For the second time in a week I tried what I would consider to be real Japanese food. Having read extensively from my Japanese friends I have found out that Udon is a basic noodle used in Japanese food. Udon can be served in many varieties in the same way Italian noodles can be used is great varieties. I ordered the Japanese bowl which consisted of Udon noodles and vegitables for an extra charge you can add a meat. I chose pork as this seems to be the way many of my Japanese friends order it. My pork came out shredded not off putting but not what I was thinking. I was very impressed with the taste of the dish and after I finished I was kind of sad as I really enjoyed the food. I will be back.

Like a chipotle, only with noodles. I’ve tried almost everything in the menu and it’s all delicious. The chicken is good. The tofu is so great, high quality. I love this place for a quick lunch.

I always thought this place was just a fast food Italian pasta restaurant. not at all. Healthy. Fresh. Asian inspired some gluten free products. much more comfortable place than most fast food restaurants because they have carpeting on the floor instead of tile such as feels a bit homier with the wood tables. I’ve been here a couple times now and the staff is super friendly and very accommodating. The only thing missing is hot drinks. They really need to have tea.

Had Thai hot pot, very good and flavorful. A place to go to when you want good food to fill you up and get it fast.

Love all noodles and company stores and this one is pretty well kept. I always get the Wisconsin Mac n’ cheese with meatballs and it’s delicious.

This has become our go-to place for our family when with our kids. They LOVE noodles and this place satisfies all their desires. The place is usually very clean and bright. The staff friendly and welcoming. They are always patient when our group orders. It would drive me up the wall being on their end so kudos to them for their ability to withstand this stuff probably customer after customer! Everyone was satisfied with what they got. I tried the new flat bread and was pleasantly surprised. It was a tad spicy but not enough that it bothered me nor make me NOT want to order it again.

Service was extremely helpful and kind! I would highly recommend the cucumber tomato salad, the mac and cheese with meatballs, or the pesto cavatappi with pork. I often like the beef stroganoff as well. Potstickers were just ok; they come out flat instead of the traditional rounded dumpling, which was peculiar.

My wife and I were very impressed with Noodles & Company. We both got Items from the limited time World Tour menu. She got the Alfredo Mont Amore and it was fantastic. Needed a little salt, but it IS a quasi-health food place. I got the Thai Hot Pot and was very pleased. It was a sweet curry and coconut flavored soup and the flavor had great balance. Prices were reasonable, but don’t waste your money upgrading the meat for over $ 2. Not enough meat to justify the price. Looking forward to returning soon.

You pick your noodles… your dish type and your protein. They put it all together for you. The cool thing is the dishes vary widely. You can get everything from mac & cheese, to pad thai, to pesto pasta.

I am sorry but this was a big disappointment. I had the Indonesian peanut sauté and tried my daughters order of pad Thai. The sauces were harsh — too much spice on the peanut sauté and the pad Thai was heavy on the fish sauce. They have a good concept but they failed to execute it in my opinion.

Noodles and Co. was right around my work for over a year and I love this place. I’ve had run ends with rude employees twice out of the 50 plus times I’ve been there. There are many healthier options here and you can satisfy Asian, American, or Mediterranean craving. This was ideal for me because I had many co-workers that don’t eat that«different stuff.» My favorites: Truffle Mac: Baby Bella mushrooms flared with truffle oil over Mac and cheese topped with bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. I’m guilty of trying to recreate this amazing yumminess at home. Pesto Cavatappi(My personal favorite of all favorites) I even had a guy buy this one and try to act like he made this. Kudos for putting it in his own dishes. Almost had my buddy! This has basil pesto mixed with a cream sauce and parsley with pasta, tomatoes and mushroom with Parmesan on top. It’s sooo yummy. It has the perfect amount of garlic in it. More than most places. I usually would top with their Parmesan Chicken. Steak Stroganoff: Pepper, noddles, cream sauce and steak of course! It has quite a few spices on top. Parmesan as well.(I’m starting to think this is their staple!) That’s what I love though. You can«protein it up» with adding chicken(I highly suggest the Parmesan crusted chicken), shrimp, or steak. It is all made fresh and served in a bowl. Almost seems like a fast food nice restaurant. Nice bowls and actual silverware. My added bonus is they have srichacha on the table. I loved it in my Cavatappi.

I love this place. Everything I have had here is really good and the price is decent. The people working are usually pretty nice but I have been in there once when the person working seemed like they hated their life. Everyone has bad days though. Their menu has something for everyone and the dishes are customizable so if something isn’t quite right for you, it can be adjusted. I would definitely recommend it.

They get 5 stars based on the stroganoff alone … one of my favorite all time dishes and something I feel like is a treat for me … so I don’t eat it often, just when I am really wanting this dish. Healthy comfort food I think, and always good service and clean. They mac and cheese is very good too, although I get it with extra cheese. If you haven’t tried them yet, definitely at least do so once.

Second time around just as great! I went back for another Summer Salad. I have been craving the Chile-Lime and Ginger Salad ever since I was introduced to it on it’s debut. I added a cup of their Chicken Noodle Soup and I think this is the best I have had in my life thus far. The gal ringing my order up must have been in a hurry because when I told her I wanted to add the soup, and my husband would like to add a salad, she said she already closed the order and sent it to the kitchen but that she would give it to us FREE. Thanks again, and as Arnold would say, «I’ll be back!»

Love this Noodles location! The employees are always so nice and the tables are always clean. Love to pick up a bowl of noodles on my way to class!

I hate to write a review for a chain but I do really like this place. I usually only get tofu in the meals so I can’t comment on the quality of the meat but I think it’s a great place to eat with a kid. Not only does no one glare at you when you walk in, the whole family can get something different to eat(you know, something different but still with noodles) and the food comes quickly. Additionally, they offer a bowl of cut strawberries as a kid’s dessert option. I don’t think it’s on the menu board but the person at the register offered it as an option when she saw we had a kid. That’s huge for me — not enough places have healthy desserts for kids.

I went for the Japanese pan noodles today. I thought it had a good taste and the sauteed beef was very tasty. This is a place I can go every once in awhile but not real often. Not because the food isn’t good, but it is just a little different than I would typically eat. The place was very clean and we were well taken care of. The guy must have been keeping an eye on us because he ended up beating us to the door so he could hold it open for us. It was a nice finishing touch to the meal.

healthy fast food — ditch the fries & ‘burgers and go for japanese pan noodles with broccoli, carrots, shitake mushrooms, asian sprouts with black sesame seeds & cilantro garnish. yuuuum! you can pick a plate, or a salad — mix & match — asian, mediterranean, american. add a protein serving, including tiger shrimp or organic tofu as well as chicken or beef — and you’ve got a balanced meal on the run for $ 6.95. try the wisconsin mac & cheese, thai curry soup, pasta fresca, potstickers — and oh yeah — the flatbread or rustic rolls regular & small sizes, or choose a trio — any small noodles or soup, a protein, & a side salad — green or ceasar. for a chain, this one stacks up well.
