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.
Amazing place!
The ramen here is absolutely delicious - rich, flavorful, & perfectly cooked. You can really tell they care about the quality of their food.
Special thanks to our waitress Paula - she was super friendly, attentive, & made our experience even better. Excellent service & great atmosphere.
Highly recommend this place, we'll definitely be back!
C'est ma deuxième fois au Kinton Ramen Pointe claire & j'ai toujours été satisfaite de leur service & de la qualité de leur cuisine ! Mon préféré est sans doute les ramen à l'ail épicé ! Aussi je trouve que c'est idéal pour une date entre amis ou en couple! & très abordable pour la quantité de nourriture que l'on reçoit ! Je recommande fortement.

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.
Très bonne expérience chez Kinton Ramen ! J'ai pris le ramen au porc : bouillon riche, viande tendre, nouilles parfaites. Service rapide & ambiance agréable. Je recommande & je reviendrai 😊
