Had such a great experience here! We went for a quick dinner New Year's Eve and they were super friendly, and the food was delicious! They served us really quickly as well. It was worth the money we paid, and the store was super clean as well! I would definitely come back to this location read more

Their stupid ass employees charged me for chicken and gave me no chicken and then didn't refund me I hope they get burglarized on shift. Ambiance was nice. read more

worst experience ever!!! and here is why, me and my friends went to the restaurant and i ordered one simple Mac and cheese, my friend ordered 2 Mac and cheese! it took exactly 34 minutes to get only my Mac and cheese and it came out cold! then after I got mine exactly 20 mins after, my friend asked where there's were and they had to remake it! It took an extra 25 minutes to remake it! When we got back to our house my PLAIN MAC AND CHEESE HAD BACON IN IT!!! and did I say I am alergic to bacon! We called and they couldn't do anything about it because we paid in store!!! Also there was a HUGE chunk of FAT in my bacon Mac and cheese!!! I couldn't eat my lunch and lost my money from a dumb overpriced simple two pre made ingredient Mac and cheese! Worst restaurant ever don't recommend! read more

Ordered a salad here. Fresh and healthy. A good lunch place near campus! It has many seats and is pretty clean inside. (Though the serving people here seem to be not so friendly) I'll go to try different choices of salads in the future. read more

So I've never been to a Noodles & Company. For the Chipotle of noodles, it was ok. There are plenty of vegetarian options (you can build your own noodles also). I got the Japanese pan fried noodles, which were like, pan fried udon. The noodle texture was not nice and chewy- a bit more, um, brittle? Kind of spicy, which I missed but is listed on the menu. I added tofu (pleasantly surprised with the amount of tofu), and the noodles already came with shiitake mushrooms, some broccoli, carrots, etc. Overall, noodles were ok. Serving: way more than most ppl. finish in one sitting. Tomato bisque: very, very tasty. A thicker soup, but it was really good. I'd say better than the noodles. Service was fine- people were friendly. read more

Upon arriving at this noodles and company, I was hesitant due to the multitude of low reviews on service. However, when asking the cashier for my pick up order, he was very polite and quickly got my order. The food itself was pleasantly surprising. I ordered the pesto pasta dish and the spicy Korean noodle dish. The pesto was enjoyable, although I wish they added more sauce. As for the Korean noodle dish, it was quite salty. I will admit it was delicious for the first few bites or so, but then turned overwhelming. Overall, this noodles and company is a good option for a quick lunch. Would definitely recommend over other fast food options. read more

First time ever hearing about noodles & company. Was here for work and was looking for something quick to eat. A friend suggested noodles & company. It's definitely good. You do need to pay for the meat extra if you want some. My favorite is the penne ross with chicken. The mac and cheese is also delicious. Now we finally got on in Arizona as well. read more

Overpriced. Pad Thai noodles were mid. Small is suuuuuper small. Not worth the price :(

This review is solely about one person, Elva. The last time we were at Noodles and Company in Champaign, Il., they forgot some of our food. We didn't realize the mistake until we were home. When I called, I was told that my name would be written down and I could get another for the oversight. However, when I returned in about a week, the manager, Elva, informed me that my name was not recorded and, further, she implied that the error was mine for not making sure proper documentation was taken. I was irritated when I got home to discover that Elva had written "Free Bowl" on the "replacement" she has begrudgingly given me. I'm still trying to figure out how it was free when I had already paid for it in the earlier visit. FYI, we normally get goodish food and service but Elva has definitely left a nasty taste in my mouth (pun intended) for Noodles and Company. read more

I really like Noodles & Company. I also have enjoyed eating here for a quick and tasty meal. I was happy to see that there was one close to school and since I receive a bogo reward on the Noodles & Company app, I decided to check it out. Well, I thought I would beat the crowd if I came early for Sunday dinner (like 4pm-ish?) but man, was I wrong. It was packed with college students and the line was super long as well. The line didn't really move very quickly, but I don't blame the staff there. There were just too many students at this location. Despite having to wait in line for a while, I managed to order my food and surprisingly, I received my food quicker than expected. Even if they were crazy busy, the staff were friendly and nice and I applaud them for trying to keep that positive vibe. It made other people around them feel better about the long wait and it was a good experience overall. read more

The food is good. Prices are just ridiculous if you want add ingredients. One meal can turn into $20 or more fairly quickly.

