Kontentsu Montrose is a gem! The black garlic ramen is absolutely the standout…rich, silky broth with deep umami flavor and that amazing roasted garlic aroma that gives every bite a smoky depth. The noodles are perfectly chewy, and the toppings feel super fresh and balanced. Cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and consistent quality every time. Easily one of the best ramen spots in the NELA / Glendale area.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Very solid. Everything was delicious and well priced, nice clean setting, good service. The Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen With Chicken was good

Food and service were incredible! Had the curry udon special and the flavors were all there! My partner and i also had the tenpura green beans and they were perfect. She had the miso ramen and said that it was also very good. We will definitely be going back soon!
