Reviews for Noodles and Company in Des Moines, IA
Arrived like 40 minutes before close to place a to go order. As soon as I walked in I received a dirty look and a line cook... shaking his head. Definitely understand having a long day, but usually would think they would wait till a customer left lol!I?ve worked in food service for years so I know how it is, but the entire environment seemed very negative. It?s not the firsttime I?ve received this kind of energy unfortunately. I also noticed when I got home, the food wasn?t prepared how it usuallywould be and wasn?t balanced with the toppings. Usually wouldn?t care enough to comment at all, but I hoping for a smile with mycomfort food when grabbing dinner after being sick from my pregnancy all day. Definitely understand and hope it lightens up sooncause you guys are usually awesome!! Just food for thought. ???? Read more
Went today ordered a reg pad Thai with no eggs add tofu. First there was no tofu. They got the no egg part right but also there... was no other ingredients. Not to mention. The bowl was only half full. Read more
Decent fast food pasta. They were cleaning up inside, getting ready to close, so we sat outside... for some reason there was... crumbled concrete covering the patio, and dried sauce on the tables, trash... looked like no employees had been out there fordays! I'm knocking the rating down a 2nd star because Counter Guy refused to give water cups to 3 teens who arrived on bikes,then overheard him say to his staff "now you have seen my dark side." We won't be back. ???? Read more
This was my first time visit at this restaurant. There were several toppings you could choose from & they would put it on a bowl... of noodles. I had spaghetti with spaghetti sauce. It was ok, nothing special about it. It cost more than I thought it was worththough. It was ok for a fast, eat & go resturant. I guess if you're really into pasta bowls, you would enjoy it. Read more
The manager with the curly redish brown hair and glasses had a whole attitude for no good reason. We asked for chopsticks and... she got very hostile and snappy. I understand everyone has bad days, but dont take it out on people who have otherwise been niceto you, we were a party of 3 just trying to celebrate our friends birthday. We were polite through the whole thing, I did pointout that I didn't understand why she had an attitude with us since we did not have one with her. She was very unprofessional, wedidn't get angry that she didn't ring in part of our order, we didn't demand anything. We just asked for a utensil. Read more
I do love this place. No matter what you order on the menu youare in for a surprise and a delicious treat. Although the staff... does get a little chatty you overlook it because of the relaxed atmosphere and clean eating areas. Read more
The Mac and cheese had literally no cheese, the only sauce was this thin, oily liquid. You can see it pooled up in the photo.... It's maybe one tablespoon of "sauce" and it doesn't resemble cheese in anyway. By contrast, my meal (the spicy korean noodles)was absolutely drowning in sauce. So much so, that it was basically inedible. Super disappointing. The tofu was cooked reallywell and the barbeque pork was yummy, everything else sucked. Read more
The food was good. Service (waiting to get our food) was a little slow. Also, the person taking our order didn't give us the... cauliflower noodles when we asked for it, and he didn't include it on the order. Read more
