fabulous! One of the best ramen places I have ever been to and I have been to a lot.
This restaurant opens at 11:30a.m. so at around 11:20 lines were formed. I thought since it was such a hot day no one would go. I was wrong! I think Kinton has some good regulations before you get seated. For example, if you have a party of 4 and only 2 people are here, they will not seat you until everyone has arrived. THere are other rules but they are reasonable..
I have to say they take the initiative to try to cool down their customers as much as possible. They freeze metal cups or put them in the fridge so when you drink the water it feels really cold even if it has been left out for a while. With that being said, there wasn't much air con but they did have multiple fans. The seating is more like the traditional Japanese ramen stands ( If you have been to Japan you would understand). Just seating infront of the chefs so like a ramen bar.
Food:
You have a selection of different ramen soups and whether you want it to be rich, normal or less rich (there was another term but I can't remember). Also, you have a selection of shoulder or belly pork. I enjoyed the soup as I found it not to be very salty. Also, I wasn't very thirsty after eating so I suppose there isn't much MSG or any.
Overall, good place for a quick lunch but you MAY have to wait so be prepared!
