" Having been to Japan, I was impressed to find a place that serves authentic ramen like MoonCat. The miso ramen was rich and beautiful. I found myself not wanting to leave! The service was friendly and despite being busy, my meal arrived promptly. Highly recommend this place to everyone craving authentic flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried the takoyaki and udon at MoonCat, and they were fantastic! Each bite was bursting with flavor and very authentic. The ramen was good too but not my favorite dish there. The service was prompt, and the atmosphere was welcoming. I'm excited to try more new items from the menu next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited MoonCat based on popular recommendations and was thoroughly impressed! The ambiance was cozy, staff are polite, and the ramen was packed with delicious flavor. The only downside was the wait during peak hours. But trust me, it’s worth every minute if you want to enjoy a great bowl of ramen. " (*Curated Review*)

" MoonCat is a gem in the heart of Monrovia! I appreciate the dedication to authenticity, particularly in their udon and soba dishes which rival what I've tried in Japan. The chef clearly knows their craft. I had the vegetable soba, and it reminded me of the street stalls I visited during my travels. The atmosphere is casual but warm, and the staff are genuinely kind and attentive. A must-visit spot on my next trip! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited to try MoonCat after hearing so much buzz, but I was slightly disappointed. The ramen was pretty good but did not meet my high expectations after visiting ramen shops in Japan. Still, the service was friendly and quick, and the atmosphere is very homey. " (*Curated Review*)

" MoonCat is a great spot to grab a quick bite! The ramen hits the spot every time. However, I did feel the servings weren't as generous as I had hoped. Despite that, the flavors are solid and the atmosphere is casual. It’s a great place to bring friends after a movie. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I visited recently and had a delightful meal! The shoyu ramen was excellent and took me back to Japan. The portions were a tad small, but the flavors were strong and impactful, making them quite satisfying. Service was watm and accommodating. We left with full bellies and smiles. " (*Curated Review*)
