Absolutely top rate everything! My aunt and I stopped in here around 2pm on a Friday after a long hike. It was hot and we were starving. I ordered the Roasted Pork Belly Banh Mi w/ Cloeslaw and a Mango Passion fruit Smoothie for $15 because of the happy hour deal. My aunt ordered the Chicken Katsu Banh Mi and she said it was really really good. The Roasted Pork Belly Banh Mi was perfection, it was so tasty, the bread was amazing, and all of the veggies were so crisp and flavorful. The smoothie was delicious! You could really taste the passion fruit, it was wonderful. We were treated so well by the employees. The air conditioning felt great after the hike. There are a handful of tables inside and a good amount of tables outside with gorgeous patio coverings. There are about 4 designated parking spots and the rest is street parking. read more

BMU has always been sorta solid but not exceptional in my experience, but I haven't been in a while. I was considering giving them another chance but sadly I won't be going there any time soon because I saw they have a disgusting AI generated a-frame sign out on the street. Not only does it make the food look super unappetizing, it makes me feel like if they are willing to cut corners there, why should I trust them to make my food. read more

Hmm. Maybe I didn't order the best dish? Is there a favorite here? I figured the beef pho would be a solid choice. Pho should be a quick serve but this took a while. But yeah naw, what a let down. Flavor was mediocre. Literally zero fat in the broth or in meat. Only like 4-6 thin slices of over boiled meat, maybe two bites of noodles? It was definitely the most disappointing pho I've ever had. To be fair the staff was friendly. The place is nice enough. On the off chance I'm in the area again and want to give them another shot at I guess a banh mi is what I should have ordered, and may yet try again. read more

Great banh mi! Very fresh, and love the location. The service was great, and the ambience was also very good. read more

Banh Mi Up - Grilled Pork Banh Mi - Vietnamese Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Ordering at the counter is a treat here because everyone is so nice!! I'm so serious. I have always had such good times here because of the people. So shout out to the banh mi up team! I order the same two items every time. But today I got the one vegan banh mi option. Tofu. SO GOOD. So juicy and the sandwich is massive and so fresh. They do not skimp out - you are getting a full meal (maybe even leftovers). Now that it's nice out and their patio has really grown in it's such a vibe to sit outside. Shaded but bright. Will bring more friends here this summer. Easy place to go solo or with a few friends. Highly recommend! read more

i had their chicken katsu banh mi for the first time today and omggggg . It was soooo delicious, freshly fried chicken, crispy veggies and fresh cilantro. HIGHLYYYYY recommend this place. I will absolutely be back. I picked up my food after ordering online, but it really says something that i still got a great glimpse into what their service is like as well. I was offered a to-go water cup for free because i probably looked like i needed it, and it made me even more enthusiastic about wanting to come back here!!! Can't wait to eat inside sometime soon. read more

Oh yeah if you're hungry here you couldgo. Toasty chewy salty sweet hot just amazing mmm! We haven't visited it we just get it from uber and it's always good and never cold. They deserve your business! read more

Came in to pick up an order and they were playing a song I love while the food was still being prepared. Suddenly the kitchen started blasting music so loud that the worker turned off his music in the front. What kind of establishment lets the kitchens music blast over the music for the customers in the front? Why would this spot think it's ok for everyone to be held hostage to loud ass music blasting out of the kitchen? It's completely inconsiderate to the other staff members and the customers. Seems like the kitchen staff walks all over everyone else working there and has no respect for anyone else. read more

Ordered from Banh Mi Ip for delivery. I ordered the Pork Belly Banh Mi and a noodle dish, and both were delicious. It was my first time having a Banh Mi and I loved the taste of the pork belly along with all of the vegetables. The noodle dish was great until I poured too much fish sauce (the whole container they sent) into it and that is my fault. I loved the food and would order again. My food arrived quickly and as I ordered it! I recommend this place. read more

The food eaten inside the restaurant which we had done before, was absolutely wonderful. We opted to do takeout last night and the food was horrible. I doubt we will go back to eating there again after having takeout that just didn't cut it for quality, menu, description, or ingredients. I am very disappointed, and I just live up the road. It's sad that they will likely not get my business again. read more

The family and I were driving back to the Bay Area from Seattle and looking for a spot to pick up a quick lunch. Banh Mi Up was a bit off I-5, but the menu looked good and accommodated a wide range of diets. We thought, why not? I'm so glad we stopped!!! The vegan pork belly and braised tofu banh mi sandwiches were SO GOOD. Better than any we've had in the Bay Area (and there are a lot of banh mi places in the Bay)! The texture and flavor of the vegan pork was incredible, and a week later, we're still reminiscing about how good it was. In fact, everything we had was excellent - the grilled chicken and pork belly banh mi, the slaw that accompanied the sandwiches, and the iced coffee. Service was great, too - everyone was super nice and accommodating. If I lived in Portland, I'd eat here all the time. YUM! read more

