| - 3.5/5. +.5 for the service.
So I've tackled the second ramen joint who claim to be the "best" in Toronto (the first one being Kenzo). I'll try Kinton and Sansotei in the near future.
I arrived today at around 1:45pm. No lineup! In fact, the place was only about 3/4 full. I was instantly seated (and greeted in Japanese), given a menu, and ordered the Toroniku ramen with miso.
The portion was about right considering I'm not exactly the biggest eater (there's no way I can be a Kinton Bowler!). The soup was a little bit on the salty side, but I guess next time I could ask for less salt. The pork on the sides was one of the best I've ever had, just the right about of meat and fat. The noodles were a little bit thinner than what I thought, and sadly...I found Kenzo's noodles better.
When I was done, the waitress took away my meal and gave me the bill. However, I didn't want to leave yet so I tested them to see if they would walk around me seeing if I paid the bill or not. 20 minutes later, they haven't, so it does show they're willing to let people stay.
In terms of value...$20+ (including drink) was a little bit over what I anticipated the value to be. I would've been satisfied if it was $15.
I'll definitely try the other two ramen "bests" before making a decision if I'd come back or not, but I was satisfied overall.
