The Noodles and Company menu does exactly what the name promises, but with a wider net than you might expect: Italian pastas, Asian noodle bowls, mac and cheese, salads, soups, sides, kids' meals, desserts and drinks. Comfort staples like Buttery Parmesan Noodles and Creamy Cheddar Mac & Cheese sit next to Pad Thai and Japanese Pan Noodles, and the current menu adds chef-curated plates with chicken, shrimp and steak, plus a protein-focused section for anyone counting macros. Short answer: Regular entrées generally run about $7.35 to $13.90, with smaller portions of many dishes priced lower. This guide is research-based, built on the current menu structure and September 2026 pricing data. Because prices vary by location, the figures below are typical prices observed across multiple U.S. locations — not a single nationwide fixed price. The official site confirms the current categories: Culinary Classics, Chef-Curated with Protein, Mac & Cheese, Delicious Duos, Protein Packed, and Salad & Soup.

The Dishes People Order Most
A few names define the menu. Buttery Parmesan Noodles sits among the lower-priced regular entrées, Pad Thai and Japanese Pan Noodles cover the Asian-inspired side, and Creamy Cheddar Mac & Cheese is the straightforward comfort pick.
For protein, look at Basil Pesto Cavatappi with Chicken, Pasta Fresca with Chicken and Japanese Pan Noodles with Chicken. Seafood comes in through Cajun Shrimp Fettuccine and Lemon Garlic Shrimp Scampi.
Rigatoni Rosa, Japanese Pan Noodles, the Med Salad and Creamy Cheddar Mac & Cheese all get featured billing on the official menu as well.
Making It Your Own
Customization is a big part of the experience. Current protein additions include grilled chicken, marinated steak, pulled pork, sautéed shrimp, meatballs and seasoned tofu.
Nutrition and dietary information is available through the online nutrition calculator. The website flags menu indicators including vegetarian, gluten-sensitive and spicy options, although customers with specific dietary requirements should check the current ingredient and preparation information before ordering.
Why the Same Dish Costs More Elsewhere
Noodles & Company prices are not necessarily identical at every restaurant. September 2026 pricing research based on 78 restaurants in 30 states found noticeable differences between locations: a regular Pad Thai ranged from $7.85 to $9.95 across the restaurants checked, while a regular Pasta Fresca ranged from $7.45 to $9.50.
So read this guide's prices as useful reference prices, not guaranteed prices for every location. Order the same dish through a delivery platform and the price may well come out different from ordering in the store. The Noodles & Company ordering system for your specific restaurant is the best way to confirm the final price.
Finding a Noodles & Company Near You
Searching for Noodles and Company near me? The official website has a location finder and online ordering, which is the practical way to check the nearest restaurant, what it serves and its location-specific prices.
The official menu also changes periodically. In Noodles & Company's own words, the menu has been through a major refresh lately, bringing in new dishes and reworking others right across the categories.
Final Thoughts
The menu spans the full range — simple plates like Buttery Parmesan Noodles and Creamy Cheddar Mac & Cheese at one end, globally inspired Pad Thai and Japanese Pan Noodles at the other, and protein-focused dishes adding chicken, steak and shrimp throughout. Regular entrées generally fall in the roughly $7–$14 range based on current multi-location pricing data, with smaller portions, Duos, sides and kids meals providing additional options. And since both prices and availability shift from one location to the next, the surest way to know your final cost is to look at the current menu for your local restaurant before ordering.
