First time to Monta Chaya. Overall it is solid but not magical. Spicy Tonkostu is pretty standard. Chashu was good but not super tender. Shishito peppers are always good to see on a menu.
Jinya is still the place to beat in town, unfortunately they don’t have shishito peppers. Ramen Kobo is by far the hottest ramen I have ever had in my life. Tajima in San Diego or Danbo in Seattle are probably still at the top of the list. So far.
