Great food! Very sensitive celiac- had no issues! Very friendly manager!! Dedicated kitchen and they make all of their own gf sauces, but they do have some non gluten free beer!

I'm celiac, and my husband drives all the way from Vancouver WA to Portland to get their delicious food. My nonceliac family enjoys the food too and we have ordered many of their dishes over the last three years. They have the most variety that I have seen in a GF restaurant so far. My only complaint is that they don't have any desserts!

The place is dedicated GF but we ordered vegetarian and the appetizer entrees and meals came back with pork!! I’m allergic to pork and we did delivery (it was definitely our order) so I couldn’t eat any of the food and we couldn’t get refunded.

My partner could eat it and said the food was fine but not especially good, and it definitely wasn’t cheap. I was pretty disappointed that I couldn’t eat anything after being so excited to finally get gf egg rolls. :/

Amazing food. Wonderful people, very kind. Nearly half their menu is vegan or can be made vegan. I got peanut pad thai and the tofu was incredible. However, I wouod have doubled the tofu and added broccoli. No reaction to the food whatsoever and I've been especially sensitive to peppers. Apparently not sensitive to curry spice. Highly recommend.

Butterfly Belly is such a fun restaurant experience! As a Celiac, dining is often isolating and emotionally exhausting, but Butterfly Belly tips that on it's head. The owner is enthusiastic, full of jokes and delight. The food is amazingly delicious Pan Asian, it is so fulfilling to get to habe access to a full menu of diverse Asian food. It is even on the authentic side, not on the Amercianized end of the spectrum. Best of all, owner plays karaoke, has instruments, and invites guests to play music. Sweet relief to get to be part of a social food scene.

What a great place for some gluten free Asian food. We had the sampler and it was a great choice. The pho broth so flavorful. The lettuce wraps delicious. Egg rolls, wings and so much more. The atmosphere simply enjoyable. Thanks to the owners such a fun night.

A truly delightful experience every time. All these bad reviews really need to go on over to Yelp. People living in GF restaurant deserts need to know whether a place is safe to eat at, and a 1-star review based on your moody night can tank confidence in the safety of a place for us serious Celiacs. I have been here dozens of times and it's not only one of the only safe pan-Asian GF restaurants in the country, the food is always great and the staff is always very kind. They're clearly overwhelmed with demand while understaffed from the pandemic, and you can't ruin such a wonderful restaurant for having some off-service nights. The owners are under a lot of stress and still here providing some of the only reliably safe and tasty food around, so don't let a few bad reviews keep you away from supporting such a lovely local business. I had great Pho here years ago and fantastic Pad Thai tonight, with a dozen other options in between. Give them a shot, and if you don't get painfully ill from your gluten reactions in general, please try not to be so harsh and compare the dedicated GF options on this app to regular restaurants. This space is a lifeline to many of us and the few Dedicated options that survive need support and a little extra leeway for their off nights. Butterfly Belly is better than the vast majority of GF options out there and helps people like me feel normal and safe for a change. Give them all the love you have to spare!

Food was cold and flavorless. The owner stood by our table complaining about homeless people for a half hour, then pulled out a PA system and stood on the sidewalk telling bad jokes making fun of homeless people.

If the food had been good, we could have handled him making it impossible for us to have our own conversation. Both combined just really made for a bad experience.

Entirely GF, rare chance to get food for us for Asian food. Loved the pork rolls. Owners are great and very friendly. Recommend the Nikki Spicey fiesty drink, very unique. Family restaurant vibe with all the pluses and minuses of that. We went twice during our trip here. Karaoke is encouraged, haha

I had the Pho-ty Four and spring rolls. The broth was tasty, the homemade hoisin sauce was yummy, and the service and atmosphere was fun. I didn’t get sick, and I enjoyed everything I ate. My friends said they wouldn’t have known their entrees were entirely gluten free had the restaurant not have advertised it! I will certainly be back.

