I'm really perplexed in reviewing Kinton Ramen. I haven't been there before but I decided to eat lunch from there using Uber Eats. I was excited to try their food and try the app at the same time.
The order was placed at around noon and we had an expected delivery time at around 12:50. It was a bit long, but given the time we ordered I could completely understand they they might be busy and could take longer.
I saw the expected delivery time change a bunch of times and it got longer and longer. At about an hour and 20 minutes it was well past any fault that was excusable.
I put a call through Uber Eats and they told me it was still listed as being put together (I find it hard to believe that this was the case but it's the story the restaurant came up with). As soon as that call went through our delivery MAGICALLY made it's progression to on its way to us (Finally).
The delivery was relatively quick, but I can't help but speculate that our order got lost in the mix and we were forgotten. My order was mixed up as well which I didn't appreciate either.
Like some of the complaints that I'm seeing of their broth, it's a little on the salty side. The ramen overall does it's best and I would say that it's a step above Kinton Ramen. But I think that the praise for the ramen in this location is over hyped. I was really upset with the level of service today. Not on Uber but the restaurant.
Will I go here again? In all honesty, probably. But this experience has left a really "salty" taste in my mouth (pun intended), so that visit may have to wait. Until then though my fellow readers!
