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.
Went to eat there on a thursday night, very nice casual setting, lively place, service was very nice, friendly & helpful. Not a huge soup fan in general but had a spicy ramen soup, entry & dessert, all were excellent. Very happy with our choice, will return for sure.

I had the Beef Spicy Garlic Ramen, & honestly, it hit the spot. The broth had a good kick without being overwhelming, the beef was tender, & everything felt balanced. I ended up finishing the whole bowl - not because I planned to, but because it kept getting better with each bite.
Service was friendly, & the place has a relaxed vibe. If you like a bit of spice & solid comfort food, this is a good pick.
Wonderful ramen place :) always have a good time! Soup is delicious! Go to is spicy garlic beef ramen.
Am updating my review from my experience tonight. Called for pick up, grabbed my order & went home (30 mins away) realized they didn't put everything in my order. Called to see if they could do anything like deliver the missing soup but they said no & could only keep my info & keep a free soup for the next time or I come back to get it. I was very annoyed cause my night plans were pretty much ruined with all the driving & I assumed when I got there they would have offered a little coupon or something for the inconvenience but they did not….so just always check your bag before you leave the restaurant just incase they didn't put everything.

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!

We loved this location, decided to give it a shot after trying delivery. We had the chicken miso & spicy beef. Food was delicious & my favourite was the dessert, mango cheese cake. Excellent service & cozy ambiance:)
Had the spicy garlic pork ramen with my boyfriend & it was very delicious, wish there was less noodles, but the broth was amazing, definitely will be going back The server was so sweet, excellent customer service
First time here. Food was great, the spicy beef Ramen was excellent. Unfortunately the service was terrible. She sat us down & never came back to take our order, we waited close to 20 minutes to finally get our order & it was with a different server who was quick! We also witnessed another couple who came in & waited a good 30 minutes no one came & got their order so they left.. We were about to walk out as well. To bad, it's a great place.
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
