Noodles & Company

Cool. A fast casual restaurant that’s also cheap. The way it should be.
First time here yesterday. I really like the concept. All the different flavor combos was nice. Not what I was expecting. I tried some Indonesian with Spicy Peanut Sauce noodle bowl. It was good All the veggies and noodles did seem fresh to me.
Service was quick after ordering.
Looking forward to trying some other noodle dishes here.

Excellent fusion of Asian Mediterranean and Anglo cuisines… I had tomato basil soup, awesome, with spicy peanut noodles. Needed the soup to out the fire out. Vegan available. Don’t worry they also have regular Mac and cheese.

Japanese pan noodles were very doughy and salty. Wife’s Thai hot pot was bland and didn’t have enough noodles. We went to get phở after this disappointing 30 dollar mistake. Daughters spaghetti kids meal was fine at least.

Friendly and very clean, got the Japanese noodles and steak stroganoff, both were OK. Not huge but not small portions either.
Nice variety of noodles.

I would give ten stars if I could. Athena wanted to know what was vegan friendly on the menu. I wish I got the young mans name that took our order. He was vegan himself and explained all the options.
Athena got the Japanese style noodles with tofu, I got some sort of spicy noodles with tofu. I was a good boy for Athena and ate vegan.
Both our meals were outstanding and we can’t wait to come back for more. I will even do tofu again.

I’m a big fan of noodles, so I gave this place a try for the first time. As soon as I walked in, I immediately noticed a variety of noodle dishes on the menu. I was impressed with the affordable prices. The service was friendly and clean enough.
As for the food, I was disappointed with how salty it was! It was so salty that I could only eat half of the Japanese Pan Noodles. I was surprised how little noodles were in the Thai Hot Pot. Finally, the Penne Rosa was a bit dry and could use more sauce.
The food is ok for a fast-​food restaurant, but I’ve had better.

A friend & I visited for lunch yesterday. We were actually planning on going to Chipotle but we decided to try something different when my friend spotted this place. I ordered pad Thai w sautéed shrimp, and she ordered a pasta entrée I think it was called Tuscan something? Our food was prepared quickly & brought to our table for us. My pad Thai was unfortunately «meh» at best — the sautéed shrimp were ok but the sauce on the pad Thai noodles was bordering on sickly sweet and the bits of scrambled egg mixed in were large, cold chunks that were rubbery & unappetizing. I wouldn’t order this again. When I asked my friend how her food was she said «ehhh…ya know.» Given this meh experience, I don’t think I’ll be back.

This east coast chain has finally arrived in California. It’s simple and casual. You pay at the counter just like Panera Bread or Corner Bakery.
Restaurant is new and very clean.
Got the spaghetti and meatballs one time and pasta two other times. Portions are fairly small. The price is average. Food is fine, not the best ever, but it’s not terrible either. I come here to get some «fast food» style Italian food.
I actually think this location is better than the ones I’ve tasted on the east coast.

Im a HUGE fan of anything with noodles, so I was so excited when I saw that this place opened – a place where I could unapologetically eat all the noodles I want!
I was excited to see that this place had a variety of noodle dishes from different parts of the world (Italian, Japanese, etc). Since «noodles» is in the title of the restaurant, I expected to have more options in the noodle category, but it was still very easy for me to make a selection, so on complaints! If you aren’t a huge fan of noodle, but your noodle-​obsessed friend is dragging you here– don’t worry! There are salad and sandwich options as well.
I ordered the Japanese Udon and I LOVED IT! It was recommended to me, and I would definitely recommend it to someone else. The service was pretty quick, the restaurant was very clean, and the service was nice. I definitely want to come back and try the mac n cheese. As a noodle fan, this place definitely has my approval!

Delicious!
Friendly and fast service paired with delicious food is always worth a 5 star review!
We ordered the Japanese pan noodles with marinated steak and pad Thai with tofu and they were both incredible!
Regular sized bowls were perfect to share.
Can’t wait to come back and try something else– maybe the beef stroganoff the table next to us was raving about!

So excited to finally have a Noodles and Company near me! They have a variety of noodle bowls you can pick from depending on your mood. You can opt to add meat or tofu to your bowl as well. I am a big fan of the Bangkok Curry noodle bowl with chicken. The mac and cheese is pretty good as well. Service is always friendly and our food comes out quickly.
If you join their eclub — they often send out buy one, get one free coupons and my husband is always happy when we get two regular sized bowls for $ 8!

