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.
Easily one of my favorite Kinton Ramen -- staff are professional, thoughtful, & super attentive. Can't highlight these qualities enough! No brainer recommendation! Cheers to the staff!
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.

Love Kinton Ramen usually but this location is bad. Ordered online & the portion of food & soup is less than usual, ingredients & extras requested missing.
We have tried spicy garlic chicken ramen
If you are eating ramen first time then it will be different taste for you
Hot karage is very nice , crispy outside & soft inside
Quantity is more
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
