Montagna - Olympic Valley

The Ramen broth unfortunately tastes like water. Like they used straight unseasoned chicken broth from Costco. Noodles were okay. But dear lord the broth was bland. This isn't hard. Just add salt and make real broth. It's so inexpensive to just do it right. Hope they improve.

While staying at resort , we ordered take out for kara age (fried chicken) and pork dumplings. For $14, 3 small, nugget-sized chicken pieces and another $13 for 6 pieces of small, rubbery dumplings plus a service charge. I know resort foods can be overpriced but this was another level. Not sure if dine-in is better, but take out is a bad idea.

I should have stayed home and made cup of noodle with a boiled egg. Terrible service, cold flavorless ramen, very expensive. So disappointed!!

It's better than the Yo-Kai Express vending machine in the KT base bar! re. Pork Tonkatsu Ramen

I was sorry to see the Italian restaurant gone. It was quite good, especially the dinner selections. My expectations for this place was low. This is listed as a Japanese noodle house but serves wontons, wonton noodles, and chasiu buns which are not Japanese. The tonkatsu noodles were a total disappointment. I ordered tonkatsu ramen, the server announced it as miso ramen when she brought it. The manager came and proclaimed it to be the tonkatsu and not the miso ramen. However the broth was clear (tonkatsu broth is supposed to be rich and creamy, not clear), but did not taste like miso either; it was like diluted soy sauce, but still without the fullness of flavor of soyu broth. There was not enough broth to cover the noodles and it was lukewarm. There was only a single very thinly sliced bland piece of pork that did not taste like chasiu at all as it was so tasteless. I had ordered spinach but it was a handful of uncooked spinach placed on top of the bowl this is supposed to be ramen, not a salad! To be fair the noodles were actually right on for ramen as far as thickness, color, consistency. However without a good broth, the noodles were just not as good as they could have been. The chicken karaage was disappointing as well small pieces, not enough batter, no taste. In terms of portion size both the ramen and karaage were really only a half to two thirds of the size I expected and for $4 more than you can get at any average ramen place anywhere from the Bay Area to Reno. To compare this ramen to the one from the vending machine in Oly House, the noodles here were better, however everything else was better out of the vending machine. Honestly, I am giving this a 2 star as somebody who is critical and expecting authenticity. If I were just cold and hungry from skiing, take off my skis and walk only a few steps to get there for ski in/ski out food, I would give it 3 to 4 stars.
