Nice to have a Noodles and co downtown Naperville! The staff was nice and we did not have to wait long for our food. We felt the sauces could have been better mixed with our pasta but overall it was solid. If you've never been to a Noodles and Co, they feature many really solid pasta standards, nothing fancy. I like their Japanese Pan Noodles, Mac n Cheese (my kid loves it too- MUCH better than Kraft), the Pesto and the classic spaghetti and meatballs. read more

Came here for a school fundraiser. They donate 25% of the proceeds. The place was pretty empty at 7pm on a Tuesday. I liked the big round booth to accommodate our party of 7. Food came out quickly in microwave containers lol Chicken Parmesan - pretty bland and kind of a small portion Pesto cavatappi - I remember this being my favorite but it was kind of watery Mac n cheese - cheese comes on top that you mix in. Pretty standard and creamy Kbbq meatballs - too spicy for my niece but not really spicy at all just a peppery flavor. Flavorful but spongey Chocolate chip cookie - I've never tasted a cookie so bland read more

we came in 20 minutes before close rather than telling us that they are doing carry out only they made us pack up our food at 10pm saying we had to leave and that this was told by the manager. RUDEST service ever. Terrible and demeaning. read more

This is for the location in Naperville on Washington Street. We were there on Sunday afternoon. Restaurant was not busy and we never saw any staff cleaning the dining area! Rice was underneath the tables and the tables all looked dirty. Entrees were ok, but not exactly as ordered. read more

My food was luke warm, my cousins food was still frozen. Managers handled well and made new food, but when we went to sit down chairs were super sticky and absolutely disgusting and so were the tables. It was my groups 1st time coming and we will never be coming back again. read more

I love this place. Great service. The staff are so friendly. The Steak Stroganoff, Penne Rosa, and Japanese Pan Noodles are so good. I'm sure I will like the other dishes too. For sure worth coming back and I will recommend this place to others. read more

Ordered the BBQ pull pork Mac and cheese and side caesar salad, disappointing. The lack or cheese and bbq sauce made it this plate heartbreaking. My order was to go so maybe they didn't care. I would recommend maybe asking for extra cheese and bbq sauce. The palm full side salad was not worth paying for. read more

One of the kids at the counter was friendly, but the service is terrible, food is surprisingly slow and gross, cleaning products were left on a table while other spaces seemed dirty. Yuck. read more

Ordered food to go last night. Halfway through my alfredo montamore I noticed something white. I shuffled some noodles around and found a orange and white produce sticker on a piece of spinach. I've never been so sick to my stomach. If they can overlook something like this, cook and serve it, I cringe thinking about what I might've ingested before finding that sticker. read more

Great experience at lunch today! It was very busy when I walked in. They had someone cleaning the tables and dining area. The line to order seemed very long but it went quickly. The food did not take to long to come to the table. I ordered Pad Thai and added tofu. It was a great choice! Overall-- great lunch option in downtown Naperville. I'm sure I will be back soon! read more

Noodles and Company - Pad Thai with tofu - Noodles Near Me - Naperville, Illinois

I really like this place. They would get five stars in a heartbeat if they would address one problem... for years they have been too slow in keeping the tables clear. The problem has been better in recent visits, but its frustrating in such a high-volume place to wait for a table to be cleaned, or to see so many tables not being cleaned immediately when the crowd dies down. So why is this place crowded? Because its a good quality meal, served quickly, decent sized portions, all at a reasonable price. For vegetarians like myself, there is an extensive variety of options to choose from. My all-time favorite thing on the menu is the Thai Curry Soup. It's a mild curry soup with rice noodles and vegetables. I add on tofu since it goes quite well with the soup. Since it's too hot for soup now, I really like the Med Salad (their take on a greek salad, with some spiral-shaped noodles thrown in for good measure). Another good choice is the Japanese Pan Noodles. The most decadent thing on the menu is Mushroom Stroganoff. I have steered clear of it lately because it had 780 calories in a regular-sized portion, and I am really trying to cut back. read more

