Noodles & Company

What a disappointment. I ordered the mac and cheese, thinking I would get a good restaurant quality meal full of nice warm gooey cheese baked into the noodles. It took a long time to come out of the kitchen and what they served was boiled macaroni with a little milk poured on top and sprinkled with shredded cheese. I was seriously bummed with my dinner and will not be going back.

I will keep this review short and to the point.
The food is «better» than I expected [note that it is not in anyway authentic, and highly Americanized; so know that going in](4/5)
It is reasonably priced (⁴⁄₅)
The service is painfully slow at this location (²⁄₅)
The staff isn’t very pleasant (²⁄₅)

Ok I have not eaten her in awhile but it was horrible! I got the Pad Thai for my daughter and I, my mom got the Japanese pan noodles. The Pad Thai Noodles were so tuff not cooked and barley any veggies. My mon had two tiny pieces of broccoli in her dish really? Been eating Asian food for 25 yrs and cook it at home but I understand this is not authentic, just amazes me they can’t even cook rice noodles. Also these guys that were cooking had long hair waving all over the place around food??? Training is needed. Never eating here again. Should just went to Whole Foods.

When you are craving a hearty pasta dish and you want to be in and out of somewhere quick, Noodles and Co. in Greenhills is where you should consider. After enjoying a wonderful manicure next door at Venetian Nail Spa we stopped in for a quick bite before heading over to the mall. I’ve been on a diet and reallllllly enjoyed that they had the calories listed on the menu, tofu option for vegetarians, and the option for ‘buff bowl’ (noodles are swapped for spinach and they double up on the veggies). It was not hard for me to decide quickly and know confidently I was getting something healthy.
The staff: very friendly but a little too quick about things, seemed rushed when we got our food and clean up. You could also tell when they are busy bc the floors were a mess, but hey that means good business. Maybe work on the floor cleaning ;)
If you haven’t been to Noodle and Co… go!

Well this was my first time dining here and I was really excited. I really wanted to like this place and I have been dying to try it out. I love trying new places but my hubby not so much, but today I had my daughter with me. We both had some appointments at the hospital St Thomas Midtown and I had to fast for 8 hrs prior so I was starving to death… and our favorite foods include NOODLES…
We got to the restaurant at 12:30 expecting a huge lunch crowd for a Monday and the area but it was not bad at all. There was two people a head of me in line and a few diners in the dining area.
I ordered the Featured Dish «Thai Hot Pot» and Noël wanted the Penne dish. We asked for an order of 6 cheesy bread but she said «sold out and no more until tomorrow». So I asked for 6 of the Pot Stickers and she said Sorry Sold out… what??? its only 12:30…they don’t close for hours and they are sold out for the entire day???
We ordered the food and 2 drinks and I paid $ 21 …that was high and I didn’t even get what I really wanted to try. I was very disappointed. We got our food about 10 minutes later. It wasn’t bad but my Thai Hot Pot was not spicy. I had to add some hot sauce to spice it up and there was hardly any NOOODLES in my dish… and this is a noodle company… My daughters Penne dish we had ordered Chicken Parmesan added to it. it arrived just sitting on the noodles with some sauce dumped on top… she had to mix it up and there was not enough sauce. very dry…
I don’t think I will eat here again. I didn’t like the food enough to waste $ 21 and I was very disappointed that they were sold out of stuff so early in the day on a Monday… sorry Noodle company. you need to put more NOODLES in your dishes… The value of our meal and the lackluster of the meal did not equal up for my satisfaction… with today’s financial situations if you can finally go out for a meal… you want to be pleasantly surprised… not disappointed !!!

So bland. Totally Americanized and far from authentic — go to Love Peace Phở for some real noodle soup :)

My go to place for my son. His typical Friday afternoon lunch of mac and cheese. The staff is more than accommodating, and they alway entertain my son through his toddler gibberish.

This restaurant continues to fray at edges. Tables and floor and bathrooms are gross. We went for two years consistently. I think the management is inexperienced. Time to close the store!

I like Noodles & Co and I won’t rule out returning to this location. Customer service here has been pretty good despite the staff suffering what seems like steady churn and low morale. Some dishes come out inconsistent but had not yet amounted to a review. My opinion, formed over several visits and cemented by today’s, is that this location is dirty. Maybe due to lax oversight or training, but this place has a built up layer of grime on tables and floors. Green Hills presents a challenging mix of students and crowds but the drink station, dining room, and the bathroom were in bad shape even before the lunch rush. Other visits over the years have been similar.

