Noodles & Company

This place takes me back! Growing up I used to *love* going to Noodles & Company to get their macaroni and cheese, and since I found myself at the Westfield UTC today I couldn’t resist getting my childhood favorite. Is anyone too old for macaroni and cheese? Absolutely not. I’ll be eating it when I’m 100.
We got the order to-​go, so I can’t comment on the dine-​in experience. However, they correctly made our order, and since they didn’t have one of the salad options we had seen on their online menu they gave us a 10% discount, so bonus points for great customer service!
They have a separate line for people who called in orders, which keeps things moving. The employee who rang us up was friendly and helpful so we were able to get in and out without too much hassle. Now that I know they have a location in UTC, I will be coming back more frequently!

Pesto Cavatappi is hands down the best pasta in the world and I love this place for quick dinner and reasonable price!

I went here today and ordered the pesto cavatappi. It was delicious at first but I eventually got bored of it. The order was basically pasta with pesto with cheese and steak for about $ 9.48 after tax. It is definitely on a more expensive side since it is located within UTC shopping mall. The place is also small though and does not have a lot seats. The environment is decent so I didn’t think the price lived up to the quality of the food and its ambience.

My review is solely based on the japanese pan noodle with beef and it was not disgusting. The beef is quite soft and seasoned quite well although the sauce on the noodle is very meh. The noodle itself was okay. What I like is that they have the cool soda machine but I would definitely find a different place to eat in UTC food court prior to going back here.

I love this place. I get treated well and they know my order when I walk up. Could be because I work in the Mall: o) but they do remember what I order perfectly. The food is always hot and fresh and to my liking. The soda machine is bomb because there is about 100 choices!!! They do get busy as hell around lunch time so be prepared.
I always get the Mushroom Stroganoff with Shrimp and Xtra sauce… YUMMMMMMY!!!

Definitely a good place. I like the fact you create your own flavor meal type of thing.
They have pre made favors like steak stroganoff, or Indonesian peanut sauce, or good olé spaghetti and meatballs. And those are just as good.
Try the pesto! With chicken. Can’t go wrong with that one.

I had a pretty good lunch from this eater located at the main entrance of the UTC food court. I ordered the Wisconsin Cheese Steak and bowl of their Tomato Basil Bisque for $ 8 and some change.
The sandwich came served with their legendary mac and cheese sauce, cheddar and Jack Cheese, to ensure cheesiness. Cheesy the sandwich was and with good flavor too. The steak inside the sandwich quite tender and tasted good. The steak sandwich came with tender red onion, tasty red peppers, and mushrooms, but the mushrooms were very limited that it was hard to taste them. Then again, it was hard to compete with all that delicious and gooey cheese.
The roll baguette was quite good. It was of the ciabatta variety to it had good airy moist pockets and a strong crunchy exterior that proved to hold up well to the good amount of cheese and meat the sandwich provided. It tasted good was not a bad thing too.
The tomato soup was good, but on the first try, the soup was lukewarm to room temp, so I asked for a new bowl. They had recently opened and the soup was not all the way heated yet. However, my second bowl was piping hot because the manager made sure it was at the right temp.
The soup’s flavor was nice and the basil flavor came through mildly in a good manner. The viscosity of the soup was medium and clung to the metal spoon well. It was well seasoned with salt and other condiments, not to mention a variety of herbs.
You know, they describe the Wisconsin Cheese Steak, «cheesy and Hearty» and that it was.

Noodles & Company is a favorite of two my friends. they love it SO MUCH. In my opinion this place is just A-​okay. So I’ve tried it twice at this location and I would almost give it 3, but it is more like a 2 star place.
The first time I came tried the buttered noodles a few months ago. I did enjoy it. the buttered noodles is simple, and yet filling.
Today I came by because another restaurant I wanted to go to had a long line and Noodles & Company had no line. so it was more for convenience, but the service was weak. The cashier said she could help me so I approached her, but she didn’t look like she could help me because she looked busy trying to be sneaky text messaging on her cell behind her register as it was so obvious and I could clearly see this. I felt like I was interrupting her, even though she is there to work and help me? She clearly fumbled in between her phone usage and even dropped her cell on the ground in front of me. This afternoon I opted for Penne Rosa which was delicious, but not all that. The food comes out quick which is a plus and the worker who gave me my food. he was smiley and nice so it was a better impression than the original person whom helped me. Overall, this place is perfect for CARB LOVERS and that’s about it.

