So I usually only get the Med salad with parm crusted chicken.. But I've had the pad Thai at another location and it was pretty good, so today I decided to get it. ;-( soooo disappointed.. The noodles were exceptionally dry and bland... The shrimp were so tiny. Definitely not what I've had from here previously. The only consistent thing that I've found with Noodles and Co is the inconsistency.. I was very displeased...

This is a great place for pasta! They have a great variety of combinations. The restaurant is not the quickest place to get your meal but I find the staff at this location to be friendly and accommodating. Not only can you choose from items ranging from beef stroganoff to pad Thai to Mac and cheese, but everything can be customized to you liking. The seating is not that comfortable and the room can be a little on the loud side at times. If you in a hurry, try the order online feature.

Food is great here, but it is not worth to spend your money on. I don't know what happened to the restaurants in white Marsh. Since 2014 all of the restaurants dropped by a lot. I mean by food quality, and the staff as well. So my last visit to this place, I had bought Grilled chicken Cesar Salad for about $9 which is fine but finding out that it only had only 2 pieces of cold grilled chicken nuggets was very disappointing. I expected a larger size of salad and extra chicken for paying $9 for a salad plate. I mean I could have ordered a steak with salad and another side for about $12. So I suggest that the store must decrease the price or making the plate much larger including a decent amount of chicken especially for $9. People expect for paying $9 it should be a meal not a side dish.

I have been there twice, both with my g/f because she loves trendy hipsterish places. I would never go there by choice, and for good reasons. First time I went there, my mac n cheese was cold. The cold cheese, I can understand, but the pasta cold? Uh? The second visit...my thai noodle had a hair in there...ew, never going there again.

Great place for quick Asian fusion. Excellent Pad Tai, and for a great tasting low calorie lunch try The Med flatbread sandwich. This location almost always has great service, clean, and friendly unlike the location in Towson.

Raw & Undercooked pasta. My first dish was way 'al dente, when they remade it, same thing yet with crunchy clumps of uncooked pasta. I will not return to a place that does not even care about its own product. This place owes me $9

What a great chain! We stopped here on our drive back to Boston on 95N. Glad we did it - so much better than other fast food places and chains. The staff was really friendly and they get you your meal within 5 minutes of ordering it. Granted it isn't as fast or cheap as say Taco Bell or Panda Express but the quality is way better. I got the Thai Curry with tofu (and the curry is all vegan! They don't label it but they told me it is so no fish sauce or beef stock. I imagine most of their Asian noodles dishes can be vegan). It was really yummy especially with the fresh cilantro. However they should de-stem the cilantro or put it on the side. Nothing is more annoying than having to pull cilantro stems out of your mouth or in the soup to just eat the leaves. I wish there were more veggies in my soup though and less onions. And more noodles. Kind of ironic to have a place called Noodles & Company that isn't generous on the noodles! The portion of liquid to noodles wasn't good, so add more noodles! Otherwise it was delicious. Lots of flavor and spicy. My boyfriend got the Pad Thai with chicken and he liked it a lot. They put a ton of fried egg in the Pad Thai, more than I have ever seen. The chicken is in big chunks not little pieces like the tofu. However I am glad my tofu was in little pieces I like that better and it fries better. I got a bottle cream soda to drink and he got a fountain drink. I think our total was around $22? So yeah not super cheap but decent pricing. You pay for the bowl/salad/sandwich and then add your protein (beef, chicken, shrimp, and tofu and maybe more?) There are other dishes too like Italian and Mediterranean dishes. There are a fair amount of vegan and vegetarian dishes, especially with the Asian dishes. Not so many vegan ones that are Italian though. They also put the calorie count on each dish but I don't know if that includes the protein calories too? If you check-in with FourSquare for the first time you get a free cookie or rice krispie treat. So I asked for the free rice krispie treat for my boyfriend - it was huge! The only downfall at the place is that there is only one bathroom for women and one for men, so you have to wait forever to use it.

I love coming coming here! Great food, friendly and welcoming service. However, I wasn't too pleased this past time when I received my order and it wasn't correct. It took over 10 minutes to receive my crusted chicken that was supposed to be over my pesto. When it finally arrived, the waitress was very sympathetic and even made up for the mishap by giving me a complementary rice crispy treat dessert. Overall great place, I will be back.

Order was wrong the first time. Asked for noodles Alfredo and mushrooms, Mac n cheese with extra cheese, and a small Caesar salad. Mac was cold not even room temp. Instead of the Alfredo we received and idk what with spinach, tomato, and other things?!? No salad. We didn't receive a receipt either. The Mac tasted decent beside it being cold. The salad was more micro mini than a side and a tiny dot of dressing on one leaf. Should have went to chick fil a.

