text: I could have sworn I wrote a review for Monta a long time ago. I would have sworn incorrectly.\n\nI think most peoples' initial impression of Monta is \"why is there a line outside?\" and then they peek in and think, \"why didn't they just rent a bigger space?\" Luckily, their turnaround time is good. You're usually in with reasonable waiting. It is tiny, though. Be prepared.\n\nThe ramen itself is just fine. I think I'll call it \"starter ramen.\" It's not special in any category. It's ramen. Its reliable. You can customize it a bit. You can order surprisingly good fried rice! I am a huge fan of the takana variety. I don't know why. I also almost always ask for low sodium in the broth. That's right! It isn't pre-made that way. Everyone, including myself, is often shocked at this.\n\nThere is a healthy serving of noodles so you're basically guaranteed not to be hungry when you leave. If you are, just get some gyoza and you're set. Nice and crispy. They're not fresh or anything, but they work.\n\nHey, if you're in Henderson, don't even bother. Just go to their new younger brother/sister - Monta Chaya. It's better anyway for shallow reasons.
