The food was delicious, filling, and great value. While I found ratio of chicken to noodles was fairly low, I was otherwise impressed by the meal and would certainly go back for it. The restaurant itself had a nice ambiance to it and the staff were attentive.

We're always happy with the food here. This visit was no exception to the rule. I feel that in…read moreaddition, our server was extra helpful on this visit. She brought up some kind of stamp card with a promotion which could help give us some kind of discount off our bill. A small discount around 10 - 15% off but any kind of discount is better than no discount. In addition to getting us this discount she also helped me to sign up for the rewards program on the app which earned me a free appetizer, so we got to enjoy a free order of Takoyaki with our meal. It used to be that there was a physical stamp card and in order to get the stamp, you'd have to finish every last drop in your bowl every time you come to visit. Seems like they are doing away with that system and replacing it with a digital rewards system. Our server helped to transfer what was on my physical card over to my new digital account on the app. Now with the app, I just have to show a QR code instead of the stamp card, and although the restaurant would probably prefer us all to still finish every last drop in our bowl, it seems that is no longer an absolute requirement for getting our "stamp" in the app. I like this new direction that they've taken!

Noodles were perfectly bouncy, egg was slightly undercooked with a pretty runny yolk inside. The cha siu though was a disappointment. It was very coarse and lowkey felt like I was eating cardboard. I also asked for the spicy chili on the side and kinda regretted adding it because it just covered up the flavours haha Overall a mid tier ramen place!

It came with Parmesan but I didn't feel like it added anything to the already deliciously rich curry based broth. Highly recommend you trying it out! Also for a classic tamago ramen because you can't go wrong with a gooey ramen egg. Soup was rich and I liked that they have an option to add umami salt seasoning to it to change up the flavour. Only con is that it's hard to find parking in the area but they have parking in the back parking garage.

Kinton Ramen will save your life if you are stuck on the UBC campus…read more * * * Normally, when I am in Vancouver, I am all over Richmond, Vancouver itself and the other suburbs eating up a storm. Vancouver is one of the most amazing eating cities on the planet. I would love to spend a month here and just do one Yelp review after another. The number of five star reviews would be high. However, I was at a conference at the University of British Columbia. I was expected to do my duty. The University is at the far western edge of the city, separated from everything by other lots of woods, or lots of rich residential neighborhoods with no commercial. And the campus itself is huge. So if you are on a conference schedule, you are generally eating on campus, or paying a lot to make the major expedition out. The student food on the UBC campus is nearly universally awful. There is a Michelin restaurant if you want to shell out the bucks. Otherwise there is grim catering from some company with the rights to do stalls in the student union ... and some private sector places that are coasting. Lines are long because there are not enough tables for all the students on campus. Guaranteed business lowers performance pressure. * * * Kinton Ramen is an island of civilization and paradise in this world of mediocre student catering. We ate no fewer than four meals here and loved every single solitary one of them. Kinton Ramen is a Toronto based ramen noodle chain of distinction. It is destination eating in Toronto. It has since spread all over Canada. Quality control has been rigorously maintained. You can go into any Kinton Ramen anywhere in Canada and get a five star meal. To put things in perspective, Kinton outperforms 90% of the ramen noodle establishments in my home town of Austin ... And Austin has a deserved reputation for having first class ramen. So being "stuck" in Kinton was a little like being stuck in a perfect French bakery. * * * Over the half week that Kinton became our campus dining hall, we had all four kinds of stock. We had hot ramen and cold ramen. We had every kind of gyoza they serve plus their bonito heavy Tokyo French Fries. We had their custom flavored lemonades. We had the Sapporo beer on draft. We did not have their shandy. Given their good lemonade and good lager beer ... this was a lost opportunity. We had ramen as served. We had ramen with extra ingredients in there. I can never get enough of their hard boiled eggs. Their summer special grilled pork add on was a total treat. I could go on and on and on but you get the idea. * * * Many Canadian readers will not believe this review. This is because Kinton's are so widespread and so available just about everywhere ... That they take Kinton's for granted. It would be like me writing a five star review for maple trees. Ubiquity does not make a restaurant bad. Being a chain does not make a restaurant bad. Think of Kinton's as being like clean fresh Canadian water or being like wonderful Canadian forest views. Sure ... They are everywhere. It does not make them less wonderful. * * * If you want to know what makes Kinton special, Come down to where I live and have the ramen in my town. Much of it is perfectly good. The broth is not as tasty and the solid ingredients are not as tasty as what you get in Kinton. But then our air isn't so great and in a lot of places our forests are becoming kind of scrubby. Canada does a lot of things right. And if that means fast food ramen noodles in Canada are actually good ... Well, chalk that up to the talents and integrity of the best of the restaurant managers in the Great Frozen North. ********* If you read the other reviews ... Ignore the ones that complain about slow service. Service is massively slow everywhere on the UBC campus. There are more eaters than their are restaurant chairs. Kinton is actually better staffed and faster-serving than most of the competition on campus. (Actually Kinton is slow outside of UBC too. It is a feature of the chain.) That would be a problem where there is competition. But if Kinton is a tortoise ... It beats the snails that are the other UBC restaurants in the race to get food on your plate. The tortoise wins by two laps.

I like getting their bento box combos, because it feels like the best value to variety ratio of things that I like to eat. On this particular day, I got the salmon teriyaki and sashimi combo, which I think came up to $20 or so (before tax+tip). Very affordable for something that got me very full! It also comes with miso soup, which is great. The salmon was perfectly cooked with delicious teriyaki sauce, and the sashimi was very fresh. Some of the tempura pieces, however, were fried a bit too much - there were parts that were too hard and the vegetable/potato was too tough. Service is always friendly and quick.

Can't believe this was an Uber Eats discovery!!…read more Between hockey sessions at hillcrest I was craving something warm and was looking for Ramen spots near the Hillcrest community center that I could order delivery from as I was careless at the time . Zubu caught my eye on the Uber Eats app because they had a Bogo spicy chicken Ramen deal. While , I didn't go for the spicy chicken Ramen at the time I ordered an order of the Karaage and Nori fries ! Easily top two in terms of best Japanese fried chicken/ karaage I've ever had and I've been to Japan a few times!! I don't know if it's the seasoning or the wonderful Ponzu that they give you ...it's hard to name one thing that makes this dish great , but it being well seasoned and perfectly battered are just some of the many of the reasons as to why this is amongst the best karaage I've ever had !! The Nori fries, although are very expensive and to be frank quite possibly among the most expensive fries I've ever had ...were also the best nori fries I've ever had as well . Something about the something about the seasoning ....maybe it's msg? Idk whatever it is it's delicious !!! I Thank God, the price is high as I would easily order two orders if it weren't for the price. The second time I actually visited this location and was happy to get a discount even on my to go order because it was happy hour ! I had never heard of a place giving a discount for to go orders during happy hour so bonus points for sure! Because I actually visited the location I was able to order the mini spicy chicken Ramen too which is not available to order online or through the Uber Eats delivery app. I love the idea of a miniature ramen bowl as someone who's trying to lose weight but also sometimes doesn't want a whole bowl of Ramen. It was the perfect amount!!! Very satisfying! I ordered the third level of spice and it was actually spicy, which is a plus ! I love the veggies and the broth honestly one of my favorite bowls of Ramen in North America. I'm honestly surprised at the low rating really as I've had multiple positive experiences with this place!
