If you go in with the mentality that it is a fast casual dining restaurant it is great... if you are looking for fine dining I'd go elsewhere

Everybody was telling me how awesome this place was. They tell me it is the best Mac & Cheese they have ever had. Getting one in Eau Claire, I decide to check it out for myself (being a big fan of Mac & Cheese). The person taking my order seemed very irritated and very unfriendly. When I received my “Wisconsin Mac & Cheese”, I was shocked to find an ice-cold bowl of Macaroni Cheese Flavored Soup. I have no plans of ever going back to this location. PLEASE NOTE: The people telling me how awesome this place was have never been to this location. They were referring to other locations in Wisconsin.

Nothing special for the price, spend your money on a decent meal somewhere else.

They have the most delicious mac and cheese Ive ever tasted! Nothing else like it around. Reasonably priced for how much food you get, I always have left overs! The pad thai is also very good

If you like pasta, you'll love noodles! GREAT vegetarian options! Portions are smaller (but better for the waistline)

Noodles isn't bad. If you want yourself a quick noodle fix, it'll do. The Asian-style dishes are probably my favorite.

I seriously enjoy their pad thai (although I always have to pay for extra sauce because I find the noodles to be on the dry side), and potstickers. I had one bad experience, but the manager was amazingly helpful and very genuinely concerned.

Pretty good food, but it can be kind of crowded during lunch time.

When it's time for takeout or just a quick bite, this is a nice alternative to subs or burgers. The food is always flavorful and the staff pretty friendly. I'm fond of the asian portion of the menu, especially the Japanese Pan Noodles and Indonesian Peanut Sautee (though the Pad Thai tastes a bit like farm to me). I've gotta express my gripe here, though, that the portion sizes have definitely gotten smaller recently. Especially the meat add-ons, which have gone from meager to miniscule, while also going up in price.

It's a pasta place but NOT Italian. Although the place is really loud, the food is very flavorful at a great price. If you're a vegetarian on a budget, there's no better place to go around here.

Great food. Great service. Love that you can just get the classics here. It has never been a disappointment.

It's a chain so I like to avoid raving about chain restaurants, but I have always been very satisfied with the food here. It is cheap and you get a good serving and it is actually made fresh right when you order (maybe not the noodles but the vegies).

I have eaten here many times. When they first opened the food quality was great. Since then the prices have gone up, and the food quality has gone down.

I like the bancock curry and I love that you get lots of veggies, but it's a little overpriced for what you get. I only eat there maybe 4 times a year.

I love love love the house marinara with seared chicken!!!!!! my husband always tells me to try something new (and I have) but its just not the same for me. once I ordered this and got egg noodles instead of penne noodles and they made me a new one without question since the cook shouldnt have made it that way in the first place.

I love this place. I think the Asian & Mediterranean dishes are quite tasty & think kupfertj must be ordering the whitebread options like chicken noodle soup or Mac n Cheese. The ingredients are super-healthy & the staff is great about modifying the ingredients to your specific preferences. They also have a nice pamphlet that allows you to easily figure out where the fat/fibre/sodium/calories are, so you can adjust the components as needed, if you are watching your diet. I love the chopsticks & fashionably modern dinnerware, which is pretty cool for a place where you order at the counter & don't have to worry about forking out a tip to some snooty waitstaff.

I'm not a very big fan of Noodles. The three things I've tried have been pretty bland and I have to add some sauces to give it flavor. But when you've got a picky girlfriend (or you're picky yourself), it'll do just fine.

The Wisconsin Mac & Cheese is to die for. While it's overpriced for noodles and cheese, you need to try it at least once. It's got shredded cheese melting on the top, which gives it a different flavor and texture.

They do exactly what they advertise very well. The ingredients are fresh and the dishes are well seasoned. Something for everyone, asian, italian and american. I really like the ciabatta rolls they have. One gripe about our local Noodles...they could get the sweeper out a little more often!

We really like this restaurant, though we're usually not a fan of chains. The food is really well prepared and generous with ingredients. The set-up, order as you come in, works well. And my favorite part - it's a quality dining experience with real stuff - cool triangular plates, tall glass glasses and heavy well-balanced forks.
