  • Oh, I'm so sad to give a poor review. I'd been to the former Noodlecat location (downtown) and always had great experiences. I have been wanting to try the new location for a while & today I stopped by the revamped Noodlecat in Crocker Park. Unfortunately I left disappointed. The restaurant has morphed info a "fast causal" joint where you order at the counter and then they prepare your food in a visible assembly line. They call your "number" and you take your food to the table of your choice--Panera Bread or Chipotle style. This leaves me with this question... why? What wasn't working about the former restaurant? Would that not have jived with this new location? I tried something new-to-me (I'm not sure if it's a new menu item), the cauliflower curry udon. In reading other reviews I see that others have found the food too salty, however, I found this dish far too bland. The curry flavors were one-note and not even sriracha could redeem it. I had anticipated rich and complex Indian spices but while the flavor was present was very muted. The foods presentation was lovely, but once I dug my chop sticks in I found the noodles to be thick, doughy, bland and worst of all...greasy. The noods tasted like straight greasy dough and they were surrounded by the lackluster curry. The one redeeming factor was that the curry was full of vegetables--peas, diced carrot, cauliflower and (I think?) potatoes. While I have no objection with the serving sizes I found that I couldn't finish the dish because the greasy noodles were upsetting my tummy. Overall the ambience of the restaurant is good. It was a warm spring day and the whole restaurant was open air. It was nice sitting on the patio. But this location certainly lacks the unique pop culture vibes of the former location and instead is pretty modern/plain, as if this were literally a chain restaurant [already]. As if that's the intention for Noodlecat down the line.
