| - Don't you remember when Kinton was still a novelty and everyone came here to finish a bowl to have their pictures put up on the site. ...well, now there are 4 of them. Really thought Yelp trolled me with the #'s after the name, I think it would've stayed a novelty for longer not as a chain store but rather sitting by itself on Baldwin.
Tbh, the dish I had was probably 4-star worthy. I had their summer special, the chilled ramen with pork and quail egg. Presentation was super neat, little quail egg, soy sauce, green onions etc in a separate bowl to mix and then to pour onto the ramen.
I loved it, it was very flavourful. Just as flavourful as the Kinton Ball we had ... when you're done laughing at the name you should give this crispy mayo-encrusted egg a try. It's just.. good.
With that said, Kinton's main selection of hot ramens lack flavour. They taste like garlic, all of the hot ramen that I've ever tried. Yes, it's filling.. but you can get better ramen at Santouka or Sansoeti without a doubt if you're not looking for chilled ramen.
I think the days of Kinton are over and a 5 should not pop up any time soon, if ever
