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.
I love the Kinton in Ottawa so I had to visit when I came to Montreal. Best Ramen by far! Gibrane really made sure we had a great experience! Will definitely be coming back next time I'm in town!!
The ramen was delicious, & the atmosphere was cozy & welcoming. A special thanks to Gibrane for the exceptional service, his attentiveness & friendliness really enhanced our dining experience. Highly recommend!
It's not everyday where you can find a ramen store that sells chicken based ramen, but I'm glad I found one. The chicken spicy jalapeno had the right mix of poultry & firey flavor that really had my tounge on the edge. A server named Gibrane made me at ease & comfortable ordering to my tastes as he warmly welcomed me & explained how each dish can fit my mood. Like a well seasoned broth sommelier, he invited me to explore & ponder on the intrincacies of miso, or the endless possibilities of shoyu. Though my heart was set on passion, & towards fire I wanted to go. Without judgement, Gibrane masterfully led me to what I profoundly desired: a spicy ramen that would bring me back to my travels in India. I thoroughly enjoyed my chosen experience for my dinner. Though one thing is not to be forgotten! What is food witout its carrier, it's story & it's narrator. So thank you for the exceptional service that night. Thank you Kinton, & thank you Gibrane.
Ramen is very standard for Kinton locations, & the space is slightly tight. However, I gave 5 stars because Mr Gibrane elevated our evening by providing world class service. For this alone, I would consider coming back.
Got the spicy miso ramen suggested by my server Gibrane. It was really good. The food here is much better than other Kinton ramens & the service was really good, or maybe we were lucky to get Gibrane as our server. We also tried the karage & it was pretty good. Would've preferred if it was a bit more crunchy. Overall I would comeback again.

We came here on a Sunday afternoon because I was in the area for some work & was craving some ramen. Overall the food was pretty good. Much better than what you can expect from a franchise restaurant. We got the Karage, the pork miso & the spicy pork miso ramen. The karage was ok, I would've preferred it to be a bit more crunchy. Gibrane, our waiter was suggested the spicy pork miso for my wife. Honestly the spicy pork was amazing, my wife loved it & we got lucky to have Gibrane recommend it to us. The service was also really good & Gibrane cleaned the table for us very quickly when I accidentally spilled my water. I would 100% comeback here again for the food & the service.
The food was great! I got some cold noodles from their new summer menu. They were very refreshing. My server, i think her name was Cynthia, was wonderful. She had such a cheerful attitude & gave me recommendations on how to properly eat my noodles without being overwhelmed by the saltiness of the soy sauce! Overall a very nice experience.

I had Jessica as a server & she was amazing! I had a hard time deciding what meal to pick & usually I get shy to ask for recommendations, but she was very friendly & i felt comfortable talking to her. Plus the food was very good! Definitely recommend!