This was my first visit and only my 2nd or 3rd Banh Mi of all time. The owner was very helpful helping me choose and recommended tofu, mushrooms, and grilled onions. It was fantastic. The bread was very soft and fresh. Everything was cooked to perfection and the fresh ingredients were fresh. I forgot to say that the sandwich was a very generous size. I'll be back! read more

Tried this today because I was craving a banh mi. I really enjoyed the sandwich the bread was light and fluffy but had the perfectly crispy crust. The pork belly was tender and juicy and being fried was a nice touch. I really enjoyed the house sauce on the sandwich and kind of wish there was a little more meat. The Coleslaw was tasty too. I got the butterfly tea lemonade and it was like a sparkling lemonade with butterfly pea tea and passion fruit puree, very tasty and refreshing. Location is small inside but has a large patio which will be awesome once it's warm. Can't wait to go back. Service was friendly and quick. read more

With no doubt, the first thing that popped out at us was the Pork Belly offerings which isn't something you would typically see for Bahn Mi. So we decided to order the Roasted Pork Belly sandwich and rice bowl. They were both very delicious and went so well with the pickled condiments! We also opted to try the Vegan Vietnamese Iced Coffee. If you like coconut milk, it was really good. We were on a tight schedule so we took it to go. We lived in St. John's for a few years before moving to Hillsboro, but will definitely add this place on the list whenever we're in the area. read more

We ordered our food to-go as the indoor dining area is tiny. On a pretty day, their outdoor setup looks fantastic! We ordered the Vegan Pork Belly Bahn Mi and Fried Veggie Wontons. The service was wonderful, our order came out quickly and was packaged thoughtfully. The food? Insanely fresh and flavorful. First thought about the vegan pork? "How do they do that??!!" It's SO flavorful and flawlessly executed. We will absolutely be back again (and again). read more

Who doesn't love all these great Vietnamese options!? I ended up ordering the chicken katsu banh mi. It was really good, but the chicken wasn't really like a gratuitously katsu, more of just a fried chicken (no panko breading). It was still good but the chicken could have been more tender. The flavors were great and the pickled veggies were bomb. Don't sleep on the mango mint smoothie it was 10/10 would recommend. read more

Banh Mi Up - Chicken katsu banh mi - Vietnamese Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I met up a friend here for lunch as it was a convenient spot for us. It's nice that they have both indoor and outdoor seating. The outside patio is nice. It is counter service, and once you order, you find a place to sit. I ordered the combo vermicelli bowl and also a roasted pork banh mi to share. I think I may have come here on an off day as the chicken and pork for my vermicelli bowl was a bit dry. The roasted pork was a bit dry, and the bread could be toasted a bit longer. I think having extra hot sauce would help, but they were all out and had whatever was left in the table. Again, maybe an off day, I'll have to come back again. read more

They get busy fast, but that's understandable because the food is amazing! The service was also excellent. I visited late at night, and despite the 20-minute wait due to how backed up they were, they offered me free drinks while I waited inside. The food was absolutely delicious! I tried their vegan options, and they were fantastic. If I lived nearby, I'd come here all the time, but I'll definitely visit again whenever I get the chance! read more

Banh Mi Up - Chicken Katsu Sandwich, Grilled Pork Sandwich - Vietnamese Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Always order the same thing and it's always different depending on who is cooking it seems. I have been in Food and beverage for over 22 years so I leave this review with understanding and knowledge however charging someone that orders extra tofu and getting just a few pieces when it's $4.00 extra isn't good and honest customer service. I also get extra veggies and noodles which makes my dish well over $ 20.00. The consistency needs major improvement I never get all the ingredients mentioned on the description from THEIR menu. This doesn't make me feel like a valued customer! Get better! Do better for paying customers who work hard for their money. read more

Sitting down to eat pho for lunch was... purely uncomfortable. Music blasting to pump up the kitchen staff with no regard to volume levels for customers. Why? To discourage customers to sit down and only order out? Very puzzling. read more

