| - I don't really know what everyone is talking about with the portions here. I got the Tsukemen Ramen like a lot of other people (come on, who can resist pork belly?) with a fried egg, and the portion was easily enough for two people which should completely negate the $13 for it. and i'm a guy that can put away a LOT of food.
The dish itself is my new death row meal, but I'm saving that last star to see if the rest of the menu holds up, among other complaints.
The service was excellent, and speedy and for a small trendy spot like this, a casual air should be expected.
However, while I found the prince and portions of what I got to be a two-person type deal, the prices for everything else seemed really steep for a kind of restaurant thats typically more of a late night place. That brings me to another complaint, is the hours. In Pittsburg there are a decent number of noodle shops and asian places open to well around midnight, and Noodlecat's hours of 11-9 seemed very counterintuitive compared to that expectation of a noodle house. That being cheap good food late at night.
Food wise, I have zero complaints, but from the business side I'd say Chef Jon leans a little too close to his french haute cuisine roots for something thats supposed to be a humble but quality noodle shack.
