I guess Americans and us Asians definitely have different taste in foods. Cross that! It wasn't only about the taste, but the service was overall horrible. We asked the cashier if our dish had broccoli in it and she said "no" and my friend asked her why the photo looks like it has broccoli in it... and than she says "oh yes it does have broccoli". We ordered potstickers as an APPETIZER and.... 1. It came out 10 minutes after our meal and 2. They knew they messed up our potstickers and they served it to us anyway and said they can remake it but it will take awhile. Uhhhh Aint nobody got time for that. The presentation and taste = crap! The least they couldve done was take it off our bill... We took 1 bite and ended up throwing the rest out. Never going again... atleast to this location.

Mm...I was here several months ago. It was late afternoon and it was flipping cold out! My uncle and I were hungry after a long day walking around so we stopped in to check out the food. We ordered a plate to share since dinner was around the corner. I have to say, not bad! Food was HOT and the portion was satisfying.

I had the Bangkok curry with braised pork when I came here with my husband a few weeks ago. The portion was quite large, the food came out quickly, our cashier was friendly, and the price was decent. Although the meat in my dish was cooked well, it didn't seem like all the ingredients came together as a whole. Rather, it tasted like the noodles, meat, and veggies were cooked separately and then just put together with sauce on top. For being a chain, the food wasn't too bad, but nothing really stood out to me, either. If I don't feel like cooking but don't want to eat fast food, I'd consider going to Noodles & Company.

Can you say "swimming in dressing"!? The salad we bought tasted like nothing but sugar and vinegar :/ And normally That would only knock an experience down a couple stars but the cashier was also on the rude side. There are better food experiences to be had at this price point.

Quality and health Food Served hot fast and fresh. Their service is impeccable and they have sea salt and fresh cracked pepper. The people who works there actually care about newbies enjoying the food. Love it. Will be back because of the Assistant General Manager and General Manager and staff. And did I mention how clean it was, that was a biggie for me. It's cleaner than the Bread Company.

This noodles and company has some wonderful staff! I came in to celebrate my birthday with my free bowl and the manager himself started a clap and asked the whole store to join in and said some wonderfully encouraging things to me while doing it. The process was quick and easy and I'll most certainly be going back.

I don't usually eat at chain restaurants unless I am stuck in a place without other options. Today is one of those occasions. I'm getting my tires replaced across the street and the thing I most wanted to do was have a glass of red wine and read my book some place where it's cool. I don't know why I wanted to have a glass of red wine at 4 o'clock in the afternoon but who cares? Anyway, I ordered the cabernet and an order of cheese bread. The cheese bread was ok. I didn't really have any major issue with it because it is a chain restaurant and I wasn't expecting the highest quality. So the food was a little greasy but good. I will say the tomato sauce was outstanding. The cabernet was much better than I expected so I'm sitting here feeling kinda blissed out now. I have had entrees at the Noodle Company a couple of times previously. Each time I have been somewhat satisfied with the quality of the food. It's never been off-putting but, like I said, it's a chain restaurant so it's not like you're at home made quality. This worked out well for me today because I was able to sit quietly and enjoy my wine. The atmosphere here is laid back and the place is more or less clean.

There is a lot to like about this casual dining restaurant. The staff are very good. They're helpful, and get the order right. The dining room is one of my favorites anywhere for fast casual dining. It suites me fine. Taste and flavor wise the recipes are all good. Food quality is consistently really good. My only gripe, and it's not minor, is that the meat is always dried out. Not leather tough - not quite. Always. So yeah, they're consistent. I don't get it. Fix your meat problem and I'll eat there 2 or 3 times a month instead of every 2 or 3 months.

Hans G.
It's a fast food chain. And yet, it does not suck. They bring you your order, they bus the tables. The food is reliably tasty but uninspired. It's nice to be able to order a small entree and receive a human-sized portion. Easily the best fast food option in the area for vegetarians.

Kristin S.
I eat here regularly. Sadly, I'm a poor cook, and it's only a mile from my house. It's quick, convenient, and delicious. My new fav is the Southwest Mac and Cheese. I'm also a fan of the Penne Rosa and the Thai Peanut Saute. Yes, I agree that this food may not be gourmet, but they're not claiming to be. As far as I'm concerned, Noodles delivers on their promise to serve up affordable, tasty, made-to-order food in the shortest of waits.

