Noodles and Company is located on Meridian Boulevard amongst hotels, apartments and a few other…read moreeateries and shops in Franklin. If you are unfamiliar with this chain, think Chipotle for pasta, but it is not made in front of you. They have a bit of prepared pastas, but you can also create your own. Noodles and Company is a quick serve spot that serves purpose when the regular rotation of week night dinners runs a bit stale. The location itself needs some TLC as it is worn from ripped and torn seating, cabinet doors falling off of the drink station, stained ceiling tiles and dirty floors. The place needs some conditional love. Cleanliness was decent throughout with the exception of filthy entry windows and doors. Food wise I went with the Pesto Cavatappi and a side of garlic bread to go. Portions could be a bit larger, but that is why I added the garlic cheese bread. Pasta's are priced as is then there is an additional charge for protein. Your average pasta with protein will run you around $12. I enjoyed the pesto pasta and the chicken was lightly breaded and portioned well for the pasta. The garlic bread was a bit soggy and the cheese came off with one bite, and not in the cool "cheese pull" kind of way. Service was "meh". They were on their phones watching videos loudly while customers waited to be noticed at the counter. Overall, Noodles and Company is just okay. Definitely has potential to be added to a quick and easy weeknight dinner rotation, but they need to make a few adjustments.

It's one of those places where everything is packed with flavor and every dish feels a little special. The Mi cucumber is absolutely to die for--especially when you put it on top of the dumplings. Trust me on that combo! The K-Pop chicken is AMAZING and a must-order every time. The arancini has such a flavorful and unique twist that really stands out. The spring roll was delicious too, full of flavor with just the right amount of spice. And the tacos... you cannot skip them. The beef tacos are incredible, and the cauliflower tacos are just as good. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything here. On top of the fantastic food, the service is always great--friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Highly recommend!! Be sure to make a reservation!

I did a pick-up order, so I'll have to come back and try the hotpot, but our experience with the two dishes we ordered was good. Ordered: 1. Snow pea tips ($21.99) - a classic chinese restaurant dish that they did well; would order again. 2. Sour cabbage fish ($28.99) - the portion is huge (you get what you pay for ~$30), but satisfying. The fish fillets are incredibly tender. The pickled cabbage gives it a nice sour flavor to round everything out, and the soup comes with noodles which was a nice surprise. Food was ready in 40 minutes on a Friday evening, so it's a good idea to plan your order ahead of time.

At the conclusion of our trip to Nashville, Gatlinburg, and Pigeon Forge, we were in the mood for…read moresomething that wasn't fried, bbq, pizza, or pasta; so we found Chang Hong Spicy Hot Pot about half an hour away from BNA airport. This fit our time budget just fine as we had about 3.5 hours before our flight departs. This location is what you would expect from an ordinary hot pot restaurant with simple seating, a custom bar to choose the items you want, and a small sauce station. My lovely lady and I decided to go with the custom hot pot option where you grab a large bowl, go to the custom bar and choose the items that you want them to cook in your hot pot. They weigh all the stuff together and charge $14.99 per pound. We originally choose the House Spicy broth, but my beautiful partner asked the lady how spicy was the broth, and she did say it was actually spicy; so she asked them to downgrade my broth to the Sour and Spicy broth, as it was more mild. I'm so glad she did, as my broth still seemed quite spicy, especially the red chili oil floating at the top. I'm not sure how she was able to deal with the House Spicy level, but she was able to power through it. The sauce station was quite limited, without any sweet options to mix with the spicy oil and scallions. Overall, this place is ok for Tennessee. I feel like we are spoiled coming from the Los Angeles area where we have access to so many options with super fresh ingredients.

The ramen itself had good-quality ingredients and noodles, and the pork was lean and nicely cooked. However, the biggest letdown was the broth. We ordered the Char Siu Ramen, assuming their most popular option would shine, but the broth was surprisingly bland - almost like lightly flavored chicken water. We asked for added spice/flavor, which helped somewhat, but it still didn't fully come together. That said, the staff was incredibly attentive and kind, which made the experience better overall. There are so many ramen options on the menu that we plan to return and try a different bowl and update our review.

It was loaded with chicken and veggies too. The Beef Bao Bun was flavorful. The meat on the Bao bun was great. Vui's Bowl was also really good. My kids loved the Kids Rice Bowl. The kids' meals are large enough for my daughters to share. Vui's will be on my list when I'm looking for a healthy meal or a nice brothy soup.

Everything tasted fresh, no complaints there. However, I had an issue with the portion size to price ratio. My fiancé and I both ordered the regular sized pho. They have a smaller size and a regular size and we 100% ordered regular size. Now, I don't know if something got mixed up, but assuming I got the correct order, a regular size portion is a shallow takeout container with noodles and the toppings and 16oz of broth. That amount of broth is enough to barely cover everything in the already shallow bowl. Also, the bao bun, while super tasty, cost $4.25 and we got one piece of pork belly on it which I was a little sad about! The coconut pudding, also super tasty, was pretty small too and cost $3.00. However, it is a filling dessert so I can understand that pricing and portion sizes. Again, overall this place is good, but I think I've just been a bit more spoiled with other Pho spots I've been to. I've had a lot of places give me a lot more bang for my buck.

The pork bao buns were soft and while the salt and pepper ribs packed a delicious, savory punch. The charcoal bun was interesting, with a rich, creamy yolk filling(it wasn't bad) but not one of my favorites. The lamb skewers were decent, but didn't stand out as much compared to some of the other dishes. On the sweeter side, the pumpkin cake had a nice hint of pumpkin without being overpowering. The crispy squid, which was perfectly cooked, and the stir-fried garlic pea shoots were fresh and full of flavor. The red bean curd spare ribs had a good fried texture, but were a bit bland compared to the rest of the menu. The stir-fried rice noodles was another great addition--especially appreciated as a gluten-free option especially since we had someone with celiac along with GF soy sauce. I do wish they had a few more classic dim sum options like turnip cake and har gow, but even with that, the meal was still delicious.

The attached grocery section is a huge plus if you're looking for Asian ingredients; they have a solid selection that's hard to find elsewhere in Nashville. A couple of things to keep in mind: the place gets packed, and service can be slow at times--waiting for water, getting your order taken, and receiving food might take a while. I suspect it's because they run with a small staff, so patience is key.
