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.
Need a better service during rush hour, usually it's pretty good until you get to the rush hours. Last time I was there, they placed me right in front of the prep station (not the best place when you are famished to be honest...), it took a little over an hour until I got my bowl & sitting there in front, just seeing bowls after bowls leave, it's not helping... My appetizer took a while to do, then once finished, it took forever for my ramen. All I saw was them stacking bowls & making 3-4 tables at once, also serve them all at once. I'm here wondering, why aren't they just making table by table? I do understand, it does help yes, but me, being alone & right in front of them, I'm starving to death here, couldn't they just make my bowl quick & just give? No, I had to wait another 5 to 10 mins for them to prep the other bowls for the other tables... So If you ever go there, avoid rush hours.
Honestly, not crazy about this spot. The soup didn't taste like anything exceptional, very basic & in my opinion, overpriced. You have to pay lots of extras if you want more toppings & flavour but it's just broth. The fried dumplings are just frozen then fried dumplings so nothing crazy. I personally would not go back here for ramen...
Restaurant super agréable , serveur trés compétent , leur soupe ramen super bonne & rempli d'ingrédiant(malgré que certain doivent être commandé en extra ) . Je reviendrai certainement !!
It's an okay ramen joint but obviously can't be compared with Sansotei Ramen. Everything is acceptable, but I can't find myself to like the flavor, not deep enough, sometimes too salty & confusing. I personally do not like the seating layout because it's all cramped, & the slot under our chair is not big enough for winter coats. Hangers are available in the front door, I'm not so sure if that is safe. Please change the spoon, I really find it hard to eat with a giant wooden scoop/spoon.

Le service est excellent, la nourriture est super bonne. Le restaurant est souvent plein, donc je conseille d'y aller plus tôt surtout pour l'heure du souper. Bref rien à dire, le restaurant est génial:)
Été essayé avec une amie. Ouf banc peu confortable pas de dossier pour le dos mais Bon on s'y fait. Superbe endroit personnel amusant avec l'ambiance. Bruyant mais on réussissait à jaser à 2 Dumpling porc délicieux en entrée Par contre ramen soyu boeuf très décevant. Aucun goût 2 petit morceau de boeuf ça disait avec gingembre ail & soya ça goûtait juste rien... On a commandé d'autre Dumpling car c'était bon & on avait faim. Je suis reparti littéralement sur mon appétit... Je ne crois pas y retourner...
Le Ramen Shoyu Brûlé est délicieux! Tout le personnel est gentil & accueillant. On est mis en ambiance par le beau decor & l'accueil en japonais! Un excellent repas.🎉
