KINTON RAMEN BISHOP

Finally tried the Yuzu Chill Ramen from their summer menu. Unfortunately, not a fan. Couldn’t really taste the yuzu at all — the broth just tasted like plain chicken soup with no depth of flavour. Good thing I was just trying it out with no expectations. If I’m craving cold noodles next time, I’ll definitely stick with Chilled Tsukemen. That said, it does have its merits. The takeout packaging is really well-designed — the noodles and soup are kept separate, and the bag it comes in is super cute and even insulated! They actually released a chilled noodle called « Roasted Beef cold Ramen » a long time ago, and it was so good! I remember going back four times in one week. It’s such a shame they don’t offer it anymore — I still miss it! 🥲

Got the original chicken with thin noodles Love how tender the chicken was, it was so soft and can be teared off with the slightest of force Comes with 1 full egg which is pretty rare to see! Also there aren't that many places that serve ramen with chicken and beef!

Good ambience the quality level is maintained among all branches. They have veggie options but surprisingly the veggie ramen is not veggie… because the noodles have egg so if your order is veggie like mine was entirely and I told the server that it’s entirely vegan he said okay and then took my veggie ramen order with egg noodles it was only when I asked him about the vegan noodle option he said oh that one without egg so he would’ve given me egg if I hadn’t inquired out of curiosity but it doesn’t end there as there is a significant upcharge for egg free noodles 4 dollars which is diabolical considering if you’re vegan or allergic to egg it’s your only option. They must work on this atleast the vegan ramen should come with vegan noodle without this much of a surcharge. Rest was fine

Had a great experience at Kinton Ramen! The food was delicious — I ordered the Pork Original ramen and it was full of flavor, with perfectly cooked noodles and a rich, satisfying broth. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and everything came out super quick. A big shoutout to our server, Lexi — she was so kind, attentive, and helpful with recommendations. Her energy really made the meal even more enjoyable. You could tell she cared about making sure we had a good time. We even had free icecream!!!! Definitely planning to come back again soon. Thanks Lexi and Kinton Ramen team!

I had high hopes for this ramen place after seeing it online, but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to expectations. The soup base was extremely salty—felt like they added way too much sodium chloride. It also tasted like something pre-made, almost like the condiment from a hotpot, which was a huge letdown. On top of that, the wait time was ridiculously long. I honestly don’t know why it took over half an hour to prepare, because if I were the chef, I’d have it done in at most 10 minutes. The only thing going for this place is its good appearance, but overall, it was a bad experience.

The food was good. I got the spicy garlic beef noodles with thick noodles. I loved the vegetables in it and the beef slices had a nice piece of fat on the side. I love a little fat on the edge of beef. It was very spicy though and my spice tolerance is relatively high. I would recommend something not so spicy for most people

From the lemonades to the ramen, everything tasted amazing! Service was wonderful. Overall, great place.

Very reasonable price for filling quantity and quality ingredients. Ramen was served within 5 minutes of order. Waitress was sweet and explained order options well. I ordered the spicy beef noodles (thin). And I’d order them again! Highly recommend. I came here because my friend suggested getting spicy soup to help me feel better from a flu. Boy am I glad I got the flu!

Decided to try this Ramen location out and the food was delicious! We started with their Takoyaki which was great! Highly recommend it, if you love octopus and are of course a fan of anime! As for their entrees, we had their spicy beef mazeman (very spicy but also very very delicious, of not this is brothless ramen) this was my favorite entree dish out of everything we had. We also had their original pork and beef ramen which were also delicious! As for service, our waitress was fantastic! She was very helpful with the menu, providing recommendations. Thus, overall, food is delicious, definitely start with their Takoyaki (very, very good) and try their brothless ramen, its as good as the ramen with broth.

Came on a busy Friday night and only waited a couple minutes. Servers were busy but got our order and drinks efficiently. The ramen had a good flavor and you get a whole egg instead of a half egg which was nice. The chairs weren't the most comfortable since I had a winter coat on and the fabric and the smooth chair made it hard for me not to slide around. I also have a bad back so it was uncomfortable for me to sit for the duration of dinner. However thats a "me" problem not a restaurant issue. We enjoyed the food, but the atmosphere is more of an eat and go vibe, not meant to linger or relax.

