Kintaro Closed
 

I drove past there yesterday, and i noticed that there were newspapers covering the windows. are they moving or renovating? or closing period?

on a side note - their sister place just half a block away had a decent lineup outside.

Which Kintaro?

there's only the one on denman st. the one in richmond's closed.

is the ramen place around the corner any good?

pretty good and usually really busy too. I love their cheese ramen!

WHAT?! THEY CANT CLOSE! THAT PLACE IS A GOLDMINE!

hopefully they are installing a much needed air conditioning system. i feel like i'm in a sauna during the summer.

:werd: feels to overcrowded sometimes to

Renovation.

yes reno, there is a ramen shop opening up soon, is like a block away from them too.. next to ja mo jib

is the cheese ramen the same as kintaro's?

lol hes getting confused FOR kintaros

if they are doing renovations.. why did they tell everyoen to go down 30 steps to a new ramen shop down the block

this new ramen shop is no good !! no more cheese ramen.. but instead.. they have a spicey miso..

um.. it taste like a korean hotpot soup with kimchi and ramen noodles... not so good IMO.

and on the new menu.. it doesn't say hand made.. which makes you wonder if they are just um... using pre bought stuff !!!

Geeze...whats the deal with Kintaro in Richmond. They are closed and all....but it was a piss off that they weren't open for lunch during the weekdays.


Lazy staff.

i dunno.. all in all .. my ramen craving was not fulfilled !!

i heard a friend talk about ajisen in richmond.. near parker place..

i am gonig to try it there !

its not lazy staff.
they do not have FULL time staff work. most fo the girls have classes at some ESL school and it's hard to find someone that's pure japanese to work.
that's just my guess.

it's the same company - i'm pretty sure. try their bbq meat special ramen or something - the one that comes with 2 types of meat. one of them tastes amazing. but ya, no cheese makes me sad.

Some of their employees in the Richmond location were chinese from what I remember. They know the more common japanese words though.

really ??? my gf had the spicey miso.. and i had the salted one.. um... too salty.. and did u find the noodles to taste different ?

i thought the noodles were pretty much the same. it's hard though, unless you're comparing them side by side.

to be honest - i still like the old old kintaro noodles. they changed their noodles to a slightly thinner, chewier one a year or two back.

Kintaro's been open for 10 years. Wow.

AWESOME stuff "K-Dub"!!! :)

Thanks for the ad. Maybe i'll go there and order 2 bowls. The place down the street is ok.. but i like kintaro more.

i want to go but it is so hard to find a parking space in downtown :(
