What happened after You Gotta Eat Here!?

Kinton Ramen opened the fifth season of You Gotta Eat Here! in the episode that aired 2016-02-26, which shared its title with two other stops, Summit Café and Kokom's Bannock Shack. According to TVmaze's episode listing, host John Catucci found Japanese comfort food at the Toronto ramen restaurant. The listing does not say which Toronto branch he visited. Kinton Ramen is a multi-location chain: its website offers a location finder and lists menus for Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia, Manitoba, Alberta and New York. In October 2026 the site offered online ordering and a Press & Media section that listed items dated 2026-07-28 and 2026-07-29, among them a Retail Insider report that Kinton Ramen is adding a children's menu. The same site advertised a limited-time kids combo and a fall buy-one-get-one promotion.
