| - Call me a ramen-addict if you want. I love noodles, especially ramen. Slurping ramen in the cold winter will keep you warm for a long time. :)
So far, Kinton is the best ramen places I've been to in Toronto (Kenzo, Sansotei, Momofuku, Santouka, Raijin) It has a good balance of everything: al dente noodles, rich but not overly greasy/salty broth, enough toppings and meat.
I've ordered its shio ramen with pork shoulder with the extra corn. It came with bean sprouts and one soft boiled egg. Noodles were chewy but not hard. Pork shoulder was large, thick and tender. The egg yoke had the perfect runniness. Unfortunately the egg was only lukewarm. If it was hotter, it would have been 5/5.
Decor was trendy. Female customers would really appreciate the fact that they offered a small basket for you to store your handbags/shopping bags. :) Washroom was also clean and well equipped. So far I haven't seen other ramen places with such offerings. Service was quick and very friendly.
Warning: this place is very small, and it gets packed all the time. Go there way before peak hours, whether it is for lunch or dinner. I was there at 11:45am on Saturday and I had to wait in line already.