Not being a lover of noodles or being a fan of eating noodles while dining out as it is the easiest thing to make at home, Noodles & Co offers more than just noodles and even their noodle dishes are unique and worth coming in for!
The guys had the mac n cheese, the stroganoff and the cheesesteak sandwich really enjoyed all three.
Descent portions, but the food is filling so it is plenty and a great value.
I had the chinese chop salad as well as the med sandwich and an order of potstickers for the table.
All around everything was hot and made fresh to order, i would get any of these items again, though I did prefer the salad and noodle dishes over the sandwiches.
Décor is modern and simple, very clean, service great and the food comes out quickly.
Worth returning.

I don’t often feel the need to review restaurants but I could not pass on the opportunity to review this small treasure of an eating establishment.
I first had the opportunity to test out the waters on my recent trip to Kansas City. I had heard about Noodles & Company from friends and fellow travelers, yet never had the opportunity to eat there until that trip. I was blown away. Not only is the selection diverse, but the quality of every dish is on par with larger, full table service establishments. Not only was my Tuscan Fresca with whole wheat noodles hot and hearty, but adding the shrimp only served to bring out the flavor of the dish threefold. Later, when I came back and tried the Thai hot pot, this time adding the amazing pork at the helpful suggestion of the gal running the register that day. Sublime. That was the only word for it.
I am so glad to see a branch open up ten miles from my work. There is so much more of the menu I’m eager to sample. I’m also looking forward to the combinations that are awaiting for me of the dishes I’ve already tried. Today I was fortunate to try the Wisconsin Mac n’ Cheese with oven-​baked meatballs. However, how much different would it have been with chicken breast or shrimp? Or maybe trying the stroganoff with some of the pork tossed on? Or maybe make my pad thai with some wacky meatballs? I’m not saying every combo is going to blow through the roof off your taste buds, but they are there for the sampling.
Yes, Noodles & Company is a fast casual restaurant in the vein of Chipotle or Rubio’s. Yet if you haven’t tried it before, you’re in for a treat. I’ve only been there three times, but it’s quickly become my new go-​to place for mixing things up. Where else can Asian, Italian, German, and American dishes reside side-​by-​side so equally?
Go see for yourself what twenty years of doing quick, cheap, and delicious noodles for everyday people right tastes like.

The customer service and the ambiance here are great. The food, though, is okay. The noodle quality and texture are so-​so. Not sure how to describe it but it doesn’t seem easy to digest with the way they cook the noodles. Personally I want the noodle to be al dente but theirs just seems. stale in a way, or bland, at least. Their sauces can be watery at times too.
I’m glad they have a variety of noodles from all over the world, from American, to Italian, to Asian! I have tried Wisconsin Mac & Cheese, Bangkok Curry, Indonesian Peanut Sauté, and Pesto Cavatappi.
All are unique and delicious, but more flavor/​thicker sauce and fresh al dente noodle texture would make these dishes perfect! Otherwise I would make it myself or go to specific ethnic restaurants for these dishes. I will say though, that if you add their Naturally Raised Pork or Grilled Chicken Breast into the dishes, they will be excellent choices. I am impressed that the chicken stayed moist even though it was grilled.

We decided to try this out, since it was newer to our area. We originally thought it was more of a Phở restaurant, but it is not.
We are in love. I had the steak stroganoff and my husband had the pad Thai. We both also got side Caesar salads and the flatbread for an appetizers.
The stroganoff was delicious. The noodles were perfectly cooked, not oily or dry. The steak was tender. My husband says the sauce just made the dish. Best stroganoff I have ever had.
Husband devoured the pad Thai, which he has never had before. He loved the citrus flavor. It had a great taste to it. Again noodles were perfect. He added shrimp to his bowl.
The Caesar salad was pretty basic but still good. The flatbread was a good appetizer, but you only get like 4 pieces.
Our whole tab was 28 bucks. So we were super happy and plan to bring the kids with us next time.

