Kinton Ramen

What Reddit says

A Toronto-born ramen chain often described as overhyped now that Toronto has better options. The spicy garlic ramen gets some praise, but many doubt the broth is made from scratch and see it as a price-to-quality compromise.

In their words

Short excerpts, each linked to the full comment on Reddit.

• “Don’t know why anyone eats at Kinton anymore when there’s an abundance of much better ramen in Toronto nowadays.”

• “there are literally dozens of other places that are much better than both here in Toronto.”

• “I think it’s a price to quality compromise for a lot of folks”

• “I really like the taste of Kintons. They also have the best value, for size and price.”

• “living in Kingston this is the only place I’d even consider eating ramen when I can’t make it to Toronto or Montreal anytime soon”

• “I love Kinton as it’s the only place that I found that gives you an option to have Shirataki noodles.”

• “I thought Kinton was overhyped back when it first opened”

• “A bit higher quality and it hits the spot when there's nothing better around.”

• “Kinton has gone downhill for sure over the years but I can at least finish my meal.”

• “people don't eat there because it's "good" People eat there because it's familiar and convienient.”

• “I would assume places like Sansotei and Kinton definitely do not make their own broth form scratch”
