Noodles Company - Mishawaka

This was my first time dining at this restaurant, and I initially thought it was a bit pricey. However, after tasting my dish, I realized it was definitely worth the cost! They also have the best Rice Krispie treats!

It was okay. My noodles were so dry, I had to add water to it just to eat it. It said it was supposed to be spicy, as well, and it unfortunately wasn 't at all. Kinda pricy, too. I personally wouldn 't go back, but not saying anything negative about theestablishment! Just not my cup of tea.

I have ordered N&C Pad Thai before and really enjoyed it. The taste is authentic. Tonight both my husband and I ordered Pad Thai. The noodles were not cooked. They weren't soft at all. It completely ruined the dish. Very disappointed.

The two tortellini dishes we ordered—the Rosa and Pesto—were overcooked and mushy, so we ended up discarding them. The spaghetti with meatballs was also overdone but somewhat acceptable; however, the marinara sauce was strangely sour, and the meatballs, which were a bit burnt and lacked sauce, were dry and had an unexpected sweetness to them. The Rosa Penne with Parmesan-Crusted Chicken was mediocre at best. The only dish I would rate as fair to good was the Wisconsin Mac and Cheese. Did I just catch them on a bad day, or is it something about this location or the company itself? I tipped 15% for an online pickup, which I believe is a fair amount—not insulting at all. The person who took my order at the counter and handed me my food was friendly and helpful; I have no complaints in that regard. However, I'm not sure if we’ll give them another chance.

I had the opportunity to see why the restaurant only accepts online orders on August 8, 2022. It was quite busy, with about 20 people arriving and ordering simultaneously. One customer had to rush out and ended up getting a refund because they had to return to work. There was only one woman cooking everything at once, but she did an excellent job with my creamy garlic tortellini (I substituted broccoli for the mushrooms). It was definitely worth the wait! The cashier was very friendly, even though she was managing a lot of requests and complaints. I hope this location can hire more staff soon!
