I had the lemongrass pork. Delicious and highly recommend!

I saw the raving reviews so wanted to check this place out. The bahn mi is good bulgogi has good flavor. The meat is pretty chewy though, and I would say the combo definitely is not worth the extra 5 bucks. I'd stick to the sandwich. The service was pretty quick and the lady was very nice. It's a small hole in the wall location. I would however avoid this area after about 5/6pm. This area is home to many people whom reside outside lol. As someone who has been to almost every bahn mi place in Portland I will say comparing to best baguette, bahn mi fresh, and a few other bahn mi places i think killer bahn mi is the best! But it is quite spendy for a bahn mi. You pay for it in the amount of meat they give you but still. If you like this kind of bahn mi I'd recommend also checking out an xuyen bakery. It's this little bakery on like 51st and foster but they have some of the biggest bahn mis I've ever had for 1/2 the price.

Super expensive for wrong flavor of sandwich. They only give you 1 egg roll instead of two if you get a combo. Who wants one egg roll by itself? It was also very small (2 inches) and charred on the outside. With a coffee it was almost 20$ for a drink, 1 egg roll and a sandwich. The coffee was the only decent thing there.

There isn’t really anything I can say that hasn’t already been said by the 122 five star reviews before me, but I guess I’ll just reiterate that this place is amazing. At the time of leaving this review there are 122 five-star reviews, 2 four-star reviews, and 1 one-star review (and let’s be honest we all know that one was from someone over at Best Baguette across the street… I mean come on). I’ve had three sandwiches from here and all of them have been stellar. My favorite was the Chicken Katsu Banh Mi, but I’d happily eat any of them again. This place is now not just my favorite Banh Mi in Portland, but also my favorite fried chicken sandwich in general.

Their banh mi sandwiches are AMAZING. I even tried some of their chicken wings and they were just as incredible. Friendly staff to match their impeccable food. I highly recommend you stop in here for a bite to eat.
I was craving an authentic banh mi and I ordered the lemongrass chicken. It was so flavorful and packed with chicken. I asked for the signature killer sauce and jalapeños which it took it to even a higher notch! I will definitely come back!

A truly excellent sandwich. So good I went back a week later with my family. The barbecue pork was just exceptional, and the vegetables and bread used were higher quality than most I've tried here in Portland.

Placed an order online today and got conformation they got the order. I went to pick the order up and they were closed!!! There order system says I picked it up but not possible the door was lock and lights out no one was inside. Be careful when you order online call make sure they are actually there. I hope they refund my money.

Love their Banh Mi to the moon, very flavorful and fresh. Price is reasonable for a big portion.
Amazing sandwiches - really live up to their Killer name! Been twice with my 20-something son, and we've both tried dif sandwiches each time. All have been 5 star... meats are tender and plentiful, loaded with crisp veggies, and the flavor really stays with you for a while in a most satisfying way. Tried some of the fried sides the first time, and they were only ok. But the sandwiches are so good, I can't help but rate 5 stars. Look forward to trying more, including noodle/rice plates and Asian tacos, maybe even the vegetarian sandwiches. Service is friendly, with an owner/cook that really hustles. A gem well worth navigating the crazy intersection that is 82nd & Powell.

I finally got to try this place the other day and it's sooo good. I got the lemongrass chicken Banh Mi and the chicken was perfectly grilled and juicy. The bread was also perfect and well made. The customer service was great too. They threw in an egg roll and that was absolutely delish. I will def being going back!

Make room in your brain for a new kind of banh mi, and make room in your tummy for a large amount of astoundingly delicious food. Each sandwich at Killer Banh Mi (opened in September) is huge. My family ordered five different sandwiches to share, and all were awesome, but I have to say the char-grilled pork (ah, the lemongrass!) and the honey sriracha shrimp got the top ratings. Be aware, though: most banh mi are a vegetable-heavy experience, while these banh mi also deliver wonderful vegetables, but the meat is the star. This is the kind of meal that is constantly interrupted by loud noises of approval and expletives attesting to the surprising and wonderful flavors each banh mi delivers. All four adults at the table were completely abducted by the experience. It's exactly the kind of food that makes Portland so awesome and urges us former Portlanders to come back over the mountain from Maupin more often. Who needs the restaurants of San Francisco and New York when we have Portland to explore, right? Killer Banh Mi is now a mandatory stop for every visit we make. Oh, and the family that runs it are so delightfully nice. I just hope they're incredibly successful.
