Noodles & Company

Went in with some friends to grab a quick dinner. We were having a tough time deciding what we wanted and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I got the mac and cheese with a side of pot stickers. Both were fab! The pot stickers were a little smaller than expected, but not a deal breaker by any means. I think this place is very reasonably priced and is quick. The inside is also very clean and well-​maintained. Will definitely be returning!

Love this place, the food is always on point. Great customer service always very friendly. Thanks for the great customer service!

Honestly wasn’t expecting what we got when walking inside. They have a variety of noodle based dishes from spaghetti to pad thai. They offer small and large bowls for every pasta dish.
You can also get salads, soups and sandwiches here if you prefer. The salads liked tasty and I’d give them a go next time.
I had the pesto pasta with parmesan crusted chicken. It was really good. Could have used more mushrooms and tomatoes but overall a good meal. I’ll get a small bowl next time, since this was too much food in the large bowl for me.
Overall: B+
I’ll return and try out the salads (the mac and cheese looked like a good bet too).

I have been here a few times now and the verdict is in, it’s pretty awesome. I have tried a good portion of the menu and on most occasions it has been very good and quite enjoyable.
LOCATION:
This is a brand new store so it’s still fresh and clean. There is ample parking outside and it’s easy to access.
SERVICE:
The people here are great. They will explain the options to you if you are a newcomer and they are quite patient while you are trying to make up your mind.
FOOD:
This is what matters right! The food is very good, some items are obviously better than others. My personal favorites are the Japanese Pan Noodles or Stroganoff. All of the protein options are wonderful, beef, chicken, tofu, you can have it anyway you like.
The only «miss» I have experienced was with the Curry dish, the veggies were underdone and there was only the slightest hint of curry/​flavor. I won’t be trying that dish again.
So if you are looking for fast, affordable and tasty eats in the Fashion Square area this is the place.
PS: Try the Mac and Cheese ;)

Went for the first time with my
Mom. The employees were extremely friendly and welcoming. The place is very modern and clean inside. As soon as we arrived the employee explained to us the process of choosing a meal, all meals start off vegetarian and then you can add in the protein if you desire along with swapping out noodles or the vega tables in the dish. I ordered the Thai curry soup and my mom got the bangkok curry noodles. The food was definitely made with fresh ingredients which I thought was great. The Thai curry soup was a bit bland for me and I wouldn’t order it again. My mom said she enjoyed her Bangkok curry noodles and said it had a very good sweet flavor to it. I may come back to try another item next time, but my first meal was not something I would get again or recommend.

Fresh and tasty, large portions, lots of choices. GF options. Delicious. Casual indoor and outside dining. Lots of parking. Quick and tasty.

This location is hit or miss. I had the Mac and cheese with meatballs and the meatballs were cold, but the Mac and cheese was good. Tried it with chicken and it came out as bare noodles with a spoonful of sauce and overcooked chicken.

Ordered for dine in and my bowl took about 25 minutes to get to me. Wasn’t really pleased with that but it is what it is. I had the Thai curry noodle bowl and it was pretty bland. The bowl itself was very fresh and freshly cooked. But the sauce should have been more flavorful, the rice noodles made the already light sauce dissipate and the bowl tasting bland. I understand this bowl is alot lighter as other bowls have more cream based sauce but still, nothing should taste bland.
Good thing is the service is fantastic and I’m positive their other menu items are awesome. I just got the wrong thing for myself this time!
They have a 100% guarantee and will replace your meal with anything else if you aren’t satisfied. The only reason why I didn’t do that was because I wasn’t in the mood or had the hunger patience to wait another possible 25 for my replacement meal. Unless you’re looking for something that’s light but very very bland, I’d order something else.
**The manager did notice my long wait time and approached me with a free meal voucher for the next time I decide to come. I asked for another for my boyfriend so he could tag along and she happily gave me another. Very nice, great gesture. Kudos for taking care of your customers!

Pretty good pasta and like that there is «world» of pasta and noodles on the menu. If you’re having a bad day you can come get some soup and buttered noodles, it’s like the perfect throwback little kid lunch.
There are several different types of Asian noodle dishes and soups, as well as some Italian and American standard noodle dishes. The noodles come in small or large size bowls. The person taking my order said that the large is really quite large. I tried the small steak stroganoff bowl with wide egg noodles and I must have been really hungry or just needed to order some side items. I think the taste was great but found the size underwhelming. Next time I would order soup or bread to accompany a small size portion. Love the «Honest» brand Lemon herbal iced tea. Not many places have decaf tea that is iced, so that was cool. This is a nice little fast casual place. The atmosphere reminds me of a Chipotle or Pei Wei. You can get a glass of wine and relax here. It’s nice but not fussy or pretentious.

