I haven't been to a noodles and company in a while, they surprised me. The noodles weren't the best thing I've ever had but for $12 I have absolutely no complaints. Very speedy service, the man I ordered from was very kind and helpful. He even walked our meal to the outdoor patio we were sitting at. I was pleasantly surprised with this establishment. We sat in the restaurant and would say it is more suited for takeout yet there is still plenty of room to sit inside and outside. Will be returning. read more

See all

We got a to-go order for lunch. I was expecting typical fast casual pasta, and it surpassed my expectations. The 3 cheese pesto tortellini was really yummy, lots of flavor. The only thing was it was a bit too salty. The asian dishes they have are not as great, kind of bland. I would recommend the Italian/pasta dishes over the other options. read more

How the f*ck do you either A)burn noodles or B)Have such a dirty kitchen there's a carbon layer on the food? Has happened multiple times so I'm finally giving up on going ever again. read more

Noodles & Company - what I couldn't muster down any more of: - Noodles Near Me - Columbia, Missouri

This is a good place to grab a quick affordable (for Italian) pasta based dish. However the wait time for online orders is crazy long and I arrived earlier hoping it was ready. It was, but if I hadn't shown up early I wouldn't have known. By the time I got home, my food was cold read more

This company must be on the verge of bankruptcy. Almost thirty bucks for two mediocre "regular" bowls that were small and served in to-go plasticware, despite eating in. They used to be a fun, mid-priced spot to get something the kids would like and have some interesting choices, but those days seem behind them. Be the last time I go there much better options for what they offer. read more

TERRIBLE service! the cashier laughed at me for ordering gluten free Wisconsin Mac, then he mocked the way I said add tofu. I have food allergies and dont want to hear his opinion on it, when bringing it to my table he laughed some more and reiterated that it had TOFU in it, so weird and the whole interaction just made me uncomfortable read more

Excellent noodles! I love the variety of pasta! Though, the mac and cheese isn't very creamy.

My overall thoughts on Noodles now that I have ate here for the first time is that it simply rocks! A group of my friends and I (7 of us) came here for the tasting they offer at our location. You get 1 large serving tray of each of the ethnic categories they offer (3 Asian, 3 American, 3 Mediterranean). We got the following dishes with my personal reviews of each I tried ranked 1-5. 1 being acceptable and 5 being knock your socks off good. Pad Thai: (5) Amazing, add hot sauce to really get the full effects! Do not skip this one if you like authentic Thai dishes! Penne Rosa: (3) The meatballs are way above average. The rest OK. Pesto Cavatappi: (4) Rotini noodles with a strong and tastey pesto sauce, sprinkled with parma cheese and parsley for bonus points! Delish! Bangkok Curry: (3) Very good period! Punch in the mouth taste unlike most other dishes you get elsewhere. Wisconsin Mac & Cheese: (3) Mac & Cheese on steroids. Bacon and veggie topping kicks it up a notch besides the 3 cheese blend they already use to make it great! Mushroom Stroganoff: (3) This one will take the dish you dispised in middle school at the cafeteria and blast it up to your top 10 fav list within a few bites. Whole Grain Tuscan Linguini: (2) By itself its fairly bland and flavorless. The chicken they serve it with makes up for lost taste. Adding salt and pepper alone helped big time. Japanese Pan Noodles: (4) A truly Asian dish with all the right balance, flavor, kick and synergy of ingredients you would expect in a genuine Asian style dish. Caramalized udon noodles rock! Did not get to try these....too full! My loss! Buttered Noodles Pasta Fresca Indonesian Peanut Saute Staff waitress we had was very helpful with everything we needed. Very informed about the menu and the dishes we had as well. read more

The noodles were a bit overcooked and mushy. The flavor was good, though. The meat was also a little overcooked but still had good flavor too. The flavor is why I gave 4 stars and not 3. read more

I absolutely loved my meal today. Stopped in because I love asian noodles and the place I originally wanted to go to was closed. I was not disappointed. The other time I went here I got the Pad Thai and I can say I was not a fan, but today I got the Spicy Korean beef noodles and they were amazing! My service was exceptional and I explained what happened last time and the cashier was like If you don't like it come get something else ! Rare to find such great service in Columbia If i'm being honest but I recommend this location to anyone wanting fresh and delicious food :) read more

Noodles & Company - Wish I could lick this clean ! Spicy Korean beef noodles. - Noodles Near Me - Columbia, Missouri

First they screwed up my pick up order which didn't appear odd considering the amount of dine in people who also came back to the counter to switch orders. Then they were completely unhelpful when I had to drive all the way back in and still waited a second time. Avoid! read more