I actually really love Noodles. For a quick fast food style place the food is really well done and the selection is big enough for everyone. Comfort food done well. Despite being a chain, I eat here pretty regularly.

Amira A.
The Noodle! I love this place. Sucks we don't have one in NYC but it would be hella expensive as it is overpriced in Baltimore. I never knew how much extra I was paying for shrimp. A bowl is what $5-$6 and I add shrimp and it always end up being $9-$10. Finally found out shrimp is $3 and some change for five pieces lol. Stop playing Noodle. Other than that I'm a happy camper when I get my pesto cavatappi. I can never seem to try something new because I rarely get to eat here so I want what I want. Also damn that rice krispy treat is delicious and buttery. Not even supposed to be eating it. Not sure why I thought the food here was kosher lol.

Great concept that keeps getting better. I love their new menu boards. They are always trying new entrees. I did not see the Chili Mac on the menu, do you think they may have had additional negative input regarding this entree? Quality and service is top notch. Very good price/value relationship.

I love the concept of this fast food noodle shop. They have a variety of dishes to choose from and all is cooked to order. Overall, it was a good, quick, and tasty bite to eat & I wish they had one of these chains in Miami! HINT, HINT!

Have tried the pastas here before but they were not too great. Today I tried the BBQ pork and Mac, and must say its quite good. I was reluctant initially as I am not a big fan of very cheese food, but this one was a good mix of pork, mac and cheese. Not something that gets you stuffed and has a good portion.

sherri s.
I really like this chain. This is my 2nd time trying it (different location) and I found myself craving the med sandwich. The naan type bread is so good and really makes for a tasty sandwich! I needed to take offline star because my sandwich was better at the other location. This one seemed rushed and less stuff on it. However, my soup was hotter here and better at this one. Anyway... I will be back as I enjoy the food and prices!

Noodles & Company is a great place for good, inexpensive food. The menu features several selections, including salads, American (mac & cheese), Italian (pasta), and Asian (pad thai) meals. Once a dish is selected, you can add a delicious side of chicken, meatballs, or shrimp (I believe tofu may be available as well). Even the small meals have a large amount of food and start around $5 (with an additional $2.50 for the side). I had the pad thai with chicken and thought it was delicious - even went back to get seconds To Go. ( I've had pad thai before from a more expensive ($$$) chain and it reminded me of cat food.) This was a great place and I would definitely recommend it!

Christina H.
I work nearby and come here every ooooonce in awhile for lunch, but each visit has been pretty decent. Not sure why, but it kind of reminds me of Panera with noodles. My favorite dish is the penne rosa with chicken. I usually just get a large bowl with chicken, but last time I decided to get the trio with a small bowl of noodles, chicken and a side soup of Thai curry. I have never had Thai curry anywhere, but if it tastes like the one I had that day, then I would probably never order it again. The service is quick and they have free wifi which is great while waiting for your order to come to your table. Don't forget to check in on foursquare to get your free Rice Krispies treat!

A place built on the idea of heaping plates of pasta, bottles of Sriracha and offers vegan protein? It was like stumbling into the restaurant I was always supposed to open. Listen, I eat here often. I could live on pasta and I put Sriracha on damn near everything. I adore the pasta fresca (no cheese add tofu and lots and lots of cock sauce) with the tossed green salad. They offer beer and wine and their computerized soft drink machine is modern and fun, endless options. Their ciabatta roll is also good stuff. Consistency, speed and location eased this review to 5 stars.

This was my family's and my first time eating here. The menu was great, exactly what this pregnant lady has been craving! The dishes were clearly marked with which were vegetarian- big for me. The veggies tasted fresh. The food was ready quickly and was delicious. I loved the tea too. We will be returning to this place when we decide to eat out. The only issue I had was the cleanliness of the tables. There were noodles and sticky spots on every table I looked at, which is a big fat turn off for me. I'd like to see that problem taken care of! Then I'll come back and adjust to five stars, for sure.

Not bad... Though this is a chain, I'd never seen, heard of, or been to a Noodles & Company until I found this location, while in Baltimore for business. My friend and I ordered online so that we could pick up our food on our way back to my hotel (home away from home) after work. I wasn't that hungry so I let him choose what he wanted and decided I'd just pick at some of his food. Online ordering was actually really easy and convenient and you can see photos of all of the food, which is nice. He ended up ordering a trio, which is the small bowl of noodles (1), your choice of protein (2), and soup or a side salad (3). So he got pad thai (no peanuts, since I'm allergic) with shrimp and the Thai curry soup (I guess he was in a Thai mood) and because he was feeling indulgent, he also got a small order of potstickers. I thought the pad thai was surprisingly good, considering I'm usually really skeptical about Asian food made by non-Asians. It had good seasoning and was full of veggies, which I liked, and they were really generous with the shrimp. That surprised me because usually, fast food places skimp on the protein. I thought the soup was okay. I was expecting it to be creamier, but it was sort of watery and there were so many noodles in the soup and not much broth. After a few minutes, the noodles soaked up the bulk of the liquid so I abandoned the soup after a few sips. The potstickers were really flat and didn't have much filling, but I thought the soy sauce for dipping was good. It had hot pepper flakes in it, or something, so it was a little spicy, which made it yummier. My review in one sentence would be that it's nothing to write home about but I'd go again.

