Half-Price Ramen Day: KINTON RAMEN Celebrates Grand Opening in Oshawa on October 24

Ramen lovers in Durham Region, mark your calendar. On Saturday, October 24, 2026, KINTON RAMEN celebrates the official grand opening of its first Oshawa location with 50% off all regular ramen items for dine-in guests, all day long. One day, half price, every bowl on the menu.

What makes it special

This is not a coupon with fine print. The deal is exactly what it says: 50% off every regular ramen on the menu, for every dine-in guest, for the entire day of the grand opening. It is the kind of opening celebration that has become a KINTON RAMEN signature, and it works because the product behind it holds up at full price too.

The new restaurant sits in the heart of Oshawa’s university district, steps from Durham College and Ontario Tech University. The location opened its doors to diners on September 8, 2026, right at the start of the academic year, and has spent the past weeks in a soft-opening period. October 24 is the official party, and the timing is deliberate: students, faculty, and the surrounding neighborhood have had a month to taste the bowls, and now the doors open wide with the best possible introduction.

For a brand that started in Toronto in 2012 and has grown across the Greater Toronto Area and Canada as part of the Foodtastic family, the Oshawa opening is a genuine first for Durham Region. Ramen fans out east no longer need to cross into Toronto for a proper bowl.

What to expect

Expect a busy dining room. Half-price ramen on a Saturday is a magnet, and the restaurant’s proximity to student residences means the lunch and dinner rushes will be real. Arriving before noon or between the standard lunch and dinner windows is the smart play.

The menu covers the KINTON classics. Broths come in original, shoyu, miso, and spicy garlic, built around rich pork, chicken, beef, and vegetarian bases. Noodles are the bouncy, slurpable kind that hold up to a full bowl. Beyond the ramen, the Japanese-inspired sides are worth a look: gyoza, karaage, and Tokyo fries round out a table well. If you are going with a group, order a side or two to share while the bowls land.

Service is built for speed and convenience, a deliberate choice for a university district where people eat between classes and shifts. Quality is the stated priority, and the month-long soft opening suggests the kitchen has had time to settle in before the big day.
