Review
I found a piece of gluten pasta in my dish, mixed in with the GF fusilli. Luckily I hadn't started eating yet. I encountered the same problem at a different Noodles location (that time I did get very sick) so I avoid all locations now. Definitely not safe for Celiacs.
Review
Overall Noodles n Co is pretty good. This location hasn't cooked the fusili noodles correctly anytime I've been there.

Very good system intended to help protect GF diners. Managers have to swipe register acknowledging that a GF order was place and they presumably follow up with cooks to make sure precautions are taken. I've had mostly good luck, but there certainly has been times during lunch rush where they must not have cleaned cooking surfaces well and cross contamination has occurred.
Review
Great food and friendly, great service. They know what you are talking about when you tell them you have an allergy. Rice noodles work with any dish and now they have new gluten free noodles advertised on the tables.

Review
Pad Thai is a good choice for gluten avoiders. They make gluten free noodles but I’m not sure about cross contamination. Many of the sauces have gluten, including the Mac and cheese sauce. Employee was knowledgeable and helpful. This is a good choice for a quick stir fry.

They have separate cookware they use for allergies and take cross contact very seriously. I have always been happy with the attention they take with my order when I mention gluten allergy.

The staff is really friendly and open to answer questions about their menu. The guy at the register even went to confirm the Alfredo sauce didn't have gluten for me.