It’s been years since I’ve been to a Noodles & Co. We were leaving the mall & saw it & decided to stop in for lunch.
We ordered the Indonesian peanut sauté & the pad Thai, both regular sizes & with chicken. We also ordered some pot stickers. The cashier was more focused on what was going on with the other employee & she kept having to ask «what» to us. Once we finally got our order in, we sat down at a booth. The booths are lined with a burlap type material that doesn’t allow for you to slide into the booth & the pad of the booth is really close to the low table. It’s an odd seating combination.
A positive about Noodles is they have a coke freestyle machine. I might not be a coke can, but I love the different options available. It only took a few minutes for us to get our food. Both pasta dishes were hot (temperature wise) but the pot stickers we cold. Also, I’ve never seen pot stickers that are smashed so flat, almost like little quesadillas. The stuffing inside wasn’t good. I was really disappointment with them.
The Indonesian peanut sauté was good. It has two heat icons on the menu but I didn’t find it spicy at all. I would’ve liked a little more heat. The 2.99 for chicken will get you about 2 – 3 ounces of chicken that looks like it was sloppy chopped up on the grill. It looks like chicken scraps in a way. I’d like it to be more uniformed but it had a nice, grilled flavor to it. The pad Thai had a similar taste to the Indonesian peanut sauté, maybe even a little more heat to it.
Overall I enjoyed the noodle dishes. They weren’t amazing but any means but next time I’ll just order the small without chicken and get a glass of water. The add on items really bring up the price and don’t even bother with the pot stickers.

Great take-​out food seems to be a hard-​to-​come-​by commodity. I used to live in Berkeley, CA, and I definitely took my access to lots of great cheap pick-​up food for granted.
Actually, though, Noodles & Company is pretty tasty. I ordered the Penne Rosa, and while there was absolutely nothing special about the pasta itself (it had that sort of gritty texture I expect when I buy bottom-​barrel generic brand penne at store), the sauce was a nice mix of sweet/​spicy/​tangy, and they were liberal with their application of feta cheese (yum). The chicken’s primary purpose was to add texture, but otherwise it didn’t have a whole lot of flavor and it was a bit cold when I got it, although this is a risk one takes when doing take-​out.
The side salad, with regards to both ingredient freshness and flavor, was pretty uninspired; I probably wouldn’t go that route. I am on the fence between three and four stars here, and when this happens I almost always round down: no reason to break the convention here.

Great quality for a chain. Don’t expect authentic Asian but astronomically better then fast food or a frozen dinner.

it aint bad. I came one day with my family to eat some noodles. The service is pretty quick, and they bring it out to you.
There are two sizes, Small and regular. don’t be fooled by the small if you do end up ordering it, because if you order a side with it, it is more than enough!
JAPANESE PAN NOODLES — this isnt bad! i had it with chicken. its a good like fake japanese version of stir fried udon. It comes with plenty of vegetable things. i love the bean sprouts on it.
SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS — My cousin got this. It wasn’t bad for a regular bowl of spaghetti. I am a personal fan of fazoli’s baked spaghetti because it’s cheesier, but He seemed to enjoy it.
PESTO CAVATAPPI — My cousin got this. It’s not bad for just a regular bowl of pasta.
PENNE ROSA — Not bad either.
SIDE SALAD — not bad! i liked the portions, and i like that they will put your dressing on the side for those of us that dont like TOO much dressing.
SIDE CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP — so tiny.
Haha, as you can see, this is a pretty mediocre place. but its close to green hills, and gives you a little bit of a different option. Noodles aren’t bad, and i like that it gives you different «ethnic» type noodles, for us that don’t care so much about authenticity, haha. Service is pretty quick though! and the employees are all very friendly.

I love noodles and co as a chain but this particular location is not great. Every time I’ve been in it’s smelled so strongly of cleaning supplies that I got a headache. My potstickers were completely flat like pancakes, which was strange, and my Thai curry soup had mainly noodles and broth and almost nothing else. I know what this chain can be when it’s good so I’m sad this is the only one around here.

