"Even this restaurant in the busy airport, the taste of soup is so deep and the texture of pork slide is so tender. I am so much enjoying the donkatsu ramen."

"The food was good value! I shared a double bowl and some sushi with my husband and it was really great for the price. I rated low for the atmosphere because it's an airport...you don't expect atmosphere. Maybe some low volume music in the background? In any case the chilli kaaraage and garlic karaarge was really good and sure to get pickled ginger in the salad and sesame dressing. Yum!"

"While waiting for my flight, I found a clean-looking sushi shop and decided to go in. It turned out to be a newly opened store. The staff were friendly, and the ramen was light and delicious. I really liked the clean environment of the store! Wishing you great success."