First time coming here and another home run. Had their Philly Cheese Steak sandwich with a side of the Tomato Basil Soup. Deadly combo and highly recommended. Can’t wait to get back and try something else. Simple place with good food.

The food, or Noodles served up here are inspired by the individuality, creativity and cultural heritage of cuisines from around the globe. From Penne Rosa to Japanese Pan Noodles, The Med Salad, Thai Curry Soup, and a Wisconsin Mac & Cheese, only the most authentic ingredients are used to create great tasting food in a fast casual environment.
The concept is simple and straight forward. After looking over the large photo menu, you first choose your entrée and pick your size, regular or small. Next you can choose to add meat or tofu to your dish. Meats include pork, Parmesan crusted chicken, grilled chicken breast, marinated steak, sauteed shrimp and oven roasted meatballs. Finally you can choose to green it up, soup it up, or veg it up by adding extra vegetables, a soup or side salad. Within minutes your food is brought to your table and you are ready to enjoy some pretty tasty noodles.
Additionally Noodles & Co. has three side items, or appetizers to choose from. The list includes Potstickers, Margherita Flatbread and a Cheesy Garlic Bread. Our Pot stickers were pretty darn good for fast casual.
I ordered the Wisconsin Mac & Cheese in a regular size. This is a classic blend of cheddar and jack cheeses, cream and elbow macaroni. I also added the grilled chicken to my mac & cheese. This mac had a very rich and creamy sauce, and the added grilled chicken provided a perfect texture and flavor. The regular size was more than enough, and I even had some left over.
The Pesto Cavatappi is curly pasta, basil pesto, garlic, mushrooms, tomato, wine, cream, Parmesan and Italian parsley. My guest added the Parmesan crusted chicken. This dish was very flavorful and savory with just the right amount of sauce.
I was really impressed with the flavors in the Thai Hot Pot that one of my other guests ordered. This is a Noodles & Co. signature curry broth with cabbage, sprouts, peppers, shiitake mushrooms, rice noodles, pulled chicken and pork, lime wedge and cilantro, served with a side of toasted Asian flatbread. The broth had a wonderful coconut flavor with a decent amount of heat, and the flatbread was great for dipping also.

I’ve been here a few time, the service is very friendly and the food is casual.
Sometimes if you want a fast casual food and don’t want to wait for the waitress, then this is the right place.
The only downside is that they have only 1 soda machine and the line could be long.

Finally a really good & diverse noodle house! When we walked in the restaurant and I smelled the kitchen I looked at my wife and said, «I think I’m going to love this place!» I uploaded a photo of the menu, but basically you pick what dish you want and then what protein. There’s quite the variety of meats (yes, I love meat… there I said it) with flavors varying from Grilled Chicken to Parmesan Crust Chicken to shrimp to steak; ok you get the idea. Plus, it’s not really limited to Asian cuisine; they have american, greek, asian, but all noodle based.
I got the Indonesian Spicy Peanut Noodle withe chicken. It was FANTASTIC. My wife got the pad thai with no egg so that I could get a taste; it was good but not nearly as good as mine. The Spicy Peanut sauce has a good kick to it. If you’re not into hot food, then it’s probably a poor choice/​. At any rate, it was much like Pei Wei: counter, order, get number, fill drink, sit, put number up and then they bring you food. The service was good and there was someone cleaning the seating area the entire time we were there.
I really enjoyed this place. It was super clean reasonably priced, good service and great food. Yum Yum.

After eating here twice I have come to the realization that, I LOVE THIS PLACE!
the staff is so friendly and helpful! Making the ordering As simple as possible! I have had the pad Thai which was a fun twist on it. But ultimately was won over by the pesto chicken !

I am a 3.5 here — I jumped it up to 4 because the staff were nice and our order did not take long.
The food is fine. It’s not AMAZING and yea, it is similar to what I could make at home, but I’d eat here because I don’t feel like cooking so I think it’s ok if it tastes like my food!
Last time I ate here (in Dr. Phillips), I had the Whole Wheat Tuscan pasta. I enjoyed it. Again, it wasn’t FABULOUS, but it was good.
When we ate at this location, we ordered the Pad Thai with tofu, Bangkok Pan Noodles with chicken, and a small Mac and Cheese (because we love Mac and Cheese and wanted to try it). It was all tasty and satisfying.
I’d definitely come back if I needed a quick meal. The price is right for what you get and some of the entrees are a bit healthier so it can be a decent option.