Mike D.
Where else can I get meatballs in my mac & cheese for less than $6? I love Noodles for what it is, a quick, somewhat healthy escape from fried food that has something for anyone. And seriously, try the meatballs in mac & cheese. I had to try it to believe it.
Great staff! Always so friendly when I walk in the door. Love the food- it's always hot and fresh!

Noodles & Company sounds like it should be a decent place to eat. It's in a convenient location, offers a wide variety of inexpensive dishes (noodles, soups, and sandwiches), and its dining area is spacious and comfortable. The staff are always really friendly and the food comes out quickly. About that food. The offerings sound terribly tempting--Mac & Cheese, Japanese Soba, Mediterranean Vegetable--but they come out lukewarm to cold most times and taste...bland. Underwhelming. You can tell that their sauces and appetizers probably come straight from a freezer, and that's sad--they're just simple pasta dishes. There's no reason that this food shouldn't be great. It wouldn't take any effort at all to just make it fresh. I end up here just to throw something down my neck before I go grocery shopping, but really wouldn't end up here otherwise. It all just adds up to a forgettable meal, but maybe that's the level of the chain's ambitions. Oh, well. Fast food. Meh.

Used a coupon for a free small bowl of Pad Thai with shrimp to go. Normally, this would have cost $4.29 for the noodles and an extra $2.35 for the shrimp. The amount of food I received was a little disappointing. I would suggest getting a large if you are hungry. Expectedly, the bowl was comprised largely of rice noodles. They were very bland. It was almost dry, leading me to believe they didn't put in enough of whatever sauce they use to cook or flavor with. The shrimp were nothing special. I would have been upset if I didn't have a coupon and were paying for this meal. I may give Noodles & Company another try, but won't be getting this specific bowl again.

Whenever I get the urge or craving for mac' n' cheese this is is the place I come to. It isn't the greatest but it really does hit the spot. Nothing better than carb loading after a workout. Is it the greatest? No, far from it, but it does work and especially for the price. The place feels like a hybrid between a sit down space and a fast food restaurant and I think they pull it off really well. There are plenty of options for everyone. I was impressed with the selection and the fact that I could add chicken or beef for around $2.50 to any of their selections. I really should have tried one of their soups so I'll have to come back. From what others have said about their salads I may have to try one of those as well. The staff is always friendly and they do a good job in serving you quickly. The place has a lot of potential and I hope they can continue to prove it to me. So far, so good though.

This is a great Noodles and Company location in St. Louis! I frequently go here for lunch. The management and staff are very polite and get your food out quick. Because I changed my diet to less carbs someone recently referred me back to Noodles and Company because they have a "Crave-Worthy" Caesar Salad. So for the first time I ordered their Caesar salad with Grilled Chicken and extra Parmesan cheese. The salad was wonderful and yes it was "Crave-Worthy". For people that enjoy their fill of carbs I would highly recommending the Japanese Pan Noodles.
Well, I've had it with Noodles. This is one chain that I thought I could enjoy, food-wise. And, besides having too much salt (expected), I finally decided they're not worth it. A few weeks ago I went to pick up an order for a group of six. They told me while I was waiting that they "gave away" my order to another customer so it would be another 10 minutes. No big deal. But when I got *that* order home, it was wrong. I went all the way back up to Noodles and, to their credit, they fixed it and kindly gave a card good for a free bowl. I passed by today and went in for my free bowl to-go and, what do you know, they messed it up again (ordered the bowl with chicken; it had none). Not worth it to drive back up there. Sheesh, I thought consistenly wrong orders was the domain of McDonalds in, say, 1985.

I got a small order of the spicy spaghetti & meatballs to go. My total was $7.15 so I handed the young kid $10.50. She gives me back $2.60. I said " I thought the total was $7.15" she looks at me w/a confused look on her face. I literally had to brake it down for her & do the math for her. I'm sorry but I thought now a days u didn't even have to know simple math thought the register did it all. Good thing she was a nice kid & I come often but disappointed who ever does the hiring there.

This is a terrible Noodles & Co. store. I've eaten at others around the area that are quite competent. This one cannot turn out decent food. They make noodles *ahead* and hold them, and then dump hot sauce on top and hope for the best. There's no care taken, and sometimes the noodles are even gluey. The manager, when this was pointed out, was a sarcastic jerk. I will *never* return to this location.

Good place to quickly fill your belly with decent inexpensive food. The cute employees were a welcome relief from the bitter cold outside, and isn't that worth 4 stars in itself? Their iced tea, strangely, tasted particularly good.

