Sad noodles. Stopped by on the way to do some shopping. Got the Japanese pan noodles. Ordered them many times before. This time was different. Barely warm. Almost no sauce. Not spicy; probably due to lack of sauce. Could not have been because they were busy. There was nobody in front of us. read more

Noodles and Company - Japanese pan noodles. - Noodles Near Me - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

Rip off!!! I paid $4.25 to add steak to classic noodles. Picture shows a healthy amount for $4.25 What I got was maybe 1 ounce of steak. In comparison I can get fajitas at chilis and get 10-15 times the amount Basically I got 1 strip of steak that is the size of one strip of fajitas steak. - 1 strip!! That and some scraps that maybe was another half. Totally rip! read more

How can you screw up noodles when your business is noodles? Absolutely awful. Cold, sticky, starchy noodles. The guarantee says they'll replace the order, but they won't return payment. I don't want any more of that cold, sticky, starch goo!! Never again! We ordered 4 entrees, and two potstickers to go. I would appreciate a cash refund without returning to the store in person with the receipt to get more "noodles" read more

This location had the best food from any Noodles & Co I've been to! Delicious sauce, cooked to perfection, tofu that actually tasted really good, and was a very satisfying and filling lunch. The customer service was also great, and they made our food fast :) Excellent staff 5/5 read more

Always been a fan of this location, after last night will never go back. Went in and purchased a couple entrees and two large bowls of soups. The two soups combined cost over $12, but the amount received wouldn't not have been enough to pour into a single average can of soup. Absolutely ridiculous to pay that much for a large soup and it literally only be a few ounces. I added a few pics for visual reference read more

The pasta is pretty good quality, the sauces are flavorful, the portions are good for the price you pay. Great selection to choose from and the variety of sides to choose from to make the perfect meal. read more

Noodles and Company - Small Penne Rosa with grilled chicken - Noodles Near Me - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

We recently ordered from here. I got the Chicken Alfredo. I've ordered Chicken Alfredo from numerous other restaurants in the past. As far as taste goes this by far is definitely at the bottom. Unfortunately, the sauce was just not good at all, I wasn't able to eat half of it. Corporate really needs to adjust this sauce recipe asap. I had my kids try it as well, they didn't like it either and they have also ordered Alfredo at different restaurants before. read more

I love Noodles and Company. Like, a lot. That's why I was surprised to find that, at least by our experience, this was an average Noodles & Company at best. It's a gigantic location located nearby the Lindale Mall, so it can definitely get plenty of foot traffic. This is the biggest Noodles & Company we've ever been to, actually, and we've probably been to almost all of them in Iowa. This one is large enough to warrant multiple stalls in the bathrooms, and it has a huge variety of seating including tables as well as bar stools and counters. In fact, this location is actually large enough to have their own conference room that's available for rental. Yay! The interior is actually pretty clean. The bathrooms show their wear and tear, but the restaurant area is pretty clean. It's easy to get around the place, and all of the seating seemed comfortable and up-to-date. One of the bigger complaints I had was that, for a gigantic restaurant like this, they only had a single Coke Freestyle machine. The place was pretty empty when I went, and I still had to wait behind 3 people to get a drink. I love the idea of the Freestyle drink machines, but they seriously slow down getting a drink (especially when all I want is water) because people take their time to choose a drink. For all of the capacity to hold people in this place, a second or third Freestyle would have really improved the experience. The other issue I had was that the service was pretty average. The cashier wasn't particularly friendly, but they weren't particularly rude either. They just seemed pretty "meh" about the entire situation. Employees who were cleaning tables were joking a bit too loudly about some of the negative aspects of their job. Not a huge downside to our experience, but it didn't add to it. The final issue was that the food was jsut average as well. I'm not sure if this location is always like this or not, but compared to the "usual" taste of my meal, it was kinda meh. There wasn't nearly enough cheese topping as well. My partner's meal didn't have the usual amount of seasoning on top, and it tasted a bit bland as well. It was definitely edible, but it's not the "pure awesomeness" that we've come to expect at Noodles & Company. Final thought: This is an okay location, and maybe we just caught them on an off night, but I'd be sad if this was the location nearest to me. I've just had so much better at other Noodles & Company restaurants. Still worth going if it's the only option in the area, but we were disappointed by our visit. read more

Just stopped by this place wanting a nice comfy meal before I get home. I ordered a regular chicken noodle soup. I got a small and the broth taste like absolute shit. Pure water. I don't know what they cooking back their but this place needs to be shut down immediately. Never coming back here. This place is sick. read more

Terrible wait times waiting 30 minutes for one basic entree is ridiculous. Don't come here if you want to waste your time.

