Noodles and Company

The pad tai is always a good option for me. I’ve had it several times and have never had an issue. Some locations seem more knowledgeable then others but overall it’s an option.

Aks for GF and an allergy pan, they will always do that. Have eaten at this place many times and never had any issues, and I am Celiac

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Found a regular noodle😢. Such a small kitchen so it's too easy for cross contamination

Celiac friendly?

No

They try to accommodate. Though they believe the only thing they need to do to make it gluten free is replace the noodles with gluten free ones. they don't think about the sauces and such.

Gf pad Thai is always a great standby.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

helpful in accommodating

basically only noodles (as the name suggests) so if you have celiac or a gluten sensitivity I wouldn't eat here even if you get something without gluten there is still a very high chance for cross contamination.

Noodles was my go-to fast casual spot before I was diagnosed (and I used to work there a few decades ago!) and I’ve been thrilled to see them enhance their gluten free options, training, and customer info. The server asked if it was a preference or allergy so the right preparation could be made for my meal, and I had no reaction afterwards. Have gone a few times now and so far so good!

I had the pad Thai dish. They corrected and warned me that their marinated steak was not GF and suggested the grilled chicken instead, and seemed knowledgeable and took it seriously.

This Noodles & Co is one of my GF go-tos. I am not sensitive to cross contamination just as an FYI. But I feel like between the posted menu and their website, it is easy to make a dish GF with one of their GF noodle options. It always tastes good and I’ve never had an issue.

Eaten here twice, both times with good results. Not a huge selection of GF, but pad Thai was pretty good and staff seemed very knowledgeable and friendly.