Ellie Y.
It's edible, albeit rather bland. Has significant vegetarian options. We tried the Japanese noodles and the Thai option. The Japanese item was udon noodles in pretty much a flavorless sauce, and the Thai was better, and they were actually pretty accurate about giving it a two chile rating, making it the spiciest thing on the menu. I dumped a bunch of hot sauce on it before letting the burn kick in. If I were ever in the area again and starving, I might consider the Thai soup option, but I'm not jumping on a plane and flying 2000 miles just for that. (Actually, I'm not sure if there's anything I would do that for unless I moved out of California or somewhere else without a serious mix of different foods)

When: April 23 Why: Dinner - Carry- Out (dining alone) Menu: Whole Grain Tuscan Linguine with Parmesan-Crusted Chicken Let me sing the praises first, before I slap them down a notch or two. I was impressed with the vegetables in my entree. The broccoli florets were cooked perfectly , they had that fresh veggie snap. I loved the fact that both the red pepper and onion were cut vertically and not horizon ally. The button mushrooms were also not over cooked which I would have expected from a fast food noodle place. The Parmesan Crusted Chicken Breast was large in size, pre-sliced and as flavorful if not more as one you could get at the Pasta House. You can watch them prepare the food and it appeared to be a well oiled working team. Big bonus points that their carry out containers are #5 and can be recycled after washing. Now for the slap down. When I entered, I was greeted promptly (yes, that is a good thing), but they lost it after the greeting. I stated it was my first time and wanted to study the menu. When I stepped up to order, the young lady (rudely) interrupted me, wanting to know which size i wanted. I did not see on the sign that I needed to say size first. She obviously in her fast food career has not been taught how to up sell. Until I was leaving, did I realize I could have made it a trio. If I were at McDonald's or Hardees, you know they'd want to add fries or make it a value meal. Now for the biggest slap down. SODIUM. If you watch your sodium intake do not eat here. As I ate my entree, I knew there was too much sodium. When I checked their website, most dishes had either half or exceeded your daily recommended intake. I was going to give them 2 stars, but IBC Creme Soda (in a bottle) saved their ass.

I am not a fan of chains, but Noodles & Company is one that I have to admit I am a regular at. Partly due to it's closeness to Target (which I am addicted to) and partly because, for a chain, it's GOOD. The atmosphere in here is quite pleasant for a fast food type place. And you can get beer and wine when you dine in. The staff is also quite friendly and the kitchen is open and always seem to be very clean. The food itself has never disappointed me. The mac and cheese is damn good (I've taken to adding onions and red peppers) and my new favorite, the Pasta Fresca, is delicious. My boyfriend loves the truffle mac, but my distaste of mushrooms keeps me away from that one. The menu isn't huge, but you can add things to each dish to mix it up. I would never claim this to be a culinary masterpiece, but for a quick bite when I'm out running errands, I'll take this over the neighboring McDonalds any day.

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.

If you are reading this review-- sign up for their email blast! You'll get an occasional buy one get one free entrée coupon and a free meal on your birthday! Noodles and Co. is very convenient to my house (St louis hills). We walk here quite a bit on nights I don't feel like cooking. Pros: Prices are really reasonable Portions are huge The are FAST at filling orders Menu is pretty broad if you like noodles Restaurant is always clean Cons: Family friendly (pro) but can often be a little loud. They do have outside seating as an option. Their food is obviously not going to be on par with the Italian food on the Hill. Manage your expectations. Wish they had more healthy options Definitely think it's the best quick food option in the area.

Noodles & Company could be cool, but it's lame. I agree with another reviewer that said the menu itself offers promise, but doesn't deliver. All the dishes I've tried taste like someone boiled cheap noodles, tossed in a cup of sautéed meat and vegetables, and threw it on a plate. While the Mac N Cheese is decent, it's just noodles and cheese. Suggestion: my 7 year old nephew could run a conference on Mac N Cheese for Noodles & Co. employees and show them what's up. He's the connoisseur - which now that I mention it, I feel like N&Co. would be a good spot for kids. Kids aren't really into flavor, so this makes sense. The one trick I've found with places like Noodles & Company (or their Asian counterpart, Pei Wei) is that if you ask for an extra serving of vegetables, this improves the dish somewhat. The food is without passion, and you can taste it.

