🍜 Kinton Ramen – A Warm Bowl by High Park

Location: 2216 Bloor Street West, Toronto, ON M6S 1N4

Tucked along Bloor Street West, just steps from High Park, Kinton Ramen High Park delivers a slice of Japan’s comfort food culture right in the heart of Toronto’s west end. It’s the perfect stop after a weekend walk among the park’s winding trails or a casual afternoon exploring Bloor West Village.

Inside, the space buzzes with warmth and energy. The open kitchen brings the action front and center — steaming pots of broth, sizzling toppings, and chefs calling out greetings in unison. It’s an experience that feels both lively and inviting, whether you’re a ramen enthusiast or simply seeking a cozy spot to unwind.

The star of the show is the Pork Original Ramen — a rich, creamy broth with perfectly balanced umami depth. The noodles have that perfect spring, and the chashu pork slices are tender enough to melt at the touch of your chopsticks. Every spoonful delivers comfort and craftsmanship in equal measure.

The Spicy Garlic Ramen is another standout, with its bold flavor and satisfying heat — ideal for those who like their ramen with a little kick. Pair it with crispy Chicken Karaage on the side, and you’ve got a meal that’s both hearty and authentic.

Kinton Ramen has long been one of Toronto’s most reliable ramen destinations, but this High Park location captures something special — a calm, community-driven vibe that pairs beautifully with the neighborhood’s charm.

💡 Toronto Nomad Tip: Stop by after a morning in High Park and grab a counter seat to watch the chefs at work. And whatever you do — add the extra egg.