I was wondering about this place that just opened up on Colonial, but I wanted to wait a while until the crowds died down to check it out. Noodles & Company is a chain, but they’re new to me, so I guess I’ll review it.
Noodles & Company is a fast-​casual dining place similar to Pei Wei. You go up to the counter, pick your noodle dish, pick your protein, and then add any side items you want. Then, your food is made fresh and brought to your table in a short period of time.
I’m no master chef, but a lot of the items on the menu are things I can easily make at home. Regardless, I decided to try the Whole Grain Tuscan Fresca with grilled chicken as my protein along with a side of Caesar salad. I don’t drink soda, so I usually order water whenever I go out to eat. Typically, restaurants will just give me a cup for water free of charge. Noodles & Company charged me for a cup of water. Now, I’m not a cheapskate by any means, but come on now. Even fancy restaurants offer water as complimentary. I didn’t purchase bottled water or anything. I just wanted regular water from the fountain.
Ok, so my dish and side came out at the same time. No croutons on my Caesar salad. Bummer. The Tuscan Fresca dish was pretty good, but like I said, this is the kind of thing I can make on my own at home. I’d suggest they add some more exotic dishes to their menu.
The staff is friendly. For a fast casual place, they even come by to check and see how you like the food. Chipotle doesn’t do that. But then again, Chipotle doesn’t need to because they know their food is awesome.
I’m not anti-​Noodles & Company. I’ll probably come back to try one of their other dishes or maybe a sandwich. I just wasn’t blown away or felt like, «I should be eating pasta here instead of at home!»

Im very excited to finally have a noodles and company near me in orlando. I think everyone needs to keep in mind that this is a «fast food» type of noodle place so you shouldn’t be expecting any high end restaurant quality pasta dishes but for what it is I find it delicious. I personally love the mac n cheese (yes I am a 4 year old sometimes) but I have also tried other dishes in the past at other locations and found them delicious as well. I personally like the parmesan crusted chicken with any dish I have had and the steak with the stroganoff. Since I like to be a 4 year old with my mac n cheese sometimes I also must recommend the rice crispy treats which are huge and awesome.

So the hubs and I were able to visit here recently. He got the Pad Thai and I got the Pesto Cavatappi, and we shared a Margherita flatbread.
I REALLY wanted to try a huge bowl of mac and cheese but didn’t want a heavy feeling of food before hitting the theme parks. Next time!
Good:
Everyone really friendly, clean atmosphere, noodles were fresh and light. Tasty for a light lunch.
The meh:
The Margherita flatbread was pretty underwhelming. It didn’t look like the menu photo (no surprise there though lol), not that much cheese and scattered spinach leaves. It wasn’t crunchy at all.
Other than that I do think we’ll try it again since they did have plenty of other options and I really want to try that Mac and cheese bowl.
Update 2015:
Tried the mac and cheese bowl and it was okay. It did need some more flavor so I added a boat load of pepper. It reminded me of the mac and cheese served at Crispers where many items are low sodium for diabetics or people watching their intake. The hubs had the Bangkok curry and he really liked it.

I would probably have given this place 4 stars, but…
I’ve only been to this restaurant once, so it will get knocked down 2 stars based upon this sole experience. Having tried «Italio» (another past bowl restaurant) recently, I was not all that excited to try Noodles and Co (suffice it to say I wasn’t too impressed with Italio). It just seems to me that I can make spaghetti at my house easy enough, why would I need to go to a fast food restaurant? However, I immediately realized Noodles and Co. was a much different place upon first glance at the menu — which includes a wide assortment of dishes from various ethnic backgrounds (italian, asian, salads, etc).
I was very excited to see Steak Stroganoff on the menu, which I have not had in a long time. I placed my order, along with an order of Pot Stickers and began waiting for my to-​go order. This is where they lose a star…
After waiting for nearly 10 minutes for my food, someone came out to notify me they were out of the egg noodles for the Stroganoff.
Let that sink in: OUT OF NOODLES. At a restaurant called NOODLES AND CO.
That would be like Burger King running out of Burgers.
And it wasn’t just the fact that they were out (of NOODLES at NOODLES AND CO), but it was that they for some reason waited nearly 10 minutes to tell me that (2^nd star lost), and then asked if I would like to substitute another type of noodle. I opted instead to change my order to the Alfredo MontAmore (so another 10 minutes I waited…) but I didn’t receive so much as an apology. Perhaps a coupon for a return visit may have even been in order.
I ordered a large, and it was a good sized portion for the price (around $ 8.75). The pasta was good overall, and the pot stickers were also pretty decent. I only wish I could have actually tried the Stroganoff…
I’ll eventually give this place another shot, but for now my sole experience left me a little disappointed.

Great prices, AMAZING portion sizes, quality food!
I had the Pad Thai and absolutely loved it! Have been waiting to try this place for years but never have made it out to the other locations. Finally a closer option and I will definitely be a regular customer! Must try!