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 Hidden deals: 1. Use the Hooked app which gives you additional savings. Dinner time savings was 2 dollar off an entree 2. Sign up for the email club for a free pasta on your birthday Health code rating: B http://champaign.il.gegov.com/champaign/estab.cfm?facilityID=781 read more

Noodles and Company - Up close and personal with the beef stroganoff - Noodles Near Me - Champaign, Illinois

I always go here ever since I moved to champaign. When it's the guy manager and you ask for extra sauce (which i dont do all the time only when my pasta is SUPER DRY THERES BARELY ANY SAUCE ON IT) he will gladly give you without any hesitations. But when I went the other day, i looked at my noodles as seen on the pictures and it is so dry. I asked the lady if i can have extra sauce since my noodles are dry. She said "oh its gonna be a $1" i said "i dont think i have to pay extra for something i already paid for" and then she asked i guess the "manager" that's not even nice at all no sympathy or whatever "we have to charge you, the penne rosa comes like that" so i was like "uhm maam ive gone to noodles all the time dont tell me the penne comes like this. " she was like "ok we'll give u sauce now but YOU CANT KEEP ASKING EVERYTIME" then i was furious mad "I DONT COME HERE AND GET FREE SAUCE ALL THE TIME ONLY WHEN ITS DRY" but i didn't say anymore cause she might spit on my food. But i will not be coming back to this location. MAYBE this is a company scam where they dont put enough sauce anymore so you pay them extra but the way she handled it was rude and i hope she doesn't stay there, i really like the guy manager. Nothing like her. This shoouldve been a one star but since i still like their food that's why theres 2 read more

I thought this was a soup place. I was wrong. There's plenty of other noodle items such as pasta and pad thai. I had myself some beef stroganof. It was pretty good and the large bowl was enough to get me full and take some home for a future meal. read more

I went to Noodles for the first time today and it was pretty plain Jane. The service was fine, but nothing special. I am giving it 2 stars because the prices are almost laughable. I paid $13 for ​beef stroganoff​ and a 20-ounce​ soda. The food is MAYBE worth $7. It's​ really no better than Wendy's or something along that line. In a word, I would describe this place as 'overrated'. read more

This is a horrible Noodles & Co. Every time I come in, there is a long line and only one person working the register (even though there are tons of employees typically socializing together) who usually seems like they would rather be doing anything but working the register (As a former waitress, I feel the pain but fake it till you make it when it comes to customer service). The food takes FOREVER because the employees stand and talk to each other constantly. Finally, they don't know the menu. I asked if they still had buff bowls and they were unsure if they did and one was unsure what that was. My favorite menu item is the Chicken Veracruz salad and 4/5 times I've ordered it here, they've "forgotten" to add avocado and proceeded to argue with me that it didn't come on it, even though it was specifically listed on the menu under the salad's description. Personally, I think they are trying to save $ by skimping on the avocados. I love Noodles food, but the customer service is really awful at this location and the employees need significantly better training. read more

Before I ever went in to noodles I was like "oh yeah, I get it, it's a little healthier than like chipotle or antonio's, and it has lots of noodle dishes, sounds like a good idea to me." Then I actually went for lunch one time. There was nothing on the menu that looked at all appealing (too much broccoli in everything; I'm a hater,) so I ordered the mac 'n cheese because it was the least healthy looking option and therefore had the best chance of being tasty. I got it with "steak" which cost like an extra $10 or some shit. It was so expensive! My macaroni and cheese came out, and it was so bland I put sriracha in it. The "steak" was not worth the ridiculous $10, and was barely identifiable as any particular type of meat. It gets 2 stars instead of 1 because it has air conditioning and is clean. read more

