I loved Noodles and Company. I like the concept of everyone ordering their own choice of food with different combinations of meat. Service is fast, they bring food to the table. Place is filled with students (but not loud), but then what do you expect in Urbana with University feeding all businesses in the area.
There were 5 in our group and we tried: Penne Rosa, Pesto Cavatappi, Indonesian Peanut Saute, Pasta Fresca with Pork and Whole grain Tuscan Linguine. Except for Penne Rosa, everything was very good.
Small bowl is perfect size for one adult. Regular can be shared.
Service is fast and food is filling. What more do you want at this price :)
