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.
Reviews describe Kinton Ramen as consistently delicious with rich broths, perfectly chewy noodles, and generous portions, with highlights including spicy garlic beef ramen, beef donburi, and pork shoyu. Gyoza and karaage appear frequently as well executed, flavorful sides that complement a comforting, well balanced ramen menu. The atmosphere ranges from cozy and calm to lively, and the staff are repeatedly noted as friendly, attentive, and quick, with takeaway and dine-in options described as fast and convenient and prices viewed as good value. While service is generally praised, a few notes mention slower pacing during peak times or busy days, but the overall sentiment emphasizes a reliable, high quality experience that makes it a favored spot for casual meals with friends or family. In sum, Kinton Ramen is seen as a dependable go-to for satisfying, comforting ramen in a welcoming setting.
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.
Amazing food, service & ambience. I ordered two chicken karaage. It tasted so good. I Actually want more. I tried their spicy garlic beef ramen & more again. I'll definitely go back again.

The food was great! I really loved the Beef Shoyu Ramen, the fries & the chicken kaarag The service was very fast & courteous as well. The servers Noelle & Paul were very friendly 🙂
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.
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!
The food here is pretty up to par with most other Kinton Ramens' in the city. The service is pretty bad thought - on my last visit I ordered the fried chicken, & never got it. They still tried to charge me for it when I left though, pretty weird. On other visits the service has been pretty slow, even when the place was pretty empty. Won't be going back to this location unfortunately!
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!

First Timer. Was walking by & decided to grab a bowl. No dedicated parking I think. Service was ok, wasn't perfect wasn't bad too. We took the chicken original & I personally had the spicy garlic pork & veg gyoza. The spicy garlic pork was very good. Super flavourful & a little spicy kick to it. Was told the chicken original also was good but the chicken itself didn't taste anything (see pic) I would recommend the spicy garlic pork though 👌
