| - My go-to spot for ramen in NE Ohio. Granted, other restaurants in NE Ohio don't seem to know what kind of noodles ramen is comprised of, but that's neither here nor there. For all the people giving Noodlecat one star because it isn't "what they had in California/Japan"... get up outta' here with that ish. It's not authentic, but it's not supposed to be.
Positives:
- Cute location & good music
- Wonderful, chewy, curly noodles and tasty broth
- Consistently fluffy steam buns
- Perfect 6 minute egg
Needs improvement:
- The menu overhaul they did about a year ago was mostly negative (except for reducing the portion size, and thus, price). They took away their two best steam buns (brisket and pulled pork) and 98% of their beer options.
- They seem to be out of the few items the menu does have pretty often. Last time we were there, a couple next to us ordered 3 items in a row the restaurant was out of. I was embarrassed for them. My husband ordered a Sopporo (one of the three beers on the menu), and they were out at 6 P.M. on a Saturday. They also were out of the ginger beer I ordered.
In summation, I'll continue to frequent this place, but I really wish they'd bring some of their best items back to the menu and stock the ones they claim to have.
