We chose to go to Kinton Ramen primarily because we knew they'd have air conditioning, but also because there have been decent reviews. I don't see what all the hype is about, to be honest.
We discussed further, trying to pinpoint what exactly we didn't like otherwise. The meat portions were diminutive but decently cooked. The broth seemed to be comprised of salt and not too much else. The noodles, I have to admit, were cooked perfectly. I think what got me riled up was the pricing system and how it impacts the dish. My friend hit the nail on the head when he said it was just "too much of just one thing".
Add-ons are $1.00 - $6 each. Without add-ons, one receives an oversized portion of a very bland bowl, and with add-ons, one may receive an oversized portion of a potentially more interesting bowl which will fill the tummy but empty a wallet. Service was spotty and inattentive. Yawn.
I didn't even finish my bowl -- and those who know me would know this is uncharacteristic behaviour. Afterwards, we walked over to Yogurty's to try to combat all the salt with some sweet.
