This was our first time visiting Noodles & Company, and we went in expecting basic pasta with a few sauce options—but we were pleasantly surprised. The food was fantastic! Everyone in our group ordered something different, and every dish was a hit. I had the Lemon Shrimp Scampi, and it was absolutely delicious.
They offer both small and large portion sizes, which is a nice option depending on your appetite. The service was excellent, the restaurant was clean, and the prices were very reasonable. Overall, it was a great experience and we will definitely be back.

Food: absolutely delicious! The Pad Thai is a new found favorite. I love the flavors and the amount in each serving is incredible! The shrimp was cooked well and the ingredients were fresh. My daughter loved the garden salad with balsamic dressing as well as how crispy the veggies were. The Cajun Fettuccini was nice and creamy with a slight kick from the seasonings; it meshes really well. The Pulled Pork BBQ Mac could’ve been a little cheesier in my opinion (I like a lot of cheese lol), but overall, the flavor was good and the pork was quite tender. Mixing the flavor of the BBQ with the Mac and the crispy onions was definitely a great choice! Can’t forget the cheesy garlic bread, which was so good! It was perfectly soft and crunchy all at the same time and was packed with a garlic punch. I also really enjoyed the lemon Parmesan broccoli. It wasn’t overcooked, so it still had a bit of a crunch and the flavor combo was perfect!
Service: all of the employees were very nice as well as efficient. We were greeted with a smile and friendly demeanor when we walked in. We ordered take out and our food was ready in a timely manner. Nothing was spilling or overflowing making a mess. All of the food was packed nicely in bags that were sturdy enough to reassure us that the bottoms wouldn’t burst out lol.
Ambiance/atmosphere: the interior was kept up well and seemed very clean. There was plenty of space to enjoy your meal without being too close to others. It wasn’t overly loud inside either.

They have really good food but my favorite is the BBQ Mac and cheese they got rid of the crispy jalapenos on top. They need to bring them back. and the Snicker doodle cookie is the best.

Staff here does a really good job. I’ve very rarely seen this place busy. Plenty of seating options.

After my first review, I’m leaving another one today. I guess I came back here today for the first time in almost two years, and nothing has changed yet! The food was excellent, and the staff is still super kind and friendly! Even though the first order went wrong partly due to my fault, -because of the mask, it became more difficult for me to enunciate and help others understand me- Tommy and the other, super kind employee (I’m sorry I didn’t get his name) offered me free noodles (Korean Spicy BBQ Noodles). And without him, I could never have been able to get my food tonight because it was my first time to use Apple Pay, and he kindly taught me how to do it! THANK YOU!!
The food was great! The owner and the staff were super kind and friendly!
I had Korean dish from the menu which I was doubtful at first, but it was far better than I expected. The owner listened to me very carefully and never hesitated to welcome my opinion about the menu. He seemed to be ready and willing to listen to all of his customers’ opinions about his business.
My son swiftly ate up the meatball spaghetti and asked for another. When I went back to the counter, they gave me one more on the house after hearing my regrets that I should have ordered the bigger one in the first place.
I would really like to go back there!
Thank you guys!:)

I ate dinner there tonight at 6:00. Place was super packed, loud. Our server messed up half the tables order, no biggie though I get how hectic it was. Server gave me my entree, but walked off with my side still on his tray. I followed saying “excuse me” several times. He didn’t hear, I caught up to him at the edge of the pick-up counter where he was talking to a co-worker. Said “excuse me” again, loudly, no one heard. I reached out and tapped his elbow to get his attention, got it, politely asked for the forgotten side, and he said of course, be right out with it.
At the end of dinner, in front of all my friends, the servers co-worker (some young woman with purple/green hair) told me she would kick me out if I ever touched an employee or went in her kitchen again.
If she wanted to talk to me about store policy, she could have asked to speak to me privately. I was so embarrassed. I don’t know if I’ll ever go back.

Second visit to Noodles and Company. I had a good experience, the store was cleaner, the staff was fast and friendly, the food was pretty good. I probably like my foid hotter than what most people would, so its a good thing they carry a selection of spices by the soda pop machine and silverware so you can adjust the heat to your liking. I had the Spicey Korean noodles, based on ramen noodles. They were out of cilantro, so I made due without lol. The dish had pretty good flavor, with barely noticable heat to me. I also tried the Korean Meatballs which were bathed in Korean bbq sauce. They were okay. Unlimited drink refills, overall not bad. Free Wifi, outdoor seating, theres a fence to chain your bike too, no catering or delivery.

I got the lemon garlic shrimp scampi, unfortunately the noodles were sitting in a pool of really watery pasta sauce. It wasn’t cheap, 16.50 so I guess I expected higher quality, but it was like a freezer meal
