This is a hidden gem for lunch. The weekday lunch special prices are very reasonable and the food is delicious.

The place looks like a local Chinese place, a bit rundown which is good. They have a nice little choose your own condiments bar. I can tell the egg is quite flavorful but is a bit old. The beef is hard and not tender at all. The noodles are quite nice and slippery. The server was very kind. If not for the server I may have just got up and left. Joking. The broth was great and warm while the added condiment only enhanced the flavor even more. I would give this place a 3 stars as the was alright and nothing extraordinary. read more

Noodles & I - Beef Btisket Rice Noodle with Spiced Egg - Noodles Near Me - West Lafayette, Indiana

A small noodle shop with a variety of Chinese entrees. They had a good number of customers around 1pm, it's a tiny shop on a slow street next to the library. We ordered the braided beef noodle soup, pot stickers, steamed dumplings and a Chow Fun with beef. The beef was the same for both, I think they use just the braided beef shank for both dishes, (sliced thin and tender). The beef noodle soup didn't have too strong flavor - clear, but the portion was good. This was not the spicy Taiwanese style, but I did expect a darker beef broth. I could have used some cilantro and maybe chili oil at the table. The noodles were likely made in-house as it seemed like each noodle was at least 2 feet long. The dumplings were dumplings, I didn't expect much when I ordered them. The Chow Fun was oily, not a long of chow fun, more bean sprouts. The flavor was good though. I wouldn't search out Noodles and I, but the pricing was good. I just wish portions were a bit better on the Chow fun. But I think their specialty is the house made noodles in soup more than the full array of noodles dishes anyway. read more

Quick and cheap Asian food. Ordered the pho, broth was actually very good but they were pretty stingy with the beef and only gave like two slices. Cheap compared to other places. Order with a kiosk because of the lack of workers, which is understandable. read more

The kiosk threw me off a bit but I got what I ordered and absolutely enjoyed it. I asked the only server walking around for extra lime and he delivered. I can't remember if there was music playing. I was too enthralled with my soup that I hardly noticed how clean the place actually is. I will come back and hope to bring more friends with me. read more

I had a really bad experience here. The service was poor, and before I even found out there was a napkin in my friend's pho, I had only taken two bites from my own bowl. After that, I left it alone because the whole situation was so disgusting. When we brought it up, the staff accused us of doing it on purpose and kept saying, "we have cameras, we have cameras." I told them to please check the footage, but instead of addressing it, the guy stormed off to the back and no one wanted to talk to us anymore. They also refused to give us a full refund. Overall, it was a very disappointing and unprofessional experience. read more

We came in after walking around campus. We ordered beef noodle soup, ho fun with beef stir fried and dumplings and potstickers. Everything was just okay, nothing really stood out. But that was expected for a campus eatery. Ordering is done at a kiosk and then your food is brought to you. I would probably try a different place next time on campus. read more

Noodles & I - N3. No. 1 Seafood Noodle Soup and N8. Vegetable Ramen Soup - Noodles Near Me - West Lafayette, Indiana

Tidy corner bin turned cute Korean and Japanese good food stop, I can highly recommend especially after my friends already had told me they had great meals here. I picked the Monday dinner destination with them and found a clean, well managed, fast serving, and polite setup. Noticed electronic stations for quick self picks and takeout, many others turned out to get their orders and run off, has to be a solid choice for Asian cuisine when we white boys are the minority! Menu wasn't too odd for he translations, wished they had portion sizes or calories to help me decide on what is right for my appetite. Dumplings appetizer was way too small for how good it was. The two others went basic, fried noodles, ramen, and I had to get pad Thai with shrimp. Really like their self serve water infused with lime, extra special touch and I say that should be a common sip drip everywhere! So refreshing! Our entrees appeared, plates well covered and piled up, we all had a good time. Balanced spices and noodles done right across all three, surprising for me was a decent shrimp amount unlike most seafood options that are more skimpy than scampi. Pad Thai is the perfect cold spring day food, will get it again and need to try more of this menu. read more

Pretty good Chinese food! I ordered the N1 Braised Beef Noodle Soup and it was not bad! Obviously not fully authentic but for West Lafayette, Indiana, I definitely consider this good Asian food for the area. I do miss my SoCal Asian restaurants, but here I can at least get a little taste of home. Okay, so now about the noodles: the noodles were thin but held the flavorful broth to them. The noodles did not seem handmade which I wish it was. The beef was a little tough to bite but still had tenderness to it. The broth was really good and I finished it all. Overall, this dish was simple yet comforting. The price here is reasonable for the portions given, but definitely not cheap. I would come back here to get my fix of Chinese food so I'd like to try the other menu options! Glad to have an Asian restaurant near Purdue. read more

