Squeezed in a congested shared parking lot with other businesses, Yummy Expressed is easily spotted by the bold blue awning. Inside, it has a potent fermented smell but if you can get over that, you'll notice to the right of the entrance, a Vietnamese sandwich station, and two tables in front of the cashier are boxed or wrapped prepared food and to the left, multiple fried items and a soda machine. Eggrolls- I think they were $1 for 2. I really couldn't understand the young lady when I asked what the price was. They were really fresh, crunchy and the filling was pretty good. Summer Rolls- I hate when a place use cheap and flimsy wraps because once I touched these, they opened up and the fillings were everywhere. The shrimp was not fresh at all and I'm not a fan of those fish sauces that didn't added any other ingredients like lime juice into it break up that intense taste. Vermicelli w/ Shrimp & Vietnamese Ham- There were lots of noodles stuffed in there but the ratio of shrimp and ham was not good. Three bites in and you're left with a container with just noodles. Overall Service: Expect strange stares and awkward silence unless they are talking loudly to one another. After my purchase, I notice they had smoothies and asked if they were made with real fruits and the young lady said nodded, and then I looked over and saw containers of powders. Needless to say, I walked right out.

Yummy Express is a small take out Asian deli/mini market in Lowell. Its right in the heart of Cambodia town and on the entryway to the neighborhood. For someone who has no access to Cambodian food this is a jem. Where can I find these unique foods and flavors in my state of Maine? Not easily and likely not at all. So we tried some of the premade take out items : a bun with ground pork filling, a small pint of fermented rice porridge, spring rolls with shrimp, beef and pork. Super good maybe a little pricey but with inflation today it is what it is. They had a sandwich bar where they would prepared for you but we didn't get a chance to try them.

Surprisingly this place has become my go to spot for banh mi. I used to go to hong cuc all the time for my banh mi but ever since they moved to their new spot their sandwiches hasn't been the same. Yummy express offers a lot of varieties of asian food from sandwiches, to soups, to vermicelli noodles plate, spring rolls, bubble tea, and desserts. I only gave them a 4 stars because their soups isn't the best but good enough for some quick food if you're lazy to cook. I never had a problem with their services always quick and I'm out the door just a little small for a lot people to go in at once just have to be a quick in and out.

Not quite sure why Yelp has this listed as closed when in fact I was in this very shop earlier today. I've also been back to this shop for their tasty sandwiches numerous times over the past months. With many other Vietnamese Sandwich shops within the area, I can honestly say that this one is my 2nd favorite place to stop in. Located in a parking lot in one of Lowell's busiest districts, Yummy Express makes some pretty darn good business and also dishes out some of the best sandwiches around. The sandwiches here, although they are of Vietnamese origin, are made with a unique Cambodian flavor, not quite sure what it is exactly but by tasting it you can easily tell the difference. Big fan of the subs they got going on here, fine cuts of meat and fresh ingredients are put on every sub. Their cold cut combo comes packed with different kinds of meats and fresh crunchy fermented carrots that compliment each other. They also put this special sauce blend on each cold cut sub which also gives it that extra kick, again not quite sure what its made of exactly but it tastes pretty darn good. Their BBQ sandwich here is also a killer, marinated BBQ beef on a freshly toasted french baguette with fresh veggies on top, add that with a side of bubble tea and BAM! Instant tasty, inexpensive lunch. Prices here are fairly cheap with subs ranging from $2 - $3 each. They also serve numerous flavors of bubble tea and other local dishes, ready to be served for takeout such as spring rolls with dipping sauce, Hot pot, Ethnic stews and sweet desserts and treats from Southeast Asia. Servers here speak mostly Cambodian but can easily scrap together some English to get your order right. Good eats, cultural and inexpensive, grab a bubble tea on the side and you're good to go.

So to be honest I really only like there egg rolls. The pricing keeps raising which upsets me because the portion is small.

What happened to Jersey Mike's? I was so excited to see the Drum Hill location being built. I've…read morebeen to locations across the east, but hadn't been in a year. The location is new and modern. The service is very good. When I walked in and looked at the refrigerator that had the meats for the sandwiches it struck me that it didn't seem like the same quality meats that I had seen before. I don't know if this was a recent change, but I'm sure it's consistent across locations. We ordered three regular sandwiches, including an Italian, a steak & cheese and a super sub. We made two meals and one an individual sub. The total cost was just under $45. I was genuinely surprised by how much it cost. What equally surprised me was the amount and quality of the meats. It seems sparser than what I remember and not the same quality. The roll, dare I say it, was very subway like. It didn't seem completely done. I was disappointed. There are other alternatives that are greater value and quality.

From the owner: Jersey Mike's, a fast-casual sub sandwich franchise with more than 2,500 locations open and under…read moredevelopment nationwide, has a long history of community involvement and support. Started at the Jersey Shore in 1956, Jersey Mike's serves authentic East Coast-style subs on fresh baked bread - the same recipe it started with over 60 years ago. The company's mission is to bring its customers the highest quality, freshest made sub in the industry and give back to the communities in which it operates.
