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

It was wonderful! We talked to the man at the register, who told us that the gluten-free pasta is all cooked separately, and they will fully wash a pan to make the gluten-free food. It was very tasty, as well. Unlike many of the other franchises in this chain, I was very safe, and didn’t have any cross-contamination issues. It was wonderful!

You can order your food gf and they will ask if it’s a preference or an allergy…but I definitely got glutened last time I was there. Other times I’ve been fine, so it’s kind of hit or miss.

I ordered pad thai which is made with rice noodles and listed as gluten sensitive. I ordered through the app and noted on my order in the comment section “GLUTEN ALLERGY” as I was told to do in store on a previous visit. I was told this would alert the staff to clean the cooking surface. The lid to my meal was marked “gluten free” but when I got it home and had eaten several bites, I found an udon noodle in my food. This place is not safe for people with celiac disease.

Ive been coming here for over a year and haven’t had any problems until recently - twice in the last month I’ve gotten gluten noodles in my gluten free bowl. It’s no longer a safe restaurant

Good options, but nothing special. Has gf pipette noodles, and a rice noodles, that is also gluten free, and used in all of the Asian dishes. Each time we go it is a bit different, depending on the cashier. One time, we had to explain what we needed them to do, and they did those things, but they gave everyone in our order gf noodles. They also made me their gf Mac and cheese, and they added marinara sauce on top. I just wanted noodles and marinara, but it still tasted fine. The next time, everything went smoothly, and I got exactly what I asked for.

Online order downside- the special accommodations box, only has 16 characters, so you can not write anymore than "gluten allergy". I don't trust the establishment to know what to do with a gluten allergy, without being there.
