| - I admit that Monta has the best ramen anywhere in Vegas. The stuff they serve at Ichiza and Shuseki has nothing on them! The noodles are fresh and the broth, whether tonkatsu, miso, or shoyu, is always steaming hot and extremely flavorful. I appreciate that it's the real stuff and not the packaged, powder crap other places use.
Yes, Monta is a noodle house but their fried rice is just as good, if not better. For someone who doesn't really like fried rice, I would come just for that. Their gyoza was just okay. I've had better.
Even though the place is (extremely) small, I like that it's cozy. There was only one time when I actually had to wait for a table, but as always, the wait was worth it.
A basic bowl of ramen will cost you almost $8. That's kind of steep, especially in the economy that we're in now. An extra $1.50 for a hard boiled egg also seems a bit much, don't you think? I guess it's really quality over quantity with this place.
Four out of five stars because food quality is good, service is good, but pricing isn't the best. This place is always a pleasure though. If you haven't been, you probably should soon.
