    The place was great and the food came out on time! Loves the Kim's soup, it was great even for a hot summer's day!

    I usually go to the Noodles and Co near College Mall and mostly like it well enough, so I figured…read moreI'd give this one a try too since it's conveniently near campus. I got the basil pesto cavatappi here and it was just okay. The pasta seemed freshly cooked but the pesto sauce was just unremarkable. I got the small size as part of the duo with a side salad, and the small size is pretty large for a "small". The garden salad was good and fresh. This is in line with my food experience at the other location - there are a few dishes I've tried that have made me say "Oh, this is actually pretty good," but they're mostly just fine. I mostly go if I just want something fast that feels like a real meal and not fast food slop. I think I like the other location a lot better because the service is way friendlier (just based on this visit) and they have real plates and silverware when you dine in. This location bags everything to go even if you tell them you want to dine in, and the staff came across as very unenthusiastic.

    I ordered a Rice Krispie treat and Japanese noodles for delivery. They sent me a chocolate chip…read morecookie instead. I hate chocolate and would have rather had a refund but they took it upon themselves to send me a cookie without asking. Also- the noodles are disgusting. They taste like microwavable food. Trash. Not worth the money I paid. Basically threw $20+ directly in the trash.

    I've been wanting to try Rush Hour Station for quite a while, but it just never happens. When…read moremeeting a buddy for lunch he recommended it and I jumped for the chance. RHS bills itself as 'Vietnamese Fusion' and I have no idea what that might mean, but it was good. Very good. We went on a cold day, so eating on the outside deck wasn't an option. The interior is a basic strip mall location with a decent number of tables and plenty of seating, albeit a bit cramped. It's counter service, so it pays to take a look at the menu in advance and know what you want before you arrive. Paid at the counter, and they came to our table with the food very quickly. I had the 'Be Kind to Each Other' Chicken Pho which came with the usual sides of sprouts, basil, lime and noodles. You could upgrade your noodles if you wanted. I also added an order of cajun fries, which doesn't really seem like a 'Vietnamese Fusion' choice, but I love cajun fries so who was I to question them? The Pho was terrific. Loved it. The fries were very very good, though maybe a bit generous on the cajun. Still very good, and I definitely will return for this meal again. Friend ordered the Spam Banh Mi. Seriously???? Well, he did. And he said it was very good. You actually pay $0.50 extra for spam. Again, not sure what world you pay extra for the Spam but he did it. He selected the Fire Engine Tim sauce, which was to be spicy. When I pressed him for more details on the quality he said it could be spicier even with that sauce, but otherwise it was very good. He said to point out on Yelp that "That Diet Coke was clutch" - he may have been making fun of my questioning :) All in all a very good experience and I'll definitely return. I don't find much good pho in Bloomington, so it's nice to have a place for that. I won't be eating Spam anytime soon. I'm giving 4 stars only because the seating was a bit cramped and it was busy inside. I would go 4.5 if it weren't in a strip mall and pretty 'basic' ambiance. And that canned Diet Coke is clutch!

    This is quickly becoming one of my favorite spots for a quick meal in town. The menu is Asian…read morefusion, mainly Vietnamese and Thai. There's a lot of choices on the menu and many entrees are customizable with your choice of protein and/or sauce. The place is very vegan/vegetarian-friendly; they have a handful of vegan protein options and most sauces are vegan, if you do try to order a non-vegan sauce with a vegan protein, they'll check to make sure that's okay, vegannaise is available for banh mi, and they will also remove the egg from the entrees containing egg AND take off the price of the egg. Their food may not be totally traditional but I really enjoy it. The level of "authenticity" will vary depending on what you order and which sauces you get in the customizable entrees. Their banh mi bread is different from the banh mi bread I'm used to but I actually like it a lot more. It's crustier and more tender than the usual banh mi bread, closer to a French-style baguette. They stack on lots of fresh veggies. The tofu is thinly-sliced and fried for tenderness that gives it a somewhat similar texture to deli meat. You can also get any banh mi combo as a wrap with the same ingredients, and while the wrap is good for a change of pace, I have to say I prefer the banh mi because the bread is so good. Their other entrees are also delicious and come in hefty portions. Their mapo tofu is the best vegetarian mapo tofu I've ever had. I usually get a Thai iced tea when I come here. It's strong and just the right amount of sweet. I appreciate the oat milk option! I recently tried the Thai iced coffee and that was also really good. Lastly, the staff who work here are very friendly! It seems like a small operation but they work efficiently so I've never had to wait too long for my order! The only thing that's left to be desired here is that everything is served in takeaway containers and they only have plastic cutlery (except spoons for some reason), but I don't know what they're dealing with in terms of capacity to use actual dining ware, so I am not letting that affect my rating.

    I mostly like Noodles and Company, but some dishes have definitely been better than others. I'd say…read morequality can range from 2-4 stars. I get something different every time so I'm not sure if it's that specific dishes have different qualities or that they're just inconsistent. In general, it's not particularly memorable food, but it basically tastes good and is nice if you want a real meal fast. It's also good if you're vegetarian because you can customize any dish to have tofu as the protein or no protein. My favorite dish so far was the roasted garlic cream tortelloni. On the other end of the spectrum, I didn't care for the chili garlic ramen. The sauce was too oily, plus the noodles were clumpy and the veggies were lazily cut. Maybe the kitchen was just lazy on that day, because every other dish I've ordered, the pasta has been fine and the general presentation has been better. There hasn't really been a pattern to the dishes I really enjoyed vs those I didn't (some of the other "Asian" stuff has been pretty good, like the Indonesian chicken saute, and some of the pasta dishes have been underwhelming). The service is great. It's fast, and food is brought to your table after you order and pay at the counter. The eating area is cleaned often. Most of the staff are very friendly. I prefer this location to the other Bloomington location on Kirkwood because they have real dine-in plates and cutlery here.

    I've came to Noodles sometimes since 2018 and they have some of the most tasty pastas out there!…read moreThe service is really quick and gets your food out in like 2 minutes. The location and inside of noodles has its years but it is still decently maintained. They forgot my order last time, but don't worry because it rarely happens. Also since I've been there for years, I noticed that they changed the cheese. Not to complain but workers I recommend that the company changes back to the old cheese type, thank you!
