Good Eats

By Frenchie |

We have never had a bad meal at Noodles. The Cajun Shrimp and spinach salad are wonderful. You gotta try this place if you like Italian.

Very Fresh and Excellent in All Aspects. Recommended!

By b0raas |

Fantastic local restaurant. Great food and excellent service. We had the Ceasar Salmon Salad, which was very fresh and lots of interesting tastes between the capers and the generous amount of smoked salmon. We also tried the spaghetti marinara with meatballs and it was some of the best I have had. The amount of spices were perfect, the sauce delicious and the meatballs excellent. Portions were more than generous! Finally we recommend the carrot cake, which has a nice touch of ginger. It was delicious. This restaurant is highly recommended.

good pasta

By 1shadeaufax |

Every time we have been here or even gotten take out the pasta has been made fresh to order. There is a large board on the wall to order from. You order & pay at the counter. They bring it to your table or you can get the food to go. The pastas and the different sauces are flavorful. The garlic bread is good. I like the salad and the light vinaigrette. Its large so we always split it. They are nice and even though it is Very casual someone always checks to make she you are doing OK. The last time I was there the white wine was not drinkable, however, that can happen anywhere.

Consistantly good food!

By margeg6 |

A small, inconspicuous restaurant on Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway in Raleigh Hills. Stand in line to order from their large menu on the wall. One of our familiy's favorite. Someday, I might even order something besides their seafood linguine!

Enjoying great food for 18 years.

By Andrea R |

Don't confuse this wonderful place place with the new "chain" stores. Most everything is made in house and fresh. We love the Chinese chicken salad, cheesy garlic bread, and enjoy any pasta dish. We have never been dissatisfied with any meal. There are a few tables with umbrellas outside, a simple nothing fancy dining area, which is perfect. Catering and carry out too. They are closed on Sunday and Monday. Enjoy

Good inexpensive restaurant

By Lisa H |

Our cashier was extremely enthusiastic and positive. Every staff member we encountered was friendly and helpful. The food is good and inexpensive, with options for everyone. Wine is available. Service was fast. The restaurant was not crowded or noisy; the atmosphere is good for dining at this level. We ordered a dish to go and that went smoothly too. This restaurant does a lot right!

Great soup

By Bob B |

Stopped in for lunch. Ordered the corn chowder with smoked salmon soup. $3.95 or $4.95 a BOWL. Worth it at twice the price. Past dish was plentiful and good. Prices were reasonable. I will return.

Satisfying noodles & salads with a side of Friends!

By nkwins |

My friend brought me to Noodles for lunch. It was her Dad's go to place with his friends. Sure enough, while we were there, we met one of her father's friends. Turns out that this easy to overlook restaurant across from Safeway is family owned and many customers are regulars. While we were looking at the menu in the entryway, a guy came in. We waved him in front of us and he said we should go ahead and order. He said it didn't matter what we ordered because it's all delicious and he's had it all. I ended up with the lunch special for around $6. There were 3 choices. I got spaghetti and marinara with garlic cheesy bread. My friend got the day's special salad with steak, Gorgonzola and arugula. We took our drinks to a table and our orders were delivered a couple of minutes later. The servers were so friendly. My food was delicious but I couldn't eat it all. A server packed it up for me without me asking. I was going to eat it for dinner but I actually had it for a late afternoon snack. It was so delicious in the restaurant and as a leftover. My friend said her Dad's favorite was the beef stroganoff. My friend's Dad's friend that we met says he eats here every Tuesday and Friday. I may make those my regular days also! Don't let the somewhat nondescript exterior fool you. This is a good, busy restaurant with lunches, dinners and wine.

greasy and tasteless

Best Tiramisu ever!

By Irish4718 |

We've frequented this restaurant for a long time. Don't confuse this with the local chain of restaurants with a similar name. Recently we took our order as take-out. The same great bargains and delicious tastes! My favorite is the Chicken Picatta - just the right portion of sauce, lemon flavoring, chicken and capers. This time we shared a Caesar salad which is crisp and tasty. If you love garlic, this is for you! We also bought some cheesy garlic bread to share and it's fantastic. For dessert we ALWAYS get their specialty - Tiramisu. This is the creamiest creation served in just the right portion. You really will want to eat more, but one is certainly enough...just savor every bite. We had a cup of coffee with ours and that completed our wonderful meal. Check them out! You can phone for orders to go or eat in. We have done both. A bit tricky to get in and out of the lot, but not too bad. The staff is efficient and work hard to take great care of their customers. The restaurant and bathroom is always clean and well-kept.

different from the noodles chain. very good.

Great Meal at a Local Favorite

By Ron S |

I enjoyed a delicious meal at Noodles. They offer a wide variety of pasta dishes. I had beef stroganoff with rotini noodles. It was DELICIOUS and the serving was BIG. I would definitely eat here when in Portland. I wish there was one in Denver.

Wonderful little gem!

