We got the special ramen and some fries obviously and it was so yummy! We were informed right when we sat that the ramen would take 20 mins or so I guess they were backed up but it was so worth the wait. My husband and I spilt the ramen since we had lunch prior but I was craving it so we had to stop in. Honestly the broth was so rich in flavor and the texture of the noodles were so yummy! I am craving it rn writing about it
Best ramen I've had by far! The portions were just right and the service was quick. Everyone was super nice! The vibe of the restaurant as there, although I wish there was a place to hang your coats. Had to sit on mine due to the chairs being small.
Noodle, broth, toppings, and chashu were all flawless. Service was quick and the ambiance was great. It was the perfect meal on a cold day.
This place has always been my go to ramen near Concordia. They often have specials and the service is super quick! I've had many different dishes here but I definitely recommend the gyozas from there!! The burnt shoyu was a new addition to this place and the only "issue" about it was that it had a looooot of bean sprouts..a lot more than I thought anyway. It was still a great meal though!
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.
My friends and I went here on our trip to Montreal. We wanted "comfort" food and this definitely fit the bill. There were a few small things we would've changed with the food (spicy garlic pork ramen didn't have that strong of a garlic taste, sauce on the gyoza), but otherwise everything was good. We would recommend it.
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.
Spicy ramen! Gyoza was nothing special, probably needed some soy. Service was ok - they didn't seem too pumped to be there, which is understandable I guess. Nice place tho!
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.
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)
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.
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!

Very good prices, efficient and personable service, and tasty food. We shared the 4-piece gyoza which was good with a tasty sauce. I had a miso-based vegetarian ramen with tofu and thick noodles. I adored it. read more
We love to try ramen offerings anywhere we can find them. Montreal had quite a lot of options, but Kinton Ramen was recommended by one of our tour guides and was walkable from our hotel, so we arrived just before it opened for service on Sunday for a delicious lunch before heading out of town. We tried the Tokyo Fries (french fries, bonito flakes, nori, ketchup), which were delightfully crispy on the outside and piping hot on the inside, as well as the Pork Gyoza (dumplings, original sweet chili sauce) to start. And ended with the Pork Spicy Garlic Ramen (chili pepper, pork, grated garlic, bamboo shoots, scallions) sans wood ear mushrooms and the featured Golden Sesame Ramen (thick noodles in a rich pork broth blended with creamy white sesame paste, topped with seasoned ground pork, marinated egg). While the marinated egg was not as marinated as other places, the broth of both bowls was umami and the pork quite tasty. Beverage-wise, the soda was served by the can. The decor was modern and efficient, with hooks for bags and jackets and clean lines. Service was quick and our interactions with the staff were pleasant. NB: They have a loyalty program! read more

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. read more
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! read more

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. read more
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 read more
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! read more

Hi Amanda, thank you so much for this thoughtful review! I'm happy to…
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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more
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! read more
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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more
