Noodles and Company

Noodles offers gluten free noodles but they don’t offer dedicated separation.... we got rice noodles and specifically told the manager it was for gluten allergy.... we found five macaronis in the rice noodles.

Celiac friendly?

No

They do not have separate pans for their gluten free food. When I went, I had regular pasta noodles mixed in with my gluten free ones. If you are trying to cut back on eating gluten, this could work for you. However, if you need to avoid gluten for allergy or celiac purposes, I highly do not recommend going here.

Celiac friendly?

No

we were told they changed suppliers and only the pad thai is gf. they let my daughter order gf noodles with a newly not gf sauce and didn't tell her.

I get rice noodles, because the gf ones are extra and corn-based.

They no longer have separate pans for allergies and are now only for people who are "cutting back on gluten" and not "gluten free"

Celiac friendly?

No

Nice option

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have gluten free pasta you can substitute but I’ve found regular noodles in my dish plenty of times. I don’t have celiac, just a bad intolerance so it’s okay for me but I wouldn’t recommend to those with celiac due to cross contamination.

I am not Celiac but am extremely allergic to gluten. I get their Pad Thia all the time with zero reaction at all! I have also gotten their Mac and cheese with gluten free noodles.

It’s great if they get it right.. which is about 75% of the time. I’ve had problems with cross contamination (elbow macaroni in my gf mac) and just having the whole order come with gluten noodles instead of gf or zoodles. Just be aware that your food is made by a rushed person in a small kitchen and be cautious and double check your food when you get it.

They say they take precautions to prevent cross contamination but they do not do a good job.

The first time I went there I ordered Mac & cheese with grilled chicken and found a piece of breaded chicken in my Mac & cheese. I took it back, they remade it and this time they gave me regular Mac & cheese with wheat noodles. I took it back again, and spoke to the manager. On the 3rd attempt they got it right.

The last time I went I got some sort of chicken zoodles. I told them I was celiac and needed it gf. They said they were happy to take all the extra precautions. This time when I got my food I found a wheat noodle in there.

Whatever precautions they take are a joke. They do not take gluten free seriously. I would not recommend to anyone who is sensitive to cross contamination ever!

I found out after from a family member, that a manager had told her they cook their grilled Chicken on the same pan as fried chicken. Only the steak and shrimp are gluten free. I’m not sure why they didn’t tell me this all the times I ordered gf and they told me they’d take precautions to prevent cross contamination.

I would not recommend to anyone who is very sensitive to gluten.

Half hearted attempt with the zoodles, but they must recreate their gluten free list to ignore the default carb (often wheat containing noodles... makes the whole dish look inedible when a modification might solve that). Also same "terrible if also dairy free" issue that America seems to have.

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 at this location.

HOWEVER, I have gotten sick at another location twice. So this review is very location specific.

My family loves the rest of the menu!

Stopped here on a road trip, ordered buttered noodles to play it safe. Told them I had celiac and needed gluten free noodles boiled in fresh water. They said ok, but I found a regular noodle in the bottom of my bowl. Was sick for the rest of the road trip.

I enjoy their food and you can substitute gf noodles for most dishes, however, they are not good at all with cross contamination. My family has had stray noodles (not the gf ones ordered) in our dishes almost every time we’ve ordered from here.

Update: This place, the last 4 years (2016-2020) have the most lazy, non caring workers serving this restaurant. Its like they purposely put regular noodles in your food. Then, if you want it fixed, no lie, it suddenly takes 45 minutes to do it. Such a bad experience time and time again, that we just gave up eating at this location.

The place appears to double check orders by requiring key when entering all unordinary orders sent to cook. This brings key carrier to double check and ask questions if necessary, and alerts cook that an allergy menu item is ordered. Great system to prevent mishaps. Staff are knowledgeable and courteous, gf noodles are yummy, and it's easy access off I-24.

The lady at the counter seemed very knowledgeable about allergies so i felt confident eating here. She knew which noodles were gluten free and which items could be made gluten free. I thought I would be safe because she marked my food “allergy alert” but I ended up with a canker sore which is my number 1 sign I’ve been glutened.

On their website they have an allergy guide that’s very helpful. They have gluten free shell noodles but some of the sauces still contain gluten.

The manager Nino was so helpful! He answered my questions, told me what they do to keep celiacs safe, and took extra precautions without even asking.

I got the Mac and cheese with the shell pasta. So good it tasted just like I remember the normal Mac and cheese tasting!

Veggie noodles (spiralized) are probably safer than pasta here.

I’ve eaten GF at N&C 100+ times. I’m celiac. I understand the risk. Today I ordered pasta bowl w GF pipette shells and a side mac & cheese w GF pipette shells. Both of them had GF pipette shells but both of them had a different single noodle as well...perhaps an egg noodle? I discovered this late while eating. I probably won’t get sick but that tells me maybe they used a dirty colander or a dirty spoon that had an old noodle on it.

Got really sick immediately after eating the gluten sensitive zoodles. I don't recommend if you have celiac or an allergy

Although they can’t guarantee no cross contact, I have eaten their gluten free pipette pasta with butter probably 100 times. Ive never had an issue with getting sick.

A lot of options for restricted diets. Unfortunately, the food lacks flavor and high quality ingredients. Both my kids and I didnt finish our meals....even the salad was lackluster.

Don't eat here. I went when they were busy, did the whole I'm celiac gluten free song and dance. I ended up cross contaminated to the point where I was screaming in an ambulance and went to the ER given lots of pain meds to cope. Which takes a LOT of cross contamination. They ended up making my gluten free noodles in the same pot as regular noodles. Never again.

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?

Yes

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.

Celiac friendly?

No

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.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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

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.

Celiac friendly?

No

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.

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

Celiac friendly?

No

Staff was knowledgeable and made food in separate pan.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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?

No

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.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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.

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

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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.

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.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free noodles are pretty good

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.
