Haven't been to a Noodles and Company in ages (literally, it has to be at least a decade). I saw…read morethey had Steak Stroganoff on their menu, and being a Beef Stroganoff fan, I wanted to give it a try. It was very good. I would definitely order it again. But....it was cold. And here's why. Hubby ordered the Chicken Parmesan, and apparently it has to go into the oven to bake which takes longer. So they brought my dish out first, and then his five minutes later. Needless to say, his was hot, and since I waited for him, mine was not. I will never understand why restaurants think it's ok to serve food at different times. People go out to eat TOGETHER, not one at a time. Eating before everyone has their food is not an option. It's rude. By the way, hubby really enjoyed his dish too. Pop machine wasn't calibrated correctly. There was virtually no syrup in the Diet Coke. It was like drinking club soda. Employees were very nice. They tried to find a solution to the food coming out separately by offering to put a lid on mine until hubby's was ready, and took the time to explain what the problem was. Two separate people checked in on us, one of whom appeared to be the manager/owner. Restaurant was very clean, and while it was freezing outside, the restaurant was nice and warm inside. I do recommend Noodles, but next time, we will do a to go order so we can enjoy hot food together.

I checked the receipt and it didn't seem like I was charged for it. I went back in and it was a different girl at the counter. I asked her to look at my receipt and make sure I wasn't charged for the steak bites. I was not, so I placed and paid for an order. However, here is where the really cool part comes in. The girl who took my original order came over to apologize. I said "That is fine you probably just didn't hear us order it" and she said "No I remember you saying it I just made a mistake and didn't put it in the computer". WOW. She didn't have to come and apologize to me at all. She didn't have to admit her mistake and she could have just said "ya, I didn't hear it" and all would have been fine. BUT, this young lady took responsibility for her mistake and owned up to it and I was impressed. Much respect to her and the others at the restaurant. Also - the food was good!

I ordered online for carry out and the platform was easy to navigate. Once my husband and I arrived at the resto we were greeted by a very kind staff member. Our food wasn't ready but within 5 mins of us being there it was good to go. We tried the wonton soup and chicken dumplings app. Both were on the bland side. Normally I'm used to wonton soup also having noodles and theirs does not. Flavors were OK, felt like both dishes were missing spices. Everything was cooked perfectly though. Maybe we ordered the wrong items from here and need to try others instead.

It's not a pretty joint. There were boxes stacked near the…read moreentrance, the tables and chairs were pedestrian at best, and the decor wasn't (if you get my drift). In my experience, this signifies either the place was going to be a shithole to pass up, or it was a serious place to eat, then get out and go somewhere with an atmosphere. Happy to say J's (IMHO) is a serious place to eat. No-nonsense, direct and to the point. When I walked in, all those common chairs I mentioned were stacked upside down on the tables in the way that places do when they are closed. The taciturn fellow who worked there assured me they were indeed open, and explained they had just finish washing the floor. Please dont read any of this as negative-the best Chinese places I've ever been have looked like this-and if you've paid attention to the Travel/Food shows on the TeeVee, the joints in China itself are pretty much the same. On to the food, know this place is a Serious REAL-DEAL Chinese resto. I didn't notice if there were "Occidental" Chinese-type dishes on the carte, (primarily 'cos I wasn't looking for them). What I saw looked yum, and had a hard time making choices, even though I had read the menu multiple times and thought I know what I was going to order in advance. Confessionately, this is a chief feature for my tortured dining self-It's a wonder I even get fed in restaurants (especially the great ethnic ones), due to option anxiety. I zeroed in on "Street Noodles" for starters-wouldn't you? Then went to "Cold Beef Shank" for entreé. The Noodles were fab as was the Shank. The noodles were in a broth. with some hunks of bok choy and ground meat on top. Hearty, still light. The shank had a thin sauce complimenting but not obscuring the beefiness. One bugaboo: the Shank needed a bit of seasoning, and I wasn't going to use soy sauce, as I believed that would have marred the subtle flavors of the Beef. I asked for a salt shaker. It arrived, and I was a little taken back, 'cos it appeared it hadn't been washed in a while, and the salt inside was caked. It occurred to me this condition was present due to the non-use of said shaker. I don't think I've ever asked for a salt shaker in a Chinese resto. I pulled a toothpick out of my "Murse" and broke up the caked NaCl. Applying same to the pieces of Shank, the flavor bloomed and I was a happy boy. Bring some salt packets along when you visit "J's", maybe. The fellow who was waiter and cashier was a "western" fellow, whom I engaged and turned out to be quite an experienced foodie. some pleasant conversation indeed.

The crab rangoon was extra crispy although perhaps could use more of a crab vs cream cheese balance. I really appreciated how they only set your table with what you need for your ordered dishes whether that be the type of utensils, plates, or sauces provided. They also gave me a smaller quantity of bean sprouts and such which I appreciate because I tend to not use much and always feel bad when I waste the rest. This is also probably the most aesthetic pho restaurant I've stepped foot into. I can't wait to go back!

I've eaten at many Thai restaurants in the Chicago and surrounding suburbs. Food is usually too sweet or salty, proteins are overcooked, or give sparingly. I've come to just accept it lol. This place was the best I've seen for years! Padwoonsen - Beef was moist and perfectly seasoned not too sweet or salty. Veggies plentiful. Noodles dry (not soggy) just like it's supposed to be! Papaya salad- large portion. A little on sweet side but I asked for little spicy so probably catering to American taste which tends to be sweeter. Rice soup - got a small. rice soaked most of soup by the time it got to me. take out container was not great (styrofoam) but flavor still good. On top of that I have gluten and msg sensitivity and didn't have any issues after eating it. My go- to Thai restaurant for now on!
