Jade Teahouse

This is my favorite Asian food in town! I don’t eat soy so I struggle to find Thai or Vietnamese food. Their peanut sauce is naturally soy free and I’ve never gotten sick from anything here.

I got super sick after eating here. Got an instant headache and stomach problems. I ordered the Bahn Bot Loc and Fresh Wide Rice Noodles. Both say gluten free on the menu but there must be some kind of cross contamination happening.

Favorite spot. Amazing food. They have a few things that set them apart for gluten free, namely the fried foods are gluten free including spring rolls and they have a number of pastries too. So this is the place you can go to live out your fantasies of fried spring rolls, big cookies, etc. My favorite is the grilled pork vermicelli salad with fried spring rolls in it.

Jade Bistro is one of our local favorites. Their Thai tea is on point - which is important. Every dish I’ve ordered from here has been delicious. My favorites are the Sesame Beef/Heavenly Beef and the Pad Khing Pork Belly. They have sooo many gluten free options to choose from, some of the pastries are even gluten free, I love the lavender macarons! The staff is always very friendly. The restaurant is always clean and we like the atmosphere. The patio in the spring/summer/fall is really nice. I highly recommend Jade Bistro and Teahouse!

During our meal (ok, to be honest twice while we were perusing the menu) I kept saying, "how did we not know about this place?!"

Dedicated Fryer gets big snaps ***

I had the egg rolls and Udon soup with house made GF noodles. The portions are generous and the ingredients taste fresh. The 'udon' noodles are more like rice noodles, but they were chewy and comforting and so so good. The fresh thai basil and cilantro that came with everything made it extra good.

I believe our server told us there was very little in the place that even had gluten in it and they keep things separate. This is not one of those 'this and that can be MADE gluten free' places- things just ARE gluten free. This is a gem in Sellwood, or Portland for that matter!

What a treat to have so many Celiac safe options! My (non-Celiac) husband and I loved the spring rolls, salt & pepper squid, and a homemade rice noodle dish. The tapioca dumplings had a delicious filling, but we didn’t love the dumpling texture.

I cannot say enough about how this place made me feel safe and that what I was requesting was a run of the mill dietary request. I just LOVED it. The variety of the food was awesome, and I got prompt responses when I questioned if something was GF or not. My entire family requested to eat here multiple times on our 1 week trip - I am the only celiac. The GF sesame balls and fresh wide noodles - amazing.

Truly one of my favorite place to eat. They have such great options, good staff and clearly labeled menu. I've eaten here several times with no reaction and have never been dissapointed with a new dish I try!

Ordered the beef pho, fried spring rolls and fries. No sensitivity reactions, and a huge plus—there doesn’t seem to be msg in the broth! (I didn’t have my typical msg reaction after eating it, and I didn’t taste!)

Love this place! It’s my favorite spot to meet a friend for lunch or tea. Great food!!

Love love the food here! Haven't had anything on the menu I didn't like, and never had a reaction.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I am so bummed that I have to give this place a bad rating. The food is amazing but unfortunately I have tried eating here a few times and I have had a bad reaction every time. I have celiac and I can't keep trying. Some of the items that are listed GF are actually not for sure GF. I was getting the egg rolls every time I went as they are labeled GF and I kept wondering why I wasn't feeling well after eating them. Last time we went, the manager told me they aren't sure if the oyster sauce in the egg rolls are gluten free and that it wasn't safe for me to eat if I am celiac. WHY would you label it that way if you aren't sure??? So I ended up eating the wide rice noodles and STILL got sick! I wonder if there is a questionable ingredient in those as well??? So disappointing.

Amazing food! Never a reaction. Can get crazy busy. Lots of options, even desserts.

Deliscious and great gf and vegan options.

This place is so good with most of the menu gf! I've been here several times and it is amazing. I have never gotten sick, even when they are extremely busy. Delicious food without the worry. Definitely go here.

Great selection, friendly and helpful staff!

Owned by a celiac. Great items on menu. Long lines on weekends.

Great GF & veg options, the kid was happy & we enjoyed the patio seating. The sequencing & timing of the food could be better, but the food was terrific.

We heard about this place from the ladies at Crave Bake Shop and were not disappointed!

Jade has a ton of gluten free options and some of the employees are (or are related to) celiacs so they know how careful they need to be.

The food is amazing!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

great food and great prices, almost everything is gf!

Amazing flavors, friendly staff but sadly it has not been a safe eating experience. I have tried eating there a number of times and have experienced mild to severe glutening symptoms during/after about 50% of our visits. I finally had to give up. No matter how tasty the food is, it just wasn't worth it. There are several other restaurants in Portland that we eat at regularly and safely.

Favorite gf restaurant. Love the macaroons and green bean dish.

The manager (or owner?) was very knowledgeable about gluten-free food and what I could eat on their menu - which was a lot! Most of what we had was amazing, and this is exactly what I wanted, awesome gluten-free Asian food. Everything was super fresh and super tasty. I don't know how the food is prepared in the back, but it seemed like they understand what to do and how to make everything safe. They even have gluten-free desserts! I would definitely come back to Sellwood, OR just to go here. If you can find a place on the patio, you should do it, it's beautiful outside!

I thought it was okay. We over ordered so we got a good sampling of the appetizers, noodles, salad and curry catfish. If this was not a gluten free restaurant it would be a mediocre Asian fusion restaurant. The chicken wings had too much sauce. The papaya salad was good. My daughter loved the calamari as this is something she can no longer eat at a regular restaurant. This is definitely no Pok Pok but good for people who wants a GF Asian fix.

Love the vermicelli salad and spring rolls! Chocolate Cookies are too dry.

Best Thai there is

Quite possibly the best french fries ever. All GF items are amazing.
