#LetsRoll: FashionCrazedFoodie Visits Express Rolls


                                

#FARE 

I love healthy food, but to be honest, it's not always easy to find fresh fare on the go. For the most part, I prefer to consume light meals throughout the day. Salads, sushi, fruits, and fish are my top choices for daytime eating, but due to my hectic schedule, I rarely have time to pack a lunch. The latter means I'm on a constant search for eateries that cater to my appetite. Thankfully, my forage led me to Express Rolls.

Upon entering, I was immediately impressed by the warm reception I received from the staff, as well as the overall cleanliness and openness of the restaurant.
Express Rolls' menu features a moderate array of natural, fresh and organic pre-prepared foods, with several vegetarian options. The menu is divided into specified categories:
  • Sushi
  • Summer Roll Boxes
  • Bento Boxes & Bowls
  • Kid's Yum Boxes
  • Vegetarian
  • Starters, Soups & Salads
  • Party Trays
  • Drinks

On my first visit,  I was lucky enough to arrive during happy hour, which meant every item on the menu is buy one get one free (Mon-Thurs, 7:30p.m.-9:00 p.m.) I opted for a little bit of everything on the menu.

The High Roller Box (I added 2 pieces of a Shaggy Dog roll. Sold separately).

I ordered The Sliver of Everything Box, 1 High Roller Box, Trademark Summer Rolls, 2 Shaggy Dog Roll pieces, and a Shrimp Vermicelli Bowl. My absolute favorite was the Sliver of Everything Box. The portions were large enough for my children and myself to share, and I even had enough to pack a light, healthy lunch for my daughter's camp the next day.  My family enjoyed every single dish, and we've visited Express Rolls several times since our initial visit.

  1. I think I should win because as a newly single mother with a full time job in education it's hard for me to prepare meals for my little ones everyday. I hate giving them fast food and a gift card is economically savvy for my tight budget.

    1. I totally understand the struggle of having to prepare meals everyday, especially in the heat of the summer. I agree with you on not wanting to give your children fast food as well.
