Noodles & Company

I’ve eaten at this location a dozen times and have always had a wonderful experience! I’ve only ordered the chicken pad Thai or the chicken noodle soup and they both come out exactly the same every time! I always order a regular size and I walk out of there very full, sometimes not finishing my meal and having to take the rest to go.
I enjoy the quick service, clean restaurant, and consistency of the food quality. It’s a great tasting place for a quick bite to eat!

First time here. I was hungry, saw it when I was at Starbucks across the street, Unilocaled it and was sold. Had the Indonesian bowl with chicken. Excellent value for the money. It took a few minutes to prepare, which is a good sign. Looking forward to going back.

I’ve been here a number of times now and I have a hard time understanding exactly what it is.
Is it an Asian noodle place? Kinda.
Is it Italian pasta? A little.
Does the menu also have various other somewhat random things as well? Yes.
But being unfocused isn’t the end of the world. I guess the one semi-​consistent item is noodles. Even the salad I ordered once had some noodles in it. Whatever.
I think I’ve settled on the Penne Rosa with grilled chicken.
But honestly it seems a little bit different each time I get it. I understand that unlike fast-​food places it seems that the stuff is made at least somewhat to order, so there could be some inconsistencies. Sometimes I get lots of tomatoes, sometimes almost none. Mushrooms? Maybe, maybe not. Last time I had it it was actually a little spicy. A nice touch but not the way it’s normally served.
It’s probably considered a «fast-​casual» place rather than true fast food. Inside it’s pretty nice and they do serve a limited variety of beer and wine.
It’s a little pricey for lunch. I think the penne rosa costs about $ 10 not including a drink or anything else.
Overall I can’t figure the place out but I keep coming back so it must be decent.

I’ve been a fan of Noodles & Company since before Noodles & Company arrived in Connecticut. In Minnesota, where I grew up, Noodles & Company is held in high regard with such eateries as Chipotle and Panera as the «cool» fast-​casual restaurants to meet your friends at without needing to spend a pretty penny. Also, I’m not going to lie, I love Noodles & Company for its truly free birthday noodles dish for email subscribers. No other restaurant offers as generous of an offer.
Alas, Noodles & Company does not hold as great of a place in my heart as it once did, due to its steady price inflation and portion size deflation over the years. Also, at this most recent visit, I ordered the Thai Hot Pot, a dish I was very much so looking forward to eating. Not only was the portion size smaller than similarly priced dishes, but it also arrived warm… meaning it reached lukewarm very quickly. That should NEVER happen for any kind of hot pot dish — Asian fusion or not.

Been here a few times, food is consistently good for a light meal. Salads and noodles (of course) are fresh and tasty. Staff is friendly and prompt, and also love the «mix your own Coke» machine.

For what it is it has a bit of an incline for price but you just can’t beat the portions or quality. I would highly recommend anyone who has a special place in their heart for wheat products spanning the globe to check this place out. Also many more things than just the noodles.

I am obsessed with their Wisconsin Mac & Cheese. it’s so good and very filling. anytime I’m craving mac & cheese this is where I come. the staff is always so helpful and polite. the food comes out quickly and is always so so good. great addition to Glastonbury.

Terrible food not good for you. never will be back. and high priced. Wish I walked out at the register.

The staff is great, service is fast, the restaurant is very clean. The butter noodles with parmigiana chicken is excellent

A nice change of pace for a fast food chain restaurant. I tried a few dishes, mostly noodle based, and all were very good. I like that they post the calories too!

Great quick place to grab a bite. The spicy items have a decent kick. My daughter had the butter noodles with chicken and it was simple but good. We got a side order of potstickers they are on the skinny side but tasteful. The dipping sauce has red pepper flakes so prepare for some heat. My other daughter tried the Japanese pan noodles with pork. The pork was fantastic and she asked them to make it spicy and it had some serious kick. I had a chicken Caesar salad and it was perfect Love the diversity of the menu. Portion sizes were great and it was served in a very timely manner

Pretty decent chain/​mixed bag food.
Noodles & Company gives you exactly what the name describes, noodles! Across multiple ethnicities! (Asian, Italian, American) The décor is really nice for this fast food/​sit down hybrid. I’d compare this place to a nicer Boston Market service wise.
Eats:
Thai noodle bowl /​Mac and Cheese /​Pad Thai
Everyone at our table cleaned their plates, and although none of us will proclaim Noodles & Co to be our go-​to spot for any of these dishes, we also won’t argue against this being a decent plate of food.
Nobody pretend chipotle is real mexican food, but its good. Same here, try it out!

I have been here twice and ordered salads each time, so this is just for their salads… SUPER YUMMY. I had the seasonal fruit salad which came with strawberries, blue cheese and I ordered it with parmesan encrusted chicken. The second time I had the Caesar salad also with the parmesan encrusted chicken. also stellar and I loved the dressing that came with both. I am very excited to try all the noodle dishes and other options they have. A cool note… they sell beer… beers that I know beer lovers would like… and treats… HUGE chocolate chip cookies and rice crispie treats… one day I will partake in the glory!

Great place! Healthy, fast and priced right. Love the noodle dishes and the buff salads. Staff is very friendly.

