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.
Kinton Ramen is consistently praised for rich, flavorful broth, chewy noodles, and generous toppings, with pork, beef, and spicy garlic ramen among the favorites and a comforting, warming feel that makes it a top pick on cold days. The ramen is described as well balanced and carefully prepared, with tender meat and fresh accompaniments, and the gyoza and karaage often mentioned as excellent add ons, along with desserts like yuzu ice cream. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with a modern, friendly vibe, and the service is repeatedly noted as fast, attentive, and welcoming, making it a reliable spot for casual meals, dates, or group outings. Many reviewers mention good value for money and a consistently high standard in both dine in and takeout experiences, though one account notes a lapse in honoring a dietary restriction and another mentions missing items in a takeout bag. Overall, Kinton Ramen is seen as a top ramen destination with loyal fans for the original beef and spicy garlic pork ramens, a wide range of flavors, and dependable service that keeps patrons returning.
The ramen itself was outstanding. The broth was rich, flavorful, & perfectly balanced - you can really taste the care & quality in every spoonful. The noodles were cooked just right, with that ideal chewy texture, & the toppings were fresh & generous. The pork was tender & melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Every bite felt comforting & satisfying
I had a great experience at Kinton, the noodles were the perfect amount of firmness & the broth tasted amazing (I had the vegetarian shoyu brûlée). My fiancé said the tofu tasted just like the pork version. The servers were extremely kind, especially Bun!
Edit: We ordered the Vegetarian Shoyu brulee a few weeks later & we are pretty sure we got served the pork ramen when we wrote this review, since it tasted very different from this time we tried it, which was more in line with how their other vegetarian ramens taste. No wonder my fiance thought they made a great vegetarian Chashu that tasted just like pork.. it was pork. This is an unfortunate situation since we very clearly asked for vegetarian ramens. Changed from 5 stars to 2 stars because not honoring a dietary restriction is unacceptable.
Quick & efficient service. Original ramen with pork was excellent, egg & noodles were cooked perfectly. Broth was rich & the pork was salty & burned just enough. Great combination.

Delicious ramen! I had the Original Pork Ramen-flavorful broth, tender pork, & perfect noodles. Friendly staff & a nice, clean space. Great spot in Pointe-Claire!
This place is a must for me when I come to Montreal to visit my wife. I always have the Miso pork with thick noodles. Filling & wonderful experience every time. Here's to the next time I'm back in town.
Kinton Ramen exceeded my expectations! The food, the atmosphere, & the service were all top-notch. I tried the pork donburi, karaage, & pork spicy ramen, & every dish was fantastic.
The pork spicy ramen had a rich, flavorful broth with the perfect level of heat, & the noodles were cooked just right. The karaage was crispy on the outside, tender & juicy inside-one of the best I've had! The donburi was packed with flavor & had a great balance of textures.
Service was fast & friendly, & the overall experience was amazing. If you're looking for a great ramen spot, Kinton Ramen is a must-visit. I'll definitely be coming back!
Got the Original Pork & was able to add black garlic oil since they had it for the monthly special. So good! We were a group of 8 & our waiter Rocio was extremely kind, patient & accommodating!
The food at Kinton is always super flavourful, very fresh & hot. Love seeing their new seasonal flavours. Their Pork Shoyu is my favourite ramen, & my go-to when I have a craving for ramen.
I had the pork shoyu ramen woth thick noodles. The flavor was delicious & the portions were appropriate. Furthermore, the waiters were friendly & made sure that we were comfortable. Will definitely come again!