I had their pad thai today. Flavor was alright, can’t expect much from a noodle place that does not specialize in a specific type of noodle. (Chinese, italian) They have a wide variety of options. It was decent for the price. I don’t think that the food here is amazing, it’s just a little better than the other fast food inside the UTC mall food court. I’d recommend this place over others, but definitely not a go-​to restaurant or something I would crave.

This was one of the first places I tried when I moved to the UTC area, and for the past three years I’ve been consistently going here. I like how this unique place has plates from all around the world!
However, I pretty much ALWAYS get the same thing… The spicy chicken Caesar salad and the tomato soup. I love tomato soups and am always on the hunt for the best one, and the one at noodles & company is at the top of my favorites list! It’s creamy enough to not taste just like spaghetti sauce and the bisque is always a good consistency. The sandwich is made with a generous amount of salad and dressing and cheese, topped with crispy won ton like toppings. Best small meal at UTC!
I like the variety here and I’ve taken a few friends here when we don’t know where to eat because they have every type of noodle dish, from Japanese noodles, to curry, to Mac and cheese and beef stroganoff. The prices are reasonable and you can add additional meat to your dish for a little extra. The noodles are always good with a side sandwhich or soup, or even the potstickers or garlic bread. If you’re craving something, you can probably find it here.

I was craving for some sort of pasta, either Mac N Cheese or Beef Stroganoff. So I decided to come to Noodles and Co because it has an assortment of various cuisine’s pasta dishes.
This store is located at the UTC food court perimeter right next to Starbucks. You walk in and there’s a wall menu spanning from the door almost to the register. The wall menu has drawings and descriptions of each noodle dish they serve plus soups, salads and sides.
Sometimes people have a hard time deciding what to order so the line gets congested right at the door. It’s best to ask if anybody is ready to order, and if they’re not, then politely slip right past them to order at the register. There’s a smaller hanging menu above the register.
I’ve ordered the beef mushroom stroganoff before and I used to like it a lot. Today, the meat and mushrooms were overly salty and there wasn’t enough sauce. The food was edible.

I don’t have the opportunity to go to Noodles & Company often however when I do I enjoy this fast food establishment. The seating is limited therefore you have to stalk a person to see if they are leaving or sit in the adjacent food court.
My favorite dish is the Thai Curry Soup with added marinated steak. This dish is served in a large soup bowl with yellow coconut curry broth, napa and red cabbage, mushrooms, tomato, red onion, cilantro and rice noodles with spinach on top. The broth is full of flavor and the marinated steak is just an additional burst of goodness in your mouth.
Definitely a place I would like to go to more often.

I came here with friends after some shopping. I’ve always been a fan of this place bc pasta is my favorite food; I usually have Pesto Cavatappi but I wanted to try something different so I chose the Alfredo MontAmore. I was rung up by Brian V and he was super nice! He also let me know about the secret menu, which I’ll def try another time! The prices did rise a little but I was told it’s because they make sure the quality of the food, such as the chicken, is the healthiest.
The food came out pretty quick, considering it was a little emptier than usual at the moment. My pasta and chicken was really good, making Alfredo MontAmore my new favorite (: I was here at almost closing time, so the same server gave my friends and I a free rice crispy treat! Will def try to come here more often!!!

Came for a movie and were starving so we popped in here. My Father is a fan up in LA and I had never had the chance to eat here so I agreed. I had the spicy thai soup and it was just ok. Sorry to report. Not very flavorful and there was literally one piece of chicken in it. They do give you a large bowl but with only some vegetables in it, who cares how much you get.
My friend had the chicken noodle soup and it was also pretty bland. My son ate his mac n cheese which was just ok. I won’t be a repeat customer here especially because there are so many other places to choose from here at the mall.