By knhdah |

My husband and I ate here today on the recommendation of a good friend, who says it's one of their family's favorite restaurants. Don't confuse them with Noodles & Company--they are in no way affiliated. Everything is fresh, and tastes homemade. My husband had the mac & cheese, and I had the Lunch special Fettuccine Alfredo, which came with their amazing Garlic Cheesy bread for $5.95--a great deal! The only two things that weren't perfect: No posted Kids' Menu, but I would bet they'd do noodles, with just butter, for those picky eaters. The other thing is not their fault: I'm not used to eating all that butter & creaminess, and my gut let me know it wasn't happy a couple hours later :( Again, not their fault. We will definitely go there again, and my husband even said, "I wouldn't call this fast food--the outside kind of gives you that impression--like it was an Arby's or something before--I would consider this a nice 'go out to dinner place' with about the same prices as Olive Garden, and way better food!"

Different but not spectacular

Great little place with great food.

By jtravels1 |

Been going to this place for years! It's one of those places that doesn't ever disappoint. Our favorites: Cajun shrimp penne, garlic chicken fettuccine, spaghetti marinara, garlic bread, and on and on. They make amazing cheesecakes. Great chefs great service. Fast too!

Noodles Restaurant is fantastic

By James M |

Noodles is a small, order-at-the-counter place that's easy to miss. Don't. The food and service is excellent! Many friends are regulars there, and I finally had a chance to try it -- it was a great meal. Highly recommended: the Braised Beef, the Mexican Beef, the Stroganoff, and the homemade Meatballs. Great food, fast and very resonably priced. I'm looking forward to going back! (Note that they are closed Sunday-Monday.)

Are you looking for something beyond a burger?

By dave984MooseJaw |

Noodles in the Clackamas Towncentre, from the point of view of a first time visitor, seems to be a place that can provide a delicious something just a bit different from the burger and cheese fast food that is prevalent. For those who have been raised on macaroni and cheese, Noodles has pasta choices that make this once lowly, often staple, into almost a gourmet meal. At the same time, for those of us who have a health conscious interest, the menus post the calories and other helpful hints. Our choice of pasta, single order, was ample for two, exceptionally well spiced and flavourful. The venue is laid out to appeal to the fast service, single to family client. Service was prompt. And, the price was reasonable.

Loved it!!!!!!

By BlueEyeTours |

Wow are we glad we stopped in here! We loved this little place's food. It was nearby so we lucked out. Great soup and salad - and the cookies were amazing! Out this on the "regular stop" list!

Good pasta!

By DisneyGramma |

Noodles has a terrific variety of pasta dishes. We love the cheesy garlic bread as well! We've eaten dinner inside, but mostly we do take out. Quick, good, reasonably priced!

Quick Food, Great Service, and Excellent Food

By S i |

This is our 'go to' when we do not want to cook. We can call a head for take out or dine in. The business has been a staple of the area for years because you can always get great food that is quick and low cost. Fine dining taste and service yet fast food prices ! ! ! I think they do a good job because all they do is noodles and the staff genuinely care about the service and quality of food.

Just great food!!!!

By Tim G |

I am a 35 year resident of Portland. I just moved to a new house off of the Beaverton Hilsdale Highway and Oleson Road and have been exploring the local dining opportunities. We went to Noodles and had one of the best Italian dinners ever in PDX. Just a small place...the kitchen is nearly as big as the seating area, for me always a good sign. Great menu, great service, and very reasonable priced. They were doing lots and lots of take out. This is now on my go to comort food list.

Great food!

By lloyds0427 |

Had a good dinner here, I had the chicken piccata, and my wife had the scallop piccata in penne. Both were great! Also had the garlic cheesy bread. Very efficient service, and the homemade desserts are fantastic! Will definitely go back!

Beef stroganoff

By AnoukPDX |

The beef stroganoff is my favorite. The flavor is good but it is a bit heavy. The bread is a must have which let’s face it, a heavy stroganoff topped with bread and all you feel like doing after that meal is a good binge watch in tv .

The staff and food are fantastic!

By lke2013 |

Make sure to get desert! Take it home for later, if you must- but get desert! This has quickly become my kids favorite restaurant. My dad eats here at least once a week. It is all good.

Great variety of pasta in a family setting

By Marty M |

This is a great family restaurant. Menu is on the wall and has a wide variety of pastas and salads available. Our favorites are the Chicken Picatta with Angel Hair and the Seafood Linguini Provencal. But I also like the basic Spaghetti and Meatballs, and the Cheesey Garlic Bread. Spinach Salad is excellent. Service is very friendly and fast. Order at the counter and be seated, they bring out your drinks, salad and pasta. They also do takeout. Only negative is I wish they were open on Sundays!

A very good surprise for good meals!!

By LaurieB980 |

We have driven by this restaurant for apparently a number of years as we always thought it was a different type of restaurant than it really was, and had no clue that it leaned toward Italian cuisine! We also didn't know that they had been here for some years!! We both enjoyed our pasta with meat sauce meals here very much as well as the salad. We will come back, I'm sure, especially now that we know they serve some pretty good Italian food and are located closer to our home!!

