text: We were tired of fine dining and buffets so we decided to head to Chinatown for Monta They have a very simple menu with types of ramen shoyu tonkotsu miso typical selection ranging from You also have the option of adding more noodles and toppings for They also had gyoza pork rice bowls and fried rice Service was nice and speedy You can tell the girls here were used to dealing with the crowdsnnWe tried the tonkotsu ramen and the kim chi fried rice Overall the ramen was quite flavorful but the flavors do not compare to our favorite ramen place in San Diego at Izakaya Masa Monta noodles are much thinner but not mushy or al dente the way we like It is served with a couple slice of pork Asian mushrooms and bamboo shoots But I do like that they have pickled ginger and minced garlic jars out for self service The fried rice was decent but unremarkablennOverall a good dining experience with reasonable prices However the restaurant is really small There are only small tables plus a Lshaped bar area for so I would return only with small groups to avoid a long wait