I went here with such high hopes! Concept receives an A+! American Noodles, Asian Noodles, Italian Noodles, sandwiches, soups, cookies — perfect menu!
The first thing that happened is our food came out separately. Meaning the Thai Hot Pot came first. Way first. Like 3 minutes before my plate of Spaghetti. Also, it looked nothing like the picture. It was not very appetizing. And it was cold. There wasn’t enough broth. In fact, the server who brought even asked if there was broth in there. There was, just not very much. We took it back up to the counter to have them remake it.
After a few minutes, my spaghetti arrived. Again, did not look like the picture. The meatballs were burnt. The pasta looked thin and a little overcooked as well. It tasted OK, but that’s it. Just OK. No special seasoning to make it pop. In a weird way, the burnt part of the meatballs actually gave it some taste, which I didn’t mind. However, the garlic cheese bread was delish! The 3 piece is a perfect combo with any dish.
When the Thai Hot Pot finally arrived, it looked a TON better. End result? Tasted like an American place trying to make Thai food.
Overall, we might actually come back a little later to give them another chance. I now they are new, and sometimes it takes a while to get everything right. I did see the Mac and Cheese on another table and it looked really good.

For a fast food that selling Noodles n such, I have found this place to be very DELICIOUS! Having seen what this space was once more, I find that they have done to the inside is pretty cool. The seating is much different and gives it (to me at least) an open feeling.
There is so many different noodle choices to chose from and i had decided to go to with the Beef stroganoff. AMAZING! My companions got the Pad Thai and the Japanese Pan Fried Noodles, which I did get the opportunity to try and found to be very delicious as well.
With all the different choices, I have a feeling that I will be coming back here. Especially since they have the most awesome soda machine where you have an endless choices on what sodas you can have (like a mix and match can’t remember what they call it)
All three of us were very satisfied with our visit there.

I am glad I am not the only one, execpting this place to be more Noodle-​ly. Instead it has a variety of fresh bites from pasta, salads, sandwiches and ect from around the globe with Asian flaire, Italian tastes and good old Wisconsin Mac and Cheese. It is an excellent addition to the area catering to those who want something fresh and healthy without breaking the bank.
Located in The Village of Orange next door to Panera Bread. With current construction to the outdated mall, parking becomes a headache.
Order, pay and wait. That is the concept. For take out, they package everything perfectly and walk it over to you. Service is friendly. Everything on the menu can be modified to appeal to one’s taste.
Japanese pan noodles with steak was full of spice and a packed full of flavor. I tweaked their recipe and had them omit the broccoli and carrots to cater to the hubsters palate. He said the Odon style noodles were really good. And he was right. I liked his food more than mine. If your a true carnivore be sure to double meat.
The Buttered noodles with crusted parmesan chicken were also good. The noodles were cooked perfectly and were covered in a buttery sauce, seasonings and a little cheese. My only complaint was, the noodles were a little oily and the chicken a little on the dry side. This meal would of been carb overload if paired with their $ 2.99 garlic bread. Again double meat.
The solo self serve soda machine is not intended for people with half a brain. You’d think this machine came from another world because nobody seemed to know how to operate it. The mindless thirsty customers each forever to decide what to drink. It cant be that hard with 200 choices. And all I wanted was water.
I am a fan and look forward to trying the Msc snd Cheese. Just wish it had more meat.

For some reason, I thought this was going to be a plethora of noodle dishes from Asia & Pacific similar to Noodle World in SGV. Boy was I wrong. Nonetheless, we gave it a try…
N&C does indeed have a wide variety of noodle dishes ranging from Asian to Italian. You start by choosing your entrée, size, then meaty (or non-​meaty) topping. The portions are plentiful, for me at least, for the price you pay.
I ordered the Penne Rosa w chicken and it was indeed very tasty. I especially like that the sauce wasn’t too salty, something common in chain restaurants like Olive Garden.
I would have liked to see a ‘create your own’ option where you can choose your sauce and extra ingredients as well. I think having this option would greatly increase the variety of noodle dishes they can offer.

Ordered and paid online, pick up was a breeze.
He ordered a small Japanese Pan Noodles with Grilled Chicken, and a side Caesar Salad. I had a regular sized Buttered Noodles with Parmesan Crusted Chicken and Oven Roasted Meatballs. The total for dinner was $ 20.
His food was good, but the small is SMALL. Super small. He was glad he got a salad too, cause the small bowl of noodles would not have been enough for him. I liked the flavor of his Japanese Pan Noodles. I didn’t try his chicken or salad, he said they were good though.
My food… way too salty! First off, the noodles in mine were slightly gummy. The Italian Butter sauce was good, but pretty salty. The chicken had great flavor, but again, overly salty. The meatballs were so salty I couldn’t eat them. I didn’t like the texture of them either.
I will try this place again, I have heard from a friend the Mac and Cheese is good, and some of their other items sound tasty. I’m glad there is a new place nearby to eat at, hopefully they tone it down on the salt next time!
