Delicious ramen and great service! I’m gluten free and love miso ramen. I don’t remember the last time I ate miso ramen since most places don’t have gluten free noodles. This place has gluten free kale noodles as an option if you want and with the miso broth it was fantastic. Tried their tonkotsu broth and that was also good. My friend loves the vegan ramen here. I love that they have something for everyone and food quality and service are also good ?? 10/10 for me!

Nice small place, staff very professional. Had ramen and gyoza. Also tried the char sui buns. They have a limited menu which makes it easy to order. Wish they had tempura.

I liked it. It was empty the day in there which is sometimes a bad sign, but I thought it was very good.

Brought my daughter here for a ramen dinner night. I was always a fan of the prior establishment, Monta Chaya, which unfortunately closed during the pandemic. It was about 7pm on a weekday and we had our choice of seating. We opted for the bar to watch the chefs prepare food. Servers were friendly, helpful, and attentive. Menu is limited but that's usually a sign that they've perfected a few key dishes rather than offering a multitude of mediocrity. Space is small, hosting maybe 6 or 7 parties and then additional bar seating, so I suppose on weekends you can expect a wait for a table. Parking is ample, as it is shared parking within the plaza. Food was good, no true complaints from me or my daughter. I appreciated that each of their ramen dishes had a description and had a specific noodle type that went with each item. I chose their Shogun Ramen, and my daughter picked the Classic Shoyu Ramen. I personally liked her noodle style better (thicker egg noodle maybe?), called the "No.22 Hokkaido & Tokyo Standard," vs. the one I got in my Shogun Ramen, which was a thinner "No.26 Hakata Standard" noodle. Being it was our first time with this menu, I had no idea what this meant and just rolled with it, but in hindsight I probably could have asked, or substituted for a thicker noodle, but all the same, I was appreciative to try the dish the way the chef intended. Noodles were a personal preference though, so I don't feel justified to knock it down more. The broths were outstanding though, and their Nitamago halves were DELICIOUS. Pro tip, let it sit in the broth for a bit, as I ate my daughter's half at the beginning of the meal and it was cold, but my egg had been in the hot broth longer and it was nice and warm. We also started the meal off with some gyoza - delicious and I really enjoyed their gyoza sauce which was readily available table-side. All in all, I would be open to eating here again, but would probably substitute for a thicker noodle. Great staff, layout and size is very reminiscent of a traditional Japanese ramen house, and well crafted menu options!

I miss Monte Chaya. We ordered takeout and there was hardly any broth. It was like warm at best. The crispy rice cakes were cold and tasted like frozen hash browns. My broth smelled like chemicals. The umami oil was powder in the bottom of a soufflé cup with a little liquid. The noodles tasted and looked like angel hair pasta and it wasn’t cooked thoroughly.. The broth was cloudy and flavorless. The bamboo was crunchy. The eggs looked rotten. I will not be going back. Time to find a new ramen spot.

Tried their Classic Shoyu Ramen and chicken karaage. It was delicious and flavorful with the noodles perfectly cooked. I'm glad it was another ramen restaurant took over Monta Chaya as ramen restaurants are a bit sparse in the Henderson area. Overall, food was great and service was quick.

Very tasty Ramen. The Ramen was firm and the soup was excellent. I also tried the pork curry. It was very tendor and tasty.
Had the Miso ramen: Great, smooth flavor with noodles perfectly cooked. Three choices of tea, hot or cold. Service: prompt, friendly, and informative when questions asked. Felt the price was on target for what you got. I think I just discovered a new go to ramen place.

great ramen I like the thick noodle's. And the mango mochi is like a tropical forest exploding in my mouth like hot damn that is the best ice cream mochi ive ever had!!!

My go to ramen joint off eastern/215 The ramen is amazing (my favorite is the Shogun ramen) ... the broth is sooooo flavorful and the noodles are always cooked perfectly. The service is impressive too... I like sitting at the bar and watching them prepare the food... great ambiance!

Flavorful broth, but I'm not the biggest fan of their type of noodles. I prefer thicker with more chew. The toppings were average. I don't like places that serve only half an egg. Portion size was fair.Their chicken karaage was average.Customer service was fast and friendly.There really aren't any other competing ramen shops in the area that I know of, so this place will do in a pinch.

I ate at the first Monta Chaya and it set the bar for ramen in the city. After Pandemic, this location reopened as Monta - but many of the popular items were now not on the menu. The response was to go to the China Town location and they still are on the menu there. After seeing Jinya Ramen move into Eastern and Sunridge Heights - it seemed like there was an opening for a bigger menu and more ramen. They missed the mark. Shogun moved in - they have brought the old Monta back. Pork Belly Rice - back, Shoyu - nailed it and now they have stretched into more menu items that make complete sense. The place was full prior to dinner and staff turned tables quickly. Price is close to the old Monta, quality is solid. If you are wanting the old Monta on Eastern - it is back - under a different name in Shogun with the favorites and (now various fried rice and octopus dumplings). Go for it when you want great comfort food at a good price that can get you in quickly to enjoy a great menu.
