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 of Kinton Ramen describe a place that started strong with flavorful bowls and now is seen by some as average and pricier than expected, yet the broad vegetarian options and comforting ramens keep many diners coming back. The broth favorites cited include miso and spicy garlic varieties, with springy noodles and fresh toppings that deliver rich, satisfying flavors and generous portions. Service is consistently praised for being fast and friendly, and the ambiance is described as cozy, clean, and suitable for a quick lunch or a casual dinner with friends or family. Some remarks note inconsistencies between locations and occasional slower service during busy times, along with practical quirks like seating that prioritizes style over function. Taken together, Kinton Ramen is viewed as a solid ramen spot with strong staff and good value in many reviews, especially for those seeking vegetarian options, though a few reviews call for improved value and consistency.
My go-to place for cheap & tasty ramen. I usually get the value meal. The pork gyozas have a nice crunch & the chicken ramen is filling, well-balanced, not too salty. Service is fast & the servers are friendly.
This restaurant does not seem like much from the outside, but is very lovely & modern. We are the „value meal'- Gyoza, Ramen of choice & one dink & payed around 20$ (with tax). It was very yummy & warming from the inside & really filling. So everything you could want from a ramen place for a good price! 🙌

I usually don't write google reviews unless there is something to say. Here's my review:
The cooking was nice, it wasn't busy so my food came fast ♡ The gyoza were crispy & well fried with a soft spicy sauce. The noodles I had (Choose the thin) were also nice, it feels nom nom-able in the mouth.
Overall the experience was nice.
However, I felt like a pressure 😂 Nothing much to overthink about it, the waitress kinda scared me, even though she is sweet & calm. I am also a waitress at my work so it is understanble the procedure, etc. It's just I felt like the tone was off, but this is just me. Everything is fine 👍 It was just at the beginning but at the end it was good.
Ordered veggie gyoza & the spicy garlic chicken ramen. Also, got a mini Sapporo (8oz), which is the perfect size to have with dinner. Both the gyoza & the ramen were good, but be careful, the spicy garlic is very spicy & may be a bit too hot for some people. Overall, good place for some ramen.
Very clean & modern new ramen spot that opened steps from Concordia metro. They have a great promo: 15.99$ for a drink, ramen & gyoza. Very accommodating for allergies as well! Would come back for sure

Had a great lunch at Kinton Ramen! They have a very diverse range of appetizers & Ramens. Our server Lexi made a great recommendation of the pork spicy ramen, with an extra seasoned egg & a side of gyoza. The portion was big (especially for the price, I almost couldn't finish it), had great toppings, tasty broth, & I think I could eat a dozen of those eggs alone!
Where oh where do I begin. Just a phenomenal establishment with a great value deal, fantastic ramen & gyoza, & exceptional staff. Lexi was very kind & prompt with her service, & even gave us some ice cream on the house! We were so thrilled with the experience that we decided to take a picture with her to commemorate the moment. Please frequent this fantastic restaurant & you will not be disappointed!
The food was very good, & the service was good at first until it wasn't. We had to keep raising our hands to get the waiter's attention, & we came with 2 Otakuthon 25% discount on our ramen (we were 2 people)... Oh Well, at least we got the free Gyoza for bringing someone with us. The meal was still very good.
