Kinton Ramen earns praise for rich, comforting broths, generous portions and a wide range of options from pork and spicy garlic beef to vegetarian bowls. Noodles are generally well cooked, toppings are high quality, and broth flavors stay balanced across many classics. The ambiance is warm and unpretentious, making it suitable for a casual lunch, a family meal, or a cozy date, while service is often described as fast, friendly and attentive. Value is a common theme, with many reviewers noting generous portions and reasonable prices, occasionally tempered by comments about extra charges or price for certain toppings. Some reviews point to standout details like thoughtful packing for takeout and reliable consistency across visits, while others mention rare missteps such as under seasoned, watery broth or a dish that arrived cold or overly salty. The range of options also means vegans and meat lovers can find satisfying choices, and several posts highlight the quality of eggs, donburi options, and the occasional dessert or summer special. Cleanliness and a welcoming staff contribute to a positive overall impression, and many readers say they will return to try other bowls. In short, Kinton Ramen is a dependable go to for flavorful ramen and solid service, with most experiences lining up as enjoyable, though some days may vary.
We thought it was very expensive for what it was: ramen fast food in a cafeteria-like setting. The vegetable one had one very thin piece of tofu, the pork one was decent, but we both were hungry 1hr after. (Normal hunger individuals lol).
I would not return.
Good service & environment. But the food is just not worth it. The picture I took, a small bow of fry chicken. 9 dollars for three pieces. 3 dollars each piece. & it's not even that good. The ramen, I ordered spicy garlic pork. It's two dollars more than original. I thought it's not bad. Two dollars for some spice. Then it served. There was no egg, & no seaweed. Feels betrayed. Yeah it's written on the menu, i should've read the menu. But I feel tricked, because it's in the same column with the same picture as display. Not recommended.
The spicy pork with corn topping is the best. The seasoned eggs were also a great addition. Karaage spicy chicken was very spicy & crispy. Good service
I first discovered Kinton Ramen when I was visiting Toronto & I fell in love at first slurp. You can guess how happy I was to discover that one was opening so close to me. The pork miso soup is my go-to!
Used to come here on a regular basis. The broth, the pork changed & now as of today, the noodles are not longer the same. Everything has changed for lower quality. I am so disappointed, it was my favorite place.
Our waitress Lena was attentive & nice; recommended the pork miso which was good. Excellent service, food was fine & the bathrooms were nice. Overall good experience
I took the special "Ramen au Sésame Doré" tasted amazing a rich broth & just spicy enough. I would have prefer regular pork. But the minced one was good too. Also tried the Porc Donburi & Gyoza (pork), both tasted good & flavor full. We accompanied our meal with sake (one person size) For a first visit, I'm pretty amazed. I'll definitely come back. They also have a vegetarian variant for ramen soup 🍜
Lunch special is definitely worth it. For around 12$ you can get the original pork ramen & a gyudon. They don't advertise it in the restaurant but it is on their website. You'll just have to ask the waiter. Not the best ramen I've had as I found the broth a bit bland but for the price, I would come back!
Nice spacious place for great ramen. Been to many Kinton ramen & this one doesn't disappoint. My favorite is still the originals pork ramen with thick noodles. They have a lunch special before 3pm & happy hours for drinks between 3 & 5pm. Def coming back .

Kinton Ramen est une excellente place pour manger des ramens! Portions raisonnables & délicieuses. Je vous conseille le Pork Spicy Garlic si vous aimez ça épicé. Un endroit à essayer!
I ordered the original pork ramen. The ramen is cooked perfectly. The broth is just okay. The only thing I dislike is the noodle do not come any side vege like corn kernel for example. I know, you can pay extra for it but a 17$ ramen just come with 2 pieces of pork & one egg...I mean... maybe it is okay for some. It is subjective. I just found it is a bit overpriced. Sevice is good. Staff are active & willing answer question. The resto is clean & spacious. Seat is hard bench. So I won't say it is comfortable.
