Noodles & Company

Didn’t apreciate being charged $ 1.25 for substituting one vegetable for another today. They didn’t even offer to give me my receipt either. I usually have a good experience here but today the cashier was kind of rude.

Amazing! I have very high standards when it comes to service and I’ve always been the one that would rather you mess up my food and treat me well than always get my food right and give me bad service. My husband and I came out for nice lunch and when our food came my order was wrong. They were very apologetic and quickly remade my food. The manager came over with a gift card for a free meal and 2 rice crispy treats. Rachael Plaggenburg, you truly are great at what you do, thank you for the great experience, oh and the food was amazing!

I love noodles sooooo much, this location in particular! We are two bands on the road (9 people) and our food came out HOT, FRESH, and QUICK! Girl behind register even recommended I try the Japanese Pan noodles and I did– best choice ever. Manager on duty, Jeremy made it a point to ensure us comfort as he stopped over to check on everything (and pick up empty dishes). This noodles continues to add to the fast, fun and friendly (and delicious) reputation they’ve developed since their conception! And it’s obvious that Rachael is an awesome GM, it shows in the amazing crew and clean atmosphere! Can’t wait to stop in again, thank you!!!

This place is amazing! Our office came in for a tasting they offered and we all enjoyed everything we tried. The spinach and strawberry salad and Indonesian peanut sauté were my favorite, and I have had the whole grain Tuscan fresca in the past and usually get that, but there wasn’t anything I did not like. They made sure to work around any allergies without sacrificing portion sizes or flavor. The staff was very friendly and we had a great experience, will definitely be coming back for more!

Wonderful dinner :) my friend and I were told the tofu for the buff bowls was out but Aaron in the kitchen made a point to cook more tofu for us! Very very happy! Thank you, Aaron!!! Great customer service :)

I go here maybe once every two weeks because of convenience, but it’s not the best. I usually get the Indo Peanut with tofu and it’s cooked differently every time. Noodles are always different consistencies, and the amount of sauce you get really depends on who is working. But it’s fast, healthy, and the people working are always really sweet. Even though the food isn’t worth raving about, I’ll be back.

Tried the pad Thai and it is just average. Quite oily too. The service is quick and the staff is friendly, the food is expensive for the quality they provide.

Alright I am a fan. Tasty food, good portions, and excellent service makes this place a good place to get some food. Definitely be going back to try more items out.

Pros– Quality food, nice atmosphere, clean restaurant and bathrooms, good service
Cons– not cheap (if you want meat), long lines

The best thing about Noodles is the convenience. It’s just across the street from the heart of the MU campus, so it’s a short walk from class. You can always get in and out quickly. They also do to-​go orders if you don’t have time to dine in.
Noodles has a large number of vegetarian options because meat is always an add-​on. You could add tofu, but most of the dishes are fine without so I don’t think it’s worth the extra cost. I have never gotten anything bad, but nothing on their menu is particularly fantastic either. Generally I stick with the penna rose, but the japanese pan noodles are pretty good too.

My overall thoughts on Noodles now that I have ate here for the first time is that it simply rocks!
A group of my friends and I (7 of us) came here for the tasting they offer at our location. You get 1 large serving tray of each of the ethnic categories they offer (3 Asian, 3 American, 3 Mediterranean). We got the following dishes with my personal reviews of each I tried ranked 1 – 5.
1 being acceptable and 5 being knock your socks off good.
Pad Thai: (5) Amazing, add hot sauce to really get the full effects! Do not skip this one if you like authentic Thai dishes!
Penne Rosa: (3) The meatballs are way above average. The rest OK.
Pesto Cavatappi: (4) Rotini noodles with a strong and tastey pesto sauce, sprinkled with parma cheese and parsley for bonus points! Delish!
Bangkok Curry: (3) Very good period! Punch in the mouth taste unlike most other dishes you get elsewhere.
Wisconsin Mac & Cheese: (3) Mac & Cheese on steroids. Bacon and veggie topping kicks it up a notch besides the 3 cheese blend they already use to make it great!
Mushroom Stroganoff: (3) This one will take the dish you dispised in middle school at the cafeteria and blast it up to your top 10 fav list within a few bites.
Whole Grain Tuscan Linguini: (2) By itself its fairly bland and flavorless. The chicken they serve it with makes up for lost taste. Adding salt and pepper alone helped big time.
Japanese Pan Noodles: (4) A truly Asian dish with all the right balance, flavor, kick and synergy of ingredients you would expect in a genuine Asian style dish. Caramalized udon noodles rock!
Did not get to try these… too full! My loss!

Staff waitress we had was very helpful with everything we needed. Very informed about the menu and the dishes we had as well.

Good choices on pasta dishes. Pretty cheap and very fast. Great casual atmosphere. Within walking distance of MU campus and downtown.
