| - ***Based on 50% Off Grand Opening Promo/Service***
Watch out KENZO, you have got some competition! However, your competition gotz no free parking, so you may still win battle of the ramen places in 'ssauga.
I'll admit that I'm not much of a ramen person because I find the trend a bit overhyped. And up 'til today, KENZO was the only place for it and I'm not gonna wait in line for $$$ noodles. Also, the broth is usually loaded in sodium, so I've eaten it maybe a handful of times.
Anyway, Kinton opened up on the ground floor of the PSV building. There is NO free, immediate parking. So you can either pay for parking on Burnhamthorpe/Confederation OR take your chances to park underground in a neighbouring condo.
Parking Sitch: The condos on Brickstone Mews does have Commercial/Visitors parking, but shh...you did not hear that from me! You can also try free street parking on Webb, directly south of the now-empty M-City lot.
Service: I was very impressed by the efficient and friendly service here on Grand Opening Day! We came at an off-time, so there wasn't much of a line. A worker came around and took people's order while they stood near the front of the line. A menu is posted outside. Once you're seated your food arrives ~15mins. There are plenty of workers circulating with water, asking you how your food is, if you need anything, etc. It was well-staffed!
Atmosphere: Less than 20-tables of either 2-4-6 + seating at the bar.
Those crate stools are uncomfortable. 20' ceilings makes it seem roomier than it is. They also shout at you as you enter/leave/take a pic for Instagram. So it's an Izakaya-type atmosphere. Do not expect candlelit date night dinner here. It's fairly loud!
Food: I ordered the Original Chicken and it was good, homey broth wasn't too salty. It was nice and tasted like an Asian creamy chicken noodle soup. Could've used more veg, but it was fine for the promo price of $6.50. Would I pay the regular $12.99, maybe 1-2/year, but not more than that! If you want a lighter option, you can split the bowl with someone. A bowl is more than sufficient for an adult though!
Thin noodles - same as Wonton noodles
Thick noodles - same as Instant/spaghetti to give you an idea
Chicken Karage was nice, meat was juicy, and not drenched in oil. It had a nice crunch to it!
No LLBO yet. I believe they're in the process as there is beer on their menu.
