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.
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!
I recently tried the spicy beef garlic ramen at this spot, & it was absolutely fantastic. The broth had the perfect balance of heat & rich umami flavor. The beef was tender & flavorful, & the noodles had that ideal springy texture that shows they really know what they're doing.
The portion was generous, the service was friendly, & the atmosphere was warm & inviting. If you're a ramen lover or just someone who appreciates a great comfort meal, this place is definitely worth a visit. I'm already planning to come back & try more from their menu!

Amazing food, amazing service by Annie as well, compared to the other places in the city I surely think you get your moneys worth with each dish. The place also has great atmosphere & very clean.
Tried the Veggie Spicy Garlic Ramen & absolutely loved it. The broth has a deep, rich flavor with just the right kick of spice, & the garlic adds an amazing aroma without being overpowering. The noodles were perfectly chewy, & the toppings were fresh & well balanced. One of the best vegetarian ramen options I've had in the city. Definitely coming back for this.
