My rating is 4.5 stars. I'll round up…read more Kinton Ramen currently has a handful of BOGO (buy one item, get another for free) deals happening on Uber Eats. All my Kinton Ramen visits never consisted of a BOGO deal, so I was happy to change things up. I didn't realize that Vaughan had a Kinton Ramen. I know that one has recently opened at CF Markville Mall. However, I was running errands west of Markham and this location was on my way to them. I ordered the following items: - Golden duo with thick noodles - Yuzu cheesecake Both were BOGO deals. I got an estimated time as I was leaving Richmond Hill. I would get to this eatery a few minutes after the specified ready time. I had no problem finding a parking spot. A vehicle had pulled out of a spot steps away from the entrance. I backed into it. It was a good day. I walked in. There was a customer ahead of me who seemed nervous and fidgety. I stood in line behind him. It was trying to figure out why he was reacting that way that interested me. There were two staffers. The male one was nice and came over to me. I said that I had an Uber Eats order. I showed it on my phone. He nodded and headed to work with the male chef behind the counter and his female colleague next to him. The female colleague needed help putting together an order. The male one helped her sort things out. She had put the wrong noodles and broth in a paper bag with handles. She had to take the lids off the ramen bowls to figure out the contents inside. She had to bag two broths in containers. I have always been an observer. I'm also patient -- perhaps too patient for my own good. The man in front of me had every right to be nervous. She was packing up his takeout order and had messed up, which likely caused him to get all nervous and looked at me three times during this ordeal. I never made eye contact with him, as I didn't need his nervous energy extended to me. I did the fourth time when I watched her get his order right. Our eyes met and I smiled that he got his order right. He smiled back. It's always about context. It's the only reason why I'd give this experience 4.5 stars. The confused female staffer didn't exude confidence to two customers watching her pack up an order. There were two pairs of diners while I was here. It felt like a relaxed setting slurping ramen and conversing in this eatery. I should dine here next time. It felt comfortable. The male staffer, on the other hand, was competent. I saw him pack two ramen bowls, two broth containers, and two boxes containing cheesecake into my paper bag. He then carefully sealed everything with stickers and handed the bag with handles over to me. I thanked him and wished him a great day. He reciprocated, almost with a sigh of relief. I headed to my car and drove off. My next couple of errands were by my workplace. I decided to have lunch there. I had half my food for lunch. I had the rest at home today. The golden duo consisted of your choice of noodles (thin or thick) in a pork broth that had white sesame paste. The protein was seasoned ground pork. It had a marinated egg, bean sprouts, scallions, bamboo shoot, wood ear mushroom, chili oil, shredded chili pepper, white pepper, and a few crispy fried onions on top. I went with thick noodles. You can't customize any items in the ramen bowls on Uber Eats. I am frankly not a fan of bamboo shoot. Luckily, there were four strips that I easily removed from my bowl of ramen. The broth was still pipping hot. I placed everything in an insulated bag. Both broth containers were placed in a plastic bag. I appreciated that packing detail. I poured one of the broth containers into my ramen. I then loosened up my thick ramen noodles and chowed down. The golden duo was yummy. The broth was rich and creamy. The thick noodles were chewy and perfectly cooked. I loved the flavours in my ramen. The seasoned ground pork was perfect with the bean sprouts, scallions, and marinated egg. This bowl of ramen did have a spicy kick. My bowl at the office wasn't terribly spicy. The one that I had at home had a stronger level of spiciness. Both were great. I normally don't get utensils. Since I was eating at the office and didn't have the proper utensils, I said yes. The spoon from Kinton Ramen was gorgeous and deep, which allowed me to enjoy every spoonful of broth and more. I actually washed it out and stored in my locker at work... haha! The golden duo was equally as yummy a day later. I'm not sure if the spiciness elevated overnight, but it was nice. The cheesecake at Kinton Ramen tends to be on the smaller side, which I appreciate. I've had the matcha and loved it. I went with yuzu and it was awesome. I loved the citrusy brightness that the yuzu brought to the cheesecake. It was the perfect richness to end my meal. I look forward to getting more ramen from this eatery. There's a veggie immune booster ramen bowl that I wouldn't mind trying. It's currently a part of the BOGO deal. (105)

