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.
