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.
Moins de bouillon que l'habitude, extra manquant & froid. Oeufs pas comme d'habitude (habituellement ils sont au soya) pot de take out vraiment mauvais ça renverser dans nos deux véhicules. Entrée reçue après le repas. Tk ça aurais pu être mieux
Another stop on my neverending quest for the perfect Ramen. I've been to a few branches of this chain, which is usually good, but not great. No exception here. I had the takoyaki with the spicy garlic pork ramen. The takoyaki was fine, definitely a freezer to fryer operation, but the mouthfeel was good. The ramen also good, nice & spicy but lacked a bit of richness. I should have added an egg. The tea was nice, even if from a bag. My lunch cost a bit over 30$, which isn't cheap, but is unfortunately the new norm. Bonus points for the mouthwash in the washrooms, that's a great touch. Service was efficient & effective.
I have been going to Kinton Ramen since it opened! I have to say the food is delicious, service is good, but the atmosphere used to be better when they were calling out like they do in the Japanese culture
The garlic veggie spicy ramen was absolutely delicious. . It was a great experience with good service, & I'd definitely come back for the food! However, they should focus on the cleanliness of the restroom.
I've been going to this one for years. The food & the atmosphere is always great. The only reason for my 4-star rating is because it seems that the service lacks when you go on a Sunday. I've never had an issue with Saturdays or even during the week. I've been there twice on a Sunday & the staff sat us down rather quickly & then they FORGOT about us all together. We had to usher a waiter & let them know we were ready to order.

Premièrement, les gyoza sont toujours super bons & on aime les commander à chaque visite. En général, le ramen tonkatsu & très bon, le bouillon est gouteux & les nouilles sont très bons aussi, par contre, il y a quelques petits details: Je suis allée au Kinton plusieures fois dans la dernier anée, & même si la plupart de fois tout est bon comme attendu, il m'est arrivé une fois que notre bouillon etait trop reduit, & il goutait un peu l'eau. Il y a eu des fois aussi que les morceaux de porc etaient plutôt juste du gras sans quasiment rien de viande. Generalement, les oeufs sont pas super marinés & goutent pas trop comme des oeufs soya, cela est correct, ça fait pas une grosse difference, mais je trouve qu'il vaut le mentionner quand même. Le service est bon est les serveurs sont très gentils, mais il nous est arrivé une ou deux fois que le serveur a pris trop de temps avant de prendre notre commande, ou la nourriture prenait un peu trop de temps, c'est normal que cela arrive a l'heure de pointe, & ce n'était pas toutes les fois, mais encore une fois, vaut la peine de le mentionner. Le resto est bon, est je peux le recommander, mais ce n'est peut être pas le meilleur ramen que j'ai mangé de ma vie, & la variation de qualité entre chaque visite m'a laissé un peu déçue, juste parce que ça se peut que des fois la nourriture va pas être si bonne que des autres.
We got there today around 12:30 , end up waiting 10 min to be sitted , 10 more min for some one to take an order from us & another 30 min to get the food , we end up eating in a rush because we had to get our son from the daycare, the food was OK but everything else was soooo SLOW .
Helpful & friendly staff, delicious food. We ordered the new special ramen with sesame paste based broth & chili oil. It was the best ramen I have tasted at Kinton so far!
Way too many noodles for the amount of broth. Very skimpy on pork. Because of that, i always have to buy extra broth & extra pork. They put essentially 1 bacon slice cut in 2. The extra pork is another 4$ & is another slice of bacon cut in 2. If you like filling up with noodles, this is the spot. The broth is good.

Très fréquenté par les jeunes, le resto est très beau, achalandé & animé. Le service est sympathique & efficace. Il y a plusieurs choix de ramens bien bons. Difficile de faire mieux pour une chaîne.

We went on Sunday for dinner. I have a Kinton stamp card that I've had for a while. I just needed 2 stamps to finish my card. Our bill was $94.17 + $15 tip. The waitress would only put 1 stamp on my card & 1 stamp on my husbands card. I think that was really, really crappy.
Bouffes & ambiance exceptionnelle, quand tu feel pour manger avec des baguettes. Vous devez absolument essayer leurs oeufs à ramen, sinon, vous brûlerez en enfer pour l'éternité, plus 100 ans.
Première fois que je vais à un restaurant ramen. C'était exemplaire! Le personnel était très chauleureux, l'ambiance était agréable & la nourriture était exquise! Je retourne à coup sur.
