La Montaña: Reviews & Ratings
The Tamarind BBQ Ribs are delicious! Savory, a bit sweet from the 24 hour marinated honey and the tamarind dipping sauce adds a nice unique flavor to it. The Chili Garlic Lo Mein is not your normal lo mein flavor profile and well worth the price! Thier sushi is extremely fresh, flavorful and what we've been missing from most sushi places. I highly recommend you give this place a try. You won't be disappointed!
Best Asian Sushi Latin in Chapel Hill. Owner on site making sure every dish is perfect. Worth the drive.
First of all, the atmosphere is incredible. Very well decorated and aesthetic. The wait staff is very nice and attentive. The food is unbelievably good. As someone who loves both Asian and Latin cuisine, this place knocks both clear out of the park. The Lo Mein noodles were cooked perfectly with a very delicious sauce and the quesadillas were crispy, cheesy, and very tender. Absolutely no complaints. 10/10. Or in this case 5/5.
Finally got around to dining here. Actually, we’ve eaten at their sister restaurant (which is like two doors down) a few times & the last time we were there they had run out of a dessert we wanted & after telling us that they were out they came back to the table to tell us “hold on we may be able to find a solution”. Apparently they called over to La Montana to see if they could help out & the owner actually brought over a similar dessert. The fact that they didn’t just say sorry we’re out and moved onto the next patron but actually made calls, made me feel valued & we made it a point to ck out La Montana. We were not disappointed. The service was wonderful. Loved the vibe of the restaurant. The drinks were amazing. We actually had drinks from their special menu that changes. we were not disappointed. The food was delicious. We all stuck to mostly the Asian dishes instead of Latin dishes. The bao bun appetizers were amazing as was the edamame guacamole. my bowl which had a rice base was refreshing and delicious.
Lovely place, food was delicious. Highly recommend the queso fundido and the green curry. Mango cocktail also great Owners were working and came over to say hi, they were super friendly and welcoming.
We had a reservation but it wasn’t necessary as it was a slow night. We were kindly greeted by the young woman who would be our server. She was great! Very upbeat personality and had wonderful suggestions. The cocktails were strong! The whole table enjoyed the tuna crispy rice! The shrimp tempura roll was perfect. The restaurant is very pretty, the food tasted great and the service was attentive and friendly - which we fully appreciated! We will return when back in Chapel Hill!
Amazing Indo-Asian-Latin fusion! Fabulous ambiance and nicest owner who came by repeatedly to make sure everything was perfect! The food was creative, beautiful & outstanding!
We ate there the first time tonight. The cocktails were delicious, the food was fantastic and the service was great! The owner introduced himself and was very friendly. Great experience. We will definitely be back! Go try it!