The ramen here was delicious. The spicy ramen was so full of flavor and just the right amount of spice level. We also got the shoyu ramen which was also very good. But out of the two, the spicy ramen was better. It was raining out, and I liked that the place had a coat rack right at front of the place. It was convenient and kept our table/chairs dry.

I stopped by Kinton and ordered the Black Ramen. The Ramen broth was good, but it didn't stand out as far as other ingredients and options as something that stood out as really great Ramen.

Once you get over the concept that you will be eating with a ladle, the actual ramen, service and options are delightful and delicious. A plentiful portion for the dollar and service that stems from a mother welcoming you into her kitchen.

My boyfriend and I were originally going to go to a Korean BBQ place, but due to the long wait, we decided come here instead since it was right across the street, especially since he is a huge ramen connoisseur. The interior was rather modern, and we were seated immediately. The staff were nice, welcoming, and very attentive. For appetizers, we got the hot karaage (Japanese spicy fried chicken) and takoyaki (octopus balls). The karaage was not crispy and had a thick batter coating. It was covered in a spicy ketchup-based sauce, leaving an odd acidic aftertaste, with Japanese 7-spice sprinkled on top. The takoyaki were somewhat large in size, but also not crispy and soggy even, which was a disappointment. They were, however, generous with mayo, takoyaki sauce, and bonito flakes. For my entrée, I got the Amaze Mazemen, and my boyfriend got their original tonkatsu pork broth ramen. The Amaze Mazemen consisted of warm ramen noodles topped with seaweed strips, canned sweet corn, bonito flakes, 2 grilled pork belly pieces, and a cold poached egg. The ramen noodles were PERFECTLY cooked: soft yet firm, chewy, al dente. The meat was not the most tender or flavorful but decent. There was also some Japanese mayo that melted slightly due to the heat which tied together the flavors to the various toppings. The noodles of the tonkatsu pork broth ramen was also perfectly cooked: however, the broth did not resemble tonkatsu at all. It was more milky than anything as it also appeared a creamy white in color. The ramen egg was overcooked, and the pork was dry. Overall, we were disappointed from the great reviews and would not come back here again. Of the four dishes, the Amaze Mazemen was the best but still not great. I would recommend checking out non-chain ramen places if you are looking for good ramen and appetizers.

The miso ramen was excellent. The noodles were well-cooked, and the broth had a wonderful flavor. The service was great. The restaurant was not very crowded on a Tuesday night. Tables are typical ramen shop stools with flexibility for larger groups. Serving sizes were large, and the prices were reasonable. Well worth a trip.

We popped into this ramen shop on a rainy day and it was exactly what we needed! We went at around 3 so it was not very busy. We got the spicy ramen, Shoyu ramen, takoyaki and karaage. The spicy ramen was full of flavor and had a rich flavor and definitely had a huge kick to it. The Shoyu ramen was rich and deep in flavor as well. You can also choose to add eggs, the type of noodles you want and add any other toppings you want. The takoyaki was yummy as well but the unagi sauce was a slightly overwhelming. The karaage was super juicy on the inside and fried perfectly. This is a great ramen shop, definitely give it a try!

What a great find! The restaurant was full of locals and the vibe was relaxed and cozy. Our server was very nice and her suggestions were spot on. We started with the pork gyoza and had to order another helping because it was so delicious. We had beef ramen and the meat was very tender and tasty. We would definitely come back!