I had such a great lunch with my coworkers here the other day. One of our coworkers won a free lunch for the office so we got to try a large variety of the menu.
Our server, George, was extremity helpful. He recommend a ton of different plates and brought out some of the best sellers. I really liked the Japanese Pan Udon Noodles and the spicy peanut curry noodles. They also have a great Mediterranean salad which has a dressing with a spicy kick. While they have Italian food items too, I’m particular to the Asian and Indian food plates.
This is a great lunch spot and very affordable! I’ll be back again soon.

Went here for the first time after a movie — it was 7:35 and the UTC mall and food court close at 7 on Sunday. Noodles & Company closes at 8.
I’m impressed that they try to use «sustainable» and responsibly-​raised foods, (i.e. the pork, but interestingly, not designated for the beef.)
I had the Steak Stroganoff. There were maybe two tablespoons of beef in a large bowl of noodles. What was there was nice, but not much there. Even fewer mushrooms. The side salad was good, but drenched with their one choice of dressing. I’d get it on the side if I got it again.
Rice Krispy treats were good (we got them free, since they had leftovers and were about to close.) My husband’s noodles were stuck together — he had a curry and wouldn’t get it again.
Servers were friendly and didn’t rush out out at closing.
Decent, but nothing to run back for — especially if Tender Greens (yum!) or the food court are open!

Pesto Cavatappi with grilled chicken… surprisingly good for mall chain food! I doubt its any better at Olive Garden…
Unlike other chains eateries, the marketing photo even closely resembles what I got actually got. See photo.
With tax, its comes out to $ 9.05. However, it was FREE because they give you a free meal on your birthday if you’re signed up on the «eClub»…and guess what? It was my birthday! Sign up now! :)

First timer at noodles & company
Atmosphere: it is a small place part of the food court at UTC mall. Clean décor but tables are close to another
Food: i had the steak stroganoff which was ok nothing that shots out at my taste buds. the steak was a little tough but seasoned well and the pasta was kinda mushy. the tomato basil soup was quite good with a good cream flavor.
there are many other selections here at UTC food court mall and other pasta places that are much better.

If it weren’t for the delicious garlic cheesy bread, I’d give Noodles and Company two stars. But the bread is good that it bumps them up a star. I recommend ordering a side of the garlic bread, which is available in three or six slices.
Unfortunately, we were far less impressed with our pastas. We ordered the Pesto Cavatappi and Penne Rosa and found both dishes to be rather bland. The penne is listed as being spicy but it had just the slightest hint of spice. The pesto tasted decent for the first few bites but then it became a bit boring.
On the plus side, we had a BOGO from their Facebook page, which made for a cheap meal. We also spontaneously received a free rice krispie treat for printing out our coupon, which I guess not many people had done. The rice krispie was quite good and I nibbled on it for a couple of days.

I miss those glory days of my youth when on cold winter nights I could get all the delicious chicken noodle soup I wanted. Why did you abandon me Soup Exchange? I only strayed to Souplantation when the family had birthday celebrations there… Now I have been reduced to getting my fix with a can of Campbell’s. The horror.
As Noodle Co. is a short walk from home I gave them a try. Delicious aroma from the chicken noodle soup broth. Flavor was very good. I didn’t like the noodles devoid of flavor except for this annoying starchy flavor. The chicken breast was tender and had ok flavor. Overall I this dish isn’t that good and I’m gonna stick with Campbell’s chicken noodle soup.
I had a bad feeling about the potstickers when the waiter brought them out. First time I ever saw almost flat ones. The flavor of the filling was ok but the gooey, starchy flavored wrapper didn’t taste good. I’m glad I only got a small order.
Rice krispy treat was crunchy and had strong rice krispy flavor. Very good and my favorite item here. Similar to the rice krispy treats at Whole Foods.
