Noodles & Company Vegan FAQ

Does Noodles & Company offer a vegan salad?

No. They contain a natural butter flavoring that according to their ingredients list, contains actual dairy.

The Seasoned Tofu is seasoned with their Japanese Pan Sauce, Asian Seasonings and Vegetable Broth.

What happened to Noodles & Company’s Impossible Panko Chicken?

We’re not totally sure. Noodles & Company began offering Impossible’s Panko Chicken in 2022. This guide had gotten a bit behind on my updates so I’m thinking it was removed in 2025 since it was still on menus in 2024.