I decided to take a chance With this place... and i regret it. Ramen was very low quality. Some of the toppings weren't cooked and they tasted like they were straight out of the refrigerator. I barely ate my ramen because I wanted to get a refund. The server took maybe 20 minutes to come back to me so I was sitting there waiting, hungry for 20 minute for her to come back. So when I finally got her attention, I told her I didn't like it. She took that ramen away, and tried to charge me the full amount. When I spoke up and explained to her that I didn't expect it on the bill, she said she could only give me 10% off. It was just an awkward experience not really that good, and I hate that I wasted my money here . If you're gonna eat here anyway, lower your expectations. By a lo. Also: asked for the Wi-Fi password because there was a network that said KRR guest, and when I asked the server about it, she said oh we don't have Wi-Fi . I also asked her if the chicken was seasoned and she told me yes just for the chicken to come out plain and dry.

Have you ever asked for spice hoping you'll actually get some heat and wound up thoroughly dissapointed?  Well, not here!  As lovers of everything caliente we were pleasantly surprised to find incredible flavour in this great broth.  We also needed to try the sesame cheesecake because... Well it was black (it was also pretty good )

The service was very confused and chaotic. Maybe it was a new server but the owner seemed like she was everywhere and nowhere at once. Liked that they had a variety to choice firm especially four vegetarian ramens. The spicy one was good but a bit greasy. My son enjoyed his miso one. We both ordered the thick noodles and found them undercooked and this from people who like their noodles Al dente. Be both ordered eggs and found them to be inconsistently flavored and cooked. His was custardy runny and mine was cooked through. Not well seasoned. I ordered the limeade and it never came, wasn't on the check. When we ordered the ramune there was massive confusion between the two servers which we didn't understand. The other server thought we were asking what it was. We know what it was we want to order it. Took three tries to communicate that. If the price point were lower I would say this is a good place to grab a quick meal but unfortunately this place is a no for me.

Kinton Ramen never disappoints me! Their ramens are always delicious and their staffs were very friendly and polite! They have several locations in downtown and I've tried two of them (the one on Bishop and on Union) Both locations serve amazing ramen! I ordered the original pork ramen with a side of karaage which is my go-to order - Original Pork Ramen: The broth was rich and flavourful! The noodles were cooked perfectly (You can choose between thin or thick noodles) I also loved the seasoned egg! - Karaage : The karaage were crispy, juicy and tender! It is definitely worth a taste! Original Pork Ramen ($12.95) Karaage ($7)

Yes. Good ramen. Doesn't disappoint. Side of karaage chicken was perfect addiction. Service was great.

So good! The spicy broth had absolutely the best flavor, but was way too hot for me. I ended up ordering one of the other choices and taking just one scoop of my husband's spicy broth and mixing it in. It was absolute perfection.

Popped into this ramen place on a rainy day and it was just what I needed! I was excited to see so many vegetarian options on a ramen menu, so I got the garlic chili noodles and they were spicy and warm and delightful! Appreciated the wide spread of veggies in the soup and how flavorful the soup was. Really clean interior with lots of seating, on a quiet street. Yum yum

Good ramen. We got the 4 ramen combo which came with the fried chicken (ok) octopus balls, 4 drinks, gyoza. The ramen was good and filling with plenty of noodles.

Decent food for my first outing here but my miso chicken soup lacked some flavor, even with the additional garlic oil! I understand maybe some people are picky about saltiness so with that being said, it would've been nice if they have condiments at each table so customers can add to their own liking. I must say their original chicken karaage was surprisingly HUGE but still tasty. They have a good array of garnishes to add on to your ramen and you have your choice of thick or thin noodles. Good enthusiastic service!

Excellent and safe service by the staff. I really liked that they take our names and phone numbers at the entrance in case of a positive case breaks in. The staff is friendly and helpful. During our food orders, our waitress recommended us their Japanese soft drink, which was delicious and bit sweet. It's called ramune. Also, when you buy the soft drink, 50 cents are deposited in Montreal Children's Hospital foundation (my pride, since I work there). We enjoyed thoroughly our dishes. We started with vegetarian gyozas, then followed with vegetarian ramen for me, and my sister had spicy pork ramen. Each bowl was humongous, and it fills you easily. Therefore, we decided to share our desert, and we had a very very succulent matcha cheesecake. The service, and the food were excellent, and the price was very reasonable. All this, cost us about 50$. Recommended.

