KINTON RAMEN

Made a reservation and when I arrived the staff claimed I had not made a reservation. Although I provided them with proof. Asked to talk with a manager and I was told the manager was not available. Very rude staff. Think very hard about spending your money at this establishment. We all work very hard for our money in these challenging economic times.so we should choose to spend our money at places that at the very least treat us with respect.

One of the worst experiences I have every endured. Made a reservation for a party of 8 on the phone. When my party arrived they had not put aside any table, they even had a note of my reservation. I had two small kids with me who were very hungry and was forced to scramble to find some other place to eat. The service was absolutely apauling as the staff refused to let me talk to the supervisor or Manger. They kept making excuses saying the manager was 10 mins away and another staff stated there was no manager. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT AND WISH I COULD GIVE "0" STARS. I will ensure that I will tell anyone i meet that inquires about food places in the tricities to avoid this resturant at all costs.

Delicious Food. I love the seasoned egg. The manager was also super helpful and patient in helping me find my lost AirPods in the restaurant.

To start with, i just love ramen. And the people there are so friendly. If you want to try authentic ramen you must try this place. Its amazing! And my friend Rose introduced us to lot of different dishes! Overall just wowww!

The service is so good and the food is great. I'll gladly recommend it because they have various choices of ramen and sides

I feel like Ramen is the perfect comfort food for rainy and cloudy weather like we're having these days. There's something about it that warms the soul and makes everything feel right with the world

And imo Kinton is an absolute gem that so far never failed to impress me with its delicious flavours. My favourite one her is the veg spicy garlic. I order it every single time because it's just that good. (They have many other flavours and they’re all delicious but the spicy garlic is my go to option ‍️)

It is always packed with so much flavor and the perfect amount of heat. The noodles are cooked to perfection, and the broth is incredibly rich bursting with the bold flavors of garlic and spices that leave a delightful tingle on my tongue. The vegetables and other toppings are always fresh and vibrant making each bite a delightful explosion of taste and texture.

The service is also top-notch. The staff are friendly and attentive, and the ambiance is cozy and inviting.

I tried the chicken karaage, pork donburi, and pork gyoza. All were excellent! Gave atmosphere a lower rating because the chairs are very uncomfortable and have no backs. Otherwise, everything here was delightful.

Nice little Korean ramen point on the main Street. Close to authentic and good options on menu and

You can feel the ambiance of Japanese culture especially all the staff they are really approachable with their pleasing personality. You can feel the vibes of them along lines of their energy and lively voice. And lastly the most valuable thing that I really like is the Ramen, the particular reason for circumstance is such very tasteful, hot soups, and the drinks so really refreshing.

The best ramen in town! Miso Ramen is my go-to, and Gerald, one of the line cooks, always prepares it for me. He makes my ramen to perfection! He is such a friendly and approachable employee!

Ramen is my family's comfort food, and this is one of our favorite places for it. Our #1 pick is the Pork Spicy Garlic ramen. What I love about their ramen is you have 3 options for noodles: Thick, Thin, and Shirataki. Shirataki costs extra $, but worth it if you're looking for less calorie, low carb (and less guilt) option. Pork Gyoza and Takoyaki are both great and tasty, but Karaage is a winner for children. For adults, Hot Karaage is a must-try. We recently tried their Beef Donburi, and I can say it's really good. Just the right tenderness, and flavor. I wish Kinton will offer it as a full/meal-size bowl in the future. Place is nice, and lots of natural light. Washrooms are clean and roomy, they even have mouthwash, I guess to wash off all the garlic taste and smell after the finishing a bowl of ramen. Great experience overall.

The setup is just like a Japanese noodle stalls.
Good seating arrangements. Great ramen options with pork, chicken and veg options. They have some dumplings too on the menu but we tried Hot karrage which was delicious.

You can try Sake too.
Traditional alcoholic drink in Japanese culture.

Felt its lil expensive but still worth a try.

I really wanted to like this place since the locations downtown were good so I’ve been here multiple times to try other flavours but I always left the place regretting coming here. My go to had been Pork Shoyu but in this location, it’s peppery and the chashu lacks flavour.

Next I went for the Spicy Garlic and again, more on the pepper side and watered down: (.

I tried the Original Pork on my next visit but the broth lacked flavour even with garlic oil, egg was almost hard boiled, and chashu was rubbery.

Service is always great but the food needs improvement.

(Edit) :
The store closes late, which is good for late dinners. Although I still cant bring myself to try a full bowl of ramen again, my go to has been their beef donburi which is good. Gyoza, karaage, and takoyaki were good.

Got the pork shoyu ramen which was good! I wouldn’t say it’s the best in terms of value though.

My brother and i have made it our mission to try all the ramen shops in the city and this is the best one. Also love their loyalty program- I really want to get to 100 stamps.

Kim chi is amazing. Its spicy. The spicy pork ramen broth is so good it's like liquid gold. My only problem is I wana add too many things to the soup like extra broth, meat, garlic, garlic oil, scallions and bean sprouts. My $15 bowl of soup becomes like $25 bucks.

