Noodles & Company

Wify wanted noodles so we went noodling at this fusion noodlelary!!! The ingredients are GMO free & hv lots of choices between Asian flavors as well as Italian. Also available on the menu is Mac & Cheese… just saying :)
We ordered Japanese Pan Noodles, Tomato Basil Bisque, Bangkok Curry w/​Chicken Breast and Thai Curry Soup for dinner. Overall, the flavors were ok, nothing extraordinary. For wify, her food was a bit too sweet but still flavorful. The Japanese Pan Noodle was pretty good & worth a try if u r here. Overall decent food, good service.

I rate this restaurant as 0 out of 10
I have placed order for whole grain tuscan without meat & for two time they did the same mistake by adding meat. Wasted my time & tasteless food

Indonesian noodle was super dry. Bangkok curry had nothing like «curry» taste in it.
this is my 3^rd time and every single time, i regret eating here. tomato soup was good, tho.

The noodles/​pasta is always cooked quite well and they find a good density/​preparedness depending on the type of dish or noodle which is great since the menu has a wide variety. The Italian selections are great and the Asian options span a few different regional/​cultural options.
The Vernon Hills location is quite new and attractive and I definitely enjoy the new Coke machine with countless options.
My favorite dish is the Pad Thai which has a delicious freshness from the fresh cilantro.

A much better pasta alternative than the mac company down the street. The dishes here are more «complete» compared to the bland 2 or 3 ingredient Mac dishes from their competitor, literally less than a mile away, for a similar price.
I almost always get the Penne Rosa with Parmesan crusted chicken. It has a little kick with plenty to fill you up. It comes out to just under $ 9 without a drink.
You can make your own pasta dish too. They start at around $ 6 and goes up depending on the ingredients.
Food — 4.5 stars
Service — 4.5 stars
Price — 3.5 stars
Cleanliness — 4 star (didn’t use restroom)

meh… interesting choices but they were kind of bland and just meh and really skimpy on the main ingredients …lots of noodles
another chain place in chain place hell: vernon hills

I work right across the street from this Noodles, so I’m there all the time for lunch. By now, all the staff knows me by name, which tells me they actually pay attention to their regular customers. They’re always very friendly, even when they’re busy or having a tough day.
The food is always fantastic, whether I’m getting mac and cheese, penne rosa, a salad, or, well, anything on their menu! It’s all delicious! And don’t forget the dessert! The cookies and rice krispies are amazing!

Went here again yesterday. The chicken was perfectly cooked and pasta had enough sauce. They did put sprouts on indo when I said no sprouts but no harm done, I just took it off with my fork. 4 stars instead of 5 because I am not sure If the improvement were just a coincidence or permanent. I will update again when confirmed.

I ate here once for lunch. Pad Thai with tofu. Felt a little sick and very full all day even though I didn’t eat again. Around 9pm it all came back up as if I hadn’t even chewed the meal… I haven’t been back.
Two stars since I here prior at different locations and I remember it being good.
My sister also goes crazy over the rice crispy treats they have by the register.

I ordered the pad thai with shrimp, very little shrimp and very dry. One scraggly piece of cilantro on top. I also got the Indonesian peanut noodles. Again sickly piece of cilantro. Nice and spicy but again dry. This is the first time I have been to a noodles and company. The pad thai with shrimp was almost $ 9 and the small Indonesian peanut noodles with $ 4.39. I think it’s a little expensive for the amount of shrimp they give you. And I was very very disappointed that they no longer have the truffle mac and cheese with bacon and spinach. From others reviews, that’s the reason I went there. The food was filling but if I’m going to spend $ 14.00 I think I will go to the golden kitchen instead. they need to sauce up their noodles. I am going to add a picture so you can see the cilantro on top.

