I was excited for this Kinton location to open up in Waterloo as the Toronto locations we frequented have always been great. This was our second visit and the food was very flavourful and delicious. We ordered the meal for two and it's a decent price for the large portion that you get. The karaage chicken on the ramen was cooked perfectly and the spicy garlic tonkotsu was very spicy, and strong in flavour. The modern interior design as well as clean tables and well-maintained washrooms contributed to the overall atmosphere of this location. We did however notice a contrast between the two visits, as the first one seemed a lot more active with motivated employees. The second visit the employees were still very friendly, but the shouts in Japanese of greetings and good byes seemed less enthusiastic. I don't care much for the greetings for what they are, but since the location is well-known for this environment, it seemed to be a representation of the staff motivation. I also noticed that the pork cuts in the tonkotsu ramen were definitely smaller in our second visit. Hopefully they don't keep shrinking... Overall, the food quality is still great, but demotivated staff might make a place lose it's vibrance in the future - especially for Kinton Ramen. Hopefully things can improve as we are sure to have more frequent visits in the future.
I enjoyed the spicy pork ramen for take out. It was spectacular. They give you the broth separate from the accomplishments, which is really nice. It was spicy, so if spice isn't your thing, you should avoid it. But definitely get something else on the menu because this place is great. Service was friendly and fairly quick. They're busy so you do have to be a little patient... But worth the wait!
Had been waiting for this location to open up in Waterloo and it definitely met my expectations. We ordered the pork spicy garlic ramen it was super flavourful and delicious. They were generous with the amount of garlic they served and the garlic went really well with the spice. Although the pork pieces are a bit smaller than other ramen places, the broth made up for it. I also wish that the ramen would have come with an egg but there is an option to add it. We also ordered the gyoza and Chicken Karaage which were both super good. This location also had a good ambience and it wasn’t too busy when we went for lunch. Would definitely recommend this location as it’s one of the best ramen places in uptown Waterloo.
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!
I was a bit disappointed, because I had high expectations after eating multiple times at different Toronto locations. The broth seemed to be more watered down, and salty than what I had experienced, hopefully they can fix this soon as the servers were super nice. If you go without any expectations you may have a better experience than I did.
The hot karaage was delicious! A spicy smell, the taste had a slight kick without being too spicy. I got the chicken original ramen, also delicious The staff were attentive and helpful as well! Definitely recommended :
Great place for nice ramen and fried chicken! The interior of the restaurant is quite subtle for a ramen place and the staff also are very nice and friendly. Nice options on the menu and amazing combo options for groups. The spicy soup is something to go again and agin for! Karaage chicken was super flavourful too.
Best place in Waterloo for Ramen. I went to Kinton Ramen on St. Patrick's Day and the vibe of the place was next level. People were welcoming and saying goodbye in Japanese. We felt like everyone in the restaurant had welcomed us at once. I met Ayu there who made our Ramen dining turned into an experience. She is smiling all the time and food coming across right in 5 minutes. Her pretty eyes made our day and I loved the entire staff of the restaurant. They are very hospitable. We had sake, beer, ramen, kimchi, beer, cheesecake, ice cream and few other appetizers. It was just so lovely that I am going to remember this for my entire life. I am going to visit the restaurant soon again, one of the reason is Ayu. Vegetarian options: I'm a vegetarian and I never felt I could enjoy the Ramen so much before visiting this restaurant.
The best place to get ramen!! I always love coming here for a nice bowl of ramen, especially on a cold day. I always love getting the pork original ramen with thick noodles. The broth is so creamy and delicious, and the pork is amazing! I also got the gyoza too which was super yummy! For the price you pay, you are getting a lot for the portion and it's super filling! The atmosphere is great and the staff are so friendly! I love coming here whenever I can! They also do stamp cards when you finish a bowl of ramen so be sure to try and come very hungry!
Delicious gyoza! A good experience overall - handmade ramen noodles and good meat. However, I got the spicy broth and found it far too oily. The spicy ramen only comes with meat, other vegetables were extra. The original pork ramen came with meat and an egg, however still no vegetables corn, bok choy or bamboo shoots that other places include in the meal.
