Main differences between Kinton 1 and Kinton 2:
- Kinton 2 offers a wide range of chicken based ramen (shio, shoyu, spicy, miso)
- Can choose between thick and thin noodles
- Kinton 2 does not offer vegetable ramen (sad face)
- Kinton 2 is spacer than Kinton 1
For me, Kinton 2 just doesn't provide the familiarity and and friendliness of Kinton 1. My favourite vegetable ramen has disappeared from the menu. Although it is not a popular choice, it is definitely my must order at Kinton 1 since I often feel overwhelmed by pork chasu and pork stock. I went with my usual, spicy garlic ramen with thick noodles. The thick noodles are a tad thicker than the regular noodles at kinton 1 and is a bit chewer. The soup, in this case, was a huge disappointment. It lacked flavour and definitely was not what I'm used to at Kinton 1.
The music is now even louder, and the service not as good... There are definitely some improving to be done.
EDIT: I ordered the lunch combo when I went on a saturday... the pork gyoza was 90% pulled out of a frozen package. Stay away.
