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.
Overall, Kinton Ramen earns high marks for flavorful ramen with rich broths and perfectly cooked noodles, a cozy immersive atmosphere that evokes Japan, and consistently friendly, efficient service from many staff members, making it a reliable go-to for friends, families or a casual date; the menu features creative monthly specials that keep the experience fresh and the location offers good value, while a few reviews note occasional delays, some service missteps when busy, and the occasional price concern.
Came to Kinton Ramen recently & honestly had such a good experience. Soo, Rebeka, Lindsey, Tristan, & the rest of the crew were all super friendly & welcoming the whole time. Service was quick, everyone checked up on us often, & the vibe felt really comfortable. You can tell the staff actually care about the customers. Food was amazing too! Will for sure be coming back!
Not recommended, go to another ramen spot. The ramen had potential to be flavorful without being overly salty but it was extremely salty. The saltiness was ruining the flavours instead of enhancing it.
food was meh. order an original beef ramen soup, tasted like straight up unseasoned mushroom soup & the beef was full of fat. i expected more. bland noodles, the water they served was tap water, & overall the experience was just kind of plain. the only good thing about it was the boiled egg & the singular seaweed.
Nouvelle découverte pour moi & mon conjoint, on va revenir c'est certain! Service ultra rapide & agréable, on a bien répondu à nos questions par rapport au menu. Les gyozas au porc, en accompagnement, étaient délicieuses, on en aurait repris. On a essayé le ramen au porc à l'ail épicé & celui au boeuf aux jalepenos épicés. Les deux étaient excellents, mais attendez-vous à ressentir un peu chaleur!
Excellent service au kinton de sav & annabel! Très accueillantes & rapides. Nous avons commandé le ramen boeuf original & c'était juste à mon goût, toujours un plaisir d'y retourner!
Always awesome to get some ramen here. Favorite local spot for me & my group of friends. Great service, great food, great time! 100% recommend to anyone looking to end their shopping session with a delight.
Quelle belle découverte! J'ai pris le ramen au poulet original. Délicieux, savoureux, chaud mais pas brûlant; parfait! Le gâteau au fromage & mangues était également tout à fait exquis. Endroit propre (même les toilettes), service agréable & rapide. J'y retournerai ❤?
Je suis venue manger avec ma soeur & Mars était notre serveuse elle a rendu notre expérience vraiment agréable je recommande l'expérience & les ramen sont vraiment bon

Nous avons mangé au Kinton Ramen la semaine dernière pour mon souper de fête & tous ceux qui ont commandé des oeufs dans leur ramen (3 personnes sur 4) ont été extrêmement malades pendant 3 jours. Mon père a fait de la fièvre & a perdu connaissance. J'ai eu des vomissements, diarrhées, gros étourdissements & chutes de pression. Je ne recommande surtout pas ce restaurant si vous ne voulez pas en sortir malade!
Toujours un plaisir, notamment les serveurs Erv & Mars qui sont sympathiques & serviables, & ont la chance de servir ma gang d'amis 2 mercredis par mois.
Le ramen Sesame doré est incroyable, en esperant qu'il reste sur la carte !
Kinton Ramen at Carrefour Laval is a welcome addition to the North Shore dining scene, delivering the same quality that made me a fan of this chain pre-COVID.
Atmosphere:
The decor truly transports you to Japan. Thoughtfully designed with authentic Japanese elements, the space creates an immersive dining experience that sets the mood perfectly for enjoying a bowl of ramen. It strikes the right balance between modern & traditional, making it both visually appealing & comfortable.
Service:
Staff were friendly & accommodating from the moment we arrived. They provided a high chair for our little one without hesitation, showing the same attention to families as they do to solo diners & couples. Service was efficient & warm throughout our meal.
Food:
This is where Kinton continues to shine. The ramen is consistently excellent, with rich, flavorful broths & perfectly cooked noodles. What I particularly love are their monthly special ramen offerings-creative, seasonal bowls that keep the menu exciting & give regulars a reason to return. The quality has remained high since my pre-COVID visits, which is a testament to their commitment to standards.
Verdict:
For ramen lovers on the North Shore, Kinton at Carrefour Laval is a must-visit. It brings authentic Japanese ramen culture to Laval with excellent food, immersive atmosphere, & friendly service. Whether you are a longtime fan or a first timer, it delivers a satisfying experience.
