Noodles & Company

I just tired pad thai today. The food tastes good, but the portion seems to be small to me.

The second time that they didn’t give me all of the food that I paid for and the manager didn’t care! Go to Noodles over on the 29^th street mall, they are a lot friendlier and don’t forget to gives you items.

Yuck. We live about 2 blocks from here and decided to try this today. It was not a good experience. Food was very mediocre (at best) and the dining experience was disgusting (dirty dishes). I cannot believe how many people actually dine here? That’s what brought us in to try it… the patio was packed. Never again…

It’s interesting that as a food lover, familiar restaurants give you the sense of being home, noodle company is one of them. I moved to Boulder from Durham a month ago and felt a little intimidated because of living in a strange place with no one I know, then I saw noodle company and smash burgers and even millennium hotel which located just outside of my apt in Durham!
It served noodles of different countries, I guess it’s because of the rich sauces they use the calories of each bowl is surprisingly high! but luckily their taste is not bad, I’ve tried Malaysia peanut noodle and Pai Thai, I wanted to try Beef stroganoff noodle but the calories is just SO high that I don’t have the courage to order even after a hike!

Extremely slow service. I was standing at the counter and a guy with a beard and a girl with a nose hoop were to busy texting to notice that I was there. Finally took my order. Order came out and an item was missing. Took it back up and the guy said he didn’t hear me order the missing item…
Overall service was not the best. I feel like they could work on there customer service.

Decent for fast food. Has a good lunch crowd. I don’t usually go out for noodles or a place that bills itself specializing in noodles since that’s what I make at home when I’m feeling lazy or I have no idea what to make. Another draw for me is that the calories are posted. I’m on a diet right now so that’s very helpful. I was also drawn to here as I was washing a comforter at the laundromat and needed a quick lunch.
The food was ok. Not bad but nothing to rave about. The ingredients seemed fresh. I had a thai soup which was too sweet and a chicken mediterranean wrap. So I kind of gag thru the soup then open up my wrap. Everything seems ok except, there are large long stems of cilantro. like the leaves and stem and all. Like they just bought it at King Soopers, washed the bunch, and threw them on the wrap. And there was A TON of this cilantro. At first, I thought why not? then after a few bites of this cilantro infested wrap I had enough. I took it off and that was that. I actually like cilantro but long stems in a wrap is kind of a big no. And cilantro is not something I associate with when I think of «mediterranean». I think of basil or even oregano. It was so weird. And whatever happened to prepping the cilantro? Like chopping it and sprinkling on top? Really what this wrap needed was a sprinkle of dried oregano and it would have been just fine.
I suppose my other issue was that I went to a noodle place and ordered a wrap. Was it like going to a Thai restaurant and ordering a burger? Maybe.

There are plenty of empty tables when I go, but the tables are never cleared off. In fact, one time I went there none of the empty tables were. When I asked the worker if she could clear off the table I was going to sit at, she did but rolled her eyes at me. The service I have experienced here has been poor. It seems as if the workers really hate their jobs. However, the food is good, and when the tables are cleared off it’s a good experience, hence why I gave it two stars instead of one.

I was there for the first and ordered a pad Thai. The plate it was server in was dirty on the sides and the food had a bad smell and taste. I re-​ordered with some specifications but did not get what I asked for. This branch is terrible

I have been here quite a few times for take-​out food, and it’s fast and easy. Barely have to wait there three to five minutes to get my food. I went in today about 20 minutes before closing, and one of the workers there handed out some free rice krispy treats and cookies. The staff is hard working and super friendly, I’ve never had a bad experience here! Will definitely be back here for more!

I haven’t been to Noodles for a long time. When they were new, we went a lot and got burned out because of the limited menu. The new items with more interesting ingredients pepped up the menu. We both had the truffle mac and cheese with mushrooms and though a little salty, we both enjoyed it.
This location is also new and that helped. It’s more comfortable, fresher, cleaner. The parking is easier too. Just a better shopping center than the previous spot down Baseline a couple of blocks. And an all around better experience. I am willing to go back and try something else.

Noodles is a definite staple during baseball season. In our house, Mom (me) is both coach and chef, and it’s nearly impossible to work all day, coach baseball until 7:30 AND put a meal on the table before kiddo’s 8:30 bedtime. Enter Noodles.
The food is solid and consistent, with generally fresh ingredients. Service is excellent and the restaurant always clean. Yes, it’s fast food, so certainly not worthy of 5 stars in my book, but Noodles hits its mark when this food-​loving family is pressed for time. The only gripes I ever have are with portion size (way to little for the small size) and their tendency to skimp on the veggies.

