Our first time experience here was a hot mess. We ordered carryout. We read the reviews of Noodlecat and decided to check it out. We ordered the house ramen with coconut curry broth, substituting beef short ribs for the tofu and, the 4 pack steamed buns - 1 chicken, 2 tempura lake fish and 1 fresh bacon bun. When we walked in to pick up, could not find the bartender for 10 minutes and finally had to ask a server. There were 3 seated tables and 1 couple at the bar. Our order was waiting at the bar, however no bartender to be found. Got home, the ramen was one big glob of mush - gross to look at and the noodles were disintegrated into 1 cold mess. They should separate the noodles from the broth for carry out. Onto the steamed buns...You can order 4 for $11. I agree with another Yelp reviewer on the J-Fried Chicken bun - it is the size of a chicken nugget. As for the 2 Tempura Lake Fish buns, so sad, they were thin strips of fried nothingness, like end pieces. They were all breading, no fish. The bacon bun was a 2 inch dried out piece of pork. I suppose okay if you are into that.