I had the zucchini noodles with chicken and pesto sauce. Overall the dish tasted good. The person at the register initially got my order wrong and gave me regular pasta on my first order. Luckily after going up and explaining they corrected the order in a timely manner with the zucchini noodles I requested initially. read more

I ordered the Mac and cheese and added a Parmesan chicken filet. The cheese was non existent and the chicken was soggy and microwaved. Not a good experience. read more

I just ordered the shrimp scampi. The service was excellent! The flavor of the scampi had a hint of garlic and lemon but not overpowering. There were bits of tomato and spinach that added to the flavor. Best of all, there were several nice shrimp and melted cheese over the noodles. I will return to Noodles for the friendly service and great food! read more

Pad Thai was really good, but I wish they'd included more than one small wedge of lime and there didn't seem to be many peanuts. Still really good. The Penne Rosa however was extremely bland and a bit dry. I was only able to find 2 small spinach leaves and if there were any mushrooms, they must have been diced so small that they were impossible to see. I wouldn't recommend the Penne Rosa. read more

I've been to this restaurant many times, and have a had only one bad meal. The staff are very nice, and the restaurant is always pleasantly clean. I mostly prefer the pad Thai with chicken breast it's incredibly delicious. Would highly recommend this place if ur looking for some very inexpensive meals to fill you up. read more

There was so much wrong with ordering here I'm not even going to waist my time typing it all out. They messed up our order twice on a two entree order and then took forever to figure it out. This location didn't used to be like this. read more

In my last review I had confessed that I had yet to try their soup or salads. Well, I am happy to report this has changed and also happy to report they are AWESOME!! My fave is the Chili-Lime & Ginger Salad, Caesar or the Med Salad (the dressing is surprisingly spicy!!) Totally love their salads!!! You can add a side salad (Caesar, Green w/ choice of dressing or Cucumber Tomato for $1.00 to your meal...again, awesome). Soups: equally awesome. The Thai Curry is sort of a sweet not-too spicy broth with rice noodles, cabbage/few other veggies thrown in and this one is my fave. But the classic chicken noodle and tomato basil bisque are WAY good too. What surprised me was that I was expecting them to be fine...it's not a salad shop or a soup place, it's a noodle place! But their soup and salads are just as awesome as their noodle dishes. Big fan...big fan ;) read more

Sign on the door said restaurant was supposed to open at 4:00 p.m. & doors were still locked at 4:10 p.m. Called main office and they had to call the restaurant to get them to unlock the doors. They said they were busy prepping but would open doors. When I went to pay for the order the credit card machine wouldn't work and I had to scrounge up $36 cash out of my wallet to pay for my order. Then while waiting for the order noticed tables & floors were filthy with old food and garbage. Bathrooms were just as bad. You would think that they would clean the restaurant and the end of the shift the night before. On top of all of this staff looked as if we were bothering them. Worst experience!!! read more

Walked in to order food and order about 40 dollars worth of food. I then went to pay with cash and then was told they arent taking cash.. not only would it have been nice to no they aren't taking cash before I even walked in. But you know how dumb this sounds? Every customer touches the front door but your worker can't put a glove on for each cash transaction? The door is causing more harm... fucking ridiculous. read more

Uh. MAY. Zing. I have always loved Noodles. I used to hit it up whenever I went out of town. I was jazzed when I heard it was opening here. Their menu is varied but not sprawling, the presentation is slick, modern and fun, and hey, their taste in music is great. read more

Of all the times I have eaten at noodles and company I have never been so disrespected for being a person with disabilities .... But the manager tonight showed true bigotry and ignorance. His excuse in not Honoring my special needs? I argued my needs and refused to order my food from the back of his lobby. There was no need to deny my order from the front of his line. This from a young black man who should understand to work through issues and find common ground. Nope... Not him. He denied any discussion and find a possible middle ground. This business needs not my patronage nor that of anyone needing any special occomidations. I am going to look into Cedar Rapids requirements to picket this restaurant during their weekend hours to educate all customers that their practice of denying the handicapped and special needs of our redidents. read more

This used to be a very good quick place to get healthy-ish Asian food. In the last year, they've pulled all the good dishes off the menu and replaced it with garbage. Also noticed the food is not nearly as fresh as it used to be. Unfortunate, but this place has taken a nose dive. read more

Awesome noodles and other food as well. Appetizers are great. I had the Spicy Korean Beef Noodles and Korean BBQ meatballs. Which was awesome and it's filling. Going to try something new the next time. read more

I've only eaten here about three times in the several years Noodles & Co has been here. I'm not sure why, it's a cool food concept with fresh herbs, veggies and protein. I guess I'm just anti-chain, 'cuz if it where a local business I'd be all over it. They have a small conference room which can be reserved for meetings. I usually go for the Asian items like Pad Thai and Spicy Peanut. Lots of people go nuts over the mac & cheese but that's like ordering a PB&J or tater tot casserole at a restaurant. Are you just too lazy to make your own? Even though it sits on high traffic Collins Rd, you can't get there from here. There's an access road behind the Casey's on the corner but only if you know the password. read more

Horrible! Ordered Gluten Free noodles on my orders and got rice noodles. Should have stayed home and made dinner. What a waist of money.