I come here so often whenever I'm back in Naperville. The noodles are consistently delicious and I think they offer great value too. My go-to is the Pesto Cavatappi. I appreciate that the taste is not too strong and not too bland, and that the noodles always have great texture. The food generally comes out quickly so I'd recommend coming here for a dependable experience. So now that I've addressed its advantages, I feel that there are a couple of weak points too. First of all, I'm not a huge fan of the Steak Stroganoff, but that's just personal preference so take it with a grain of salt. I should also mention that if you're looking for an authentic Italian meal, this is not the place. It's not necessarily fast food but it's not comparable to family-run Italian restaurants so don't expect that and you should have a good time :) read more

Back in the day, Noodles' offerings didn't seem to be as greasy as they are now. Back in the day, you got more bang for your buck. And by bang, I mean noodles. An order of a small bowl of anything is quite underwhelming. Back in the day, my top faves were pesto cavatappi and mushroom strogranoff. Some things don't change. This location was still bustling at 3:30 in the afternoon. The lines move fairly fast. I do like getting a free bday bowl of noodles and BOGO on my noodlegram anniversary, but those are about the only 2 occasions I'm inclined to drop in. read more

Decent food and fresh alternative to fast food. However, I can't say much for savoriness and taste especially if your looking to satisfy Asian food cravings. I had the Pad Thai but it was far from how the dish should taste. It was very bland but given that this place is a chain, it is expected. Come here to try it out and feed your hungry stomach but it's definitely not the cheapest and is not the go-to for authentic cuisine. read more

This location definitely has some bigger problem than others. I'm not a frequent flyer in noodles and company, however I know how their food tastes, since most of the time I order the same 2 things. Today I visited the Naperville location and I was surprise by very long wait (15+ minutes), severely undercooked pasta and tasteless chicken. It's not how the chain usually serves food. Beware of this location. read more

KIDS FAVORITE!!!! Walk right in at 6:30 on a Friday evening, very short line, friendly service (employees actually seem HAPPY), and decent/cheap noodles.

The meal is decent but they jeeped me on my steak that I payed 3.50 extra on. The restaurant was very unsanitary and unclean during covid. The bathroom was stinky, unclean, and there was no paper towels. read more

Food was good and free delivery offer was nice, until I noticed the approx $5 service fee which was for technology convenience (of them not paying someone to take my order) and costs associated with delivery (for which they already said delivery was "free"). Good food, sneaky and shady business dealings. read more

If you want to find Naperville's best burrito look no further. Seoul Taco is across the street and if you don't like that there's an expensive french restaurant. But if you're an avid noodler then Noodles just might suit your needs. There's usually a young crowd loitering making it the local hot spot for the youths. This place is jumping as they would say. I gave this place 4 stars because I think they deserve a fighting chance. read more

Super dirty. Drink machine could not be grosser (sticky all over, screen didn't work, pop layers stuck on machine.) Kitchen was very messy. This place has been used hard and is due for a major deep cleaning. Would not return. read more

This is a prime location and it is surprising dirty. I took my kids here for lunch and Is dirty like the other reviews said. The tables need to be scrubbed and the soda machine is a sticky. Not sure I would come back. Staff is friendly and fast. read more

Noodles & Co. has always kind of bothered me. LIke there's some mischievous kid named Noodles and his crazy kooky gang of followers is his Company. Follow all the hijinks they get into! The ONLY shining star (read: 2nd star) of Noodles is the efficient and quick service i got from the help at the counter. The Wisconsin Mac n' Cheese conjures up images of creamy, gooey cheddary cheesy goodness, in noodle form. What I actually received when I got home was thin, watered-down, flavorless pasta and overly-flavorized meatballs. Barely any detectable cheese flavor at all. It was less Wisconsin and more Wyoming. Or more appropriately, Wheresthecheeze? A large order- with meatballs and a flatbread- set me back almost $10. I was left shaking my head in disappointment all the way to the last noodle. No way I'll let myself get into that again. read more

