Amazing Ramen, But You Have To Venture Off The Strip
This was my first excursion into the ramen world of Las Vegas. I'd had ramen in San Antonio, Houston, Austin & Dallas at this point, but I'd read reviews about the amazing ramen that could be found in Las Vegas, so on my trip I met up with a fellow convention attendee and we took a cab ride out to Monta Ramen.
Monta ramen isnt a huge place, it has limited seating, probably about 25 people. I knew the place was popular when we got in the cab and told the driver "Monta Ramen" and he just hit the gas.. He said he takes a lot of people there.
When we arrived we didnt have to wait luckily as it was pretty toasty outside in August. We took at a seat at the bar and made our selections.
I ordered the tonkatsu ramen, which comes topped with green onion, chashu pork, bamboo shoots and kikurage. I also added a side of corn to my ramen.
When the food arrived both of agreed it was some of the best ramen we had ever had. The flavor was amazing, the texture of the noodles not mushy but firm, and the broth had a buttery flavor.
Price wise this was super cheap, for both our bowls, our sodas and added sides, the total was about $19.
I would definitely return here, and have tried on occasion, but have had bad luck with remodeling and closed days on some of my trips. But I will be making future attempts to return again.
I discovered they have a location in Dallas now, so I may try to check that out as well.— Paul