Noodles and Company is clean and has a nice ambiance that is missing from most campus-town restaurants. The menu is wide-ranging, with American, Asian, and Mediterranean selections, and you get chose your protein (or save money and not chose one at all). There are a huge amount of drink options, from wine to organic milk. Another great thing is that they have nice brochures with nutrition info and lots of healthy food options. Unfortunately, I find the food at Noodles to be very inconsistent. Sometimes my field green salad is great, other times it is just a bunch of bland iceberg lettuce. Other selections, even those labeled spicy, are a little on the bland side. Unfortunately it's also quite pricey for campus-town and it's often incredibly crowded during lunch. Another thing that annoys me is the excessive packaging for takeout: fancy bags and containers resembling tupperware are wasteful even if they are labeled "made with a chemical to speed up breakdown." But I still come back. They have food that is reasonably healthy and gives me a good dose of protein. I also like the variety of the menu. I love that I can get potstickers with my tomato soup, so that keeps me coming back. read more

The food here is honestly not too bad. Only reason I'm leaving two stars is because their service is awful. One of the waitresses accidentally spilled chili sauce on my pants. I get accidents happen so that's not why I'm mad. I'm mad because after she spilled it on me, she said, and I quote "Oops, oh well." And walked away. A simple sorry or I'll grab a towel to get that wiped off would be nice! Ugh! read more

Great alternative to regular fast food near U of I campus. Before an Illinois football game, the beer and burger places were overflowing. The fast food chains did not look appealing. But this little spot, with a huge selection, plenty of seating, and fast service, filled the bill perfectly. I can't give it four stars because the food was uneventful. I had the Indonesian peanut saute with grilled chicken. The rice noodles were decent, the sprouts and peanuts were fine, the seasoning was nice and spicy, and it came quick and warm. My wife had the tomato basil bisque off their Mediterranean menu. She said it was like eating spaghetti sauce without the spaghetti. Not a destination, but a good lunch alternative. read more

I actually fell in love with this chain when I lived in Minneapolis. Was very happy when they moved to Champaign. Now I can at least get it when I come home. Parking can be difficult since this is located in campustown, more-so when school is session, of course. Frequently there is a line, so you may have to wait. They do move through the ordering line quickly though. They will give you a number and then either bring you your food (if you are staying in) or call you up (if you are doing take-out). i really like that you can pick whatever noodles/soup with whatever meat option you desire. I think there used to be a menu option that I got, but it doesn't exist anymore. The last time I ate there, I got the pad thai- which was terrible. I don't recommend that at all. My parents love the thai curry soup...especially when under-the-weather. The bread is really good. And their rice krispie treats are nice and gooey. read more

I wanna start off by saying the food here isn't bad so that's not where the one star is coming from. The one star review is coming from the attitude of the employees and the atmosphere in general. When I got up to the cash register the young African American lady had a bad attitude and would roll her eyess when I asked her to repeat something because her other coworkers were yelling at each other and messing around. I don't know her name but she works in the front and was sweeping and VACUUMING around the store even undernneath our table and chairs while we were still eating. it's important to keep in mind this was at 9:20 40 minutes from closing. I thought that was extremely unprofessional and unnecessary. While we were eating constant profanity was flying around from the staff from the f word to the n word and it was an extremely repulsing environment. read more

I tried the Pesto Cavatappi with Chicken ($2.35 extra) at Noodles and Company. Recommend it highly -- the curly pasta was well marinated in the pesto sauce, and the chicken was succulent! The menu was well laid out, and the service was prompt! There is three different sections to choose from for the main entrees: American, Italian, and Mediterranean. I very much enjoyed my meal, and look forward to trying some of the their other stuff (salads, etc.). read more

The employees are invariably lackadaisical, unwelcoming, and distracted. I try to avoid Noodles if I can. Their food is obviously just whatever fast food. But I really love that they have corkscrew pasta. A positive of Noodles is that they can provide you with information on what is vegan and what is not (and how to modify certain dishes to make them vegan). I don't particularly like their vegan options, but if I had to choose, I would go with a dairy-free Penne Rosa with tofu. read more

