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.
Ramen at Kinton Ramen is consistently praised for rich broths, chewy noodles, and tender toppings with pork or beef options and popular spicy garlic varieties; the service is fast and friendly, the ambiance cozy and welcoming, and it is a reliable choice for lunch or a chilly day; lunch specials make it easy to order smaller portions for a midday meal, and many reviewers call it a great value; a few notes mention a missing mango cheesecake on a delivery, a mix up where a vegetarian ramen was served with pork, and other minor takeout issues; overall the experience is described as delicious and comforting, with attentive staff and dependable consistency.
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 😊
Super expérience chez Kinton Ramen ! J'ai pris le ramen au boeuf original & c'était vraiment délicieux , bouillon savoureux, viande tendre, portions généreuses. Service sympathique & ambiance agréable. Je recommande vivement, j'y retournerai !
I went on Dec. 12th 2025 & I'm happy they reverted back to their original broth from early 2024. The ingredients were plentyful & the bowl was amazing. The service was also really good. The 2 people who took care of us were pleasant & gave awesome service.
