This is the only ramen I've ever had that is beef based and I definitely recommend everyone try it because it is different from your pork/chicken based. While it was delicious, I prefer a pork based broth with bork belly. I was very happy that you could get corn and onions in it as those are some of my favorite ramen toppings and the noodles were outstanding.

Our crew stopped by after a production because we wanted to try something different. We really enjoyed this unique ramen as well as the different choices of sake!
Perfect in every aspect in my opinion. Server was super nice and worked flawlessly. The food... I'm still thinking about the food 2 hours after I ate. That was some of the best ramen I had in a long time. Worth every penny

The ramen is delicious and the serving staff is absolutely superb I mean 10 out of 10! But unfortunately I have to leave a negative 1 star review. I went there on NYE to enjoy a quiet relaxing end to the year and while sitting at the bar next to the kitchen and enjoying my meal, I overheard the chef speaking quite negatively of her servers. I found it quite disturbing, as I’ve worked in the restaurant industry before and believe that the respect in that space must be mutual in all directions. I then found out the chef I heard was in fact the owner. I was disgusted someone would treat their employees that way, I will not be going back

Their website says they closed at 9:30pm on Sundays! I got there at 8:30pm and the server(tall woman) did not want to seat us!

I ordered the monster bowl. The noodle is little is not enough for something that it’s gonna be almost $40. It’s overpriced.

Flavorful broth and sweet sake!
Ramen was amazing, but it wasn’t traditional. You really start missing the pork at some point.

First the positives! The food is really great. I got the vegetarian ramen and veggie gyoza, both were super delicious. The unfortunate part was the service. They had us wait an hour and 10 minutes for a table (which is fine if the place is busy!) but then constantly tried to rush us out. They asked my table twice if we were done and then came and said another reservation had the table and we needed to go. So overall I’d say hot soup with cold service. Sad since this should be a cozy comfortable neighborhood spot.

Our group felt extremely rushed out of our table. We were there for maybe 40 minutes and it was clear they wanted us to leave. 40 minutes to hang with friends is abnormally short.

I recently visited Monster Ramen after seeing them featured on a YouTube channel, and I was not disappointed! The broth was fresh and flavorful, and the noodles were the highlight—perfectly chewy and al dente. Overall, it was a great experience, though the portion size was a bit on the smaller side. If you’re a big eater, you might want to go for the large size. I’m giving them four stars mainly because they charged $1.95 for chili oil, which is usually complimentary at most ramen spots.

Best ramen anywhere. Better than LA. Better than Seattle! The stock she makes is truly incredible. The shoyu stock is literally the best chicken soup I’ve ever tasted. I asked and she adds chicken skin to that when cooking. Beef jam. It’s difficult to describe it how good it is.
