Growing Our Garden

In the midst of a heat wave, a vibrant vegetable garden popped up overnight on the Plaza in Kansas City this weekend!

Many thanks to all those who beat the heat and struck a pose to show off their green thumbs in our garden in the city! If you took your photo in our garden on the Plaza, don’t forget to share on our Facebook wall and on Twitter with hashtag #noodlessaladsinthecity – we’ll be selecting our favorite photo to win a dinner for four!

We Celebrating 300!

We recently opened the doors of our 300th restaurant!  We have such a strong following in the Midwest that it was only fitting that it be in Waterloo, IA.  To celebrate the major milestone, we invited hundreds of our closest friends to create a GIANT 300 to capture an aerial photo.  Check it out!  Thank you to everyone who supports us.  Cheers to 300 more!!!

Make Our Salad Your Salad

I love a good salad especially one made with lots of different flavors, textures and ingredients. However, how I like my salad might not be how you like yours. If you’re looking for ways to make a few changes, check out my tips below. And don’t worry about that special order request, we love to customize to meet your taste and dietary needs.

  • For portion control ask for dressing on the side. Then grab a fork and drizzle it over your greens.
  • Substitute our Fat-Free Asian Vinaigrette dressing on the Chili-Lime & Ginger Salad. You’ll save 190 calories.
  • Hold the wonton strips and crushed peanuts too…and save an additional 210 calories.
  • To reduce sodium, fat and calories, eliminate bacon, blue cheese and croutons from the Spinach & Fresh Fruit Salad. Try adding some carrots for crunch!
