Reviews for KINTON RAMEN in Markham, ON
Not too impressed today with Kinton. Felt like kind of trying something different so I went with the Chicken Spicy Jalapeño... Ramen. Big mistake? this dish was surprisingly bland and one-note. Chicken broth had no depth of flavour and all you can tasteis jalapeño. Kind of just tastes like boiled peppers. Im usually very easy to please and I rarely complain - so believe me whenI say to stay far, far away from this dish! My partner?s dish on the other hand was excellent! He had the Golden Sesame Ramen -the fall special. Very good flavour. We also shared/devoured the spicy karaage. Service was so-so? Read more
This place has great value. You can get their ramen + Sapporo for $20. We both got their pork original. The broth has flavor..... the noodles could be a tad more firm.. but it does have your typical necessities without additional charges. My egg came outperfectly.. it was on the runny side while my girlfriend?s one was more cooked. Overall, this place is hard to overlook ifyou?re in the area for a quick bite. Read more
writing this sitting in the restaurant looking at these two bowls - broth tastes like absolutely nothing after 30 minutes of... wait. Literally just water. two of the worst bowls I've had. Been here before and it wasn't this bad - so be aware that thequality of food could fluctuate. by a lot. Read more
We tried Sansotei before we tried Kinton. And my wife is a Japanese who grew up from south ( not Kyushu ) and she loves ramen. ... I also stayed in Japan for a bit of time. We both think that Sansotei tastes much closer or even the same as ramen in Japan,more like you can find any local (not in big city ) where it said ???? or ???? kind of ramen. Where Kinton, we learned that thechef is a Japanese too, perhaps tuned the taste to more for local Canadian ????, it tastes like ???????+ ???. It?s still goodbut we find Sansotei brought us more Japanese ramen feeling. Besides that, Kinton has really good service. Read more
Great flavour in the soup base, noodles tasted great and had a great texture, garlic was freshly chopped and had a strong kick... which also flavoured the broth. VERY LITTLE MEAT! We only received two pieces per order, normally we would find that okay butthere were no other sides within our spicy garlic pork ramen?no vegetables or eggs. At the steep price of 15.99 per ramen bowl?Ifeel like you may be coming here for well bodied flavours rather than a more bang for your buck type of meal. The stools thatyou are seated on aren?t that comfy Read more
The soup base taste very different from what I had a year ago. I always order the shio flavour and I know how it should... taste. What worse is that their pork belly has been very very thinly sliced. Look at the picture! Unbelievable:( I understandfood cost is high but this type of skimming is just next level. Read more
Pretty good location for a hot bowl of ramen. Service is interesting here and can be automated by ordering and paying through an... online app that one can access by scanning a QR code on the table. Seats fill up fast so I recommend you come at off-peak hours,use the Yelp partner app to get yourself on the waitlist beforehand, or simply get ready to wait because the wait time can belong with how popular the ramen is here. The staff is alright, but feels rushed and rude at times because the place is sopacked. I don't blame them, but that is definitely an area of improvement that the restaurant can work on to improve the overalldining experience; either hire more workers or find a solution to reduce workplace stress when the restaurant is busy. Food ispretty good, with a deep and heavy flavour profile. Portions are a little small compared to other ramen joints, so come here andorder an appetizer ready to order an appetizer as well. Overall, not bad. Read more
Came here for a late lunch after shopping. We arrived here about 2:30 - 3:00 and it was pretty busy for a Saturday afternoon.... Good atmosphere and music in the restuarant. Service staff was good and attentive and we ordered the Beef Original Ramen andFall Special - Golden Sesame, our meals arrived in about 10 minutes. Both soups are very flavorful and the taste was passedinto the noodles which we both enjoyed very much. The only turn off is that menu photos are usually never the same as the dishserved and sometimes the main feature, in this case for mine was the beef. It was a bit small as compared to the menu. Myoriginal plan for my rating was 4 stars but after hearing about my friends bad experience I had to change my rating. A friendthat is in a Facebook Food groupd of over 12,000+ members ate there not too long ago and had the same bowl I had, she had askedthe wait staff why the beef is not the same size of as in the menu photo? The answer was that the angle of photo made it lookbigger??? If that was true, I would love to met to hire this photography to make anything 2 times the size that it should beLOL. I'm not professional photographer but no one can make anything look twice as big. As for my beef in my bowl, it did notcover a third of my bowl. Our overall experience here was enjoyable, $16 price tag for a bowl of soup noodles is in the highend and not the average pice in my book. I think they could have handled this situation a bit better with my friend with theanswer she got... Read more