Great take out!

By DisneyGramma |

We've always had really good meals from Noodles. Many different types of pasta and good portions. The food is delicious and we've tried most of the menu items. Dessert is an absolute must! Service is fast and the staff is really helpful and friendly.

Take out

By Andrea R |

Chicken salad, Raviolis, cheese bread, and don't forget dessert! We've been eating here for years, the recipes are solid and portions good sized. Never had a meal were haven't liked. Call ahead you will be surprised how quick they are! Enjoy! Cheers

The Best Pasta In The World!

By dennis p |

I love this place. Very clean inside, food is amazing, always passes health inspections with 100%, very friendly staff. If you love great food, take your family or whoever and head down. Not to be confused with noodles and company, they are phony. If you like microwaved food head there.

Consistency Friendly Awesome Food Great Owner. This place is the best for over 25 years

By Crazyhandler |

I have been going here with my family for over 25 years. The menu is basically the same and has never waivered in quality taste or even price. I would recommend this beautiful place for take out or dine in The owner hires more on character than anything else and It Shows. Bravo Sir. in an ever changing world you are a constant source of familiarity and good food. I could go on and on, This is one of those places hard to give a good review only because you don't want others to know your love of this slightly hidden gem and want to keep it all to yourself (just kidding) omg if this business ever closes I will just cry :) Good Job Noodles across from the old Dublin Pub :)

wow. what a surprise

By Portlander |

How many years have I driven right by Noodles, tucked away on B/H Highway - well - apparently nearly 18 years. Wow. This place is fabulous, as well as - a well kept secret. While searching restuarant reviews in my new neighborhood (Raleigh West), I stumbled on several other fans on the Bundle restaurant review. Went to check it out - and was delighted. The prices are great, the menu outstanding. Walk in, review the board, and place your order at the counter. Then get ready to have some spectacular dining.

Dinner

By William S |

Always busy, big takeout business but has seating. Food is consistently good. Menu is as the name states but all manner of noodle from all over. Very good tastes/spices. Good parking.

Great food, reasonable prices

By Kella678 |

Great noodle dishes at a reasonable price. Entrees are less than $10 and the portions are fair. Great deserts and salads too. Love this for take out

Gourmet Noodles

By PortlandKLS |

Suburban Southwest Portland is generally NOT the place to look for well reviewed, interesting or unique eateries. Any major source will steer you to ANY other part of town. Imagine my surprise to find this amazing little gem out in Raleigh Hills! They are not fancy, and access to the parking lot is a little touchy, but it is all about the food. Their menu is varied and food is DELICIOUS and prices are reasonable. The three times we have visited, they have been extremely busy, primarily with carry-out orders. This keeps the food fresh but the staff a little harried. (Smile at them and see if you can't get them to smile back.) Give this restaurant a try - I think you'll love it and return!

Fast, Reasonable, Good

By Courtney M |

My coworker and I decided to eat lunch here after reading good reviews online. This small establishment serves Italian dishes quickly. You walk up to the window, order your food, and it comes out in less than 10 minutes. Basic Italian dishes are offered and they are well seasoned and there is a good portion size. The food is also very reasonably priced. This is a great stop for a quick lunch.

Great fresh food

By Tom S |

Nice little local pasta spot, always fresh and usually fast. Definitely better as take out since the place does not have many seats. They also serve wine, beer and good salads.

Tasty food, served promptly by friendly staff.

By Martin M |

An assortment of noodle dishes, mostly Italian flavors. This was our first visit. The chicken picatta was deliciously lemony, and we also enjoyed the spinach and cheese ravioli. Will go back again.

Totally unique in its quality, convenience and price

By Jennifer |

Whenever we visit Portland (from Vienna, Austria), Noodles is a *must.* A real insider's tip! The food is heavenly, and so uncomplicated! My husband is very finicky with food, but adores the food at Noodles. He loves the pasta, and I love the salads. Everyone is happy!

Not bad, and they are accomidating for me - I like the Pad Thai noodles without the egg.

Years of consistent greatness

By Heather R |

We have eaten here for years. Cheesy garlic bread is always a must have. Their deserts are delicious and staff is always friendly with great service.

Chicken salad rules

By Andrea R |

We've been eating here for years. Never gotten a bad meal. Lots of meal choices, everything is wonderful! From the cheesy bread to the desserts you can't pick anything bad. Go enjoy, they even do take out! Cheers

Good food at a good price.

By nthomas44 |

Noodles is a small restaurant that specializes in Chef David's unique sauces and flavors for pasta dishes. They have menu items such as Beef Stroganoff, Garlic Shrimp over linguini, Macaroni and Cheese with five cheeses and sausage. They have a selection of great dinner salads including a Chinese Chicken Salad and a Spinach Salad. In addition they have yummy house made desserts. Customers can eat in or take out. The staff is always eager to please and provides great service. I have been going to this restaurant for years and have never been disappointed.
