Kyushu Hakata Ramen Ponkotsu-tei — Restaurant in Narita

The cozy and warm place, not far from the Aeon mall Narita, where my tourist group had their last-minute shopping before went to Narita Airport.

Maybe we are a type of tourist that loves the atmosphere of old-fashioned food shops like this ramen rather than famous chains (like Ichiran ramen..). It makes ramen shop much more...ramen way (like a movie Tampopo)

In terms of food, the grilled-rib tonkotstu here is unique. Compared to the tonkotstu bow in Ichiran Osaka, this place is more delicious and spices, but if it had came with more richness, then there would have been the perfect bow. The salty of the soup is the other thing we-the tourists-need to consider. I said it was better than the Ichiran, and the owner seemed not to believe too much 😁

Menu all in Japanese,but the owner can speak English a little bit, and he will help you immediately if you have trouble with your order.

Hopeful we'll have a chance to come back when we visit...

Delicious ramen! Best in narita area! Short walk from aeon mall area. Small joint has about 10-12 seats only. Lunch is from 11-2pm usually pretty easy to get a seat during lunch hours. Dinner gets pretty busy.

Ramen is delicious! The pork rib ramen is really special. The menu is in japanese however the staff will help you if you need it. If you want the spicy version its 50 yen more which is worth it cuz the spice developes the broth even more. You can also request your noodles to be hard/normal/soft. Picture below shows what i ordered and which one it is on the menu...

Went here for the good reviews about their ribs ramen and there are 2 opening times so I went the later one.

Honestly speaking, the noodles and the soup was just ok, but the rib was super tender and delicious. Thats what everyone been talking about on the reviews and I agreed.

I do love the ambience here as it feels homey and the owner was super super nice.

All menus are only in Japanese and Cash only. Lucky the owner helped me with the translation as also there’s pictures of the food that...
