Opt to try noodle company over chili's because it was new to the area. Though my dish ( pesto cavatappi) was tasteful, it was cold in spots. As if they put cold pasta with warm pasta. The tomato basil soup was "ok". Nothing to sing about. My husband had the Pad Thai and just looking at it I can tell it dry. Overall, since it looked like every there was new I would give them a 4 out 10. But next time I will go next door to chili's.