Today I was in West Lafayette picking-up my son for Thanksgiving break. I was hungry and had some time to kill. I thought Asian Noodles would be a good lunch option as I go hurtling belly-first into the food frenzy of the coming days. Be careful, Noodles & I is 1/2 block from Noodles & Company (is the name just a coincidence?). Don't get hung up on a name, this is a mom and pop shop, and the food crushes the nearby chain. I ordered the Chicken Ho Fun. It was very good. Service was fast and friendly and you can't beat the price: $9.99 for a generous portion. The restaurant is clean with plenty of seating. If you want Asian Noodles, skip the chain and dine here. You will be glad you did. read more

I am giving Noodles & I a 5 stars because they have the best Pho in West Lafayette--and I tried other restaurants' phos. Their service is magnificent as you will be able to pick-up your food within 10-15 minutes after your order. One thing to note is that their noodles are quite expensive ($13++). However, the portion is large. Life hack: get the Fatty Beef Pho instead of your regular beef pho because the beef is thinner, softer, and has some fat on it. It's delicious. The picture here is the Regular Beef Pho. read more

Noodles & I - V1. Vietnamese Pho with Beef - Noodles Near Me - West Lafayette, Indiana

Amazing attentive service, very friendly personnel, fast service, very generous food portions and amazing taste!!!

No service due to lack of workers available on campus in the summer, so I understand completely the reasoning for the kiosk. But unfortunately, we were presented with lackluster pho, and did not serve us the correct pho. We ordered triple meat pho, because they didnt have combination listed. They only gave us beef pho, and that was upsetting because we paid more for it. My partner and I even ordered up front, not at the kiosk, and we asked for no onion and had a detailed conversation about it with the gentleman taking our order, yet still ended up with lots of onion and the completely wrong dish. The broth was okay, but everything in the broth was lacking flavor. Odor floating around reminiscent of sewage. Will not be back unfortunately. read more

Around Purdue University campus, I ordered the beef congee for $7.59. The bowl was large but mostly comprised of water, some green onions, a little beef, and a strange texture of the rice. I knew that it was hot, but the food should not be super heated that I have to wait a very long time before eating; I am feeling the effects of a burned mouth. So overpriced and too hot. The staff was knowledgeable, very friendly, and patient. read more

I've come here for multiple years since starting at Purdue and I've always gotten the Shrimp Pad Thai. I think the ownership changed and since then, the food has changed. The Shrimp Pad Thai was extremely dry and bland. The shrimp had no seasoning. I'm so sad because this was my favorite place along with my favorite dish. There are kiosks or the counter that you order at. The food came out fast and was hot. Hopefully it was just a bad meal and will improve next time. read more

If you're looking for some good pho on campus, this is the place to go. I'm a pho maniac, so I definitely wanted to check this place out. It didn't disappoint. I had the beef pho, and it was delicious! They have some other options on the menu, but most of the entrees have some sort of noodle in it. If you dig noodles, this is definitely the place for you! Pros - The name says it all. They've got ramen, pho, mei fun, udon, lo mein and more! - Just order at the counter, and they bring it out to your table. - Reasonable prices - $8.99 for a big bowl o' pho! - Delivery and takeout available - Quiet and intimate, great for a date or a place to catch up with a friend. - Quick and friendly service - FREE WATER!!!!!! :D Cons - Not good for groups because it's a pretty small place. - There aren't servers, just one lady at the register who brings your food. - Parking is basically non-existent. We parked in the Chauncey Mall parking lot and walked over. read more

Nice and clean, perfect stop for hot spicy noodle soup. I love their fried dough stick oh mine, I was surprised how good they were and so affordable. read more

I really liked both the spring rolls and sesame balls. Everything served blazing hot, so take your time. The spicy beef soup was very tasty. Large bowl, reasonable amount of meat, small amount of bok choy and a tremendous amount of noodles. Hey, the place is called Noodles & I, so what should you expect? The Vietnamese Pho was excellent. As someone else stated, way better than Greenleaf. Richer texture broth with actual seasoning made all the difference. Only knocks on this place are that it's pretty small and expensive. Food was great. read more

Foods are great!!! Service is also awesome! I love their Padthai and Thierry Vietnamese soup as well

3.5 stars. Simple noodle shop. The Experience: Nice casual noodle spot. Service was friendly and prompt. The Food: Potstickers: simple fried potstickers. Tasty, well cooked and fresh. Spring rolls: small fresh and tasty. DanDan- noodles were great. The sauce was rich, peanuty, and maybe even a little greasy, they had this lovely peppery condiment on the table that helped spice it up. Beef noodles- rich beefy broth, noodles cooked perfectly and lots of beef. Over all this was good. Well probably go back. read more

** 3.5 stars!! ** I usually go here for pho and spring rolls. It's definitely tasty, but sort of has the feel of having been thrown together out of its basic ingredients; i.e. it is no greater than the sum of its parts. That isn't to say it isn't good food, but I do wish there was something more to it. That being said, it is my go-to spot for when I'm craving pho and the location is very cute. read more

A convient little shop about 2 blocks from the Purdue student union. My wife, oldest daughter and I were visiting Purdue before we send Lauren off this fall. It was a chilly night and some piping hot pho sounded perfect. It was a Sunday and the place was packed! Plenty of students kept pouring in looking for good food at a fair price. We had the beef pho, chicken pho and pad Thai. read more

