text: For me Noodles Company is a nice change of pace with a good variety to satisfy most people in your party I have been here a couple of times as well as locations in other citiesnnI do not disagree Noodles may not be the best value for a college student Good thing I have a job I appreciate the variety offered with standard American fare mac and cheese meatballs to Asian flare Japanese noodles pad thai Granted none of the bowls will astonish you in the taste bud department but I think it is a nicer option than your other Forbes Ave choices such as Chipotle Primantis or Five Guys
