Wow. Just wow. I wish I could give this place an even higher rating. The reviews and recommendations really show how wonderful this place really is. The first time I came here was also the first time I had ever had ramen. It was a Thursday afternoon around 3:30-4. I was looking for a good local place with ramen as I was with my family and it was my dads suggestion we try ramen. We went to a place on the same street about 3 blocks down. The place was EMPTY I mean not even a single car in the parking lot. After doing some research on yelp I see that monta ramen is just down the street and was high rated with lots of reviews. We checked it out and it was packed! On a Thursday afternoon that really says a lot about the place especially when another similar place so close was completely empty. We waited a moment for a table to be ready as this place is kinda small and does not have much seating space. But do not be deterred by this! It is worth the wait. The waitress was very nice and recommended the pork/chicken broth combo which she said was the most popular. I was sooooo impressed. I can't describe how delicious. I've gone back twice and it has only been 5 days. Mind you I also do not live close by.
