Noodles Company - Des Moines

I love this place. No matter what you order on the menu you are for a surprise and a delicious treat. Although the staff gets a little chatty, overlook it because of the relaxed atmosphere and clean dining areas.

The food was good. The service was a little slow. Even the person who took our order did not give us the flower noodles when we asked, and he did not place them on the order.

Good food if you find something you like. Overpriced, but what's not anymore. I had a chicken soup I really enjoyed.

The fast food pasta was tasty. When they began to close, we decided to sit outside. However, we were disappointed to find broken concrete covering the terrace and dried sauce on the tables. It seemed as though the outdoor area had not been cleaned in days. Our experience was further soured when the Counter Guy refused to give water cups to three teenagers who had arrived on bicycles. We overheard him saying to his staff, "now you have seen my dark side." Due to these issues, we will not be returning to this restaurant.

This was my first time visit at this restaurant. There were several toppings you could choose from they would put it on a bowl of noodles. I had spaghetti with spaghetti sauce. It was ok, nothing special about it. It cost more than I thought it was worth though. It was ok for a fast, eat go resturant. I guess if you're really into pasta bowls, you would enjoy it.
