    Kinton ramen at Yonge&Eg is my go to place, more often than not. I usually just get a pick up order and pig out at home. And I love it every single time. But I was a bit sad after seeing the quantity today, definitely lesser than before and seeing that difference made me wonder if it's an after effect of COVID (?) Well anyway, as much as I enjoy all the ramen there, I really hope this was just a mistake at this store and not something that they're going to be doing with all the other dishes.

    I like their food, especially their summer special! Eating cold noodles on a hot summer day makes me feel delighted. It was my first time at this place, and the food was my second time ordering. There are not many seats in this restaurant, but no waiting lines here. The servers were ok; they never checked my table except for the first order. However, I’ll still come back frequently because I like eating in the less crowded restaurants, lol

    Online ordered 60$ plus tax, Family Meal Special for New Year’s Eve. It includes 4 ramen bowls, 3 appetizers and 4 soft drinks. The food is delicious and the price is worth it! The system in the website to place a order is very simple, I can set up a date and time to be ready for my curbside pick-up order. Great service and offers!

    Delicious ramen at a reasonable price! Service was friendly and fast. Endless combinations of ramen with their wide variety of additional toppings.

    The ramen was fantastic - We tried the Spicy Garlic Ramen and the Pork Miso Ramen. The kimchi was decent and so were the desserts. :) Will definitely come back for more ramen.

    Overall, it was a good experience. The server was very nice and patient as this was our first time, and we didn't know the menu. The place is very nice and once the cross town construction is done and the porta potties won't be visible in the street it will be a great place to sit at. As for the Ramen; it was my first time getting it at a restaurant. The price was reasonable, but it was just too salty for me. Other people enjoyed it more or less, but I had to add water so it would be less salty. You get a lot of noodles and less of the meat and vegetables. The cheese cake was yummy, but the portion was too small.

    Ordered from their website and without warning they accepted our pick up order but placed it for the next day morning. We called the restaurant and tried to change the order to tonight but were told to call the website. We called the website the support person said she can submit a cancellation email but not sure it can be canceled. Eventually no one could help and we had no dinner and not sure if the order is canceled. It took a more than 40 mins to try to resolve this issue Never had such a horrible and confusing customer experience

    Your standard ramen place, nothing special. Meat was unusually thick and therefore tougher than the thin slices you normally see. There was also one piece that was entirely fat? Kinda strange. Pictured is the spicy miso ramen, barely spicy at all, but it does the job. I'm a little annoyed at this place because they have a special combo with ramen, gyoza and a pop drink ($2.50) and they wouldn't let me swap out the pop for a tea instead ($2). 3 stars out of principle.

    Prices keep increasing and portions have shrunk by a lot. My ramen bowl was less than half full. 3 pieces of karaage for $9.90?! Insane.

    Greeted by the entire staff upon entering and leaving the restaurant, which was great. Felt like a valued customer despite it being my first time there. Ramen itself was good, nothing spectacular but satisfying still.

    Ummm… umm… I don’t know. I really don’t understand how this place has good ratings. Three stars because the price was reasonable. It’s not an authentic Japanese ramen place.

    The ramen itself was good, as always. However the warm sake was terrible. It tasted rotten and sour almost. Will never order again and I highly disuade anyone from ordering it.

    The meal pictured is the combo meal for 1, I ordered through UE. They don’t make it clear which ramen comes with a seasoned egg. Sometimes I get an egg & sometimes I don’t. The meat is also so small it’s shameful. The location is convenient for me to get to, so I gave them 3 chances. I was disappointed every time. Overall I don’t think it’s the best value for money. I won’t order again.

    Love the service as we did not wait too long for our orders. I love the wooden spoon for soup, its unique and kawaii. I ordered the pork shoyu ramen, i enjoyed the broth but halfway, i felt that the flavor was too much, it became too flavorful or too salty. My husband.ordered the pork original ramen, the broth taste nothing special. The karaage though was delicous. I enjoyed overall.

