Noodles & Company

I wasn’t super impressed with my first visit to a Noodles & Co (years ago at a different location) but my husband and I had lunch here yesterday and I really enjoyed it. The regular noodle bowls are only $ 6, and then it costs a couple bucks more to add meat. Overall it makes for a pretty filling but not terribly expensive lunch, and my penne rosa noodle bowl was quite tasty (penne with slightly spicy tomato cream sauce, spinach, mushrooms and tomatoes, to which I added parmesan crusted chicken). My husband really enjoyed his Indonesian peanut sauté. There are a lot of things on the menu I’d like to try, including soups and sandwiches.
You can order online in advance for pickup, which is very convenient if you’re in a hurry, although the food came very promptly anyway.
This will definitely go into our regular lunch rotation.

I guess I should know better. I got there at 8:45pm, 15 minutes before closing time. I took a bite of the parmesan-​crusted chicken and this is what came to mind: Have you ever seen a piece of chicken that has been left in the fridge for months and now has frost bite? Well imagine that someone deep fried while it’s still frozen and served it to you on top of overcooked dry past. Yummm.

Got a take out order today and was super excited that they actually had potstickers. Usually, they sell out before I get there. I ordered 2 spicy chicken sandwiches (highly recommend those. They are awesome) I also ordered 2 orders of 6 potstickers. When I got home I found both orders were short a potsticker. I emailed corporate to tell them how sad I was. They emailed me back almost immediately apologizing for my inconvenience. I was happy with that. Then, there was a knock on my door. It was the manager with a new order of potstickers, coupons and an apology. This place rocks. Their customer service is the best I’ve ever seen! They will continue to have my business. The food is always fantastic and have yet to meet a bad employee. If you’re in West Lafayette, IN and are looking for a clean, friendly restaurant to eat at that serves great food I highly recommend Noodles N Company!

I got the Bangkok curry with chicken and it was ok. The noodles were a bit undercooked. I also got chicken with it and there was way too much seasoning on it. The flavor of the dish was good though.

Another good option for vegans to eat. Menu is clear as to what is vegan.

Good food, a step up in price from say the Fiesta or Panda Express nearby. Very popular and always crowded. It can be hard to find a table, let alone a clean one. Patio is nice in summer. Friendly, competent, efficient staff taking orders.

Ordered a dish and added chicken. Not a single piece of chicken was cooked more than a quarter of the way

Average noodles, quick and cheap. Nothing real special about this place. You can have your noodles delivered to you, but they don’t cross the river –_–

This place is pretty good. The portions aren’t huge but they are satisfying. This chain reminds me of Panera Bread but cheaper. Their prices are reasonable and the food is tasty. Food prep is fairly quick and they bring it to your table in semi-​waiter style service. We have found that we like most of their pasta dishes. However, the last time we went here we noticed that they started carrying wraps and sandwiches. We haven’t tried that stuff yet but, if it’s anything like their pastas, I’m sure it will be good. The staff at this location is always friendly and I have never had an issue with my food. The lunch rush can make it pretty busy and cramped for space but that is to be expected. I would highly recommend coming here for a lunch with your friends. We used to meet up here all the time and always enjoyed it.

I only try Bangkok curry. The only thing of the dishes has something to do with «Bangkok» or «curry» is coconutmilk inside the sauce. Way too sweet. But other things looks great. Will try a different dish next time.

I like dining at this chain restaurant because it is quick and fairly good tasting.
I like most of the dishes and the pasta is consistently cooked properly. My favorite and goto dish is Penne Rosa, has a nice spicy sauce. Never get a small bowl, unless its for a child. The regular bowl is the proper serving. It can get rather busy and unkept at lunch time or on game day with football season. Near campus, the Village parking is a pain to find a spot. Your best move is if you’re looking for a quick meal, drive past and see if they’re packed.
An bouns here is they’ve installed new soda machine with a touch screen interface. This allows you to choose your choice of flavoring. I think you can mix pops in cool combinations this way. I dislike soda pop in general so its not as exciting for me.

Say what up to Kohl because he is THE MAN.

Noodles is delicious and good for college student budgets! I always get the Penne Rosa with feta and Parmesan Crusted Chicken, plus a side Caesar salad. The salad ranges in size dramatically sometimes, but it’s only $ 1 extra with the pasta so not a big deal. The portions are good for the price you pay and the service is always quick. Perfect for lunch and dinner!

