So glad this Noodles location is back open since it was closed for so long during COVID! Located right on Kirkwood, it's the perfect place to stop for dinner after classes. Staff is friendly and facility is much larger than it looks on the outside. My penne Rosa didn't really have all the ingredients I was expecting, with only 2 pieces of spinach. I think there's some room for improvement here! Otherwise, noodles is always my choice for a quick bite!
Man, after a workout...I came to get some pasta. This was great! I ordered via app and everything worked well. Got the notification the food was ready and got it as I went in. So service was great. Staff always tries to greet a person coming to the counter. The food was warm and delicious, just wish there was some type of way you could at spinach or lettuce (some type of greens instead of just all pasta). Inside is spacious as well.
I visited Noodles and Company earlier this week, in response to which I gave my experience two stars. After getting a bit more time to think about it, I feel three stars is a more accurate rating. In summary, I am disappointed that the price of Noodles & Company's items have increased rather noticeably. While the $10 bowl of Spicy Korean Beef Noodles left me full, I don't think that value is exceptional compared to the rest of the market. It also isn't my favorite bowl I've had from Noodles food-wise. I more highly recommend the Japanese Pan Noodles. Some thicker noodles would've brought it all together nicer. I also found the sauce a bit one-dimensional, tangy but lacking depth. Prices are bloated across the board right now, however I am not thrilled with the value I got. The most annoying pricing decision is $2.95 for a Spindrift, which can otherwise be acquired for little over $1 each in multi packs off the Spindrift website. That price I find confusing. The service was also a mixed bag. The employee with whom I interacted was friendly and was courteous enough to bring my mask that I'd dropped back to me. Speaking of, requiring masks when not eating is certainly appreciated. However, they had to close early, attributing this to a massive number of call-ins (see the letter management posted). I find it unusual that I was asked to leave, instead of just allowing me to eat at a table during the restaurant's hours. In fairness, the employee offered the table to me until 4 PM. I appreciate the gesture, but I still found the whole situation bizarre. It was 3:53 PM or so, meaning I could've finished my meal but I would have had to scarf it. While the circumstances causing this visit's shortcomings are understandable, I also can't recommend this location based on this visit. As someone with relatively limited money, I'm inclined to more highly recommend places with better value for money, better overall food quality and a more consistent in restaurant dining experience.
visited for some quick lunch and it was overall pretty tasty. the service was actually quick and the workers were nice. ambiance was expected of a noodles and co (but bathroom was extremely questionable)
If I could give this place ten stars, I would. I wanted something light for dinner and pasta is pretty versatile. There must be something I could order without giving them a call, right? I wasn't going to delude myself I could get something like the Pad Thai, but I was hoping I wouldn't be stuck with the dreaded salad. I walked in, glanced at the wall-length, colorful menu of their offerings, and decided to go straight to the counter to ask in person what I could and could not eat (I'm vegetarian, no onion or garlic in any form). The first person was really helpful; she knew what contained onion and went to the back to see about the garlic. Then the manager got involved and he read through the ingredients of the sauces they use... Multiple times, after we went through what was essentially the entire menu. We finally came to the conclusion that all of their items including their sauces/dressings are pretty much off limits. My saving grace? The Mac and Cheese. I personally love macaroni and cheese. The problem was I was trying to have a light dinner and cheese sauce doesn't really fit the bill. However, I found out I could customize my Mac and Cheese with veggies so I could sort of squeeze myself into the box of Healthy Dinners that I demanded I fit into on this trip. And so I got my pick of veggies to add in: spinach, mushrooms, and red bell peppers. There was more but I didn't want to be greedy. Why? The entire time I was feeling bad that they had to repeatedly run to the back to see what fit my needs, he also felt bad because they pride themselves on how versatile with fitting dietary restrictions/allergies they were supposed to be and there I was, stuck with the Mac and Cheese. As such, I ended up getting a regular bowl of the Mac and Cheese plus the additions at the price of a small bowl... And only the small bowl. I got the extra veggies on the house. And so here is Exhibit A of outstanding, off the charts customer service. On top of that, the macaroni pasta was perfectly cooked (not mushy or too soft) and the sauce was light and perfectly seasoned. It also didn't drown my pasta. Soupy Mac and Cheese is a no-no in my book. I also loved the shredded cheese they topped it with. Yes, I'm a sucker for cheese. The sautéed veggies peeking out from under the melting cheese and from in between the pasta just made it all the better. It was a pretty large bowl (portions are awesome) so I ate half and took the other half home. And I didn't feel all fatty from the carbs and cheese I just stuffed myself with (I'm guessing the 15 minute walk also helped)! Excellent service, great food and portions, clean tables, and nice atmosphere! I didn't try out the restroom so I can't really comment on that. They also have this cool all-in-one drink and ice dispensing machine that is operated via touchscreen! If I get the chance to visit them again, I would! I hope they'll charge me properly the next time so I don't feel so bad. :)
3/23/18 We were out running errands and needed to grab a quick bite. We stopped in and ordered Truffle Mac & Cheese and Pad Thai. We paid for our order, got our table number and went to grab a seat. The restaurant was pretty empty, but several of the tables were dirty. When our food arrived, I asked where we could get forks to eat with, because there were none in the area by the drink station. The kid who delivered our food said they were out of metal forks! I looked at him all confused and said "So, how do we eat this?" and he finally answered that he could try to find some plastic forks. Once he got us forks, we began eating. My wife said she thought he Pad Thai was just ok, and while my Mac and Cheese was alright overall, it surely didn't taste like truffle. I think they just threw a couple of regular mushrooms in it and decided to call it truffle. Not cool, Noodles and Company, not cool. I will say that the portion sizes were pretty large. What they lack in taste I guess they try to make up for in size. While we ate, I also heard several other people having to ask for forks and going through the same awkward exchange I did. If you know you're out of metal forks, put out the plastic ones so people don't have to basically beg for a utensil to be able to eat their meal!
Great food and affordable prices! Noodle's & Co. is a great lunchtime destination. The restaurant is conveniently located near the sample gates and the new online ordering makes ordering easy. I always get the Pena Rosa w/ meatballs. However, there are a lot of options and you can mix and match meats to make the perfect meal.
This is hands down the worst noodles and co ive ever been to. The times I've been here have all been problematic, whether it be a 50 min wait or disgusting food, I can assure you I will not be coming back. My noodles are practically mush they are so over cooked and it is inedible. Not only that but they claim they give u double chicken(3.5 each) but there is only a normal amount of chicken. Most noodles and companies give u the second chicken on the side but this location does not. Also the staff always seems cold and careless.
Quick, pretty good Mac N Cheese. Quality fast-casual selection of all different variations of pasta. Definitely the move for a quick bite. Caution:DO NOT get the chicken, it will ruin the Mac N Cheese Kid-friendly, order online app, also at a historical Bloomington location. Great for what it is. Quality- 8/10 Atmosphere- 8/10 Creativity- 8.5/10 -A&R
The price is a notch above fast food, but the quality is *two* notches better. I love this fast casual restaurant. This is the third location I have visited. I anxiously await for location to open in my hometown. I received very friendly service. I also enjoyed the layout of the dining area with seating to suit those looking to be social or those wanting a little more privacy. There is also covered, outdoor seating.
I love noodles and Co. It is a great place to get a lot of food for a good deal and a some good protein as well. My go to here is the buffalo chicken ranch Mac and cheese. The service here is quick as there are often plenty of people inside the store and with online orders. For the ambiance they often can have promotions to add their atmosphere like bogo or in store decorations read more

