Kinton Ramen is a fantastic spot that I adore for its inviting atmosphere, convenient location, & delicious food. The menu is straightforward, allowing you to mix & match ingredients to create your perfect bowl of ramen. The washrooms are impeccably clean, showing a thoughtful gesture of appreciation towards their guests. Despite being always full, especially during my usual Saturday lunchtime visits, the experience is always worth it.

I tried the original pork ramen with the thick noodles. The lunch special was $11.99. Great deal to try two different options. It was delicious. I found the broth needed a bit of spice, so I added sriracha. It was great! The pork was nicely seared. The service was good too. I like that the glasses of water are in metal tall cups to keep it extra cold! Bonus the bathrooms have mouth wash & toothpicks, which was nice after the meal.
The ramen is pretty good, the noodles weren't very flavourful & the pork was not tonkatsu, just a slice of pork, boiled, but the broth was surprisingly good & the soft boiled egg was perfect. There was no option for sauces to add, like in many other ramen shops (black garlic etc...). I also has the Spicy Karage which was really good. Overall a 3.5/5
Sets the bar for ramen. Every other ramen place should be at least as good for me to even consider nowadays. There are better ramen places for sure, but if I'm craving ramen & I don't want to go downtown, I don't feel like I'm settling for less when I hit up Kinton.
I took my friend here for lunch as she's from out of town & has really been wanting to try Ramen. This was definitely NOT the place to take her. The service above all else was terrible. The waitress came to take our order & we never saw anyone again for the rest of our meal, no check ins whatsoever. I ordered a chicken appetizer which was lacking any flavour, literally tasted like burnt chicken, rice & way too much salt. This could have been remedied if there was even a little bit of quality service at this place... the ramen was also of low quality. Really disappointing & definitely would not be back since when we expressed ourselves there was no apology or any kind of service recovery besides taking an uneaten dish off the bill which is bare minimum.
This ramen spot nails it! Broth is delicious, & the appetizers are amazing. Service is quick & the staff is super friendly! Perfect for a quick, tasty meal.
loved loved loved our dinner at kinton ramen. veggie dumplings were crispy & delicious & we demolished them quickly! then our soup meals came & mine was so flavorful & comforting & enormous i can't wait to have it again. eating with the authentic wooden ladles makes it so fun & a memorable experience. hubby's been to asia many times & really enjoyed the staff calling out in japanese & the atmosphere overall. added bonus: really nice bathrooms! we'll be back without question, with the kidz to enjoy the family meal deal!
1ere fois Les gyozas végé sont incroyables & la petite sauce épicée aussi. Pour les ramens, on a gouté shoyu boeuf & miso boeuf : - le bouillon miso très bon & les toppings aussi - le bouillon shoyu moins bon, goût légérement amer (trop de gingembre ?) - le boeuf était bon, malgré l'assaisonnement qui n'est pas à notre goût
Belle ambiance. Les menus sont simples & compréhensibles. Les ramens au poulet qu'on a commandé étaient délicieux. Les accompagnements aussi. Le service était bien & les employés chaleureux & souriants. Nous aurions seulement aimer que nos verres d'eau soient remplis une seconde fois, mais les tables étaient pleines. Nous reviendrons.