I raced to this location and pulled in just 15 minutes before closing. I could see the body language of the employees when I walked in, they weren’t thrilled to have a last minute customer. In fact when I walked in, one of the guys announced, «Hey my register is closed,» and walked toward the back. But just then a young woman who was cleaning in the back of the seating area came racing up with a huge smile on her face. Her name is Katrina and she helped me as attentive as if I was the first customer of the day. I told her I feel so lucky to be here before you closed, my daughter is in Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital and she really wanted her favorite macaroni and cheese. Thank you Katrina for giving me great service! I didn’t notice until I got the food to my daughter at the hospital, but Katrina wrote Get Well Soon on the bag… very cool… The best!

the most legit noodle and co i’ve been to.
4.35 ish for a small bowl and $ 5.60 for a large? heck yes! perfect for portion control to get the small size. got the pad thai with no meat, actually very good. everything is fresh and nothing weird.
great service, the cashiers all know their stuff. if you ask for water they give you a legit cup. also the fountain machine is one of those touch screen coke machine, heck yes!
only complaint is the inside is pretty darn hot for a summer day.

Guess what? You can loiter at this Noodles & Co and use their free wi-​fi without buying anything! I sat there for over 15 minutes with no one bothering me or asking why I was there!
It didn’t actually take my food that long, the workers there just had no intuition whatsoever and it turned out that my food was just sitting on the counter the whole time. I’m actually curious to know how long they would have let me wait before asking what I was doing there.
That said, the food is good and consistent.

Family likes the noodles. Worth going back. Extremely busy and staff works hard to ensure tables are bussed and turning over. Soda machine is easy to get to, but placement ensures line forms quickly.
Only challenge was that mushrooms were left off my daughters meal. Brought to their attention and remedied quickly and professionally.
Yes, we will be returning.

Just a normal noodles. People are friendly and service is quick unless you stop by around 6 – 7. Med sandwich is great. I like that they keep adding new things every once in a while.

Truffle Mac with bacon mushroom and spinach. Yummmmm
don’t forget the tomato soup.

Great service, wonderful staff. Just wish the food was a bit better. The noodles I ordered had that packaged udon texture, and although flavorful, just was. standard. I may have been judging too harshly, because I’m from San Francisco, but perhaps I’ll update the review when I give it a couple more tries. The prices were pretty great, and the menu system works really well. Parking is accessible and seating was pretty nice. My father didn’t complain about the food, and ate every last bite, so I assume I could be wrong. Definitely a great place to bring folks who crave noodles in a noodleless place.

Solid option for vegetarians and non-​vegetarians alike. It is a chain, so if you’re not in to that move on. I usually order penne rosa or Indonesian peanut sauté. I feel like if you don’t order spicy food from this place your food will be bland. Truffle Mac is delicious as well, but very filling.
Most of the people I have encountered working here have been really nice. Except for one lady who kept giving my BF the stink eye the entire time we were eating there. She had not given us the cups for drinks we had ordered and paid for, and apparently it made her unhappy that he went back and asked her for the cups.
My other gripe is that they offer online and call-​ahead ordering, and advertise a separate line for those that choose to order ahead and take their food to go. I do this most of the times I eat here, and I shouldn’t have to stand in line behind 5 other people ordering to dine in. Especially if I have ordered online and paid already. The company gave you two registers and put the sign above the second one advertising to skip the line and order ahead for a reason. Please utilize that second register and line correctly.

So it is a chain… and I have been to many different Noodles and Companies, but for some reason I like this one the most!
The staff is very friendly and always cheerful, even when it gets busy during the lunch rush.
I used to always get the Penne Rosa or the Pad Thai (which I looooove) but I recently ventured out of the comfort zone and ordered off the new spring menu… man am I happy with that decision! I don’t remember the name of the dish, but it was a bowl full of spring greens and cheese and some noodles. So healthy, fresh, refreshing… and made my stomach very happy! I highly recommend getting the seasonal items, you will not regret it!
I like the outside seating, but I feel like when I’ve been there it’s always been kinda windy to sit outside, but I did once and my napkins were flying around… I don’t know if it the days that I have come, or it’s the positioning of the patio is a wind tunnel.
Surprisingly there is usually always available space to sit during lunch, without having to wait, even when there is a lunch rush. The parking lot is always never a problem, which is nice when you have a time restriction to get back to work.

Yum! Your standard Noodles fair, they do have a problem with entering your order correctly into the system though. I’ve been there less than 10 times and they have gotten my order wrong three times. On some of my other visits I have witnessed them getting other peoples orders wrong.
Hint! Check your to go order before you go.
They are always very accommodating.