If you consider Wisconsin mac and cheese to be the best meal ever created, Noodles and Company on the heart of downtown Naperville is for you. Otherwise, look to one of the myriad other restaurant options. Noodles & Company seems exclusively populated by teenagers, North Central students, and young families. To say it's loud and crowded is to say Lake Michigan is a damp puddle. At no hour of the day does it feel quiet except for blizzards or brief lapses between the overturn. Large groups should expect to wait outside for a while or find themselves vying with fourteen-year-olds for spots. I don't find the idea of sitting with my elbows in another person's bowl, cramped among a sea of sticky tables and crowded confines to be a comfortable or desirable dining experience. Especially not for $11, which was basically an entree and a drink. If I had to, I'd get N&C products to go. They cater and my workplace very occasionally called them up for mac and cheese and spaghetti. I suppose comfort food does well, but their noodles have almost no flavour. Buttery, greasy, oily, or just plain cheesy, yes. But I long to run down to Penzeys Spices and dump a few tablespoons of Pasta Sprinkle, Northwoods Seasoning or Arizona Dreaming into the sauce vats to liven things up a bit. And for the price the restaurant charges, higher than typical fast food, shouldn't I be entitled to an actual taste? For the record, I'm not a food snob. I love spaghetti and rotini to the ends of the earth. Nothing much beats mac and cheese or a tuna casserole on a bitter January morning when I can't be bothered to cook something fancy. The problem with Noodles and Company is the blandness of their food and the incredibly high sodium content, hellishly busy tablespace, and the pokey service at most crush hours (aka: pretty much 30 minutes after they open until close). Parking in downtown Naperville is already challenging enough, and I don't need a 20 minute wait for spaghetti that's going to be gluey goo swimming in a watery tomato sauce. Pass. read more

From the Noodles & Company Training Manual: 1. Heat up dirty pan 2. Put in a very small amount of old, dried out, pre cooked noodles 3. Add one thin mushroom slice and 1 tomato piece 4. Add a little "Bland and Canned" pesto sauce. If customer asks for extra sauce, charge $1.00 for it but don't really use any extra. 5. Cook until pasta burns 6. Sprinkle very little bagged cheese on top 7. Overcharge for it. 8. Don't clean up store read more

Do not eat the Pad Thai noodles dish! My sister and I had it and both got food poisoning. Before that incident, I used to get the Mac & Cheese dish, which was quite good. The location is fantastic if you're downtown but horrible for pick-up because of the limited parking. Usually the restaurant is staffed with local high school and college kids who could care less about their job and act like it. During the day, there is always family's in there with screaming children, which makes the atmosphere anything but pleasant. Going an hour or two before close is sometimes nice, though usually swamped with local pre-teens. I absolutely do not recommend this restaurant. read more

We just went to Noodles&Company for our Friday carryout Covid19 meal. My wife, 25 year old daughter and myself all ordered the Zucchini Truffle Mac. Sounds good, but was a real let down! I never do Yelp. This is my first time. We were all in agreement of how disappointing the meal was. The zucchini was spiral cut to look like noodles, there was the equivalent of maybe one mushroom thin sliced, and a watery cheese sauce. A small portion, that was it. We added some shredded cheese to it and heated it up in the microwave. That helped a bit. We are to Culvers to get another meal to fill us up! read more

The nastiest noodles in the world, it's uneatable! I'm a big noodles eater and I really think those are not true noodles! It's greasy, salty, dry...yuck! read more

Overall terrible experience. Very rude people working here didn't care that we had a coupon asked us about 5 times what we were kidding. Asked for a water and our cups looked wet and dirty still. Server that came to our table was very rude as well just putting out bowls dow. Will not be back With Nando's Peri Peri next door there's no reason to come here. read more

Dirty tables everywhere. The staff does not clean up the dishes after people are done. There are 5 dirty tables and no open tables. Not cool. It made the restaurant smell and just look trash. The employee was super rude, and just left thinking that I will never come back. AVOID AT ALL COST read more

This location features WAY TOO MANY large groups of teenagers during Friday and Saturday evenings. The food is good, does not taste prefabricated, and there is a variety of dishes and combinations that make it fun after each visit - even for vegetarians. Not too good on dessert options, but has varied softdrinks, beverage (Nantucket juices), and beer selection. read more

