This is not Chinatown Express, home of hand-stretched noodles.  It's not
a place where they knead the pasta dough by hand while you watch.

Noodles is a cheap chain restaurant intending on competing with the likes
of Boston Market.  It's intended to be a cut above McDonalds and Burger
King while still bringing in the fast food customers.

I can see it doing well, because it serves people a lot of cheap food
fast, and there is a large market for that.  It's not competition for
Galileo.  I wouldn't eat there again myself, but I understand the market
they are aiming for.
