friday the 13th, full circle and nw philly rolls. The full circle was the best!! The rest were good except the spicy salmon crispy rice, neither of us enjoyed that much. I would definitely eat here again but probably not go all out next time

All GF and very tasty. The place is spendy. Rolls are a bit expensive for the size and the sashimi platters are not worth the cost IMO. That said, everything we had was delicious and it’s worth the extra cost for truly GF sushi. Only thing with gluten is a hamburger bun…literally. The location is lovely and I will keep going back.

Super conscientious. Also super tasty!! Pretty safe and I’ve not gotten sick. Everything but the burgers are GF and those are prepared in a separate area. Some soy in rolls - very good about telling you which ones. Fried is fine as it’s a dedicated fryer. :)

I am full Celiac and I was AMAZED by how much I could eat here! I even had tempura (which is usually a no-no but they use rice and almond flour) and I made sure to tell my waitress I was allergic to gluten. They were so accommodating. Their entire menu is gluten free except maybe 1 or 2 things. This was hands down the BEST sushi experience I’ve ever had as a Celiac. 10/10 recommend.

You know when you go to a sushi place and you're like "damnit! I should be able to eat everything because soy sauce should actually be made of soy and tempura should be rice flour!". This is the place you've been dreaming of.

Had a bunch of sushi rolls and tempura at a party that were made from Bamboo Sushi. I was pretty skeptical but called the restaurant to confirm that what we had was GF. I wish I ate more. It was all so good, but I didn’t know if I could trust it. Felt totally fine afterwards and now am really looking forward to stopping in for dinner sometime soon!

Many items on menu are just gluten free, no longer need to be modified to be gluten free (changed 2-3 months ago) Gluten free tamari on tables, use gluten free tempura, etc. Gluten free fryer. Sustainable, no MSG, no GMOs. Super yummy. I especially love the hoke poke box!

I’ve never had such amazing options at a sushi restaurant, everything, except 3 items is gluten free, including their soy sauce and tempura. It was so fun getting to have tempura! Went with non-gf friends who found it was exceptional food as well.

Except for the bun on the hamburger the entire menu is gluten free. Excellent food with outstanding staff & service. We love their food, always safe, plenty of delicious offerings besides sushi which we don’t partake. We have eaten there many times and taken friends who are not GF who love eating at Bamboo Sushi too. Our favorites are the cucumber salad, spicy & sweet cauliflower with cashew nuts, a white fish served grilled with an orange broth & shrimp tempura!!! Everything on the menu is memorable. It is our favorite restaurant, at a fun venue to visit!
