Kinton was probably one of the first "authentic" ramen shops to pop up in Toronto other than your Kenzo's and Ajisen's. As I understand it, the lines are still pretty long.
Small restaurant. They've really added a twist to some of their menu options such as a "cheese ramen", "garlic ramen" and a salad. This keeps things interesting and customers coming back. I personally opt for the classic shoyu or shio. The broth is salty and filling. You can request for less lard and salt too. You have the option of pork shoulder or belly. The shoulder I found to be on the dry side. The karage and gyoza are great side options. Sapporo is on tap.
The wait staff and cooks are all Japanese, which means they'll yell hello and thank you when you come and leave and are extremely friendly. If you drink all your broth, they'll take a picture of you and post it to their facebook page. Personally, I've never been back since Santouka opened.