I like going to Noodles and Company for something different for lunch. I like most of the dishes and the pasta is consistently cooked properly. I’m always confused about how to order and it takes me a little while to choose, but that may be because I don’t go here that often. My most recent visit was for lunch on Friday and the place was packed with students. My companion ordered the chicked noodle soup and she loved it. I had a fresca dish that I was somewhat disappointed in. The tomatos were squishy blobs and there was a few onions thrown in, but not much was fresh in this fresca. The sauce was very tasty and the chicken was moist, but other than that it was kind of blah. I agree with other reviewers who feel that you pay alot for a small portion. Dont’ even bother with the small bowl to save money, it will be like you’re eating a snack. You have to get the regular bowl to get a proper serving. The place was busy so I can’t effectively comment on cleanliness, and we did find a clean table right away. They have recently installed one of those new soda machines that feature about two dozen drinks that you can add your choice of flavoring. I love these machines because I can get vanilla Diet Coke that was once available in the stores but was discontinued several years ago. This place is near campus in the Village so parking is very very VERY hard to find. Yes, I will go back but I’m still searching for that favorite dish from this location.

Gotta say they do have some good food such as mac n’ cheese, salads, and soup but overall i havent been impressed with other items such as the pastas or sandwiches. The prices are pretty expensive for the quantity you get sometimes. It reminds me a bit like mcallisters where there is certain items that are good and worth the price. I’ll go back for my usual items, but sadly thats all i’m impressed with. Also be careful where you park cause on their food truck days you’ll get a ticket.

Noodles is a delicious pasta restaurant that is midway between sit-​down and fast food. I find that atmosphere very appealing. The meals are reasonably priced and delicious. I’ve never had a bad experience here. The outside seating is wonderful and is a nice place to eat with company. The chicken on the noodle dishes is always amazing. I could eat a bowl of just the chicken. All of their meals are good, and the bread selection is great as well. I like the this company gives you the option of using chopsticks. It seems a little out of place since it is not an Asian restaurant, but it works, and it works well. They even give you practice center pieces for the chopsticks so you don’t look like a fool trying to use them while eating your noodle dish. I highly recommend this eatery to anyone and everyone in the Village area.

Our first visit to Noodles & Company. Always was curious, and finally had a chance last night.
Had no idea what they had, and really liked the concept. Thought it was fun to have different noodle fare.
I had the Pesto Cavatappi and my husband had something with coconut sauce (sorry cannot remember). My dish was amazing. The flavor combination was perfect. My only complaint was there was not enough tomatoes to bring in the kick. They were out of cavatappi at the time, but it was still good on penne.
My husband said his coconut sauce was incredible, and he wished other places had such a strong sauce.
We both added meat to our dishes… he had shrimp and I had chicken. I could barely eat all of mine, but my husband was disappointed that there was not enough noodles.
The dining room was dirty when we got there (probably 6 tables needing to be cleaned), but there was like 7 staff members standing around. Seems that management is not overly strong.
One plus was our combined meal and drink was under $ 20…rarely can get that.
All in all I will give them a grade of B-​. Not horrible, but not awesome either.
Will return though.

I’ve been to a few Noodles & Co. locations, my first experience being in Madison, Wisconsin. I seem to remember being much more impressed in Madison than I’ve been with any of my experiences in West Lafayette.
While the food is tasty – my favorites include the pesto cavatappi and the Indonesian peanut sauté with beef – it seems pretty expensive for what you get. I usually get the trio, which allows you to choose one small pasta dish with a protein and a side salad or soup. That, plus a fountain drink, gets you up near $ 11 – and I’m always hungry after the meal. I noticed, too, that they’ve started charging for dressing substitutions on their salads. If you don’t get their regular balsamic, they’ll tack on a few cents extra to your bill.
I do appreciate that they have diet lemonade – they’re one of the few places in town that does, along with Chick-​Fil-​A (mmm). I find their meals tasty. I just wish they gave you more food for what you pay.

I love Noodles and was really excited when they opened up on campus. Their macaroni and cheese and pesto cavatappi are my go tos. The macaroni and cheese is filled with warm and gooey cheese sauce with extra shredded cheese on top that you mix in right away. I’m usually full off of a small portion and when I’m really hungry I get the trio which includes a side salad or soup and a meat mix-​in for the pasta. Their service is always fast and friendly. It’s a great «healthier» alternative fast-​food option when I’m not up for something fried.
They also offer sandwiches now too, I’ll update when I’ve tried them.
PS. You’re not supposed to leave a tip which can be confusing to some. They clean away your plates once you’re done.

Damn, they have some goodass mac n cheese.
I really wanted comfort food, yet something not necessarily greasy, and my Honey wanted something simple and healthy. We were both able to get what we wanted with a trip to Noodles.
I really like how bright and friendly this little restaurant is, and how even though it’s basically fast food, you can order healthy dishes from any noodle-​eatin’ region that is clean and well-​prepared. I ordered a side cucumber and tomato salad. It also had slices of red onion, and was tossed with oil, vinegar, and cayenne pepper. The veggies were crisp and fresh, which made the Wisconsin Mac n Cheese slightly more justifiable. That dish was so perfectly creamy, gooey, and cheesy. I know I’ll crave it for days.
Noodles is an excellent choice for vegetarians and pretty much anyone who wants a little bit of this and a little bit of that.
