As someone who grew up eating instant noodles, finding this place is like being given a bag of diamonds! OK, maybe that is an exaggeration but, nonetheless, Monta Ramen is a gem! We came here for the second time in two weeks because my husband and I wanted Asian cuisine and our first trip here inspired cravings. I ordered the Kuro Ramen Black Garlic Oil noodles and my husband ordered the Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen. Both come with this deliciously flavored broth, but mine just had this extra layer of garlic favor on top. I can't say that the noodles are that out of the ordinary, but it's this broth that will keep us coming back! Both come with two pieces of pork, black mushroom, bamboo and green onions. I like to add condiments from the table, namely the pureed garlic and sesame seeds. We order the bowl of extra noodles to supplement our meals and to share with our young ones. Y'all gotta come here! This place is excellent!
Three tips:
1. The restaurant was a bit hard for us to find at first because it's a bit small amongst all the much bigger, surrounding storefronts. So look carefully.
2. Like all the restaurants around town, good taste must mean high sodium content, so make sure to drink lots of water during and after your meal! (The noodle broth does NOT taste overly salty in an aversive way!)
3. They don't take reservations, but coming before 6 pm helped us get a table quick. After that, every single seat fills up incredibly fast!
