Celiac friendly?

No

Was not gluten free. I could see remnants from the dish prior to mine made in the same pan. Was already home so I chucked it. Waste.

have made this a regular lunch stop. the pad Thai contains gf ingredients only. i add the shrimp as it is sautéed in a pan not on grill. consistent quality and good price. you can tell person taking your order to flag it with a gluten allergy. have not tried the pasta.

Celiac friendly?

No

Make sure they cool the gluten free pasta in separate pan and new water. Had mine come out with macaroni noodles in it. Manager made a new one, but could have been a real issue.

Celiac friendly?

No

Flavorful, fresh food. Not an entirely gluten free kitchen, but they do offer GF pasta and some rice noodle dishes. More variety than most gluten free menus I have seen.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This noodles and co is the best!!! I always call in my order and speak to the manager about my gluten allergy. I’ve never gotten sick. Highly recommend! The pipette GF noodles are so great!

Celiac friendly?

No

5 stars if you're gluten intolerant. They have a lot of absolutely delicious options. However, it is NOT celiac friendly. Not this location, at least. They put their noodles in the same boiling water. I got sick the last time I ate here amd asked if the noodles were all cooked together with regular ones and they confirmed that they were.

Delicious gluten free shells. Lately I’ve been getting it with pesto, chicken or shrimp. Yummy! I have celiac, and have not been sick yet.

Comment

My family loves the rest of the menu!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I have celiac and have eaten at this location several times without problems. My favorite is the shrimp pad Thai! The coconut curry soup is also delicious. Lots of gf options.

I love you good it’s so good the mc in cheese is the best and the rice crispy treats 😁yumm in my tum

Celiac friendly?

No

When I ordered, I literally told the person 3 different times that I needed my food gf and that I had celiac’s, so please be extra careful with the order. When our food came out, my order was obviously not gf. When I brought it to their attention, I was asked rudely if I ordered it gf. They grudgingly fixed it, but I didn’t feel safe eating the gf replacement.

Not Celiac friendly at all. Despite my clear request for strictly GF order, there were udon noodles mixed in with zucchini noodles. I'm just glad I didn't ingest them.

Celiac friendly?

No

Gluten free menu with available substitute rice noodles. Even with allergy alert I still got sick.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was knowledgeable and made food in separate pan.

Celiac friendly?

No

Stopped by for lunch today and my daughter got extremely sick even when they marked it for an allergy.

Celiac friendly?

No

Worst noodles I have ever eaten at.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The gluten free options are all very tasty, however I do wish there were more options. If I need a quick bite to eat I know I can stop here.

When ordering gluten free pasta, they will ask if it is for preference or an allergy. If you say it is for an allergy a manager has to swipe her card and enter a code so they can treat the order properly. I have never had a reaction when eating here.

So I haven't ordered anything with a grilled protein, so I can not speak to the certainty of their protocols, but every time I've ordered from them, I've been satisfied with the food & NEVER gotten sick.

they have updated their gluten-free pasta and it is AMAZING!! I only ate half my mac & cheese, so I reheated it the next day expecting it to be mush..I was thrilled with how good the pasta was.

Offers delivery through doordash.

I love eating the new Zoodle dishes. I have done really well at Noodles and Company.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The gf mac is amazing they marked me as allergy and i have had no problems so happy!

Noodles and Co has recently updated their gluten free noodles. They now offer two kinds: regular rice noodles and shells. They are SO good! I have had their gluten free mac n cheese, penne rosa, and pad Thai. All three are absolutely delicious! Let them know if you have Celiac so they can take extra precautions. The staff is always friendly and the food is brought out quickly. Very affordable prices. One of my favorite places to stop for lunch.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Michel, the cashier who helped me, was very friendly and knowledgeable. I can’t say enough great things about her. She had no issue pulling up the nutritional info and letting me know about the GF and DF options. She even gave me a tiny pamphlet called Gluten Guide. The zoodles and rice noodles were delicious. She said for chicken, they scrape the grill. We’re not celiac, just intolerant, so I wasn’t too concerned but she told me the pork and tofu are safe from cross-contamination. The Japanese Pan and Pad Thai are the DF options and we got rice noodles with both. The spicy Korean we ordered with zoodles, and it was yummy. It was more than decent for food in a mall. That’s the only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because the food is great but not amazing. It’s away from the food court on the upper level, and we’ll remember to stop here and let the kids play at the playground when we’re on our way through Wichita again.

Noodles is always a wonderful choice for us: kids and adults with celiac. Very accommodating.

I eat here once a week because I know it’s one of the only places I can go out to eat without getting sick. Pad Thai with shrimp, pasta Fresca with gf noodles, Mac and cheese with gf noodles, and steak stroganoff with gf noodles are all celiac safe. Love this place!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have a really good allergy menu and have quite a few items that are gluten free. I always get the pad Thai and never get sick. This is one of my favorite go-to places for quick, gluten free food.

