It perplexes me why this place is getting 4.5/5???? First off, a huge warning to everyone. My friends and I all got food poisoning from here, either from the soup or the spicy chicken karrage. As for the noodles themselves, ramen should have a solid soup base teaming with a robust pork flavour. Kinton has none of that. The shio soup base (I ordered the rich soup base anticipating strong pork flavour) tasted of salt with a mere hint (and that's already being generous) of pork. It was the worst ramen soup base ever. The miso didn't fare any better. It tasted like miso paste with more salt. Give me a break people. Stop buying into the hype and ignoring your taste buds. This is definitely one of those places where the child (i.e. Kinton) is living off of the much deserved fame of the parent (i.e. Guu). This place makes me want to give all my previous 1 star ratings another star - that's how bad it was.