Walked in and walked right back out. Twice now the place smells like a dirty wash cloth. Such a shame as they do have good food.

This location always messes up my to-go order. The sit in order is really good, contains all the spices etc. But the exact same to-go order was absolutely miserable, and this happens a lot! No spices, super bland, and a total waste of money. As a busy individual, I've started taking my lunch to go more often, so now Noodles and Co will be a place I will likely avoid. read more

I have been here a couple times. The first time I was here I tried the beef stroganoff and added meatballs which were actually great. Sad to say the second time I returned I found the service to be almost non existent I waited for 5 minutes at the register while the cooks just stared at me. I got the Wisconsin Mac and cheese this time and was very unpleased with the fact that it had almost no taste and was topped with what seemed to be un-melted bagged cheese from hy-vee or something. I guess it's just hit and miss with this place but I plan on returning to try more of what they have to offer. read more

Fresh, fast food. Vegetarian options. Classics like spaghetti and mac and cheese as well as great asian and spicy options. I like the asian noodles, relatively authentic (I lived in SE Asia for two years) but MUCH less oil than an asian restaurant. Cheap sides, too. Nice smaller size option. read more

Tried the Indonesian peanut. It was meh (considering that I come from that area). Not authentic at all but that's ok. I didn't expect it to be anyways. But it's good enough considering it's in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. It gets 5 stars for attempt, 2 star for authenticity and 3.5 star for taste. read more

My first time at a Noodles & Company was today.. My brother however it was his third time.. He decided to give it another try (third times a charm!?) and so he invited me along for lunch since I have never actually eaten from there.. The food was just meh.. for the most part.. My bro got stroganoff and it tasted strange and not at all like it is suppose to taste like.. Luckly they let him exchange it for something else.. but because of his previous experience there he just played it safe with mac n cheese.. .. This place is not great.. its kind of bland.. my pasta only tasted decent cause i added chicken.. with out it tho it was really bland.. I suppose this is probably not a place someone who knows how to cook and what good food tastes like should go .. It was like cafeteria food kind of.. My brother who was with me said the other times he was there it was much of the same deal.. bland or very lack luster.. extremely disappointing.. Which is sad cause we hear good things about Noodles and company.. So I am going to guess its just this particular one.. My suggestion is.. if you have other choices for places to eat pasta.. Go with your other choices.. Cause i dont know about their soups and sandwiches.. but the pasta isnt even on par with the flavor of what you could cook easily at home.. plus sides The place looked nice. has one of them new Coke machines that lets you choose flavors (raspberry lime hi-c is good) Decent portions staff seemed relatively easy to talk to.. might be good for family's with picky children since they have a create your own bowl thing.... read more

The flavor was good, but I had the zucchini noodles and they were not tender. Felt like I was eating raw zucchini. I will not order again, or even try again. read more

Really good tasting, quality food. Food is usually out pretty quickly. If I had to label the atmosphere, I would say that it was electric. They have pasta, as the name would suggest. Have yet to find company though. read more

I'll just say my last visit was less than stellar. Won't be darkening their door anytime again soon- I make better pasta at home!

So....last week a guy delivering produce to this store dropped a box of tomatoes on the ground. He looked around, and wiped a few of the tomatoes off on his pants before he put them back in the box. Does this restaurant wash their produce? Hope so. read more

Really good pad thai. I like the infinite combo soda machine and other noodle options and add ons. The only issue was the staff not being enthusiastic or welcoming when getting into the place. Buffalo chicken mac and cheese is really heavy and rich. Decent portions, panera price approx. read more

Great place! Wonderful food! Catered to gluten free noodle request and were very friendly!!

This place is good. My to go order took quite a while, but they were also busy when I went. Friendly staff, though.

I've been there several times and ordered the Penne Rosa with parmesan crusted chicken with a side of flat bread every time. It's that good. I have a shellfish allergy and they have precautions to ensure my order is cooked without contamination! I appreciate that. read more

First time eatinig here , i heard good things the food and when i finally git around to going there for lynch i thought it had a nice atmosphere and good flavors, but not worth the price read more
