  • A friend from Los Angeles recommended this ramen joint to me. "Not the same but good enough" were his exact words comparing it to Daikokuya. Monta Ramen is literally in the midst of other small Asian food joints in a mini-strip mall in Las Vegas' Chinatown on Spring Mountain Road. I honestly would have not known this place existed if my friend didn't tell me about it. Parking was, for one, a bit limited. I walked in to a small, maybe 6 (or 7?) tables and the counter bar, stuffy and unventilated ramen joint. It had the same feel of Daikokuya: cramped and rushed. There were people standing, waiting and blocking the door. I was offered to sit on the bar but there was no elbow room so I stood up and told the lady I would wait for a table instead. The wait staff are Japanese, but noticed 2 Latinos working behind the bar/kitchen with an Asian guy. Red flag I thought but then again I saw the framed accolades from different local papers and publications honoring and awarding Monta as the Best or one of the Best in Las Vegas. I sat down in one of the small tables and ordered their tonkatsu ramen ($6.95). The bowls are smaller, I noticed, and they're somewhat stingy with everything, including the broth and the toppings. I had a couple small slices of chasu, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, and green onions. Mine didn't come with marinated boiled egg. I come to find out that you can order the toppings for extra charge. Really? for an egg? The broth was a bit salty to my liking, heavy and tasted like it was enriched with milk or cream, or maybe miso. The wavy thinner noodles were somewhat seasoned too, but not overwhelmingly salty. Their chasu, however, is to die for! It's perfectly seasoned, cooked, caramelized and charred to my personal standards! For that alone, I will come back and try their chasu rice bowl. For their ramen soups? I might try a different one the next time around, and maybe request thicker noodles. Sidenote: Monta Ramen was shut down by the Southern Nevada Health Department in mid March 2013 for 47 demerits, but have since re-inspected and reopened.
