I just had my first, and probably last, meal at Noodles & Company. The service was friendly, but the food was awful. I got the Japanese Udon Noodles with steak. I will say that my dish LOOKED amazing, but don't be deceived by the photos. It tasted nothing like how it looked. The noodles were dry, and the steak was spongy. I've never thought to use spongy as a word to describe steak, but it suits it perfectly. It almost seemed like it was reconstituted. There was also a strange flavor to my dish that I couldn't quite identify. It stood out as strange and didn't go with the sauce. I drink iced tea almost every time I eat out, and the iced tea at Noodles & Company was very bitter (even the sweetened version). After how bad my meal was, I don't have faith that a different dish will be any better and probably won't risk eating there again.