I love Noodles and Company. Not sure why the only locations of Noodles & Company in Texas are in Austin, Killeen and Lubbock. We definitely need a Noodles & Company in Dallas. I always order the Japanese Pan noodles with marinated steak which are udon noodles, bean sprouts, cilantro, and sesame seeds. Really good! I always top it off with sriracha and I also order a side of the flatbread. It is always served hot, fresh with a side of butter. Price is good and I like how there is an option to add extra meat.

Oh my goodness, everything is so good. I’ve made it my goal to try everything on the menu atleast once.
Let’s talk price, plenty for the money,. I usually end up taking some home. You can’t beat the price.
I LOVE their lettuce wraps. Some of the best I’ve ever had. And, I’m a huge fan of their Blackberry Jasmine and Sweet Orange tea… mixed.
The staff are all so friendly and helpful. I love going to Noodles!

I’ll give this place one star for my food coming out really warm.
Other than that, no. Just no. The Shrimp Pad Thai was absolutely flavorless. The noodles tasted like that were mixed in with a water sauce. And the shrimp tasted like, guess what, water. Thank goodness for sriracha. I was able to pour some on and eat a few bites of noodles because I was starving.
I like the idea of a fast and casual noodle house but Noodles & Co is somewhere I will never step foot into again.

As a self-​proclaimed carboholic, Noodles is where it’s at! There’s something here for anyone looking for some simple carbs. I can honestly say that I have only ever tried one dish here, which was the special the first time I dined in their establishment. It’s not listed on the menu, but every time I’ve asked for it, no one has looked at me like I’m crazy.
It’s the Bacon Cheeseburger Mac.
It has bacon, cheese, tomatoes, cut meatballs and noodles. It’s everything I want in a bowl, with the exception of salt. I always have to add salt and pepper to spice it up a bit, otherwise it can be a bit on the bland side.

2 meals + 2 full glasses of wine for 24 bucks? Yes please!
What’s not to love about Noodles? You have a variety of choices and can customize your order to be American, Asian, or Mediterranean and at a great price. The menu is quite large and I love that they show you the calorie count! Though sadly, this means no mac and cheese for me!
I ordered the med duo sandwich with chicken, mushrooms, red peppers, and feta. It was so good, and very low on the calories. I added a side ceasar and it was great also. My friend ordered the small whole grain Tuscan linguine, and while it was tasty, she was eying my meal over her own :) The smaller portion was plenty for one meal.
But on top of good food, they also offer wine and beer! Sweet! I loved having a glass of malbec to accompany my meal.
Great place in Green Hills! I’m excited to explore the other countries on the menu!

I wanted to like Noodles and Company, truly I did. Most of my wife’s favorite foods involve noodles in some way or another, so she was very excited about coming.
I came in without preconceived notions, avoiding even reading Unilocal before my visit. Visiting on a Sunday around 2:00 pm, my wife and I were both thoroughly underwhelmed by our experience.
First, the service had issues. I was ignored by the counter person for a couple of minutes, although he may have assumed we were still making selections. I picked a table for my wife and I and then went to fill my drink at the fountain. While I was filling my drink, my feet were attacked by a carpet-​sweeper wielding employee. I moved out of her way and she quickly jumped in front of me, between me and the table, and proceeded to take a very long time to figure out that a carpet sweeper doesn’t work very well on a tile floor. I waited patiently for her to finish, which she finally did, after three minutes of me standing waiting for her to let me return to my table. She did not acknowledge my presence at any point during this exchange, even after she ran over my toes. I guess it was my bad for wearing flip-​flops.
The food was nearly as disappointing as the service. My wife’s Mac and Cheese was, as Jason S. noted, no better than Kraft, and my Indonesian peanut sauté with chicken was an exercise in bland laziness. As an example, the cilantro on top was an entire sprig, I had to pick the leaves off myself. We both had to thoroughly mix our dishes when they arrived at the table, the sauce was quite unevenly applied. The chicken and meatballs were both obviously cooked from frozen. The chicken had that hard, cracked leather outside and dry, chalk-​like inside that comes from being unevenly cooked. Even our side Caesar salads were a disappointment. The cheese was some processed blend, not real Parmesan or whatever they claimed it to be. The romaine lettuce was mainly the tough, outer leaves and they were even wilted. It didn’t help the salad was served on a plate still hot from the dishwasher.
In short, I won’t be back, and if you value your money and appreciate a good noodle dish, you won’t bother going.
