After having ramen from the restaurant down the road, I was quite disappointed in Monte Ramen.
It was relatively easy to find...on the right side of Spring Mountain Road as you drive east. The parking lot is shared with other busy restaurants. I could feel a slight breeze from the air conditioning which was really helpful since it was 100 degrees outside!
The interior was small and dark. There were 5 tables and 9 counter seats. There were a few chairs for customers to wait for a table. Make sure you get your name on the clipboard!
The gyoza was shocking. ..it looked pale and undercooked, like it was just fried on one of its 3 sides. The inside was bland and flat tasting.
On the other hand, the miso broth was really salty and the noodles were too soft. I didn't finish it. The toppings of green onion, bamboo shoots & black fungus were room temperature as if they were hastily thrown on the top.
I would only go back if the competition down the road was full and if there was no line. If there was a line, go to the other restaurants right next door! Sorry...
