Review of Bamboo Sushi

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.
