The short answer
If you want a proper bowl of ramen during a Menton stay, central Menton is still more useful for sushi and broader Japanese cooking than for dedicated noodle shops.
The good news is that Menton works very well as a base. Beausoleil gives you the closest dedicated stop, while Nice offers the strongest overall range within an easy train trip.

Can you eat ramen in Menton itself?
Strictly speaking, central Menton still does not offer a clear dedicated ramen address. If you want Japanese food without leaving town, Le Sasano remains a reliable seafront option and Kinto Sushi is one of the more useful newer sushi names in town.
Both make sense when the goal is simply Japanese food, but neither is the place we would choose if the point of the meal is ramen first.

The closest dedicated bowl: Beausoleil
Ramen toi sushi in Beausoleil is the closest straightforward ramen stop to Menton. It is the practical answer when you want a proper broth without committing to a full Nice day.
Because it sits well for a Monaco-side detour, it can fit naturally into a Monaco event weekend or a short train outing.

Nice is where the real range begins
For the best overall ramen choice, Nice is still the strongest answer. IPPON YA RAMEN is the clearest first recommendation, while Realamen, Ramen Kumano and OTAKU make sense depending on where you already are in the city.
IKKO Ramen is the enthusiast option: small, locally respected and less certain as a casual walk-in. It is worth planning around if ramen is one of the main reasons for the Nice trip.

What about Monaco?
Monaco does Japanese fine dining better than it does ramen. Addresses such as Yoshi and The Niwaki can be excellent if you want a broader Japanese meal, but they are not the practical ramen-first answer for most Menton guests.

Why Menton still works as the base
One of the advantages of staying in Menton is that you can go out for lunch or dinner in Monaco or Nice, then come back to a quieter seaside apartment the same evening.
All Azur Menton apartments are air-conditioned, so even a hot summer return after a bowl of ramen in Nice can end in a comfortable evening back by the sea.
