| - This is now my go-to ramen place, no more waiting in a ridiculously long line for Sansotei!
Menu: http://www.kintonramen.com/img/menu/kinton_english.pdf
What we had: original pork ramen, spicy garlic pork ramen
Taste: 9/10
The broth here is really flavourful and rich. I'm pretty sure they chuck in butter to that broth like they're Paula Deen. The spicy garlic broth was on the salty side, not too spicy. The original broth was delicious: rich and full of meat flavour. Noodles have a good chew to them, pretty standard. The seasoned egg here isn't as deliciously runny as Sansotei's, but the chashu meat quality is definitely better.
Value: 7/10
It's $11 for a bowl, and you can add more toppings that cost $1-2 each. We didn't add anything.
**Average cost per diner: 14$ After Tax+Tip (Although Steven wasn't as hungry as usual when we went.)
Service/Convenience: 8/10
The place is easy to locate, you'll notice the piggy sign in front. When you enter, they all yell at you in Japanese (probably to say welcome, but they could be saying "you're smelly" for all I know). There's no line, which is awesome, although we did wait a while for our order to be served. Servers are polite and efficient.
Would go back? Yes, their savoury ramen soup is great for warming up in the winter.
Would recommend to friend? Yes, if they like soup noodles.

**Disclaimer: Average cost per diner constitutes the amount (per person) we eat to get full without drinks. Total cost is usually divided between 2 diners, one of whom can regularly eat 7 slices of XL pizza (16") in one sitting.