Small place with really good food best ramen I've tasted! Good service, good portions. Highly recommend.

Quality is consistent with Toronto location. Most ramen bowls are priced at $13 each so prices are definitely reasonable. I also got the black sesame cheesecake for the first time and I found the slice to be quite small. Service was good and fast. Everything seemed clean too.

Tasty Miso soup. A little pricy though. Overall great experience.

Nice little ramen place on Bishop. It's the sister of Kinka Izakaya on St Catherine's and Guy cause it's the same owner. The vibe and decor show that they're definitely related! The staff all greet you when you come in with words of welcome. The only other place where I'd ever been greeted by all the staff in a resto was at Bonaparte. The waiters are very polite and attentive. We ordered a bunch of tapas for a light and quick dinner starting with the Tako Wasabi. It's a cute plate where you spoon a small amount of marinated octopus with wasabi stems into tiny sheets of nori, fold them over to form a little roll and eat it. It has a soft wasabi kick to it. It was a bit too salty though. Then we had the Goma Salad Ramen. The ramen was al dente with crispy lettuce, corn nibblets, etc. and a light sesame dressing. Topped with very finely shredded dried red bell peppers. Karaage Original was done just right. Light crispy seasoned exterior and tender interior. Tastes like Asian KFC :) Drizzled with lemon and served with garlic mayo on the side. Tofu Furai you must try. (Cause it rhymes) These 4 tofu nuggets tasted like juicy chicken nuggets!! The sweet and sour spicy sauce and scallions all pair well with the tofu. Matcha cheese cake was light and smooth. Perfect to finish the meal. Tapas were whipped out in no time at all. We were able to eat and leave in less than an hour. Overall a nice place. I didn't try the traditional ramen so I'll have to go back! Price wise, I find it a little expensive for the tapas, hence the four stars.

Very clean and very organized . Pandemic 2020. The staff is friendly , and are wear face masks. We ordered on their app and the order was just being packed when I walked in . Less then 20 minute . The Ramen chicken soup was very tasty and even came with an egg .the dumplings were very tasty but the sauce was absorbed in the paper box . We order 2 different karate chicken . The hot spicy was amazing and the original was good. This was a great meal and we will sure be back

Had a great time there with friends extremely satisfied and the food was really good. 100% recommend and will definitely come back.

Such a nice place with even nicer staff! We walked in last night at 830 or so and were greeted by a full staff saying something in japanese which made it feel very authentic! we were seated and took a look at the menu and decided to get an order of the takoyaki and two orders of the original pork ramen with thin noodles for both. the place has a very hip and modern feel to it and is very well lit. they also have a small outdoor seating area in the front. i loved that the kitchen was open so you could see the cooks preparing your ramen. the takoyaki was just okay in my opinion. nothing to write home about. i wish it had a little more pieces of octopus inside as i ate one that had only consisted of one small piece of octopus. the ramen was very good! the soup was super flavorful and the pork was unbelievably tender and tasted amazing! the egg wasn't that special, we've had better but it didn't really affect how much we enjoyed the dish as a whole. definitely would go back again! i wanna try their karrage ramen!

Kinton ramen prepares the best ramen in Montreal. I have gone to many other ramen places and I honestly can't think of any other that matches their flavours. The only downside is that they are very limited with the toppings. For the price, I would appreciate more toppings.

We ordered the meal set for two that comes with dumpling appetizer, two ramen bowls of your choice and two pops. Very good meal to have on a rainy afternoon, super tasty and filling!

