Being from Bay Area and having so many good ramen joints to try really makes it hard to find "good" ones elsewhere. Monta has been on my "to-try" list for a very long time. But every time I try to go it's packed to the gills. Luckily this time I was out for an early dinner and was lucky to be seated within 15 minutes. This place is small, max cap at about 40.
Ordered the miso ramen, requested spicy which is just a chili paste added in that you mix into the soup yourself. The ramen was good. A little chewy, a little al dente. The broth was good. The chili paste gave it more flavor. Great food, just not worth any wait longer than 30 min.
