Noodles & Company

I didn’t consider myself a big pasta fan until I tried noodles and company. The Japanese Pan Noodles with steak is my favorite dish and I order it every time. I could eat it multiple times a week. If you like spicy food it’s really good with sriracha sauce. I also recommend the Alfredo Mont Amore with Parmesan crusted chicken if you’re craving an Italian dish. Side Cesar salads are always crispy and fresh. Love this place.

I love this concept! Who doesn’t love noodles? I was under the false impression that it was all Asian inspired… WRONG. American comfort, Tuscan, Japanese, Korean, and build your own. Salads too.
The Pad Thai was spicy, but the helpful staff let me know the recipe was changed recently. Tasty, but spicier than usual.
A little pricey, but like Chipotle or Qdobo for pasta… mmmmmm.

I love Noodles and Company so for the most part you can’t go wrong. Yes it’s chain food, but it’s fresh and tasty for chain food in my opinion. The review is mainly for the service. Management and staff were extremely happy and enjoying themselves when I picked up my order. Top 5 of my best experiences when it comes to staff. Kudos!

Great variety and quality with food delivered quickly. Staff at this location is always very friendly and the food is always consistent. Only negative experience I have ever had is unknowingly ordering tofu on my entrée. From large bowls of noodles to more healthy choices a good range of selections to fit any diet.

The best restaurant in town! Staff is always so friendly! But last 3 times I ate there my stomach has been very upset after

Delicious food! I got pesto Cavatappi with shrimp and it was the best. You can add shrimp, steak, or even tofu ect. to your pasta. The Cesar salad was pretty good also.
The restaurant was clean and the food came out fast. Everything tastes good, but it was not that memorable for me.

The best potstickers I’ve ever had! Seriously, no sauces needed. Kids devoured the Mac n cheese and spaghetti & meatballs. We had the Pad Thai and Penne Rosa, delish! Could’ve eaten more. The large/​regular is a good filling portion however my 8 year old wanted more; the small wasn’t filling.

Love some Noodles. Friendly staff at this location and quick service. I have been here for lunch several times. Very highly recommended. I only wish my company would allow them to cater to our building.

Flavors are bland and undeveloped. Boring and not exciting food. The McDonald’s of pasta dishes.

Noodles and Co is simply delicious. Fresh ingredients, quick service and friendly staff who all wear smiles. I love coming here because the endless menu allows you to mix it up. This will forever remain one of my favorite spots to eat lunch. Highly recommended!

The food is good but this location does not seem to be on top of it.
Let me explain:
The cashier didn’t ask if we wanted to add meat to our meals and so we forgot.
There were many empty tables that were dirty and had to wait for a table to be cleaned.
When our food came out we noticed that the Asparagus Di Parma DIDN’T have asparagus. I had to go up to the cashier and let them know the main ingredient was missing. They did bring out the asparagus.
Other observations from recent visits:
The store seems well staffed but not well managed.
One time ½ our order was missing.
We ordered food to go and waited a very long time, all the while the manager seemed very stressed out, that the kitchen staff wasn’t doing their job very well
We will continue to visit Noodles, but hopefully this location gets their act together.

I honestly had really high expectation goin here because all my friends seems to love it. I was very disappointed, our Thai spicy noodle soup was very water down, I’m just used to a lot of marination to my food so this wasn’t the place for me.

It’s noodles, primarily, so you’d think they can’t get it wrong. And it fits the typical fast casual chain style food quality.
I agree with some reviews that the pad Thai is a bit bland. But I love the Indonesian Peanut Sauté for its spicy flavor. And the Pasta Fresca is a tasty, light dish with fresh basil and tomatoes.
If you’ve got a bunch of kids to feed — like I do — order the family sized portion Wisconsin Mac and Cheese. It feeds 4 – 5 kids and will set you back about $ 18.
The good news is they always get my takeout order correct. (I probably just jinxed myself.)

My boyfriend brought this home for me. This is pretty much the worst pad thai I’ve ever tasted.

My sister, who is a birthday coupon fiend, recommended signing up for their mailing list, and when my birthday rolled around last month, they sent me a coupon for a free bowl of noodles up to $ 9! So after a shopping trip to Costco, I stopped in to see what they had to offer.
It’s a nice enough little restaurant with a Chipotle-​esque vibe. The cashier was friendly and took my coupon without any hassle. I ended up ordering the truffle mac ‘n’ cheese to go. The pasta came with sliced mushrooms and lots of cheesy breadcrumb topping, and if you are counting calories at all you won’t want to look at the nutrition information on the website for this dish. I ended up spreading it out over a couple of meals and pairing it with a homemade salad. The price would have been around $ 7.50, and there were options to add meat for a couple of dollars more.
I’m not one to crave pasta very often — if I want noodles, most likely it’s going to be phở or ramen, or the occasional pasta bowl from Piada. It’s not a bad place to grab lunch with a friend, but it’s not somewhere you’ll find me (except maybe once a year around my birthday…).

