Visiting Lowell from out of town. Saturday lunchtime.

Can anyone recommend a good place for Cambodian lunch? I hear it's good there.

Also would consider bánh mì if there is good one, but has to be really freeking good.

Red Rose Restaurant just won a James Beard Award. Haven't actually been yet - we were going to go with friends this month, but they had a family emergency pop up.

Second vote for Red Rose. Really tasty. Simply Khmer is good too. For bahn mi I would try Saigon sandwich house

I'm a huge fan of Peephuptmei as well. Some people don't like that the family and kids hang out there but the place is very big and honestly I like that vibe.

They have a dish called Ah-Mok which is soooo delicious. There are greens underneath so you don't actually have to order a lot of veggies on the side if you're debating getting another dish to go with it. Unless you want more than just greens. BTW you can actually park in the mini parking lot across from the liquor store across the street. Pretty sure at least. We never get towed and I think that parking lot was meant to be for all of three or four businesses that are in that little intersection. But there's also parking along the side that people don't realize, but it's tricky to back out of.
