| - Date & Time of visit: Sunday, March 12, 2017 @ 6:30pm-7:20pm
Atmosphere: Intimate, Stylish, Fast Paced - In & Out eatery.
Cleanliness: Restaurant appeared to be clean. Cutlery, plates and glasses were clean.
Constructive criticism: Comfier Bar Stools needed!
Cuisine: Specialty Japanese Ramen
Facilities: Did not visit the facilities.
Food: My fiancé ordered the Chicken Miso, and I ordered the Pork Miso. We both added the soft boiled egg to our soups which was super delicious! The soya sauce tints the egg a light brown color, which did not look appealing, but when we tried it, it was just so damn good. We wanted to try the thin noodles over the thick since this was our first time at Kinton. The flavor of the miso was not overpowering, very creamy and delicate. The pork pieces in my Ramen were salty and fatty, which added more flavour to the soup, and I actually love the cut of pork they used. The fiancé's chicken was tender and thinly cut. It was delicious, but I felt the pork added more flavour to the broth. We did the soup combos, so I ordered the Ton Ton Don Pork which came on rice. It had a minced appearance and a certain smoky flavour I don't care much for. My fiancé played it safe and did the Gyoza with his combo. They were very flavorful and delicious. Safe to say I would order the dumplings on our next visit.
Likeliness of returning or recommending to others: This little place has become our Wednesday night go to. We look forward to our marriage class right down the street, because we know we are getting a fantastic meal, in a quick time frame. I would love to come back with a larger group of friends, but sadly this restaurant is not equipped for Saturday night girls night. (I am referring to the one on Yonge street only). We heard about Kinton on the television show "You gotta eat here". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBHie0HoPNw
Parking: conveniently located next to the restaurant. Sunday after 5pm, was $7.00.
Portion Sizes: Satisfied. We left feeling full! Large amount of soup to warm the blood!
Price: Good. 2 combos, 2 drinks, and 2 eggs (additional toppings), came out to $37.98
Service: When we arrived, we were greeted by the hostess who added our names to a waiting list. We were seated at the bar area in under 5 minutes. Our server offered suggestions since we were first timers, and it was helpful since she had preference to her recommendations. When we asked her which beers she had, she wasn't sure. I asked her about the lemonade and she didn't know if it was authentic or premade. Still friendly and quick to help.
Selection: Good. The menu offered just the right amount of items. Not overwhelming, and all items looked delicious.
What makes this restaurant stand out from the others: Kinton is a Ramen Bar. It has stylish interior design, and a chef that holds 10 years of experience in Ramen cuisine.
Hours of Operation: Sunday- Thursday 11:30am - 10:30pm. Friday - Saturday 11:30am - 12am. (this is for the Yonge street location only)
