My friends and family consider Kinton as their go-to place for Ramen. I decided to give this location another chance. My first time here was a couple years ago where I ordered the shoyu Ramen but found the soup to be way. Too. Salty. Almost impossible to even sip. (That meal I would give a 2/5).
This time, from the recommendation of my sister, I got the Miso Ramen. This was the complete opposite of the shoyu soup I had because I found this soup to be too bland. It just didn't wow me! And although I could have finished the bowl at the end of the meal, I chose not to because I didn't find the soup that great. It was, however, an improvement from the Shoyu Ramen.
The thick noodles were quite good, but the toppings that come with all the ramen were lacking. I did find their pork to be very tender and juicy though.
My friends ordered the original Ramen which comes with an egg (whereas the miso did not) and they both said they enjoyed their ramen and soup.
Overall, kinton feels very average to me, and since it's in proximity to where I usually "chill", I most likely will come back....if I'm desperate.
Perhaps next time I'll try the spicy garlic ramen--I'm sure that one might be more flavourful. But for now, I have yet to find something "special" about kinton.