If I could leave 0 stars I would. I've worked in a restaurant and I know what is expected. First, I used the women's restroom and there was no toilet paper. The place was completely empty so there is no reason it should be completely out. Second, the table was so sticky our bowls of food and drinks were stuck to the table. Then we got our food and the garlic noodles were undercooked so they were still hard and had hardly an flavor so I asked for the Italian seasoning and butter , the manager gave it to me and said he normally would charge but wasn't going to.. if it was cooked correctly we wouldn't have had to ask for more seasoning. And lastly the drinks from the soda machine were all watered down..It was not worth it to pay $35 for that type of food/environment to eat in. Before I left I let them know that the table was really sticky and they should clean it before someone else complains and they said ok. We sat in the car for about 10 minutes and still nobody had cleaned it so I don't think they really care. No wonder the place had no customers .. won't be going back. read more

We just did the World Tour of noodles here and it was amazing!! We had excellent service from Racheal and got to try so many different apps, salads, and noodle dishes! Plus a Rice Krispy treat to finish it off! The Korean meatballs and the new spicy Korean beef noodles were incredible. Definitely recommend coming here! read more

Horrible food horrible delivery wanted to keep our drinks I had to remind driver of this. I will never go there or tell people to eat there

Really good food. Fast and nice presentation as well. I got the zucchini noodles with tomato and a few other veggies and it was delicious. My friends got Alfredo and pad Thai. Eveythjng was greta read more

The best thing about Noodles is the convenience. It's just across the street from the heart of the MU campus, so it's a short walk from class. You can always get in and out quickly. They also do to-go orders if you don't have time to dine in. Noodles has a large number of vegetarian options because meat is always an add-on. You could add tofu, but most of the dishes are fine without so I don't think it's worth the extra cost. I have never gotten anything bad, but nothing on their menu is particularly fantastic either. Generally I stick with the penna rose, but the japanese pan noodles are pretty good too. read more

The customer service was amazing! Brie was great help and the general store manager was the sweetest! She even treated us to a free appetizer! The customer service was the best I've ever experienced at a Noodles & Co! Highly recommend to stop at this location. read more

Good choices on pasta dishes. Pretty cheap and very fast. Great casual atmosphere. Within walking distance of MU campus and downtown.

Alright I am a fan. Tasty food, good portions, and excellent service makes this place a good place to get some food. Definitely be going back to try more items out. read more

Tried the pad Thai and it is just average. Quite oily too. The service is quick and the staff is friendly, the food is expensive for the quality they provide. read more

I love noodles sooooo much, this location in particular!! We are two bands on the road (9 people) and our food came out HOT, FRESH, and QUICK!! Girl behind register even recommended I try the Japanese Pan noodles and I did-- best choice ever. Manager on duty, Jeremy made it a point to ensure us comfort as he stopped over to check on everything (and pick up empty dishes). This noodles continues to add to the fast, fun and friendly (and delicious) reputation they've developed since their conception! And it's obvious that Rachael is an awesome GM, it shows in the amazing crew and clean atmosphere! Can't wait to stop in again, thank you!!! read more

Amazing! I have very high standards when it comes to service and I've always been the one that would rather you mess up my food and treat me well than always get my food right and give me bad service. My husband and I came out for nice lunch and when our food came my order was wrong. They were very apologetic and quickly remade my food. The manager came over with a gift card for a free meal and 2 rice crispy treats. Rachael Plaggenburg, you truly are great at what you do, thank you for the great experience, oh and the food was amazing! read more

Didn't apreciate being charged $1.25 for substituting one vegetable for another today. They didn't even offer to give me my receipt either. I usually have a good experience here but today the cashier was kind of rude. read more

They were pretty fast, but they made a lot of mistakes with our orders.

Wonderful dinner :) my friend and I were told the tofu for the buff bowls was out but Aaron in the kitchen made a point to cook more tofu for us! Very very happy! Thank you, Aaron!!!! Great customer service :) read more

This place is amazing! Our office came in for a tasting they offered and we all enjoyed everything we tried. The spinach and strawberry salad and Indonesian peanut saute were my favorite, and I have had the whole grain Tuscan fresca in the past and usually get that, but there wasn't anything I did not like. They made sure to work around any allergies without sacrificing portion sizes or flavor. The staff was very friendly and we had a great experience, will definitely be coming back for more! read more

Need a quick carb fill up? Great place to do it close to campus. College locations tend to leave little for the eyes and nose in the buildings, but the food is worth it, and you can order delivery. read more

Each time I've been there we have had excellent service. But this last time was above and beyond. I was there with my 92 year old mom and my son and daughter in law. We ordered bread for my mom after she had received her food. The manager brought it over and said there was no charge because she was watching how my son and daughter in law interact with my mom, so patiently and kind. My son and his wife go there frequently and she complimented each of them on their bright personalities. She was outgoing and authentic. I appreciated her kindness, it made my day! Thank you Rachel. read more

So annoyed. This is the 3rd time I've ordered food to pick up and left with it, only to discover later that they excluded items I paid for. The point of pick up is that it's supposed to be hassle-free -- I shouldn't have to go to extra trouble of checking/returning to ask for my other items. read more