I'm sorry but I thought now a days u didn't even have to know simple math thought the register did it all. Good thing she was a nice kid & I come often but disappointed who ever does the hiring there.

Really good, friendly service, but Pei Wei has MUCH better pad thai.

This is a terrible Noodles & Co. store. I've eaten at others around the area that are quite competent. This one cannot turn out decent food. They make noodles *ahead* and hold them, and then dump hot sauce on top and hope for the best. There's no care taken, and sometimes the noodles are even gluey. The manager, when this was pointed out, was a sarcastic jerk. I will *never* return to this location.

Good place to quickly fill your belly with decent inexpensive food. The cute employees were a welcome relief from the bitter cold outside, and isn't that worth 4 stars in itself? Their iced tea, strangely, tasted particularly good.

It's edible, albeit rather bland. Has significant vegetarian options. We tried the Japanese noodles and the Thai option. The Japanese item was udon noodles in pretty much a flavorless sauce, and the Thai was better, and they were actually pretty accurate about giving it a two chile rating, making it the spiciest thing on the menu. I dumped a bunch of hot sauce on it before letting the burn kick in. If I were ever in the area again and starving, I might consider the Thai soup option, but I'm not jumping on a plane and flying 2000 miles just for that. (Actually, I'm not sure if there's anything I would do that for unless I moved out of California or somewhere else without a serious mix of different foods)

A good choice for healthy food at a reasonable price. Pleasant atmosphere, too.

Fine place to grab a quick dinner. They serve pasta bowls of all varieties and a few salads. It is a chain and its nothing fancy. But it gets the quick easy dinner in your belly when your in a pinch.

When: April 23 Why: Dinner - Carry- Out (dining alone) Menu: Whole Grain Tuscan Linguine with Parmesan-Crusted Chicken Let me sing the praises first, before I slap them down a notch or two. I was impressed with the vegetables in my entree. The broccoli florets were cooked perfectly , they had that fresh veggie snap. I loved the fact that both the red pepper and onion were cut vertically and not horizon ally. The button mushrooms were also not over cooked which I would have expected from a fast food noodle place. The Parmesan Crusted Chicken Breast was large in size, pre-sliced and as flavorful if not more as one you could get at the Pasta House. You can watch them prepare the food and it appeared to be a well oiled working team. Big bonus points that their carry out containers are #5 and can be recycled after washing. Now for the slap down. When I entered, I was greeted promptly (yes, that is a good thing), but they lost it after the greeting. I stated it was my first time and wanted to study the menu. When I stepped up to order, the young lady (rudely) interrupted me, wanting to know which size i wanted. I did not see on the sign that I needed to say size first. She obviously in her fast food career has not been taught how to up sell. Until I was leaving, did I realize I could have made it a trio. If I were at McDonald's or Hardees, you know they'd want to add fries or make it a value meal. Now for the biggest slap down. SODIUM. If you watch your sodium intake do not eat here. As I ate my entree, I knew there was too much sodium. When I checked their website, most dishes had either half or exceeded your daily recommended intake. I was going to give them 2 stars, but IBC Creme Soda (in a bottle) saved their ass.

Japanese pan noodles with braised beef. That is all you need to know.

The restaurant was clean, the staff was friendly, the food was hot and delicious. I had the Japanese pan noodles and it was perfect for my first dish. For a delicious and fairly quick meal, with a comfortable atmosphere and friendly staff. Eat here.

Good consistent quality chain if you are looking for a quick pasta dish for lunch or dinner. Reasonably prices and good portion sizes.

I am not a fan of chains, but Noodles & Company is one that I have to admit I am a regular at. Partly due to it's closeness to Target (which I am addicted to) and partly because, for a chain, it's GOOD. The atmosphere in here is quite pleasant for a fast food type place. And you can get beer and wine when you dine in. The staff is also quite friendly and the kitchen is open and always seem to be very clean. The food itself has never disappointed me. The mac and cheese is damn good (I've taken to adding onions and red peppers) and my new favorite, the Pasta Fresca, is delicious. My boyfriend loves the truffle mac, but my distaste of mushrooms keeps me away from that one. The menu isn't huge, but you can add things to each dish to mix it up. I would never claim this to be a culinary masterpiece, but for a quick bite when I'm out running errands, I'll take this over the neighboring McDonalds any day.

The hubby and I love the Pad Thai with shrimp and the Japanese Pan Noodles with beef. The people are always very friendly and willing to give you exactly what you want.