Okay pho. Not extremely flavorful and only a few slices of meat. But it hit the spot. My teenage son got fried udon noodles with shrimp and ate it all. read more

This place is a fairly new addition to West Lafayette, and I'm glad I tried it out before I leave to graduate! I got the spicy beef noodle soup, and it was pretty good. I think they have the best beef noodles on campus, but the soup does get a bit oily. My friend got the Vietnamese Pho and that was actually a lot better than Green Leaf! It was surprising because last year when she went she said the pho wasn't good so she wanted to give it a try here again, and she's glad she did. I'm definitely getting the Vietnamese pho next time I come here!!! read more

My favorite place for a bowl of noodles. I love their pho here! Much better than other restaurants in the area. You order and pay up front, then the server brings the food out to you and boy are they quick!! This will definitely be my go-to spot near campus for a nice bowl of noodle soup. I highly recommend! read more

This place was super cute and convenient. It's located where Maru Sushi was before it moved across the street, and though the look may have completely changed, Noodles & I managed to keep the initiate, tucked away, almost cafe-like vibe. It's now a lot lighter and has a clean aesthetic to it. Solid Asian noodle place with Japanese, Chinese (Cantonese, Beijing Sichuan), Taiwanese, Korean, Thai, and Singapore flavors. A+++ on variety! Completely different from Noodle and Company, and I feel like the flavor profiles are so different that there's no competition (there is). Service was quick, place has a very clean feel to it. Excellent for date night, friends night out, the aftermath of breakfast club, and late night study sessions. Especially because it's just around the corner from study spots like Vienna and Greyhouse. REALLY good for winter nights or when you're getting a quick, sit-down lunch between classes or work (and Maru Sushi is too full). Won't lie, this isn't the best place for vegetarians or vegans. Most of the dishes have some sort of meat. There are definitely more options if you're a pescetarian, as there's a good number of seafood options. However, it's first rate from anyone lactose-intolerant or allergic to milk. My first time, I came here with my club's treasurer for a late dinner on Monday (Maru Sushi was closed). It was definitely steered more towards an Asian crowd. While I excited at all the options like the fried udon, roast duck noodle, and the Dan Dan noodles, my friend (I'd only introduced him to Panda Express, Yummy Time, Maru Sushi, and Basil Thai by that point) was very confused. I ended up ordering the Singapore Mee Fu and he got the Braised Beef Noodle. I was REALLY happy with my Singapore Mee Fun, as it had been the year after I'd lived and worked for a couple of months in Singapore. After my time there, I missed the unique flavors from there and this made me really happy. However, my friend was really confused because Taiwanese Braised Beef Noodle soup apparently doesn't taste anything like American beef noodle soup. The way the beef was cooked confused him, the noodles confused him, and he kept asking why they put a whole egg in it. Overall though, he didn't hate. So just heads up for if you or a friend you want to bring are not as familiar with Asian cuisine. I encourage anyone to visit if they have time! read more

I feel like the name of this place might throw people off (especially since it is across from Noodles & Company). There's definitely a lot of flavor in these dishes in respect to that OTHER noodle place. For my first time visit I got the Vietnamese Pho with beef. There's a handful of pho options, but you gotta go with the Vietnamese one right. My bowl of pho was a large, expected size, but very easy to consume for a lunch. It came out quickly, piping hot. It was a little on the salty side, but all in all, that's some good lunchtime pho. PHO-NOMENAL! My friend got the pad thai, and he was also pleased with his meal. I will be coming back to try other dishes for sure. Places like this need the business. Plus it's got a nice sit-down restaurant feel, but you just order and pay up front and then leave when you're done. That's bonus convenience worth expressing. Noodle & I?

A favorite among our friends when we want something hot, hearty, and fast. Food comes out quick and in decently sized portions. The braised beef, pho, and korean fatty beef are all good and are great recovery foods after a long night. While the food is good, it is a bit on the pricier side for what you get hence the 4 stars. read more

Our first visit to Noodles & I was okay. The service wasn't great... we had to refill our own waters the whole time. The boys loved the braised beef noodle soup with James claiming it was "the best soup ever!" The gyoza and spring rolls were yummy too. I was pretty disappointed in the Dan-Dan noodles. They were really basic and one dimensional and had an unfortunate texture from using peanut butter in the sauce. We went with a large group, and I think others liked their noodle dishes- pad Thai and lo mein got decent reviews from friends. read more

Wonderful selection of noodle and congee dishes, I'm working my way through the menu and have loved everything so far. I was especially excited by the Pho, which is by far the best in town. Such a delicious, flavorful broth! Be warned it gets very busy mid week at lunchtime because of the students, but it's worth the wait! read more

SOOOOO BAD! They call themselves an Asian restaurant but they use spaghetti noodles for their ramen. Also boofy greasy liquids in the spicy chicken ramen. Not only did it look unappetizing but the chicken was practically rubber :( bad place. Wish I could give them 0 stars but this app does not allow for that! read more