Its Highly addictive so it's not recommend for those with addictive food personalities like me.

Absolutely love the place. Eat here weekly, know the manager, she is a lovely lady. Definitely consider her a friend. Sadly recently the phone staff isn't very professional or pleasent, almost like I'm wasting their time. Also, the phone service is beyond brutal. Call, they answer, insatly get cut off, from there everytime you call back it's either busy or goes straight to voice mail. Don't sure how I'm supposed to phone in a pick up order when I can't get through your phone line. I'm calling back instantly and consistently over the next 10 minutes. Nothing.

Might want to look into this.

Like I said, the food is always good and enjoyable. Sadly some of the staff are not as good on the customer service front like their manager is. And their phone line is terrible.

I was able to get my food pretty quickly. Staff were super friendly. I got the original beef ramen and it was amazing! Place was clean and smelled amazing! I will come here again and recommended it to my friends. (P. S.the one star reviews are from a while ago and the place has changed since then if anyone is reading this.)

I love the ramen here, definitely my favourite ramen place in KW! I find the atmosphere can get noisy sometimes but I think it's cause they have so many people in a limited space.

Really enjoyable dining experience. For what looks like a crowded and tight seating area, I was very comfortable and cozy. Food came quick and was delicious!

Delicious ramen. Nice little place in a good location. Cost is over $20 for a lunch with a drink after tip.

First try, excellent food and service, second time not as good but with great service and atmoshere. Looking forward to my third visit!

Eating out should be a delight, and Kinton Ramen doesn't disappoint! From the open kitchen, to the staff shouting Japanese in unison, to the mouth wash in the bathroom, the atmosphere was great! But more importantly, the food was excellent as well. The soup was so nice and creamy, and the pork hand grilled with a torch. I opted for the Sapporo combo and was very pleased! Next time I might go for an extra seasoned egg, it was delicious!

Good price for the beef ramen, and generous toppings. Service was excellent! Broth was a little salty, and seating was very uncomfortable. Washrooms very clean.

Amazing ramen for a decent price! The staff is very friendly as well and the venue has a lively buzz about it. Try the Chicken Shoyu with the bamboo strips added as a side!

The spicy garlic pork has the best broth I’ve tried from a ramen chain. I recently tried the beef spicy garlic, and the broth is even better.

They don’t give you a lot of meat though.

We got the pork shoyu and spicy pork soups. The flavour was quite good but I was disappointed in the value. There was only a couple small pieces of meat and the rest was mostly noodles.

Kind of sad since the Toronto location is one of the best. Broth was bland and they literally only put one piece of meat in there. The ramen egg however was probably one of the best I ever had. Other than that, save your money.

Broth was watered down. Probably the worst ramen broth I've ever had. Proteins were overcooked and rubbery. Poor quality along with smaller portion size makes the cost absolutely not worth it. There are much better Ramen shops in the area. Will not be back.

Service was absolutely amazing, food is always super good, tons of options, all in all 10/10 id rate it 6 stars if i could tbh GO HERE

Great food, slow service. Wish they’d be more mindful to come around and top up drinks, too.

Overall though, good food at a decent price.

I come here to eat almost every week, and usually the food is great, but yesterday was extremely disappointing.

Came in and didn’t receive any greetings (I don’t particularly love the greetings, but hearing a greeting means the staff acknowledged a customer has walked in)

Ordered a spicy garlic ramen and a golden sesame ramen. After 32 minutes! The spicy garlic came, and it was cold (disappointing, but the flavour was still good). Also, we still haven’t got water yet…so we asked for water. What really annoys me is that nobody is communicated at all with us while we were waiting, and there was no apology for having waited for so long.

After another 3 minutes, a waitress said there was no more ground pork for the golden sesame, and asked us if we were okay substituting it with the pork from the other kind of ramen (sure, no problem). When the golden sesame finally came, it was missing spinach. We asked why there was no spinach and they said they ran out and gave us more bean sprout instead (would’ve been nice to know beforehand like with the ground pork)

Tldr: usually this place is great, but that one night with no communication and more than a half hour wait was a serious disappointment.

Ordered the tonkotsu original ramen with extra noodles and the chicken karaage. Broth was bland and lacking in flavour. The noodles were alright and the amount of meat given was very little. The karaage was pretty good though.

Very good! Friends and I were walking to check out China Town and walked past and decided to check it out. I've only had authentic ramen once before and it wasn't a ramen bar setting so this was a nice, new experience. Learned to use chopsticks finally. I got the pork miso ramen meal that came with choice of pork or veggie gyoza and a soda, and a 4pc of hot karaage - both were excellent! Service was quick, staff super friendly. Would recommend!

Disappointed. Compared to other ramen shops in the area I thought the ramen here had absolutely no flavour.

On a positive note the Hot Karaage fried chicken was good.
