KINTON RAMEN, the popular ramen chain known for its authentic Japanese flavours, has unveiled its newest location in the heart of downtown Hamilton.
The new location furthers the brand’s growth across the Greater Toronto Hamilton Area (GTHA), responding to the rising appetite for high-quality Japanese cuisine, said the company.

“We’re thrilled to introduce the KINTON RAMEN experience to downtown Hamilton,” said Karalyn White, Senior Director of Franchising at KINTON RAMEN. “Our goal is to create a space that not only delivers outstanding ramen but also captures the warmth and vibrancy of traditional Japanese dining.”
Located on King William St., the restaurant is set to open in Summer 2025, with an exact date to be announced soon. A grand opening celebration will take place at the restaurant after staff get settled in.
With more than 45 locations across five provinces – Ontario, British Columbia, Manitoba, Alberta and Quebec – the brand has earned a loyal following by blending traditional recipes with innovative ramen creations, said the company.
It began franchising in 2021 – nearly a decade after opening its first restaurant in downtown Toronto in 2012 – with a mission to make its distinctive dining experience widely accessible.
“This impressive growth reflects the rising demand for authentic ramen across North American – with the new Hamilton location standing as the latest example of that momentum,” said the brand.
KINTON RAMEN was established in May 2012 and was one of Toronto’s first Japanese ramen restaurants.