In Montreal for quite a few weeks on business and this will be the first dinner we have here! This place is nearby to our hotel and with an excellent rating so why not stop here? Here's how it went... Atmosphere/Appearance: With the weather as good as it's been we HAD to sit outside right on the big concrete patio. There were quite a few people who had the same idea, but luckily we didn't have to share our big picnic table with anyone else (which would've been the case if necessary). It was quite peaceful actually. Service: Brian was freaking awesome. He spoke great English (Canadian French is the primary language spoken here), was very sweet, knowledgeable, took great care of us and made excellent recommendations. Even when his shift ended and had to leave us his replacement was just as awesome. Food: My coworkers and I split a few appetizers so I had the chance to try a few things. The edamame are always excellent. Warm, healthy and salty. The Takoyaki is an order of deep fried octopus balls served with tonkatsu sauce, mayo, bonito flakes (which makes the food look alive because they're so thin that almost any air movement makes them wave) and aonori. These were not my favorite because the octopus had a fishy taste, but I have to live on the edge, right?! The Age Gyoza are deep fried pork dumplings served with a sweet chili sauce. They were pretty good, but nothing too-too crazy. Next up was the "Original Karaage" which was basically fried chicken served with a garlic mayonnaise. I was not a fan. Now for my entree! They're featuring a Roast Beef Ramen for the summer and I was ALL FOR IT! The thing is... it wasn't actually a ramen soup. Lol. More like ramen without the broth and with cold beef on top. Why they wanted to serve the beef cold, I don't know, but it was still very good. It was a good portion and along with everything else, I was certainly satisfied. Value: All prices are in $CAD. They offered a 5 ounce cold sake for only $3.90 on Mondays! I mean, something like that. Lol. I was only allowed to get 1 at that price, but my next one was still only $6.00. The Age Gyoza was $4.50. Edamame was $4.50. Original Karaage was $7.00. The Takoyaki was $5.50. My ramen entree was $15.99. The prices here are really good. You can get a lot of really GOOD food for not so much money. That's all we really want out of life, right?! Lol. I'd absolutely come back here if there weren't 3,920 other awesome restaurants to try while I'm in town. Lol. Come check this place out, the reviews are pretty accurate.

I love that the menu is customizable (different broth, noodles,spices) with tons of cheap extras. I felt more in control of what was in my bowl. I ordered the thin noodle, extra seaweed and sweet corn, chicken broth original and it was delicious! (There isn't much difference between thick and thin noodle) The sizes are ginormous so I think it's unnecessary to order an appetizer/dessert. The broth was really excellent, tasted really comforting and filling. The extra seaweed and sweet didn't do much to heighten my enjoyment of the meal so I probably wouldn't get them again. The Egg that they put inside was ok but the taste was overshadowed by everything else going on so I can't really say if I enjoyed it. The only thing that bothered me was the seating. They have these tiny wooden stools that are very uncomfortable and all the tables are close so there's nowhere to put your bag without it getting in the way of someone. The restaurant has a real 'busy' feel. The employees are running around and they chant some directions to make sure everyone is aware of what they were doing. It wasn't that distracting but it might not be the best place for a nice quiet meal. Overall, I would go back but maybe just to take out.

The soup tastes great. Although it was a bit salty for me. Cheesecake tastes good, there's real sesames flavor in it.

Kinton Ramen is very cute and nicely decorated. It was filled with hipsters and Millennials and definitely gave us good vibes and made us excited to try their Ramen. My boyfriend and I both ordered the Original Pork Ramen. It was okay. The broth and meat were lacking flavor which is what makes really good ramen so that was quite disappointing. I wouldn't order this ramen again but there were some other items on the menu that look good so I'd come back to try those!

Loved that this was open after our long flight to Montreal. Had the pork ramen with shoyu broth and an egg. Very good. Hit the spot in the 30 degree weather. The egg was perfect and sweet! We really wanted the oxtail ramen or chicken karaage one but they sold out. Next time! Had the black sesame soy milk pudding for dessert. Smooth and light. A gem in the middle of the business district!

Great, friendly service and delicious food! We were seated immediately - a table for 2 and were checked on quickly and often. We got there at a good time too - more and more folks were coming in for dinner around 5:30/6:00pm on Boxing Day. We ordered the chicken kaarage as a starter. It was super tasty! I had a bowl of the pork ramen in miso soup base and I added corn, an egg, and nori.