    This is a nice place for grabbing a lunch or a good ramen. I tried their pork gyoza, pork ramen and golden sesame ramen (it's their fall special). Pork gyoza are really good, especially with their special sauce, but I find them a bit too fried. The port ramen was overall ok, but the broth was a bit too delicate, overwhelmed by all the toppings of the dish. The golden sesame ramen, on the other hand was, great, great broth, seasoning oil greatly complemented the minced meat and chilli. A huge upside of both ramens was the egg, perfectly cooked and well marinated. Definitely a place worth visiting.

    I’m so happy this place is on the same block as me. Always rich and tasty broth whatever your flavour/meat/veggie/spice/add-on preferences are. ☺️

    The amount of food you get is abysmal compared to the price, this is all we got for the karage chicken which cost us $10.99 not including tax and tip. The gyoza is so sad we only got 4 measly pieces for a high price. So disappointing and embarrassing for this restaurant.

    Super fast service, kind staff and yummy ramen. Love all the veggie flavors. Miso is my favourite. Must visit cozy place in cold winters. Veggie gyoza and cheesecake is awesome..Hot sake is a must have! 😍

    The atmosphere is really good. The restaurant is clean. Foods are really delicious. They also have promotion for lunch and happy hour.

  • 5/5 Namashree B. 10 months ago on Google • 30 reviews
    The atmosphere,food and service was so good. I’ve tried Ramen for the very first time in my whole life. Since, I was trying it for the first time I chose this restaurant as I heard a lot about it (ofc the good things). And as I expected the food was so good. I’ll definitely visit again. The ambiance was pretty nice and clean. Quality and quantity of food was worthy of price. I tried the spicy garlic ramen. Talking about staff, they were very well mannered, friendly and hard working.

    I had the burnt shoryu ramen and the broth is very flavourful :) they also have lunch special for $19.99 which also comes with a cheesecake

    Such a peaceful place. Excellent service. The ramen is huge! And very tasty and ingredients are fresh. I'm definitely coming back

  • 5/5 Kyra L. 4 months ago on Google • 3 reviews
    Ramen was so good! The spicy ramen was actually spicy in a good way. I will definitely be a regular customer from now on.

  • 5/5 M N. 9 months ago on Google
    I love coming to Kinton Ramen. It has a great comforting smell when you walk in (could be my Japanese roots appreciating that) and the staff are all kind and helpful. I also like that they are actually Japanese since it's a Japanese restaurant. Both dishes were delicious and well seasoned. We got the Pork Miso Ramen and the Summer-Exclusive Spicy Beef Mazemen (the latter one does not include a soup, you are meant to mix everything in the bowl since the topics have all the flavour). It was actually spicy.

    Always a favourite for lunches work at a nearby office. Even after COVID, the dining atmosphere here remains delightful and friendly. Recommended especially as the cold days settle in!

  • 5/5 Justin C. 2 years ago on Google
    Typical Kinton ramen. Great portions and selection. I wish they kept the patio open though.

  • 4/5 Sajid B. 2 years ago on Google
    Kinton is an all time classic ramen place. It is kind of commercialized, however the food is always standard.

  • 5/5 Charmaine D. 2 years ago on Google
    I love this Ramen house and today i went here with my friends and it's thier first time to try Ramen. At first they are scared to try new things but I told them this is a great experience for them. When they tried it, they said they like it and they finished their entire bowl of noodles and worth of price too. Their meal set order is a blast. You better try it and you will enjoy each Ramen that they have in thier menu. I guarantee that.

  • 5/5 Jace B. 2 years ago on Google
    My favourite ramen place in the city. They're friendly, warm, and great folks all around. The food is always great especially when they have their monthly specials.

  • 3/5 Karla B. 7 months ago on Google
    I order a take out tonight and unfortunately I got it wrong! I ordered one order of gyozas, but I received edamames instead! besides, I had to wait about 20min more than expected. Ramen was amazing as usual tho :)

  • 4/5 Sukanya 2 years ago on Google
    Got the kimchi(top) , hot karaage (middle) and chicken ramen in spicy garlic pork broth (bottom). It was amazing and so filling. Good ambience and clean restaurant including washroom. Slightly pricey other than that it's great

