Soup on a cold winter's night is just what the body needs. I'd give Monta Chaya a solid 4.5 stars. It's just like the original Monta over on Spring Mountain, but with a bigger space. The food is great, the people are super sweet and friendly, and the prices are cheap!
That being said, they get super busy, especially during this time of year--expect a bit of a wait during peak eating hours. At times, they can use a few more people serving--it's THAT busy. Big parties are welcome, but with so many people coming in, it can take a little longer to get a big party seated together. Just a thought to keep in mind. Ordering to-go is also another great option. They can cook it for you or you can prepare it at home for fresh tasting ramen in the comfort of your own home ;)