I always find this location of Noodles & Co to be a bit lacking. The place is always kind of messy, because they fail to clean the tables. The layout is soo cramped. I know they are working with what they have, but I think the building just fails them. The food is fine, it tastes like any other Noodles & Co, but I would rather drive to the one on 75th than try to find a parking spot in DT Naperville and sit inside this place. Both of those things just ruin the experience for me. This place also has to be swimming in money. How can they charge as much as they do for NOODLES?! I'm always baffled at how much my meal ends up costing me. read more

This restaurant would get one star if it weren't for the delicious rice Krispy treats for dessert. The actual noodle dishes I have tried are terrible! I seriously wonder if they rinse their plates because the last two times I had pad Thai from Noodles, it tasted like soap, not spicy peanut sauce. My husband had beef stroganoff that looked like dog food and tasted like Hamburger Helper. If I had my choice, I would never eat here again. Why throw money away on horrible food when so many delicious options exist in downtown Naperville! read more

I have an affinity for cheap and fast noodle dives. This place hits the spot! Ultra casual atmosphere with consistently really incredible staff. They are very cheery and helpful despite not making tips. It is an 'order at the counter and they bring you your food on a tray' type joint, which I have no issues with. Definitely not somewhere you bring to impress someone, more of like a quick lunch situation. I love their Bangkok curry with tofu. Tenders veggies on a bed of cabbage and a light serving of noodles in a light curry sauce. It fills you up, but doesn't weight you down! A good bang for your buck, it is worth a try if you enjoy cheap and cheerful noodle shops! read more

When you have children, certain things in your life change. You go to see movies you would never have previously paid attention to. You find yourself shopping in the Disney Store. You stay in more often. And when you do eat out, you find yourself in establishments like this one. It's not terrible. I enjoy the buttered noodles with meatballs as much as the next guy. But any of the attempts at ethnic pasta dishes can be had in a superior form at an ethnic restaurant. You might want to think about putting away some money for retirement, and just boil a pot of noodles yourself. Save your dining out dollars for superior restaurants. read more

Just writing a review on the Pad Thai. If you want pad Thai. Don't go here. Stick with authentic.

The worst food ever. I am shocked at the quality of food served here. I realize this isn't a trendy restaurant. It's a fast food restaurant, I get it, but it doesn't mean the food has to be bad. Either management needs to get their act together or change it, because the food was atrocious. The mac and cheese didn't come close to it. It was a bunch of dry macaroni pasta with a teeny bit of some sort of yellow goopy liquid and some sprinkled grated cheese. The Thai curry soup was bland, lukewarm with a few noodles with one slice of mushroom and two thin slivers of red onion. Horrible soup. I will never eat here again. Oh, and the restaurant is dirty. For a place that's located in downtown Naperville, I am in disbelief. read more

The staff at this particular Noodles is always a delight. They are friendly and informative. The restaurant is kept clean, and the food is always a yummy delight! This is a warm, welcoming place to meet with friends, chill by yourself, or enjoy dinner with the family! read more

I come here usually during my breaks at work in downtown Naperville. Very friendly staff, new employee Ann is so sweet !

This particular Noodles has the best customer service! I'm ashamed to admit how much I come here. I work in DT Napes and that carby yummy comfort food is my reward for putting up with work crap (yeah emotional eater, so what) The first time I was here on my lunch break they were a little slow with my order. The manager noticed that I was annoyed so he proceeded to hand me "oops" coupons for TWO free meals. I thought that was so nice that I decided to try them again. On one visit when I presented my coupon they THANKED me for giving them another chance. A small thank you can go a long way! I was sold. I've eaten lunch there countless times since, each and every time they are very friendly and the food is always consistant and up to par with Noodles & Co in general. Pasta fresca with tofu.. good options for vegetarian! LOVE IT! read more

Always a great meal and a great value! Heck, we're there at least once or twice a week! The staff is always very friendly and a convenient location. Highly recommended! read more
