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.
I came for lunch with a couple of friends and I found this place to be quite good for ramen. I had the miso ramen with pork belly topped off with an egg. It was very flavorful, and I was very impressed with how they did the egg. Usually ramen places undercook their eggs, but this one, was just the right consistency.
I would definitely come back here.
Visited this place for lunch. Went with Pork Ramen, Spicy Garlic, and Pork Belly. Very delicious! I would certainly recommend this restaurant. Lots of flavour.
The place feels really authentic, like eating at a japanese ramen shack. The ramen was good and the soup wasn't as salty as regular ramen (which is good). Also the takoyaki felt more authentic and tasted better! You get a stamp card for finishing the entire bowl (including soup).

DERRICIOUS?!?: Your belly will be satisfied after slurping down the ramen & broth. SLURP AWAY!!! Kinton Ramen , Queen St West location, is the 3rd Japanese ramen joint by the restaurant group. The menu is similar to the original one- the quality is consistent between both locations. I am very particular with my ramen- I usually only order one variety of ramen - the Pork Ramen with Shio Broth, with an added egg. I ordered the same for this location. The menu isn’t cluttered with options but there is a good variety. I like how you they let you choose a variety of options in your ramen, such as the type of broth (light, medium, thick/heavy), the type of ramen, and extra “accessories”, such as the egg. I only had the ramen and nothing else, but looking at other tables, the other food looks pretty decent as well. Great way to start or end a cold day!!!

This was my first time getting ramen so I can't really compare my experience here with similar places. However I really enjoyed my meal here and will probably be trying some other good spots for ramen soon :)
There is very limited seating and you are seated with others at the restaurant, but that didn't take away from the meal and I was still comfortable at the table. Service was relatively quick, considering I went during the lunch rush.
I ordered the Spicy Garlic Pork Shoulder Ramen with extra pork, and a side of the Gyoza. The extra meat option gives you 3 times the normal portion of meat. While this probably wasn't absolutely necessary considering the portions are pretty good, it kept me very full until a late dinner. The flavour was great and the pork was lean but tasty. The Gyoza was a little too crisp, but was still really good! The sauce on the gyoza is awesome-sauce.
I'll more than likely be coming back here, I've got my eye on their Sapporo Big Mug (32oz) :D
I do like this place...
The staff are always great and super quick and attentive! The kitchen crew are always yelling and are quite playful. The Ramen is pretty good, no frills to it, I definitely have had better, with more flavour though. I am also not the biggest fan of their little wooden stools and sitting so close to my neighbouring parties....
Kinton Ramen!! Best pork ramen I've ever tasted in my life.
The place is usualy packed during lunch hours. Even to get a takeout will take quite a bit of time, but all is worth it.
There are steps to order ramen from this place. You can pick the type of broth (pork, of course), level of broth richness, thick/thin noodle, soup type, meat options etc. My suggestion is to go all pork!! Go pork or go home.
You can also add additional toppings to the ramen. I usualy put an extra seasoned boiled egg to add more awesomeness.

I had heard quite a bit about Kinton Ramen from people around me. Decided to go for this. It was my first time eating Ramen, and I decided that it was best that I take someone who knows it best. Once you enter Kinton, you are hit with the scent of ramen through the place. We had to go for a take away and they have a really neat way to do it. They have a slips with check boxes on the kind of ramen you want. I went with the chicken broth, thin noodles, with chicken breast and corn. They give the broth and the noodles with chicken and corn in two separate containers. The food was really good, and I was full before I knew it. Highly recommended.
They have a selection of ramen with reasonable portions and excellent flavour. Their option to add pieces of pork, eggs, or other ingredients allows diners the ability to tailor their bowl of ramen as they desire. The establishment is very cramped however and is not suitable for large parties. But if you are looking for a good meal with a close friend in an upbeat atmosphere, this is the place to go.
Kinton Ramen Queen street is the best place to go for some delicious ramen noodles. The place is usually crowded most of the time and kind of loud as well with the servers screaming every time somebody enters the restaurant. My favorite is the spicy garlic ramen with rich broth and pork belly, absolutely filling and full of flavor. The sake hot or cold is pretty good as well, the service is great and quick even with the large amount of customers. The ambiance is great with communal type seating and reasonable prices.
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.
