Reviews for KINTON RAMEN in Waterloo, ON

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. Thesoup was so nice and creamy, and the pork hand grilled with a torch. I opted for the Sapporo combo and was very pleased! Nexttime I might go for an extra seasoned egg, it was delicious! Read more

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 themenu 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! Read more

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 togo again and agin for! Karaage chicken was super flavourful too. Read more

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 anegg, however still no vegetables (corn, bok choy or bamboo shoots) that other places include in the meal. Read more

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 wentreally well with the spice. Although the pork pieces are a bit smaller than other ramen places, the broth made up for it. I alsowish that the ramen would have come with an egg but there is an option to add it. We also ordered the gyoza and Chicken Karaagewhich were both super good. This location also had a good ambience and it wasn?t too busy when we went for lunch. Woulddefinitely recommend this location as it?s one of the best ramen places in uptown Waterloo. Read more

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 weresuper nice. If you go without any expectations you may have a better experience than I did. Read more

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 pricefor the large portion that you get. The karaage chicken on the ramen was cooked perfectly and the spicy garlic tonkotsu was veryspicy, and strong in flavour. The modern interior design as well as clean tables and well-maintained washrooms contributed tothe overall atmosphere of this location. We did however notice a contrast between the two visits, as the first one seemed a lotmore active with motivated employees. The second visit the employees were still very friendly, but the shouts in Japanese ofgreetings and good byes seemed less enthusiastic. I don't care much for the greetings for what they are, but since the locationis well-known for this environment, it seemed to be a representation of the staff motivation. I also noticed that the pork cutsin the tonkotsu ramen were definitely smaller in our second visit. Hopefully they don't keep shrinking... Overall, the foodquality 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.

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 :) Read more
