Noodles & Company is one of several new restaurants that opened near Costco in the San Tan Village area. Most, like this one, are the order-first-then-seat-yourself type -- the kind of place I appreciate on a busy day.
Noodles & Company has a fun menu. First you choose a noodle type, then a topping. Even though the Steak Stroganoff tempted me, on this visit I chose the Thai Green Curry with Shrimp. It was a good mixture of veggies and shrimp on a bed of Udon noodles.
Have fussy kids? There's even a plain buttered noodles dish and two types of mac n cheese. There are about three dessert choices, nothing too exciting. But the appetizers looked good (Korean meatballs, potstickers).
