KINTON RAMEN opened its first location in May 2012, debuting as Toronto’s first authentic Japanese ramen bar. With a dedicated focus on ramen, executive chef Aki Urata is uncompromising in his pursuit to serve the best quality noodles and broth. Our experienced ramen chefs prepare each and every topping, using only the freshest and highest quality ingredients. At KINTON RAMEN we invite you to experience our variety of exceptional ramen bowls, right down to the last drop.
Reviewers describe Kinton Ramen as a cozy, welcoming spot with consistently delicious ramen, rich broths, generous portions, and a wide range of options from spicy garlic pork to miso, shoyu, and jalapeno chicken, with sides like gyoza and takoyaki also praised; the atmosphere is lively and the service is often described as fast, attentive, and friendly, helping diners choose and feel at home, though some note higher prices, occasional long waits, and occasional issues such as missing ingredients or insufficient broth on takeout; overall, experiences are largely positive with many calling it a dependable favorite and a place that captures a strong sense of hospitality and quality.
Just wanted to try some ramen, & the old man (dad) has well. Excellent, full course meal entres, had the original beef ramen at first, than was hungry for more so had the origal porc ramen. Hab beer has well eith dessert later on. 4 selections of cheese cakes. The people are very polite, so a great experience all in all. I did buy alot of food, the prices are reasonables.
Our waitress was lovely, food was okay, kind of boring, the egg & beef were delicious but after eating the protein there's nothing left & the rest is repetitive. It was nice to try but wouldn't come back
Great atmosphere & nice music vibes. I have had kinton ramen for over 30 times by now taking different combinations & even got a t-shirt for being loyal & collecting the points lol
Shoyu beef or Shoyu porc have been my favorite so far. Sometimes it may be hit & miss over last 2 years for me around service & food quality but today was great. Not too salty, the broth was really hot, just like I like it.
Actually, it would be a 3.5* review. First of all, they did not have sake (only beer). Second of all, after we asked for the check, we had to wait about 15 minutes (the waitress admitted she forgot about us). Finally, the food was just alright. For instance, we ordered beef shoyu & the beef was really cold & the Tokyo fries were just regular fries (too salty, if you ask me) sprinkled with nori & served with ketchup (no resemblance to what you can normally eat in Asakusa, Shibuya, Shinagawa or Shinjuku, to name only the most popular areas where you can eat proper Tokyo fries). Otherwise, nice interior, good location (across from Carrefour Laval), & decent prices.

First of all, the place was packed on a Monday evening which is an indication in itself. The atmosphere is lovely but subtle. It was literally my first time eating ramen...Took beef bowl with the entree of 4 pork gyoza, came with a soft drink for 26$ . Other people at the table had chicken & spicy & vege variations. We all loved our meal. The star for me was the beef, so tender & seared on the grill, it was perfection.
