Being Japanese, I must say that Kinton started as a Ramen trendsetter in Toronto. But as time went on, the soup started to feel a little too thick for my liking.
I think they're catering more to the Chinese and Canadian customers that want a 'pow' experience. I just want a good, simple bowl of Ramen.
The 'Kinton Bowler' is a great way to engage with customers, but I think it's a bit overdone, and takes away from serving a simple, Ramen that makes me feel good.
My recommendation is to go back to its roots and serve really awesome food.
