Impromptu ramen dinner. Well priced. Was very busy the night we dined there. Ramen was hot and decent size portion. Definitely an improvement from my previous ramen experience.
Went to this place with family on 30th. Ordered Miso, Karaage Chicken spicy and Ramen. The place was busy and ambience is very well done. The food was tasting good. Staff was very friendly and prompt.
This is a no nonsense ramen place, they take ramen seriously. Small joint but great ramen. As you enter you reach the cooking area and seating. you can enjoy your ramen being prepared in front you.
you can choose from variety of spicy levels and choice of meat from chicken and pork. I have tried several options and like all the variants. My personal favorite is pork miso ramen along with gyoza and chilli karage.
Go and try if you like Ramen.

This is a Summer post because I'm trying to cling on to the last bits of sunshine before Fall comes and then goes full Winter. . The only thing I really like cold in life are my noodles. It's almost as if I have an invisible radar for them that inevitably lands me in a restaurant with a bowl of chilled noodles in front of me. My favorites in no particular order are zaru udon, zaru soba, jjolmyeon, naengmyun and of course, ramen.
Weaker of the various locations of Kinton in Toronto. Still it carries the spirit of the chain and this directly translates into the deliciousness and powerful flavours for the many broth options!
However with four other shops in the city why settle for the one on Queens other than for convenience?
I came here for lunch seeing their chicken ramen combo. It includes one chicken ramen, 2pcs karaage and 2pcs gyoza. The fried chicken and gyoza were very delicious. I think they did better than other ramen restaurants. But the chicken soup for ramen was not as great as I expected. The thin noodle and chicken breast were good which made me not feel that much disappointed. Overall, I had a quite nice lunch here. I would definitely try their pork ramen next time.
The ramen was good and it's great that there is a chicken option as most ramen places have pork only or vegetarian. The place is pricey though because any add ins that a lot of other ramen places would already give you (egg, seaweed, etc) are extra.
Fried chicken in soup! Man it was as tasty!!! A bit pricey but very delicious if you want a quick meal and don't mind sitting close to people.
Noodles are good but I find the broth a little salty for my liking. The gyozas are great though! The karage chicken is okay - not one for the fried chicken...
When I finally found Kinton, I was sweaty, hungry, and exhausted.
I started my meal with a bottle of ASAHI BLACK ($7). Oh god bless those poor souls who spend $7 on a can of Canadian on Westjet. :)
I decided to get the Ramen Combo Special – with $2 more, I could choose a side dish to go with my regular ramen bowl ($10.90). So I picked Gyoza. The deep fried dumplings were cooked nicely with a crunchy exterior. The filling had a strong garlic/chive flavour, and the spicy mayo sauce was rich as well. I’m more of a fan of pan fried Gyoza, but I did enjoy those deep fried ones. And I chowed them down in a record time!
For Ramen, I had the options to pick from Pork and Chicken, different cuts of the meat, different broths (miso, shoyu, spicy garlic, etc), different levels of richness of the broth (light, regular and rich), 2 different types of noodles (thick and thin), and extra toppings for around $1 each. I picked Pork Belly Ramen with RICH Spicy Garlic broth, with thin noodles and no extra toppings. When it came, I was terrified by the big stack of finely chopped garlic on top of my noodle bowl. Well I did ask for it, didn’t I? But the spiciness of garlic complemented the rich and salty broth really well. I ended up enjoying the the noodle bowl a lot, although I hoping that I wouldn’t knock out Kyle with my garlic breath later on.
The ramen is fresh and flavourful. Amazing customer service.
One of my favourite ramen places in the city.
Got the Pork Miso Ramen with thin noodles. Tasted amazing-- creamy with just a hint of spice. Doesn't come with an egg, so had to pay $2 extra for one (worth it because that's my favourite part lol). You only get 2 thin pieces of meat. I kind of wish they were thicker.
Their pork gyoza and chicken karage always hit the spot.
Server was friendly. She gave us water to start and refilled later on. The wait for our food was not long at all so that was a plus.
Seating is one long table with stools so you may be sitting next to someone you don't know. But, hey! Strangers are just friends you haven't met yet!
Just ate here, and let me say it was amazing. They have a perfectly cohesive design and modern interior, not to speak of the food was delicious.
I would definitely recommend eating here!
I ordered Pork Spicy Garlic ramen, tasty. Sitting was somewhat small, right next to others. I should not forget to add some toppings next time.
Chicken miso and spicy veg miso was delicious as always. Keep coming for good food !!
Have returned.
Kinton is okay.
I have found the soup to be a little less thick, a little less robust than you would expect - I don't want to say watered down, but it doesn't have that rich mouthfeel that you should expect from good Tonkotsu.
Its convenient and consistent.