Delicious ramen and tsukumen. I got the pork original, which comes with a whole egg, two slices of pork, nori, and scallions. The pork was delicious and fatty. I appreciated the whole egg, which was nicely cooked. The broth was fantastic, and I finished the whole thing. I got the thick noodles, which had a great chew to them. The tsukumen was really good as well (though I think the ramen has the edge). The sauce/broth was tasty and light. The noodles were seasoned deliciously. The pork was just okay (although I guess there is a limit to how good you can make cold meat). The tsukumen is a great, light meal for a hot summer day.

What bland and disappointing ramen for all the hype. I got the original chicken ramen with veggies and my boyfriend got pork original with chiki chiki don. The chiki chiki don was cold and the pork broth tasted like instant ramen mix. The chashu was rubbery and chewy. It was painful seeing my boyfriend try to eat the pork. In terms of the chicken ramen, the chicken was just plain boiled chicken without any seasoning. The broth was so yellow like the maruchan instant chicken ramen mix and was so bland I left a lot of my food. The only decent thing was the egg, which wasn't even cut in half like traditional ramen. Would never return. I normally eat pretty bland food and this was on a whole new level of bland I didn't think was possible. The only redeeming quality was how friendly the staff was and the ambience of the restaurant. The location is a bit away from central Montreal.

Excellent ramen place. Clean restaurant, nice staff, quick service and absolutely amazing ramen. Only downside is the portions are smaller.

Such good ramen!!! There are many ramen places around Montreal but I'm convinced this has to be one of the best. We ordered some edamame and the fried tofu nuggets to start. Hard to mess up edamame so of course that was good, but the fried tofu nuggets were delish! They come with a really good sweet chili sauce that was to die for. They really taste more like chicken than anything and definitely tasted homemade. For ramen I got the pork miso. It had thick noodles, bean sprouts scallions, sweet corn, garlic oil, and I ordered a seasoned egg as an extra. Really a delicious bowl of ramen. I was sad that I was too full to finish the whole thing because it was delicious. My friends all loved their ramen as well. The only reason this is 4 instead of 5 stars is because I felt it was a bit expensive, but well worth the price. Highly recommend this place to any and all ramen lovers!

Wow! Delicious traditional thin ramen with the original chicken. Amazing. Hot and delicious. Well cooked and really hit the spot. Very good flavor. Chicken cuts were very juicy. Came with a boiled egg which I usually am not a fan of. Wife insisted I try it and I was pleasantly surprised. Slightly soft boiled. Added flavor and a textural contrast. My favorite was the nori which added a savory element. Just perfect. My wife had the original pork which came with a cut of pork belly. This broth was slightly creamy. Again well done and delicious. Between the two, I prefer the chicken. You absolutely cannot miss the crispy fried chicken! The crispy skin just melts in your mouth. Have with either the mayo or the spicy version. Both sauces hit the spot.

Solid ramen overall! You pick the broth (spicy, miso, soy) and protein (or veggies). Ramen was good, but not the best. The best was the takoyaki appetizer. So good we ordered a second one (each order is four large octopus fritters, so good to share). Simple, clean lines in the decor. Lots of college age people early in the dinner window by the looks of it and some families and a few people just finishing work downtown on a Friday.

This place is actually part of a chain but it feels like a small restaurant in Japan in terms of service -- friendly, personalized and approachable. We chatted with our male server and he shared that the chain plans to open up one in NYC soon. Wishing them the best! It's a place I would go back to again and again. My favorite is the pork spicy garlic.

Our first night out after arriving in Montréal, we wanted to try something new - why not ramen? Centrally located, it was within walking distance so we decided to give it a try - particularly because they are open late. We were immediately greeted and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Being busy, it was difficult to hear above the commotion of other dinners. The seating was tight and a bit uncomfortable - requiring you to be cozy neighbors. We ordered the classic ramen - chicken for my spouse and pork for me. The broth is AMAZING. Seasoned egg was delicious and the udon noodles were tender. My pork belly could have been a bit crisper - to render down the fat, but it was still tasty. The beverage selection was great - I chose a pint of beer and some cold sake - a perfect accompaniment to the ramen. After we were finished, it took a bit of time for the staff to recognize us - as we wanted dessert and to pay. The matcha cheesecake was something to write home about - Creamy with delicate flavors. This is definitely worth a visit.

