Noodles & Company

Noodles & Company
2274 N. Eagle Rd., Suite 100
Meridian, ID 83646
+1-208-884-3379
 
Chain of >100 "fast casual" restaurants specializing in noodle dishes with international influences ("American", "Asian", "Mediterranean").  For a rapidly-growing chain, the food is relatively decent.  The Indonesian Peanut Saute is spicy (more than one would expect from a chain) but without being over the top.  The roast pork (a recent addition to the meat selections on the menu) was tasty and tender, but the flavor didn't really mesh with the Indonesian dish.  It would likely be better with the American-themed dishes.  The noodles were somewhat gluey on our to-go order, but that might be a result of the 20 minutes or so between picking up the order and actually eating it.  Eating in is likely to be a better option.
 
The soup choices (chicken noodle, Thai curry, tomato basil) seem rather limited and uncreative for a noodle house.  Would be nice to see an Asian-inspired noodle soup on the menu.