  • 4/5 Jeslyn 8 months ago on Google
    If you are a ramen lover, you'll go wrong with Kinton. Chicken Karaage holds its #1 spot among my Kinton favourites. This spot is located in the busy area in Yonge-Eglinton but wasn't easy to find. Chicken Donburi was yummy too. Rice was a bit hard though, not quite my type, but the portion was perfect for me. Food (quality, presentation) - 4/5 Drinks (quality, variety) - 4/5 Ambience (interior, cleanness) - 4/5 Service - 5/5 Value - 5/5

  • 2/5 Grace Z. 1 year ago on Google
    No wait for on a Friday during lunch time. Service was friendly and food came very quick. The soup however tasted exactly like instant noodles seasoning with a lot of MSG. Texture of the noodles were great. Also disappointed that the pork shoyu ramen only includes two small pieces of tough pork, two pieces of seaweed and noodles.

  • 4/5 Caroline L. 1 year ago on Google
    your standard easy to go to ramen place. pork miso is definitely the go to, chicken options are underwhelming as broth is a little chunky and noodles were stuck together.

  • 5/5 Hemavathi P. 2 years ago on Google
    I always order the chicken jalapeño ramen and I love it! I’ve had it countless times and I can never get tired of it! I also recommend their kimchi. It has a very strong taste of sesame oil which I love. My two year old also enjoys eating ramen from kinton Their mango cheese cake is also one of my favourites. Definitely my top fav ramen places in Toronto! Edited to add: Try the spicy garlic veg ramen 🤤 Hot karage and tofu furai ❤️

  • 4/5 KP G. 1 year ago on Google
    I visited this place twice in last two months. I loved my first visit but the second time which was last week, I observed that the quality of food had changed.

  • 3/5 Rickie 11 months ago on Google
    Im huge on ramen and trying different places. This place was very highly rated, so i decided to give it a go. I ordered a beef ramen dish with 2 orders of the chicken karaage. When the food came, my first impression was disappointment in the presentation. The food itself was good, but not worth the price they list it at.

  • 4/5 A M. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent welcoming service. Got seated within 5 minutes of waiting on a Saturday evening. Have been going here occasionally for the past couple years. Go-to order is spicy pork ramen. They've introduced a few new versions like spicy beef ramen, so I gave it a shot. Surprisingly, it only had one piece of beef strip even though the pic advertised two. Instead, it had a very small piece of pork chashu. The broth and noodles tasted great as usual. We also ordered a spicy pork ramen and the size of pork chashu was also very small. It used to be double before. Both Vegetable and pork gyozas were good.

  • 5/5 Zairo De C. 1 year ago on Google
    I found my spot for Ramen. Ill be coming for lunch here from now on. Amazing food and service. Atmosphere is heaven!! I ordered the summer special "amaze mazemen" is amazen!!

  • 5/5 Darshan S. 1 year ago on Google
    This was my first experience of having ramen. And it was great. The staff was also nice and humble. Food taste was amazing. Must try - GYOZA

  • 5/5 Anthony L. 11 months ago on Google
    I am so happy that Japanese style ramen has become a fixture in Toronto and the GTA. This place is quite good and has a few good options for the Ramen lover. If you can go when the winterlicious or summerlicious menu is available, I highly recommend you do that. The food tastes good.

  • 5/5 C M. 1 year ago on Google
    I've been to Kinton so many times over the years I can gladly call this ramen chain my comfort food spot. I've been to 4 different locations and all of them have been excellent. I will never stop recommending this place. I've been to Japan and I can truthfully tell you Kinton's ramen is on point with Tokyo and Osaka.

  • 5/5 Kanchan K. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent location at Eglinton Avenue East the core Midtown. The ramen served is absolutely delicious. You'll have the option for Pork, Chicken and Veg. The portions are good and fulfilling. The staff is extremely helpful and kind. The ambiance is really cool with seating counters, however I would have preferred more if 4 seater tables were there.. I would strongly recommend this place for Ramen.

  • 4/5 K G. 11 months ago on Google
    I wasn’t aware this was a chain until stopping by. It’s located in a place that is essentially a good place, but with all the construction, it puts a damper on the number available tables and the view outside the restaurant. The portions are abundant. I wish there was a bit more flavor in the ramen, however, the spicy karaage was great.

    Very good food and amazing service! A little bit pricey, but good nontheless. Staff also accomodated a friend with allergies and had a separate menu for them. Would recommend.
