Strongest flavors: The chicken picked up the flavors of the sauce quite well: it wasn't dry at all. The noodles did not have an especially strong flavor. I would guess they're white flour, not whole wheat.
How many points / price: 3 points as a base, 4 points if you add meat. ~11-13$.
Worth the points: yes / no
Why: You don't get very much for the price, compared to other meals. It is noodles, sauce, and optionally meat. It also is not especially filling, though it will sate your appetite.
Quality of being a (menu item): 2/5
(1 is "terrible representation, 3 is "entirely solid representation of this dish, 5 is "I would not have this as somebody's introduction to this dish because it is just Too Good and will ruin their expectations")
Why: The noodles were slightly clumped together, and it was difficult to pull them apart. I personally enjoyed it, but that's because I enjoy most noodles dishes and find them to be easy to eat. It was good: I enjoyed the taste: but I don't think it's a great reprensentation of the dish.
How much I liked it: 7/10
Do I recommend: There are better options at Barnhart Dining. It's a good simple dish if you just want something to eat through as you focus on something else, but it doesn't have any fruits or vegetables, which I find disappointing. Whether you're on the meal plan because you don't want to cook or you're purchasing it because you're in the area and want something to eat, there are other, healthier, more interesting (palette-wise) options that include vegetables. Either way, if you're getting pre-cooked meals, you should buy something that will give you more nutrients for the same price.
Available when: 5-8pm every day.
