Bamboo Sushi

One of my favorite places to eat GF 🩷 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 🍣🧡

Edited August 21st 2020. So it turns out they are using imitation crab. I don't know if that's a covid-19 or if that's an always thing but be careful of the crab. Maybe they will lose the attitude when we ask about gluten-free items now. So disappointed. Celiacs beware!! I'm so sad. I have celiac disease and with that am very limited to what I can eat. Bamboo has always been very good about telling customers about gluten in their food. Usually it's very safe, as they assure us it is. So much so we eat here at least once a week. We happen to eat there last night (June 7th, 2020). It was all I wanted after a 3 day fast. We ordered the rolls we always do, the ones we know are safe. I started getting sick within 30 minutes of finishing dinner. I haven't had this bad of a reaction in a very long time, which means I ingested a considerable amount of gluten. If you don't have any dietary restrictions with gluten please enjoy it, the food is absolutely amazing. If you are Celiac however please really consider whether or not to eat here. ❤

Celiac friendly?

No

This was so delicious. Definately not your usual sushi choices. And I was so excited to find out that most everything is gluten free. They have only the items with gluten marked on the menu. We tried nigiri that was dressed with different seasonings. Not like anything we'd had before, we were slightly leary, but it was very good. The tempura green bean roll was delicious with tuna on it. We will definately be back when visiting Portland again!! Plus they were so responsive to my allergy needs it was really great!! Very This was so delicious. Definately not your usual sushi choices.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We frequent this place! They've made all their sauces gluten free. I hope they make an egg free Mayo option next.

They updated their menu this summer and some of my favorite options aren't on there anymore. If they have the ingredients they can still make some though.

This staff and location is my favorite of all the bamboo locations, they know the menu and allergens and take care of you.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I have Celiac and the staff clearly told me what I could have off the gluten free menu. No reaction. Please note any gluten free dish with fried ingredients (tempura) shares a fryer with gluten dishes so NOT Celiac safe. Highly recommend the fresh salmon rolls and the scallop rolls.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The servers are very knowledgable about what can be made gluten-free and the menu is clearly marked. Plus the sushi is excellent!

I feel super safe here! very knowledgeable staff. Love it. they only have three items WITH gluten and they’re handled away from the gf food.

Edit 4/2024 They have changed (and improved) their menu. They still have only a few items that are not gluten free, but the new menu ADDS a gluten containing item in the sockeye salmon nigiri yakumi style. This is used in a couple additional items so be careful of the sockeye salmon nigiri!!

Original review Awesome place. Everything but 2 items (both buns) is gluten free. Safe fryer. Safe desserts. And really good and fresh sushi. Highly recommend.

Only items marked with G have gluten and everything else is GF including the tempura. So nice to pick just about anything on the menu and not have to go through with a fine toothed comb. Also just tamari sauce, no soy. Food was delicious. Had a bunch of special rolls and cauliflower starter. Didn’t get sick!

Pretty good sushi, not the best I’ve ever had but definitely on the good scale. Happy that most things were gluten free without worrying about cross contamination. Rolls were great.

Very average sushi.. Very high priced. Service is horrible. Safety wise they use to be fully gluten free but now have dishes with gluten on the menu.