Thank you, Mike, for sharing your experience! We're happy you enjoy…
I usually go to the Noodles and Co near College Mall and mostly like it well enough, so I figured I'd give this one a try too since it's conveniently near campus. I got the basil pesto cavatappi here and it was just okay. The pasta seemed freshly cooked but the pesto sauce was just unremarkable. I got the small size as part of the duo with a side salad, and the small size is pretty large for a "small". The garden salad was good and fresh. This is in line with my food experience at the other location - there are a few dishes I've tried that have made me say "Oh, this is actually pretty good," but they're mostly just fine. I mostly go if I just want something fast that feels like a real meal and not fast food slop. I think I like the other location a lot better because the service is way friendlier (just based on this visit) and they have real plates and silverware when you dine in. This location bags everything to go even if you tell them you want to dine in, and the staff came across as very unenthusiastic. read more

Very expensive food -- you order at the counter, yet the 5,59$ pad thai noodles come down to 10,63 after you add shrimp (which they've raised the price to 3,34, even though the menu still says 2,59) and a side soup or salad for a dollar, plus the tax. (That's even without the drink!) Portions are OK, but not particularly big. Taste is quite bland. If you try to eat outside, you'll be bothered by lots of bees, plus there is also a rubbish can right next to the seating area. Also, they don't have napkins anywhere (whether tables, condiments area or the order counter) -- they bring your silverware in one, but then they come take it all off your table after you're done with food, and you are left completely napkinless! read more

If you have a gluten allergy, they have the gf-fusili...but TELL them you have an allergy. Otherwise they will use the same pans they make ALL their pasta. read more
