What is it with all the road construction happening these days? Mom and I were trying to get…read moresomewhere else for lunch but due to all the road constructions and detours I ended up bringing us here to Kinton Ramen instead. No complaints about Kinton Ramen. We're always happy with the food and atmosphere at this place. Just that it wasn't our original plan... Anyways, Mom and I both decided to go for a value meal which comes with a choice of Ramen, a side of either meat or veggie gyoza, and a drink. Mom had Chicken Ramen, Veggie gyoza and a Ginger Ale while I had Veggie Ramen, Veggie Gyoza and a Fuze Iced Tea. Mom's Gyoza came with dipping sauce on the side. When I ordered mine though, the server asked if it was OK for the sauce to be drizzled on top of the Gyoza. I didn't realize that the alternative was to have the sauce on the side as a separate container. If he'd mentioned that option, I would have probably chosen to have it the same way that it was given to my mom. He apparently never asked my mom about having the sauce drizzled on top. Hers just came on the side by default. The Value meal was the same price as ordering a bowl of Ramen all by itself from the A la Carte menu. I think I figured out the difference though. You get the Gyoza appetizer and drink with the value meal, which you don't get if you order your Ramen noodles a la carte. However, you get less stuff in your Ramen bowl when you order it as a value meal. My Original Veggie Ramen had only Inari Tofu and scallions on top of my Ramen. The description of it on the a la carte menu though describes it as having bamboo shoots, nori, sweet corn and wood ear mushrooms in it. So...it's a matter of whether you want more variety in your bowl of ramen, or more variety of food dishes altogether.

It was a beautiful misty, rainy, Fall day in Vancouver. I was starving and I was wanting RAMEN…read more This place oddly enough is the first whereby I actually finished a whole bowl. I loved the taste. Everything about it was on point, and the noodles were not only fresh, but perfectly cooked. The space itself had great Feng Shui, spacing, decor and vibe, and the young lady that served us was friendly, attentive and helpful. As we sat by the window watching the rain drops hurry down the glass with our stomachs growling....our Ramen arrived. The Beef Original did lack a bit of salt. The Spicy Beef Garlic was very good, but there just was not enough soup, so we asked for more soup. This was actually the case with both the Ramen. Not enough soup. However, they generously gave us separate bowls of added soup. This is a testament to their level of stellar customer service, and my mentioning it is only meant for improvement..... For this already cool place.

Paid parking was not too hard to find on the Main Street but during busy dining hours it might be difficult. We got seated right away at the bar since there were no tables open and the service was quick. Traditional Japanese style ambiance and even the bathroom had rounded Japanese bowl sink. As someone who doesn't have chicken broth (paitan style) ramen, I was really looking forward to the original ramen I ordered but I was a bit disappointed in the flavor profile of the dish. The ramen had both chasu and seaweed paired with thin round noodles. The broth was creamy and had a hint of chicken flavor but even adding several rounds of their soy sauce/salt seasoning they have on the side to adjust your broth to your liking-- I found that the richness of the soup was not what I had expected from the reviews that I read prior to coming here. Overall, a bit disappointed in the flavoring of the broth but maybe we came on an off day. I would be willing to give it a shot again in the future if I had ramen cravings and given that it was very affordable ($11-15 per bowl with tip), but I would probably opt to try another place first.

Review #3 for 2026 I…read morereally wanted to like this place. I watched many videos and read reviews before coming here, but it just did not hit the spot. After a cold day of exploring Stanley Park, we felt that ramen would really hit the spot, so we went here not wanting to deal with a wait at Danbo with a hungry and tired toddler. There was NO wait when we arrived here and we were seated immediately... which for a place that was really hyped up, should had made us think twice. There was only 1 other party at the restaurant. Now, the workers were super nice and the food came out quickly and we did eat everything because we were starving. We all ordered the cha-shu tamago ramen, 2 of us got spicy and 2 of us non-spicy. It came with extra chashu and the soft boiled egg for about $20 Canadian. The bowl was a good size and there was a promo for free extra noodles while we were there. Everyone except me in our group took advantage of it because I was too full from my bowl. Now, the broth here is different from other places because it is chicken based and not pork based. Everything I had seen about this place promised the broth is every bit just as good as the pork bone broth... however, the broth we received looked flavorful, but was bland. It was completely bland. There was no richness to it, not even a hint. I don't know, coming from southern California, the flavor just was not there period. We did all eat our food because we were starving, but it for sure did not hit the spot at all. Maybe we got an off day? Otherwise our broth had literally zero flavor to it. We all wished we had tried the other ramen place instead right after trying our ramen. Would I come back? I will have to say definitely no. We do not live in Vancouver and I do not want to waste any meals on a place that did not taste good the first time we went.

So...2 bowls of Vegan Truffle Wonton Ramen at our table. How did I forget about this dish? It was sooo good last time, and equally as good this time. My daughter ordered some takoyaki and a mini bowl of ramen. Her cousin ordered some Brussel Sprouts tempura and some salmon tacos. OK, gotta say the salmon tacos were the one disappointment on our table. No complaints about the taste but they were super small tacos. Don't order the salmon tacos if you're hungry. Or else...if you really wanna try them, make sure to order more food in addition to those salmon tacos. Don't know why I keep on forgetting about this place every time we're in this part of town and have a craving for ramen. Gonna have to try to get back here a bit more often so I can enjoy that Vegan Truffle Wonton Ramen more often!

They were very considerate and marked every order with the person's name so that there is no confusion. Definitely appreciate that! They have so many options on their menu but my friend told me to try their vegan ramen because it is one of the best, so I decided to try it and she was sooo right!! Best ramen I've had in Vancouver!! It had so much flavour and texture. I chose the thin noodles with fresh garlic on the side, I think the thin noodles really soaked up the ramen flavours very well. Also, their portions were SO big but the price was very affordable. I had the ramen over 2 meals! I can't wait to visit them in-person and maybe try their spicy chicken ramen next time!

The cold soba blew me away becasue it was refreshingly cold and the chew to the noodle is 10/10.

Two of us had Vegetable Ramen, my daughter had the Cheese Katsu and my mom had a Gyoza with Salad. We've ordered the Vegetable Ramen and Cheese Katsu before but the Gyoza with salad was different. Kind of a nice option I think. Might try ordering it myself next time, with the Vegetarian Gyoza instead. Gyoza is usually just an appetizer, so it's not like ordering a heavy meal, but adding the salad greens makes it a bit healthier. A more balanced meal while still being on the lighter side.