I don’t really write reviews, but yeah. :) Lindsey the cashier is probably the most pleasant person ever. thanks to her i will be returning over and over again.

The manager, I think Lorrna was her nae, Lorna think shes so pretty, but thats not an excuse to be such a mean person.

It’s not like me to review a chain but I need to comment on how awesome the manager is; I wish I remembered her name. Every time I’m in there for lunch the manager is notably friendly and fast. Today they were slammed, I guess cold weather brings everyone in. There were only four people working, one on a register, two in the kitchen and the manager who was serving, bagging to-​go orders, making all the salads and plating the soups. She was moving at lightening speed and smiling the whole time.
Kudos.

This location is very clean and well staffed. I did have a problem with the one-​way exit door, but that just keeps everyone safe!
I love that Noodles is always very proper and even if a location is going through the lunch hour in a business park rush hour, they still hold their cool.
I’m a sucker for the chicken noodle, flat bread, and yummy drinks. I keep on coming back to Noodles as the food and locations are consistent and well kept.

I think Noodles and Company is D-​licious. A couple of friends made the recommendation since it is a local Colorado chain, and I decided to give it a try. I know that I really like a place when I decide to go back in the same week. They offer noodle dishes broken into three categories– American, Asian, and Italian. The first time I tried the Thai Curry Soup. It was so flavorful, fresh and not too heavy the way noodles can be, but still filling. The price is great too because you can have a full meal for about $ 6 – 8, and it’s quick. You also have the option to add tofu, chicken, steak or shrimp to any of the dishes. Lots of vegetarian dishes which is a definite plus.
The second time I went I tried the Indonesian Peanut Sauté. It had a good amount a vegetables and also was a thumbs up. The cashier said a lot of people order the Japanese Pan Noodles, that’s what I’ll try next time. I also tried the Pasta Fresca, but something about the Asian dishes taste better to me. They have another dish that seems so intriguing– the Truffle Mac and Cheese. I don’t really do dairy but it sounds so good I may have to make an exception next time. I think no matter what your preference you are bound to find something you like here and leave satisfied.

Yikes. The verbally angry manager person here makes me avoid this place.
I’ve never been to a Noodles & Company before, and decided to try this new place in the Basemar marketplace (next to Whole Foods). This was about 12:45, somewhat after the lunch rush and the place was perhaps half full.
I ordered the meatball sandwich combo, and the food was tasty. However, as I was eating, a male manager came out into the dining room with an associate and very loudly and pissed off said «Look at all the singles sitting on the 4-​tops! There’s lots of 2-​seaters available and they sit there?»
Hunh? There were perhaps 3 individuals sitting on those tables meant for four, but it really wasn’t jam-​packed. What the heck was his problem, and why would anyone verbalize such a statement in front of customers?
There are too many places to eat in Boulder to have to put up with this jackassery, so I take my business elsewhere.

I like the concept and whoever wrote the copy on the menu is really talented. They make the food sound a whole lot more tasty than it actually turns out to be.
Recently dinner time crept up a little too quickly and I was scrounging around in the local plaza for something to feed the children. Tasty food writing, I could not resist. So, we got the large square (meant to feed four) of the Mushroom Stroganoff. Somewhat bland, but the kids were pretty into it, and I was okay at first until I realized that the mushrooms were canned. Gross. Canned mushrooms turn me off every time. We also ordered the chopped Chinese salad. Basically a mixed green salad with a couple of shreds of red cabbage and a smattering of crispy noodles. As far as I could discern, no salad dressing, and some sad little strips of beaten down chicken. DISAPPOINTING!
So, I know that this is fast food, but I’m comparing it to the Panera Breads out there and really, no cigar, Noodles, no cigar. Good customer service though, and fast, very fast.

A little disappointed…
Why bother advertising that you have GF items if you’re not going to cook them separately, that means that it’s not GF. I found it interesting that even though I asked to see the «food allergy» menu that wasn’t enough information to prompt them that I had a food allergy, and then I found a macaroni noodle in my GF Pad Thai noodles. When I pointed this out I was informed that I hadn’t explicitly informed them that I had an allergy. That’s quite an excuse. Who else orders from the food allergy menu???

This review can be used for basically any Noodles. I have never been dissapointed at any of them.
Noodles is fast food. As Fishbits said for fast food it’s healthy (well relatively), it’s consistent and it’s good. I have never been dissapointed with my stroganoff, my buttered noodles or my Penne Rosa. I think the Penne Rosa may be the best item on their menu.
Also, considering the portions and service the price isn’t bad either.
