Who can complain about free food near your home, especially if you live in PG County? We weer invited to celebrate the opening of the new Noodles and Company at the Woodmore Town Center near the new Wegmans. Already a huge fan of the Wegmans, we were happy to combine a shopping trip with a free dinner!
We've been to many Noodles before, even many years ago back in Colorado where they originated. I've always liked the idea: I love noodles of all sorts, love the idea of fresh and tasty "fast food" and like the service concept of order at the counter but get food delivered on real plates with real cutlery. But somehow, it often falls short, and the opening was no exception.
It seems weird to say this nowadays, but I think their portions are too small. Now, I am a nursing mom, but I'm usually more than happy (or more typically overwhelmed) by portion sizes elsewhere. Secondly, they have WAY too few vegetables. My udon noodles with broccoli (and carrots) had only one teeny floret of broccoli. I want piles of vegetables with my dinner.
This dinner was no exception. But I would tend to just order a salad and a main course and this wouldn't be a problem-- but for the opening we just got a main course, so it was more obvious. All of that said, the food is tasty and it is made fresh. The real bonuses come in with you dine with children since this restaurant clearly caters to kids, with tons of great noodle options, plenty of high chairs, changing table in the women's room, and a good child friendly atmosphere.
All that and they are in PG County, which gives them some major bonus points. If you live in PG, you'll check them out sometime either way, just remember to order a bit extra.
