I loved Noodlecat during the days when they had a location in the Westside market. I'd make special trips there just to grab lunch to-go - the ramen was great! However, over time the prices have continued to go up and the quality has gone down. Until now i thought the most pivotal point was when they changed their menu at the downtown location to move away from a true menu to more more aligned with a fast casual restaurant (1) pick noodle, 2 pick broth, 3 pick protein), however their new location takes it to a new level.
They've essentially become a Ramen Chipotle, but with smaller portions and higher prices. On my first (and likely last visit), i ordered the Hangover Ramen. For the quality and portion, I was shocked by the $13.99 price (had to known what i was going to get - or not get - i never would've ordered).
If you are craving ramen while at Crocker Park, this will do - but if you want better quality, better portion and overall better experience do yourself a favor and go to Xinji on Lorain/W 43 or to Bac in Tremont - they have less of a ramen selection, but better quality that Noodlecat.
