Monzo, which opened in March in Little Tokyo in the space that used to be Fat Spoon, is aiming a little higher, both with its style of udon and the level of service. It’s sit-down and upscale, at least for a noodle joint, with black, lacquered tables and a feel that’s downright sleek. In this way, Monzo bridges the gap between L.A.’s high-end Japanese restaurants and the low-rent ramen shops that were here even before the current noodle craze.
