Restaurant review
How can a chain restaurant be so different from the rest. I recently got my free birthday meal coupon from Noodles and Company. I was looking forward to the beef stroganoff which use to be my favorite many many years ago. Luckily school is out so we got parking on the same street as the restaurant. Ordering was simple, you pick and chose from a picture menu. Many of the dishes require you to pay more for protein, some are built into the cost. The food came rather quickly. I agree with Yelp reviewer Xi S., portions are significantly smaller than I remember. I don't know if NC removed another size to the dish, but this was a lot smaller than I remember. The noodles were slightly under cook and the lack of sauce was rather troubling as many of my bites were just plain noodles. Also the employees do not appear that they want to be working here at all. Now that I have tried it, I think I will pass the next time I get an email coupon....
Pros: Lots of different asian inspired noodle dishes, quick
Cons: small portion size, disinterested employees, under cooked noodle and lack of sauce