Super speedy when it comes to takeout order. The items were separated and packaged well. The food wasn't as fresh as it could have been (banh mi wasn't warm, tofus weren't crispy etc.) but kinda to be expected when it comes to takeout. Their flavors were consistently good across all items. Very fresh ingredients as well. The Chicken Pho came with lemongrass grilled chicken which was pretty novel for us but worked really well. The chicken was juicy, tender, and flavorful. Loved it! Huge, huge portion of noodles. Like seriously so much. The one bowl of pho could have fed 2 people easily. Broth was on the heavy side but still nice. Great addition of the chinese donut on the side. Will be looking out for more of this in the future. The Chicken Banh Mi used the same chicken as that in the pho. I enjoyed the butteriness of the baguette and pork pate that paired perfectly with the pickled veggies and herbs. Not overly sauced either. The coleslaw that came with it was interesting at first, kinda dry, but it grows on you. Really like the fried shallots and cashew. The Tofu Plate was also a hit. Would really like to try this fresh cause we imagine the tempura tofus would have been crispy on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside. Still it's a tasty item and I really enjoyed the high quality tofus that they used. Definitely want to be back to dine in. read more

Loved this spot. Doesn't get much better than pork belly banh mi, chicken wings and vermicelli!! Located in the heart of St. Johns, I am only disappointed that I didn't know about this place sooner. We absolutely loved the outdoor seating area. While we visited on a hot summer day, we were met by nice misters and a shaded seating area. The menu gave you incredible options, I guarantee you can't go wrong! We decided on the Garlic Chicken Wings, Pork Belly Banh Mi, and Lemongrass Vermicelli. Each dish was wonderfully unique packed with bold flavors leaving you wanting more. The accompanying sauces were so good! Hot and sweet all at the same time. Very much looking forward to heading back to try different dishes! read more

Ordered grilled pork vermicelli bowls , the meat was tough like jerky and my spring roll Was burnt ( inedible)!! I know they can do better!! read more

Ewww. Ordered the vegan pho and it smells and looks so gross. :( The bok choy was inedible and the rest of the veggies were mush and the carrots had a strange white center that was almost translucent. The veggies topping that come with were mostly fresh but the tofu was extremely meh, somewhere weirdly in between being air fried and untouched. There's a strange smell coming from the broth and there's a strange greasy residue layered on the top. It doesn't smell like chili oil, but I'm assuming that's what it is? I'd rather just have had the broth instead of added oil. They put the hoisin sauce on the side, why not put the oil on the side too? Overall generally just hard to eat bc I can't get past the smell. Will likely toss. Wish I had different broth at home I could use. read more

Great service! Good food! Great outdoor seating! Reasonable prices. Perfect for little Saint John's neighborhood.

When the restaurant closes earlier than expected on a weekend because they sold out then you know it's worth the visit! Luckily we came an hour before closing and all the items we wanted to try were available. Indoor space is closed but they have a cute outdoor area where there is music playing, a fire pit, and a couple tables to enjoy your meal or drink while you wait for your order to go. Some parking spots in the front but easy to also find free parking in the neighbourhood. | WHAT WE GOT | + Grilled Lemongrass Chicken Bánh Mì + Grilled Shrimp Garlic Noodles + Crispy Wings with the House Fish Sauce + Roasted Pork Belly Bánh Mì All items were flavorful and delicious! My favorite was the grilled shrimp garlic noodles since I love me some noodles. The Bánh Mìs were hard to beat too since they had wonderful and chewy bread, filling was plenty, and fresh. Honestly all items we had were great so whatever you pick will be good. *They also have an alcohol menu inside when ordering if you wanted to order a drink to enjoy with your meal on their cute outdoor area! We also got to meet the owner and she was the sweetest person! Super friendly coming out to check on us and even gave us a roasted pork belly to go. THANK YOU! She also let us know she'll be opening up another location on Alberta. Be sure to check them out at this location or the next one because food is delicious and the owner is super welcoming! :D read more

Amazing food! Cute outdoor area and fantastic service! Perfect neighborhood restaurant

I come here often because it's next to my house and it's decent food. I usually get the Banh Mi but sometimes I get the garlic noodles. This last time I did get the garlic noodles and the serving size was cut in half, the pork was cold, and the dish was missing its usual side of greens. I went in to try to get my side of greens and was told that they took out the side of greens for the garlic noodles. However, that was not reflective of the menu. I ordered the dish because I wanted the greens. I would expect that they would at least try to remedy the issue by offering me a side of greens or an alternative item but I was just met with an I'm sorry and we will be sure to update the menu. All of this and the price of the noodle dish has not changed and in fact I believe has increased in price. If you change a dish, the first thing you should do is change the menu before anything else. Otherwise what's the point of the menu. read more

Ate in, the person taking the order was kind of rude but overall the food is great Their shrimp tempura 10/10. They have better wings then BWW try em! Dip style beef stew is a must Also ordered the angus steak pho. 8/10 (well done meat because I had my kiddo with me, don't judge him) read more

As I lay here sprawled on the couch in a comfortable food coma I reflect upon the actions and experience that got me here. Ordering the Combo Rice Bowl was a good decision as it provided my belly plenty of quality food for a good price.