The service is top here and the owner of the restaurant is so funny and nice. Great guy to have as our server! We were also able to make modifications to our order with ease which some restaurants don't allow. My only one call out was the food smell in the restaurant was fairly strong since the kitchen is right next to the seating area so all of our clothes smelt like food after we left. Food: - Black Garlic Tonkotsu ramen: 4.5/5 stars. Totally forgot to take a picture of this, but it was really good. I really liked how the Ramen was not oily. The soup base was very yummy. The noodles were cooked to the right texture and the meat was great. Everything was very flavorful! - pork tonkatsu: 5/5 stars. This was the best pork tonkatsu I've ever had. It was fried but not oily and it came with three individual huge slices for only $15. MUST TRY - grilled gyoza: 4/5 stars. I'm not the biggest fan of dumplings so I'm not the best indicator of how good these are but they were very good! definitely will be coming back!

I visited Ajisen Ramen during their anniversary promotion for half off the original ramen. I…read morearrived around noon and it was already quite busy. There were only two staff members on the floor at first, with a lot of people waiting and many empty tables that hadn't been cleared. It took about 45 minutes to get seated for a table of two. Another staff member came in later which definitely helped. We ordered the original ramen, which was ~$8 during the promotion, and shared the karaage, also ~$8. The karaage came with 5 pieces and was very juicy and tasty, though slightly pricey for the portion at regular cost. The ramen was good. I liked that you can add unlimited deep fried garlic and chili powder to customize your bowl. You are also ablee to change the broth but it costs an extra $2.50 (so I did not). The dried garlic was especially delicious and added a lot of flavor. The egg was good as well, although it was only half an egg. Overall, I enjoyed it, especially for the discounted price. At regular pricing, I think there are other ramen spots that offer better taste. But for a promo visit, it was worth trying.

The restaurant was at a busy location, which was the end of the driveway, everyone sees it before making a turn. The staff was nice when we walked in. We were greeted and directed to a corner table where was better with a baby. We showed them 2 coupons, 1 for ramen and 1 for fried chicken. The staff needed to talk to the owner about them. After a few seconds, she came back and said only 1 coupon per visit. We were a bit disappointed, because we were so hard to dine out with a baby, and not able to come again with a long drive and a baby. We talked to their owner, he was nice to let us try both at the same time. Oh yeah! So we have 1 original ramen with black garlic oil, and 1 tomato base. It won't take long to wait. The fried chicken came first, it was not like the breaded chicken, it fried from original, but after marinated; it has taste, but not salty. The 2 ramen came at the same time. They both really rich, but not so salty, because the salt level could be altered; the noodle size could be chosen as well, we did 1 thick and 1 thin. They both looked similar. Overall, the ramen and the chicken all looked good and tasty. I would like to come again if next time I come around this area, even though they were a bit pricey.

At first the broth wasn't that impressive, but it definitely grew on me as I ate. I loved the flavour on the chashu (none of that bland unflavored pork here) and the shiitake mushrooms were also marinated very well (though they were a bit on the sweet side). Don't be fooled by the photo - there is a lot of noodle in there! They also offer a free kids meal deal for kids under 12 with an order of two bowls of ramen, which is pretty nice if you're eating out as a family.

Initially looked busy and thought there may be a wait, but the line was actually for the dessert place that shares the same entrance. I usually switch up my order between the Clam Ramens (shio and shoyu). Can definitely say that these are always made consistent (at least on every visit I've had), so there's no surprise. My friend ordered the Avocado Vegetarian Ramen as part of a set. We were both intrigued by the taste of the broth. It was creamy, but not super thick, and had a fresh, vegetal taste. One miss this time was that my friend ordered a drink, but unfortunately it did not come out at all while we ate. We mentioned it when asking for our bill and asked that it just be cancelled, which the server was apologetic about. Interior is kept clean, which some table seating along both walls and also a long high-top bar (communal) in the middle.