For $10 I can get a never ending pasta bowl, salad & breadsticks at Olive Garden and this place charges $9 for a tiny bowl of dried out pasta with a couple tablespoons of sauce (not enough) and 5 small, just OK meatballs. You don't even get a roll with this. The potstickers were disgusting. I will not be returning a second time.

Becca H.
One of my favorite places to go on my lunch break. Some complain that they are "too expensive," but I disagree. These are usually the people who are accustomed to the McDonald's dollar menu. This is real, quality food. And it gets you full. A whole bowl of pasta with meat and a drink for around $10-$11. Not bad at all.

This is the first time I visited this particular location. They were out of flat bread, soda machine was broken, and food that we ordered seemed under cooked. Staff was okay not that helpful. I've visited other locations and they were great...maybe this location needs more owner involvement.

Michael N.
3.5 stars would be my rating. This location is consistent. Food is good and always prepared to order. In 20 visits I've only experienced one error. Instead or grilled chicken, they put Parmesan chicken on my entree by mistake. Decent food at a decent price. My only complaint is the music and the staff seem to get a little loud from time to time.

Sarah S.
Ai love noodles & co but this particular location is very poor. I've tried doing phone order but they put me on hold so long I actually arrived at the restaurant before she took my order. I get the penne rosa but it's never consistent at this location. The pot stickers are overlooked and smashed here too. Last time I went, they forgot my order, then I asked about it and waited even longer, asked again and thy found it in someone else's to go bag.

Quick dinner where everybody in the family can get what they like. I love the concept of mixing ethnic cusines on the menu. Asian, Italian, generic American ...theyve got something for everyone. Portions are large - the small bowl is enough for most appetites. I also love anyplace with unlimited refills on drinks!

Great different stop on any highway trip up north. Much tastier and healthier than fast food and just as close to the highway! And to top the experience off, if you check in with foursquare you get a FREE rice krispy treat! Noodles and Company is a chain, and is definitely one I will visiting instead of others back home.

I've heard great things about this chain from friends, so I was very excited to grab some pasta with my girlfriend before going to a movie. I had a Mediterranean pasta dish with feta and shrimp; I really enjoyed the taste and it was fairly filling. I could have probably eaten another one! My GF had the Pad Thai and Thai Curry Soup and she liked it as well. We usually get Pad Thai at Pei Wei in Towson which is very good, so our expectations are pretty high with that dish. The food was served to us very quickly (albeit it was a Sunday and a Ravens game was on). The cashier was very friendly and helped us out with the menu. We are definitely looking forward to eating there again with our friends soon!

Comparing Noodles & Company to other chains who offer similar fare I have never had a problem. Food is usually consistent! The GOOD - japanese pan noodles pretty good - organic tofu - being more conscious of gmo's - rice krispy treats are the best - online ordering is fast and simple - cups for water - clean inside The BAD - shrimp at times can taste rubbery Overall Noodles is a good spot for a quick meal that is a little fast-food and a little sit-down. I will always go back.

I'm a huge fan of the different takes on fast food that are coming out. Noodles & Co is a nice alternative to Panera Bread. The meals package up easily to go, but this location also has plenty of seating, and you'll end up with a much more environmentally friendly meal with this option. If you haven't been to a Noodles and Co - it's a number of noodle based meals from pad thai to chicken alfredo. Meals are around 10 bucks, there are plenty of options for vegetarians (vegans possibly). You order from pre-configured items, or create your own, pay, take your order number stand to your table and wait for a server to bring your fresh made meal to you (10 minutes or even less usually). I haven't seen where you are supposed to drop your trays afterwards - but staff does clear tables. If you're going with a group at a busy day - designate one person to grab a table while the others order. Now - the downside that I do have to disclose - one member of my party ended up with a hair in their food. The staff seemed genuinely surprised - and they comped her two free bowls for the future and offered apologies. She won't be going back - but I honestly think this was a one off error based on their response.

The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

So I usually only get the Med salad with parm crusted chicken.. But I've had the pad Thai at another location and it was pretty good, so today I decided to get it. ;-( soooo disappointed.. The noodles were exceptionally dry and bland... The shrimp were so tiny. Definitely not what I've had from here previously. The only consistent thing that I've found with Noodles and Co is the inconsistency.. I was very displeased...