Gluten free noodles are pretty good

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I got Mac and cheese with gf noodles and it was good. They say you can put gf noodles in any dish, but I was not sure if the sauces were safe. No reaction afterwards.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I’ve eaten here a couple of times and the staff was very friendly and helpful each time.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Pretty good with cross-contamination. Overall a good place for gluten-free food.

We go there all the time, never any issues!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I’ve eaten here a couple times and never had any issues. My favorite place to grab a quick dinner. I also love how the website will offer order suggestions for you if you’re not sure what pasta and toppings are gluten free.

Celiac friendly?

No

They claim to be “gluten sensitive” but they are not. There is wheat in the pesto sauce, according to the cashier in Cottage Grove, MN.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Dedicated GF menu. Staff very knowledgeable about cross contamination. Most of their items can be made GF and it’s good.

I enjoy the Gf pipet Mac and the pesto zoodles add chicken. They always ask allergy or preference-I say allergy since I’m celiac. The noodles are probably a bit al dente for some, but the sauce makes up for it to me. Haven’t had any reactions and eat here frequently.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Eaten here many times, never been glutened. Highly recommend!

Pad Thai is GF and they will ask if it’s an intolerance and will take precautions.

I’ve never had issues after eating their gluten free noodles. It’s one of my favorite safe places to eat!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I have eaten here many times and have had no bad reactions. Great place with lots of options. 2 choices of noodles and you can make it any way you like. Though only the pad Thai noodles are only rice. The other gf noodles have corn in them.

Celiac friendly?

No

Twice they have gotten me sick. They used to be great and super careful with my orders but now I won’t go back. Finding other noodles mixed in and breading the chicken even when it’s run under allergy is just ridiculous.

I didn’t realize they have a gf menu. If you go onto their website it will let you create a allergen menu specific to you. The gf pasta tasted so good! I had to add it as a recommendation!

Celiac friendly?

No

They brought me gluten free Mac with parm crusted chicken and my wife the crispy jalapenos. Both gluten.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great gluten free pasta!! Most dishes can be made substituting steak for meatballs and using either fazoli or rice noodles. I also love the phad tai and the tomato basil bisque. I’ve been to this location and the chain multiple times. They always take extra precaution to prevent cross-contamination.

GF pasta options, their available ones are still really good!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I go here a ton, every time the staff are so understanding. Just make sure to say the dish is for an allergy.

Celiac friendly?

No

DO NOT GO HERE. Seriously a complete and utter lack of understanding of gluten sensitivity. After watching them prepare my wife’s food in all the exact same areas as the regular noodles. They brought it out and I explained that is not gluten free, the manager at the time apologized and brought it back. I again went out to watch them make it. The manager explained to the person cooking we were returning our food. They both laughed and shook their heads. Seriously?!? The person preparing the food then started to cook it the same way, in the exact same areas as before. In the past when eating at Noodles when we brought up a “gluten allergy” a manager had to come and verify the order with their code. I have no idea why this is not in place at this store. This whole store needs a complete retraining. I will be contacting the store manager Monday morning for the utter lack of respect and understanding of gluten free allergies.

Not at all friendly to Gf. Staff had no idea what Gf was even though it was listed in the menu. Only gave one star because I had too. Would not recommend.

I have had good luck with the Zoodles there. They just got rid of their Allergy Alert button and went Gluten Sensitive instead of Gluten free for their items. Make sure to specify celiac, and ask them to yell it back to the meal prep team and they will. Join their Eating Gluten Sensitive at Noodles FB page and weigh in. They listen fairly well.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place is so great for people with celiacs. So many options!

I have celiacs and my son is gluten intolerant. We have eaten here quite frequently and have not had any problems.

Celiac friendly?

No

I stopped eating at Noodles many years ago as I had numerous reactions when eating GF options at any of their locations. I noticed online that it seems that some locations were taking additional steps to help prevent cross contamination so I decided to give them another chance. Over the last few months I had the "gluten friendly" mac and cheese with grilled chicken and have not had any problems. I feel comfortable eating at Noodles moving forward.

Celiac friendly?

No

Food tasted good, however, I specifically asked if they change gloves and have handling processes for gluten allergies. She said yes, but an hour later my stomach is responding to the meal.

Most of the time, I have a good experience here. However, once I had a random gluten noodle in my food, and tonight ordered Pad Thai, only to get home and find out (after calling because the noodles looked different) that they ran out of rice noodles and decided (without asking or telling me) to substitute for the ramen noodles. I will say that it's partly my fault tonight I was in a hurry and didn't type in "gluten allergy" in the comments. However, as they put these things on their website as gluten-free, I felt it was important to give anyone else a heads up to ALWAYS check your food when you order here.

Celiac friendly?

No

They told me the gluten friendly Mac n cheese is gluten free. It isn’t. Stay away from any of the mac n cheese here, non of it is gluten free.