Although this place has been around for awhile, with many other ramen places opened up, I've only decided to come try this place out now. I came here with a group of friends, and despite it being busy on a Sunday night, we were seated pretty quick. They have monthly specials, which I decided to try the Nokou Tonkotsu Miso ramen (spicy pork miso broth, with pork flank, eggs, corn, scallions and spinach) along with their homemade lemonade. The food came out quickly and it did not disappoint. The ramen came in a generous portion, had a very rich and flavourful broth being not too spicy, the pork being very juicy and the egg cooked perfectly. I also loved their lemonade, which was very refreshing, pairing perfectly with such a rich ramen! Overall, the ramen is pretty good and their employees are very pleasant! Another great thing is that you have the choice to customize your ramen, from broth, toppings and noodles. However, it can get pretty pricey compared to other places, as some of the basic toppings must be added $. I would suggest going for their specials to get the best value, as well as their lemonade to refresh yourself!

This is my son's favorite ramen place, which might be a problem in the future, as he is starting at Concordia in the Fall, and this place is way too close. It's pretty much always busy, but the queue moves quickly. He likes the karaage ramen, which is only available on Mondays, so we end up just buying regular tonkotsu ramen and the karaage app to make our own! Broth is flavorful and noodles are appropriately chewy. Service is fast. Prices are not bad. We'll be back, I'm sure many times, in the future.

Not sure why this place is hyped so much, maybe because it's relatively new and because of its presence on social media. I've been 3 times mostly because my friends felt like it and because it is in a convenient location. This restaurant is pretty much similar to any other average ramen place in Montreal. The only cool things are their terrasse and their spicy choices, although I tried it once and don't feel like trying it again. They just don't bring out as good as a spicy feeling that I have with all other spicy food, because it's not spicy enough and have a thick feeling to the broth. I've had the spicy pork ramen and the original pork ramen. The pork pieces are pretty big, and the eggs are cooked just right, but that's about all that's somewhat special. I have tried my friend's cold ramen, and the broth tasted so awful that I would not want to have a more. It was kind of sour but not in a good way. I'm giving it a 4 but it's more of a 3.5. I'll round it up for the cute IG pictures that are always fun to take.

Food was good Service was nice Good location, downtown Montreal on Bishop street Good for a quick lunch Chairs are not comfortable since it's like little japanese benches

I am forever craving asian food when I'm away from NYC, and Kinton Ramen HIT THE SPOT! My fiance and I lucked out and were seated immediately at their last open table on a Saturday night. We had an order of kaarage chicken to share and it came out piping hot and crispy. Wish Kinton Ramen did more with the dipping mayo though. It was just plain mayo. I ordered their original salt based ramen w/ thin noodles and it's one of the better bowls of ramen I've had - Rich creamy broth, but didn't feel or taste heavy at all. That's hard to find. Perfectly cooked chashu, and a seasoned egg beyond perfection. My fiance ordered the spicy ramen and the spiciness and sourness was a bit overpowering but still a good bowl of ramen nonetheless.

Wow, this place is packed! Kinton Ramen is a hip and trendy ramen place in downtown Montreal. The lineup is pretty crazy but moves at an okay pace. Service was fast and the inside decor is nice. I've been to a lot of ramen places across the US and Canada so I unfortunately I did not understand what all the hype was about. We order the spicy and the standard pork ramen and it was good but I have to admit the was nothing to discern it from being better than any other good quality ramen place. I think my 4 star rating is pretty generous. Good place overall.

This ramen was pretty darned amazing! An amazing blend of Japanese and American cuisines. The fried chicken was fantastic and the ramen broth was so nice and spicy. I would have liked to see a bit more depth to the broth and a tish more salt on the chicken but overall this is some excellent ramen! The service is absolutely outstanding and the prices are right on.

Very fast service, nice staff! A hot bowl of ramen was just what we needed on our rainy day!