Food is great here, but it is not worth to spend your money on. I don't know what happened to the restaurants in white Marsh. Since 2014 all of the restaurants dropped by a lot. I mean by food quality, and the staff as well. So my last visit to this place, I had bought Grilled chicken Cesar Salad for about $9 which is fine but finding out that it only had only 2 pieces of cold grilled chicken nuggets was very disappointing. I expected a larger size of salad and extra chicken for paying $9 for a salad plate. I mean I could have ordered a steak with salad and another side for about $12. So I suggest that the store must decrease the price or making the plate much larger including a decent amount of chicken especially for $9. People expect for paying $9 it should be a meal not a side dish.

For $10 I can get a never ending pasta bowl, salad & breadsticks at Olive Garden and this place charges $9 for a tiny bowl of dried out pasta with a couple tablespoons of sauce (not enough) and 5 small, just OK meatballs. You don't even get a roll with this. The potstickers were disgusting. I will not be returning a second time.

One of my favorite places to go on my lunch break. Some complain that they are "too expensive," but I disagree. These are usually the people who are accustomed to the McDonald's dollar menu. This is real, quality food. And it gets you full. A whole bowl of pasta with meat and a drink for around $10-$11. Not bad at all.

This is the first time I visited this particular location. They were out of flat bread, soda machine was broken, and food that we ordered seemed under cooked. Staff was okay not that helpful. I've visited other locations and they were great...maybe this location needs more owner involvement.

3.5 stars would be my rating. This location is consistent. Food is good and always prepared to order. In 20 visits I've only experienced one error. Instead or grilled chicken, they put Parmesan chicken on my entree by mistake. Decent food at a decent price. My only complaint is the music and the staff seem to get a little loud from time to time.

Ai love noodles & co but this particular location is very poor. I've tried doing phone order but they put me on hold so long I actually arrived at the restaurant before she took my order. I get the penne rosa but it's never consistent at this location. The pot stickers are overlooked and smashed here too. Last time I went, they forgot my order, then I asked about it and waited even longer, asked again and thy found it in someone else's to go bag.

Quick dinner where everybody in the family can get what they like. I love the concept of mixing ethnic cusines on the menu. Asian, Italian, generic American ...theyve got something for everyone. Portions are large - the small bowl is enough for most appetites. I also love anyplace with unlimited refills on drinks!

Great different stop on any highway trip up north. Much tastier and healthier than fast food and just as close to the highway! And to top the experience off, if you check in with foursquare you get a FREE rice krispy treat! Noodles and Company is a chain, and is definitely one I will visiting instead of others back home.

I've heard great things about this chain from friends, so I was very excited to grab some pasta with my girlfriend before going to a movie. I had a Mediterranean pasta dish with feta and shrimp; I really enjoyed the taste and it was fairly filling. I could have probably eaten another one! My GF had the Pad Thai and Thai Curry Soup and she liked it as well. We usually get Pad Thai at Pei Wei in Towson which is very good, so our expectations are pretty high with that dish. The food was served to us very quickly (albeit it was a Sunday and a Ravens game was on). The cashier was very friendly and helped us out with the menu. We are definitely looking forward to eating there again with our friends soon!

Went here this afternoon and tried the pad thai. Was probably the best I've had at an American chain. Pretty good, but a bit spicy for my tastes.

Just love this place...More than enough food for a great price

Great food at a reasonable price with quick service worth it to stop by to avoid typical fast food

Comparing Noodles & Company to other chains who offer similar fare I have never had a problem. Food is usually consistent! The GOOD - japanese pan noodles pretty good - organic tofu - being more conscious of gmo's - rice krispy treats are the best - online ordering is fast and simple - cups for water - clean inside The BAD - shrimp at times can taste rubbery Overall Noodles is a good spot for a quick meal that is a little fast-food and a little sit-down. I will always go back.

I'm a huge fan of the different takes on fast food that are coming out. Noodles & Co is a nice alternative to Panera Bread. The meals package up easily to go, but this location also has plenty of seating, and you'll end up with a much more environmentally friendly meal with this option. If you haven't been to a Noodles and Co - it's a number of noodle based meals from pad thai to chicken alfredo. Meals are around 10 bucks, there are plenty of options for vegetarians (vegans possibly). You order from pre-configured items, or create your own, pay, take your order number stand to your table and wait for a server to bring your fresh made meal to you (10 minutes or even less usually). I haven't seen where you are supposed to drop your trays afterwards - but staff does clear tables. If you're going with a group at a busy day - designate one person to grab a table while the others order. Now - the downside that I do have to disclose - one member of my party ended up with a hair in their food. The staff seemed genuinely surprised - and they comped her two free bowls for the future and offered apologies. She won't be going back - but I honestly think this was a one off error based on their response.