With a concept similar to Pei Wei or Piada, Noodles’ theme is… well…noodles. …in various forms. With various flavors. It really has something for anyone. In the mood for something Asian inspired? They have you covered with their version of Pad Thai, Yaki soba, or even an Indonesian dish. Seeking comfort food? Their stroganoff, mac and cheese, and chicken noodle soup looks quite appetizing. And prices aren’t bad either.
Like other places of the sort, the first (few?) visit (s) can be a bit intimidating. Luckily, the staff was very friendly and, despite the big crowd, happy to explain things to me. Essentially, pick a flavor set (or just a type of noodle) from the board at the entrance/​over the counter. If you want, add meat for $ 2+ more. If you get a meal, you can also get a bowl of soup for just a $ 1 extra. …and if you order right, you end up with a nice meal with surprisingly good quality that can be pretty darn cheap. This visit, I tried a «small» bangkok curry with no meat and thai soup. …just under $ 6 for the lot, and I got plenty of tasty, fresh food. …and fast. I had barely found a seat when the staff brought out my order and took the number placard off my table.
As to the food itself, the bangkok curry is not spicy, but it has a decent Thai-​inspired flavor with lots of great vegetables including carrots, cabbage, mushrooms, onions, and broccoli. The noodles themselves are rice noodles, with a nice, chewy texture.
The Thai curry soup was a little salty and a touch on the bland side. It too, though, was full of noodles and had some fresh veggies mixed in along with a sprig of cilantro. I don’t know I’d order it again, but for a $ 1 extra, it was a nice pairing with the curry noodles.
Being a first time visitor (and obviously so, I am afraid), I also received a free dessert. …but you know, I actually might order one again in the future. There were three options to pick from — snickerdoodle, chocolate chunk, and rice krispy treat. I chose the snickerdoodle… and wow. That was a tasty cookie. Ridiculously soft, lightly flavored with sweetness and just a touch of salt… that was one of the best cookies I’ve had in a while. …I don’t even usually like cookies. …so yeah. Give the cookie a try.
The place itself was ridiculously crowded when I dropped in, being a Sunday at lunch time. I would suggest coming at a slightly less insane time just for the sake of moving about the restaurant. Still, there is a surprising amount of space, with the crowds only forming an issue at the high-​tech drink dispenser (touch screen, ipad shiny… it feels like the Future). The noise wasn’t too bad either so long as no one was right behind me.
Anyway, definitely a place I’ll be keeping in mind when braving the insanity that is Polaris. There’s a lot to choose from, and it’s tasty for the relatively low price.

Eh, it’s okay. I mean, I get the gimmick, it’s different, it’s not burgers and fries, it’s just a lot of pasta with random crap thrown on top. The Chipotle of the pasta world (like Piada is the Chipotle of Italian Street Carts or some such).
I always feel like a big kid eating here. The food isn’t especially awesome/​tasty — but it’s different enough from standard fare, and they do add their own «touch» to the dishes, but some items — like the parmesan crusted chicken — I found rather lacking in flavor and substance.
I will return, but so far, it’s just «one more option for lunch»

Let me get a pet peeve out of the way: I hate it when restaurants use the «cafeteria meets upscale industrial» design. Not only is it uninspired, the noise levels are unacceptable.
Ok, that out of the way on with the review.
Obviously pasta is their main draw. As previously mentioned, they feature Mediterranean, Asian, and American-​styles. (pet peeve #2: «rosa» sauce is not Italian. It is an American abomination).
Portions are quite large, and priced reasonably (mostly under $ 6). This is for pasta dishes without the addition of meat or tofu. That will set one back another couple of dollars. Have to give them credit, the portions are not mostly pasta with a few veggies. Oh and Sriracha on the table is always appreciated!
The subs are quite good as well (most under $ 5). Smallish but good. I really enjoyed the Wisconsin Cheesesteak, but I am not a fan of cubed meat in a sub. The cheese part was quite good. Wish it had more of the advertised veggies though.
Drinks are way over-​priced. Not talking beer here (though they have it), but soft drinks. What is up with the trend to gouge customers here to make menu prices look lower? Oh, I guess I just answered that one.

For a fast food place, Noodles & Company hits the mark!
They provide something different and unique for people on the go, they make it to order, and they don’t sacrifice quality in the process.
Sooo refreshing. «Make it a Trio!»
My dining companions and I devoured their Japanese Pan Noodles, Chicken Noodle Soup, Wisconsin Mac & Cheese, and Cucumber Tomato Salad on our way to a Crew game last weekend.
Now, if they would just expand their franchise north, every day would be like Christmas for me.

It’s been 2 years since I’ve been to a Noodles & Company! This particular branch might be the best one I’ve visited. The inside included many tables and booths with just the right lighting to give it a «classy» ambiance.
The cashier was more than patient enough with me. I had a coupon for a free entrée. I asked what I can purchase using the coupon. He even suggested I add some meat, seafood, or tofu. At the end, I ordered a regular sized Pesto Cavatappi with shrimp. The wait for my food was less than 10 minutes and it was cooked just right. There was just the right amount of pesto sauce, mushrooms, and shrimp.
As I was eating my meal, I watched the staff because I just like people watching. All the staff members I saw were working hard making sure things were in place.
I would definitely come back to this particular branch if I’m in the area again for its great service and food.
Some cool things about Noodles and Co are that they don’t accept tips and free drink refills,
