Monarch Ramen Noodle House

So good. Can't wait to go back. I have eaten a lot of ramen and this place has earned the top spot with my taste buds. Eat here and you will be happy.

This is a tough one because I really love the other restaurants operated by this group. This was my first visit to Midtown Monarch and I wanted it to be great. The maopo tofu, which is an appetizer, is really probably enough for an entree, was really good and a nice deal at $8.00 (nice portion of spicy pork and tofu over rice). The takoyaki, which are deep fried, chopped-up octopus balls, were really interesting and very unique (I liked them but not sure I have to have them again). We ordered pad Thai for our main entrees and portion size was healthy. They were a little spicier than I would have liked and not particularly good nor flavorful beyond the spice. Had a great canned mango cider. Food was out quickly and service was good.. Overall, probably grades out at a B- (pad Thai a C). Probably should have got a Ramen dish and will probably give it another try because we DO NOT have enough decent restaurants in North Idaho.

Not good compared to Ramen in other towns. We are from out of state and we're excited to try Ramen, but we won't be coming back here again. They are also pushing a lot of political agendas. Really annoying when companies do that. Avoid.

This was one of the only ramen spots we could find near our Airbnb in town and we were surprised at how bad it was given the good reviews! Both ramen came out quite late, the broth was watery, and the noodles were over cooked. We couldn't even finish half of them. Not worth the money and not worth the calories.

It was not good, was really looking forward to some good ramen based on reviews but it was bland and not at all like good ramen I've had. The egg was cold, the ramen I ordered was supposed to be spicy and there was no spice. The waitress seems irritated from the moment we walked in. Don't waste your money.
