I've heard so many good things about Kinton, so I decided to give it a try. I came here on a Tuesday at 1pm, and the restaurant was busy but not packed. It was packed around 2pm though.
I ordered the cold tea, which was refreshing on a hot Toronto day. I also ordered the shoyu ramen with chicken. As part of the lunch special, I also received an appetizer that consisted of pork on top of rice. The rice in the middle had some type of light sauce in it, which made it extremely tasty. Give me that any day! The ramen was okay. I was a little disappointed given all the hype. I've been to Santouka and prefer their ramen over Kinton. The broth at Santouka was much heartier, and I also prefer the ramen noodles at Santouka. The chicken itself was nice and tender/soft. I really enjoyed it. The best part of the entree was the soft-boiled egg. It was perfect, and the yolk was still runny (yum!).
The lunch special comes with a drink, the appetizer, and a ramen noodle in broth for $13 + tax.