I have eaten at this noodles and company three times now. Overall the food is decent. The Japanese noodle bowl is good though a bit over seasoned. The beef that comes with it was decent. Cooked about as you would expect from a fast food Asian noodle place. I also got the curry rice noodle bowl which is very good. I got it with the chicken which was nicely seasoned but very skimpy on the portion.
If you order off the menu then you will probably be fine. However if you make a modification, beware! They will mess it up. I have very picky eaters for kids who have allergies. The three times we have ordered food for them, we stated very clearly what they wanted and stressed the importance of making sure it was done right. The person taking the order assured me that it would be made right. Of course it wasn’t and we didn’t realize it until we were sitting down with 3 screaming kids (one time) and another time when we were home.
The worst part is that they make you feel bad when you point out their mistake. They gave us the correct meal only after making us feel guilty and try to blame the mistake on us. This happened twice. Then when I came back in for my comp meal, the manager again made us feel bad about it and could tell he was trying to give us the cheapest meal on the menu. They come across as being cheap and unsympathetic to their customers.
I hope they learn from these reviews and make changes. I don’t think they mean to come off this way but they really did make me and my wife feel uncomfortable. I’m optimistic that they will improve and I will reconsider my rating.

Inconsistent. I will check back & update my review.
.
1) Daughter’s SPAGHETTI & MEATBALLS: pasta was cooked just right… a bit aldente… sauce and meatballs tasted great… sauce could have been more evenly incorporated into the pasta… it needed a bit of stirring.
.
.2) Wife’s PASTA ROSA: pasta was cooked nicely & just the right amount of sauce.
.
3) My INDONESIAN PEANUT NOODLES were overcooked… noodles stuck together and very little sauce. The pork was charred and ruined the taste of the entire dish.
.
Staff is friendly but somewhat clueless. I’m hoping they iron things out soon.

I have been twice. Both times I ordered Pad Thai. It was OK but seems a bit fast foodish. The area inside is awkward to navigate and they have quite a few small tables and not many that hold over 4.
My kids like it and I’m sure we will be back.

2 stars, but room to grow
yea, im sorry to have to drop it on the noodles and their close working cohort, but meh. i think its more the execution than the overall product but ill justify my (un)love.
well first, lets talk cuisine choices, what is going on here? are you an asian themed ramen house? sandwiches and mac and cheese? how about your add on proteins? i got the japanese pan noodles with an added extra of braised pork. the pork was at just plopped on top of my noodles. i liked the noodles, i asked for only carrots, only broccoli, i still had sprouts when it came out. i think next time i would be more assert (jerk)ive when i place my order. the dish itself also had some kinks to work out, i found it burned a little too much for my overall satisfaction. i totally would insist in them MIXING in the protein to get in the flavors. as someone who hates tofu, i shouldnt be starting trouble and wouldnt care if they did the same with tofu but wouldu?
mer loved her thai curry dish, especially the noodles, but she did not like their overuse of filler cabbage. i also got a 3 piece potsticker app, they were really good, and the zillion flavor coke machine is welcomed (check your flavors though, several were out of syrups)
i think if i were to go back with *gasp* children, i would ask the dishes be prepared the way we wanted them and not their visioned version.

Pleasantly surprised to stumble upon a «soft opening» today! Free lunch? Don’t mind if I do!
There were definitely some kinks they’re trying to work out, but I can’t fault them for that when they aren’t even officially open. I’m sure it will all come together in due time. As far as the food is concerned… very solid! If you haven’t been to a Noodles & Co before, imagine a higher-​end ‘fast food’ establishment that only serves pasta (and a few sandwiches). It’s kinda like the Five Guys of pasta… if that makes any sense.
Today I enjoyed the Thai noodles with a side of the tomato bisque. The soup was creamy and decadent, and the noodles were cooked perfectly, and accompanied by fresh flavorful ingredients. I really can’t ask for more out of a quick-​hitter lunch. I will mos def be back when I’m in a pasta mood.

Well finally got to try Noodles & Company tonight. Been meaning to go to the WeHa location but was given an opportunity to try out the G-​bury location free of charge… Whoop whoop!
Nice brand new complex, not alot of parking if restaurant is busy though. Very clean but this location is brand spanking new, so hopefully it stays this way. For staff being new very friendly and helpful.
They have 1 freestyle soda machine so, you might have to wait a while for your beverage. And looks like they will be carrying beer and wine also.
I decided to go with the Penne Rosa w/​Parmesan-​Crusted Chicken Breast. It was in a Spicy tomato cream sauce. And yes it did give you a little pop of heat in your mouth. I would definitely get this again.
The hubby went with the Thai Hot Pot. This only comes in one size which he said left him hungry for more. And it’s about $ 9.00 which for what you get isn’t that great of a value. The menu states that it is in a Signature Curry broth… this had more of a tasty peanutty flavor than most curry’s we’ve had. Also, they forgot the bean sprouts. And, I only saw like 3 small pieces of the red cabbage that it is supposed to contain also. He did like the side of toasted flat bread it came with. He did however wish this came in 2 sizes.
For all you people looking for Gluten-​free they offer this at $ 1.00 up charge for the small and $ 1.50 for the regular. And they have Vegetarian dishes too. So you can bring all your friends and hopefully be able to please them all. But, we do all have that one friend who is never satisfied. Joanne… Oops did I say that out loud… lol
