While I love the brick-and-mortar noodle shop, the stand at WSM is not super consistent. I've gone a lot over the last 3 years since I work and play in the area often. The steam buns are usually a solid choice, I've never had one I didn't like. But the noodles, the most important part since the place is called Noodlecat, leave a lot to be desired. Most of the times I've gone I've enjoyed the noodles but I've never been particularly thrilled with any of them.
Last summer I worked near Tower City so I started frequenting the actual restaurant and realized the stand at WSM was doing them a big injustice. The noodles were consistently flavorful and exciting to eat.
This past weekend I went--it was a Saturday--and I got the dan dan ramen hoping to satiate my mega craving after having practically inhaled the same dish at the Euclid location days before.
When I got it the noodles were not the same kind of noodles that were in the dish when I first tried it and it was covered in nuts which was not on the dish when I ordered it at the Euclid location either. I shrugged it off and took a bite. While it was delicious I was confused because it tasted almost nothing like the dish I thought I was getting.
So bottom line, if you are looking for some decent noodles, you can find them here but if you want the real noodle cat experience the restaurant will be a better experience all around since there is a lack of consistency between the food at the stand and the restaurant.