I don’t seem to do well with this place. I especially seem to react to the pho. Not sure if it’s too much soy for me or there’s cross contamination - my body def seems to swell though. I usually minimize my soy.

Great that everything is gluten-free and that they deliver, but it wasn’t that tasty. The egg rolls were disappointing- rather greasy and soft. Perhaps if we’d eaten on-site it would have been better?

We travelled from Denver for this food! It was delicious! I have celiac and haven’t had calamari or spring rolls in like a decade. Needless to say, we ordered a ton of food! It was all great and I didn’t get sick. The pho was delicious and they make all the sauces in house! The menu is huge! Every celiac should travel here - it’s like Disneyland! The owners were great.

Amazing! The owners are lovely people, the atmosphere is fun (the owner/host can often be found singing karaoke and playing guitar from the host station) and the food is 100% safe.

I'm not a huge fan of fish sauce, and some of the items utilize more of it than I'd like, but the diversity of the menu makes this a non-issue. The menu is bigger than any gluten free menu you've ever seen. Pho, noodles, curries, fish, meat, veggies... they do it all.

I go here at least once a week.

Dedicated Gluten Free. A bowl of pho is between $10-$17 depending on meat choices. They make their hoisin sauce in house. No kids menu but my girls cleared their plates. There are other popular Asian dishes available.

I was visiting from out of state and this was my first time eating pho due to lack of confidence at other places when questioning about gluten. It didn’t disappoint. It is entirely gluten free! I think it was called the fit bowl or something that I ordered it had beef, chicken, and tofu. So good! Yummy egg rolls too. My sis ( non celiac) ordered a shrimp dish that both of us really loved! Staff was so genuinely friendly too! Also sells Gf beers. Would def recommend

I love any restaurant that I know is completely gluten free, but this place is a gem. I highly recommend their Pho!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place hits the spot! We missed Asian foods so much and the huge variety they have gives the option for everyone to find something they like. Everything they have is gluten free and they create all the sauces and broths from scratch in their kitchen (except sriracha which is gluten free anyways). Even the most sensitive Celiac's can dine here with confidence. They have amazing pho, korean barbecue, teriyaki, calamari, and spring rolls to name a few. We have not tried any of their alcoholic beverages, but they also have a large menu available. The owners are also extremely friendly and are lovely to chat with. I would highly recommend!

My brother, sister, and I visited here after our last minute Christmas shopping at the Saturday Market. It was absolutely delicious and everything I hoped for when wanting Asian food. Everything on the menu was gluten free, so safe for me to consume. Cooked fresh to order and a smaller establishment. The owner is a sweet guy and took good care of us...I wanted to go back before I left after the holidays, but no time. I've wanted it several times since being home...but 2000+ miles is a bit of a distance.

Excellent restaurant. Completely gluten free, including all their rice, noodles, and sauces. They also use all locally sourced beef and chicken.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing food and knowledgeable and friendly owners. This was the first meal I was able to sit down outside of my home months after my celiac diagnosis. I trust this restaurant that I’m not getting cross-contaminated with gluten. Liberating for someone with celiac! The salad rolls and yellow curry chicken were wonderful, and nothing tastes chemically or artificial, simply clean and flavorful. I am SO greatful for people and restaurants with the dedicated gluten free philosophy. We need more! Please!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This was a great find! Hubby loves pho and theirs is hands down the best. The server was funny and friendly. I was very excited to be able to enjoy an egg roll. We will be back when we visit Portland.

The staff was phenomenal. It’s 100% GF and dairy free. They have options for everyone including soy free! They are as locally sourced as possible and obviously responsible with who they buy from. We had egg rolls and pho and pan fried rice which was all amazing!!! Highly recommend!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Ah-mazing! Crispy, delicious egg rolls are a must. The staff were extremely knowledgeable and explained the menu thoroughly. The meatball pho was delicious and filling. Large portion sizes, attentive wait staff.
