I had such an amazing experience at Kinton Ramen, & I just had to share it-especially because of Iliana. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt warm & welcoming, but Iliana truly made everything exceptional.
First of all, the ramen here is honestly the best I've ever had. The broth is rich & full of flavor, the noodles are perfectly cooked, & every ingredient tastes fresh & well-prepared. You can really tell they put care into every bowl. I love it so much that I travel about 40 minutes just to come here & have my supper-that says everything!
But what made this visit even more special was Iliana's service. She was incredibly kind, attentive, & made sure everything was perfect for me. She had such a positive attitude, & you can tell she genuinely cares about customers having a great experience. It's rare to find someone who brings that level of energy & warmth.
Dining here doesn't just feel like eating out-it feels like something to look forward to after a long day. The combination of delicious food & amazing service makes this place stand out from so many others.
I'll definitely keep coming back, no matter the distance. Highly recommend this place to anyone who loves ramen or just wants a great dining experience. & if you get served by Iliana, you're in the best hands!

Yum food as always. Just really the economy right now making the price steep affecting the quantity of the chicken karaage & the thickness of the chashu. Original Tonkatsu broth is less savory but still good. The spicy garlic ramen, egg is an add-on but the spice & garlicky flavor is just perfect.
I had a great experience at Kinton Ramen. The broth was rich & full of flavor, & the noodles had the perfect texture. The portions are generous, & everything tasted fresh & well-prepared. The pork was especially tender & well-seasoned.

Great Ramen I always recommend trying out their specials its always something tasty & interesting flavour wise. The broth is out of this world truly. The chairs could use some cushioning but other than that the place is excellent.
Delicious, rich broth & perfectly chewy noodles easily some of the best ramen I've had. The beef was tender, the egg perfectly jammy, & the flavors were spot-on. Cozy vibe, friendly staff, & fast service. Can't wait to come back!

The ramen here changed my life. 100% recommend. If you're in the area it's a MUST GO. The Tokyo fries incredible, the beef exquisite, the broth pristine, & the eggs immaculate.
Amazing ramen spot in Côtes-des-Neiges! The broth is super flavorful, noodles cooked perfectly, & portions are generous. Cozy vibe & really friendly staff - easily one of my go-to places for comfort food in Montreal.
Kinton has a special going on now. basic chicken or beef, an entre of fries & a soft drink. good overall value but basic ramen, you will want to add some things.
Classic Kinton, always consistent, noodles are good but the bowl could use more broth.
Service is good & place always clean.

Kinton Ramen was a wonderful experience! The staff was wonderful-friendly, efficient, & welcoming. The quality was superb, with deep, bold broths & perfectly cooked noodles. The whole environment was lively & inviting, an ideal place to take refuge in a warm bowl of ramen. Well worth the visit!
I had an amazing experience at kinton ramen! From the moment I walked in, the warm & inviting atmosphere set the perfect tone for an unforgettable meal. The staff was very friendly. Gibrane explained me the menu & he recommend me to take this ramen I don't regret it at all.
Now, let's talk about the ramen-absolutely incredible! The broth was rich, flavorful, & perfectly balanced, while the noodles had just the right amount of chewiness. I tried the chicken miso, made by Annabelle & Henry. The combination of tender chicken breast, perfectly cooked egg, & fresh toppings made every bite a delight.
The portions were generous, the presentation was beautiful, & the flavors were out of this world. If you're a ramen lover (or even if you're not-yet), this is a must-visit spot. I can't wait to come back & try more from the menu! Highly recommend!
As I took a sharp turn on Côte-des-Neiges road, I knew that it was time, time to satiate a grumble that was caused from deep within me. With several well ordained cafes by the local community, I wasn't sure all too well where to go.
Decisions in today's age, as we know has become paralyzing. As I invited myself to meditate & overcome my food overthinking, I saw an unusual glitter from a sign that spelled Kinton.
The odd juxtaposition of this two syllable name aside, I was intrigued by the colours of batman, the black & yellow that bestowed upon me the confidence that this experience would certainly be no joke: I entered the store.
It was a ramen shop run by a tight knit group of people. Paul welcomed me, Annabelle prepared for me, Henry cooked for me, Gibrane served me. Like a series of well-rehearsed, fluid passes that are ever so common in the NBA, a warm earthly dish arrived with the scent of deeply roasted porc broth that bathed my mouth right away. My tongue did not sink, nor was it ever allowed to rest, as the combination of noodles & the green onions swirled to keep me on the edge.
Alas, the storm had passed, & the calm took place when the yuzu tea came into play. It was a journey, like the ones we make whenever we decide to take a sharp turn in the narrow streets of Golden Gai, Tokyo.
As I went home, I got the message that the crew at the restaurant managed to convey: Take a turn, take a chance-Kinton's got the perfect dance.
Great spot for delicious ramen! The broth was rich, the noodles were on point, & everything tasted fresh. Shoutout to Gibrane for his awesome service-super friendly & made the experience even better. Definitely worth a visit!
My boyfriend & I visited Kinton Ramen during a day out in downtown Montreal, & it was a great experience from start to finish. We were welcomed & seated promptly, & the staff was friendly & professional throughout our visit. We chose the "Meal for 2" option, which came with two ramen bowls, two soft drinks, & an appetizer. The fries we picked were amazing-crispy, perfectly salted, & fresh. I ordered the chicken ramen with thin noodles, which was delicious. Everything tasted fresh, & even the mushrooms (which I usually skip) were enjoyable. The broth was flavorful & suited my taste, although some might prefer it a bit saltier. My boyfriend had the beef ramen (with a small supplement as mentioned on the menu) & loved it. The portions were generous, & although I took a picture after we started eating, it doesn't fully capture how well-presented the dishes were. I don't typically comment on restaurant bathrooms, but Kinton Ramen's were spotless & modern, with a nice touch-a mouthwash station for customers. My boyfriend also appreciated the men's facilities. We had a great time & will definitely return. Highly recommend it!
