| - Good things -
Noodle Cat is a cheap date. You can be in and out of here with a $40 tab for two people, including a drink. Definitely aim for happy hour if you can, then we're talking 30 bucks, seriously. The steamed buns are absolutely adorable, definitely all they're cracked up to be - I've started all 4 visits with a couple of them (My fav is the brisket bun). The most memorable dish that I've gotten is the Spicy Octopus Udon Stir Fry. When it was good it was really good, when it was bad, it was a Lean Cuisine.
Could improve on things -
Do you remember those uncomfortable, narrow steel stools that you sat on in drawing 101? Well get ready to be uncomfortable for your entire meal, because, besides an even more uncomfortable (bizarrely uncomfortable) bench in the back, and some bar chairs, these are what you'll be sitting on. Teetering on the world's crappiest seat for an hour (or less cause I usually wanna get off my perch and go somewhere else) kills. me.
Also, there is little consistency with the food. Yes, 13 dollars is cheap for an entree. No, not cheap enough that I don't mind sometimes getting something decent, and sometimes getting watery take-out.
Also also, the ambiance is beyond underwhelming. DEFINITELY don't go here with a date. It will be awkward.
If you're dying for cheap noodles and you don't care about dining experience, give this place a try. If not, don't.