Decent although the prices exclude meat, so it came as a shock when my final price was much higher than the advertised price. Had the penne rosa with crusted chicken read more

Always pleased with this place...the suggestions of meat to add to the noodle bowls are perfect! it's inexpensive and I'm definitely full by the time I leave. Casual atmosphere, although the customer service at the register could use a little help. Overall, good experience, though. read more

I had the Korean Style Beef Noodles and they were quite enjoyable. The noodles were perfectly cooked to the point where they had a very pleasurable texture, and were coated perfectly in the sauce. Speaking of the sauce, it had a perfect balance of saltiness, sweetness, acidity, and spice. The beef on the other hand did not absorb any of the sauce, and this is my main problem with the dish. It also tasted like there was no salt added to it when it was cooked so it only tasted like overcooked tough beef. There was also a nice inclusion of various veggies in clouding cucumbers, cilantro, cabbage, and onions. Each veggie enhanced the flavor of the dish except for the cucumbers which were only used as a garnish. Because of this, I do not think the cucumbers were necessary because they only added color and no flavor. However, there was also cilantro in the dish which added color along with flavor, so there was no reason for the cucumber to be there. I would definitely recommend this dish as a fast and flavorful lunch. read more

It was a rainy day and I wanted to eat something spicy. Considering we were on green street, you will think we had many options. Alas, it was 9pm and half of the restaurants were closed. Why? Well I don't know why. Guess, God really wanted me to go to this restaurant and since I'm a mere mortal, I obliged to his wish. I ordered pad Thai noodles with shrimps for my husband and Indonesian peanut sauté for myself. Food arrived pretty fast. I liked peanut noodles but the pad Thai was too sweet for my taste. I don't know how my husband finished it. I mean it tastes nice if you just take 2 bites but the more you eat, the more the sweetness starts coating your tongue. But, the taste was fine and since it was raining outside, it felt nice to enjoy hot noodles. Next time, I will ask them to make it a bit spicy and less sweet, if that is possible. read more

Some co-workers wanted to go here for lunch, and I agreed, grudgingly. I'd had it before when my company had a lunch catered, but I didn't find anything I liked then. Today I tried the Japanese Pan Noodles with steak, and it is easily the best thing I've had from there before. I've also tried the Pad Thai and the Steak Stroganoff, but I didn't care for those choices very much. The noodles + a cookie (no drink) was $11.50, so I thought it was pretty pricey for an order of noodles that were average at best. I rarely go on campus except when school's out. I can see why the students would like it though since it's pretty fast. I'd go again if others dragged me there, but I think there are a lot better options both on and off campus. read more

The noodles and pasta here never disappoint. I have been here two times and both times there, the service was impeccable and the food was like homemade and cozy. The pad Thai is always a safe and yummy option for all people. but all of the choices on the menu are wonderfully delicious as well. read more

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 :) read more

As a big fan of noodles and company, I was disappointed when I ate at this location. The workers were unfriendly and didn't even try to act like they wanted to be there. The food is always good which is why I continue going here, but the lack of customer service is ridiculous. The line is always long and the food takes awhile because the workers are usually too busy socializing. Do better Champaign Noodles and company. read more

Noodles and Company is an okay place for lunch, and by okay I mean not that great. It's located on campus, which makes it an easy destination for lunch. They serve Asian-style noodles, Italian pasta, and American pasta (think: macaroni and cheese etc). They also have soups and salads. You get to pick your size (regular or small), and can add ingredients (such as meat) if you like. I tried a couple of the Asian noodle dishes: they were alright but really not too impressive. I wouldn't mind so much if they were a dollar or two cheaper. read more

Always disappointed with this Noodles and Co! I simply ordered a soup with a side ceasar salad and I got a balsamic vinaigrette mixed salad. Also the only reason I came here is because Panera was closed so I will be going back to Panera next time it is open! read more

Avoid this place. Food tasted stale. I'm guessing the toppings (chicken, shrimp) are simply defrosted and places on the noodles or rice. Even the veggies tasted watery. read more
