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.
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.
Après une très… très longue journée, nous avons passé une commande par téléphone au Kinton Ramen. À notre arrivée, on nous a informés que notre commande avait été perdue. Nous avons donc dû attendre qu'ils refassent complètement nos bols, ce qui a ajouter une faim dérangeante à la frustration de devoir attendre.
Nous sommes pourtant des clients réguliers & comprenons très bien que des erreurs peuvent arriver. Cependant, ce qui nous a le plus déçus est le manque de service à la clientèle. Malgré l'attente causée par leur erreur, aucun geste n'a été offert au moment du paiement : aucun rabais, aucun extra, rien pour compenser le désagrément.
Un simple geste commercial ou un peu plus d'attention envers des clients fidèles aurait vraiment fait toute la différence. Très décevant comme expérience.
I had a great experience at Kinton Ramen Laval. The place is very nice & welcoming, with a great atmosphere. The service was quick & efficient, which made the whole experience even better.
A special thank you to Coreen, who was very helpful & attentive throughout our visit. She made sure everything was perfect.
Definitely recommend this place if you're craving delicious ramen in Laval!
Un repas avec un bonne quantité & aussi qualité-prix. Pour le prix de $25, j'ai eu des entrées gyoza, le bol de ramen garni avec des oeufs, du porc & les ramens de mon choix, une grande boisson gazeuse & un grand verre d'eau. Le ramen était bien garni & a comblé ma faim. Le service était très courtois & attentif par Zacharie qui me fait revenir fois après fois. Je recommande fortement pour un repas complet & satisfaisant
My experience at Kinton Ramen laval was amazing! One of my first times eating ramen & it was delicious. Zoe, our waitress, was very helpful & knowledgeable when asked about what type of ramen we should get. She made our experience even better. 10/10 would recommend!
-Le bouillons vegé goute l'eau de vaisselle.
-Blédinde en canne.
-Champi sont bons.
-Les Vermicelles sont épaisse & au blé (pas au riz).
-Bamboo goutait le vinaigre délavé.
-Le tofu c'etait les petites pochette pour les sushi (celles qui goute sucré), une seule tranche, épaisseure de 3 feuilles de papier.
-Impossible de customisé le ramen sans payé d'extra (remplacer 2 ingredients du meme prix n'est pas possible).
-L'eau goutait fereuse dans leurs verre en aluminum.
Honêtement, place a évité, faites vous des ramens d'épicerie pis pimpez les chez vous... c'est apeupres la même affaire.

My gf & I visited Kinton Ramen Laval last night. We had a nice experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was lively & welcoming. We were served by the bonde girl. I think her name was Savannah. She was super friendly & made sure we were well taken care of! Definitely one of our favorite spots in Laval.
Kinton Ramen never misses!!! I always order the shoyu pork ramen, & it's consistently flavorful & filling - especially for the price. Zoe, our waitress, was super friendly & attentive!Definitely a classic spot with great food & great service.
Kinton Ramen has truly become like coming home to a big family 🤍
Every single member of the team is simply incredible. Beyond the fact that the food is unbelievably delicious, the atmosphere, the energy, & the care all come together to create an amazing experience every time.
A very special shout-out to Jenny & Celina 🥰 - they are truly two sunshine who make every visit even more special.
Kinton Ramen est très bien situé, juste à côté du Carrefour Laval, ce qui le rend super pratique. La nourriture était très bonne, avec des ramen de qualité & des saveurs bien maîtrisées. L'ambiance est cozy & fun, parfaite pour un repas décontracté entre amis ou en famille.
La seule raison pour laquelle ce n'est pas un 5 étoiles, c'est que les prix sont un peu plus élevés comparativement à d'autres restaurants de ramen. Cela dit, l'expérience reste très solide & vaut quand même le détour.
