I have to say that this Kinton location is the least favourite of all the locations.
Loving the Baldwin joint from when it originally opened, I was thrilled to hear that one was opening up down the street from me.
I have given this location three tries, and sadly, each time just got worse than the one before it.
The soup tastes very mass produced and drowned in salt. The noodles are a hit or miss, and the pork is always fatty and tough. I have tried three different soup combinations over my visits there and all seem to fall short.
It's not bad when you want a quick bite, but because it is usually so busy, you would be better off heading to pho or ajisen or owl down the road and getting a better quality bowl of soup for the same price.
