| - Special note: I know I shouldn't compare it to packaged ramen noodles, but I did...so? Now what? LOL...on with my "review"
So, after a few years I finally decided to try Noodlecat. I walked by the restaurant and saw a guy eating ramen noodles and for some strange reason, I wanted to eat some ramen noodles too lol. The reason why I thought it was strange and why it took so long for me to try Noodlecat was because of it being ramen noodles. I find it the meal to eat when I'm broke, there were times when I ate it so much I thought I would never in my life eat it again. Well Friday night I wanted some, along with trying out a steamed bun (or two).
I know this will come off as silly but I wasn't too happy with the bar stools at the table. I like backs to my chairs lol, somewhere I can hang my purse. I didn't realize the only area that had backs to the chairs was the bar area but it was too late because I already settled in (ugh what is wrong with me lol). On the table there is a clipboard with copies of the menu and the server was giving walking me through on how to order, which in my opinion was pretty self explanatory. Made my choices and was anxious to dig in. The service was okay, I ordered a drink but my server forgot to look at my entire menu selection (which also carryover to the back) and he really didn't check on me at all...didn't get the "your meal will be ready in a few moments" or something along those lines. At one point as I was looking down eating the mushy, tasteless ramen and a guy came out of nowhere and grabbed the two empty bowls and just kept walking. It did startled me a bit, looking up asking myself "does he work here?"
As I stated above, the ramen was very mushy and tasteless...didn't enjoy it at all. When I am in the mood for at home ramen, I do like it to be a little bit firm. I was making myself eat the rest because I didn't want to be hungry later in the day. I also ordered two steamed buns...the pork and the fried chicken, now those were good, especially the chicken. It does get a little messy but the sauce was yummy delicious so it was worth it. I kind of wished I should've swapped the bowl of coconut ramen for two (or three) more steamed buns.
This actually would have gotten less stars if it wasn't for the steamed buns, which would be the reason for a return visit. Other than that, no noodles for me.
Oh and can I say the bowls were really cute?
What I ordered:
*Nama Ramen, flavor Coconut Curry Tonkatsu
*(2) Steamed Buns - Fresh Bacon and J-Fried Chicken
*Poloma (drink)
