Ramen Bayashi — Restaurant in Narita

When visiting Narita, you absolutely cannot leave town without trying the Red Chili Pepper Ramen here at Ramen Bayashi, I forbid you to! This ramen is a reason for living. In fact, I have been known to jump a flight here from Sydney with friends, purely for a bowl of this delicious noodle soup. I'm deadly serious.

A favorite of Flight Crew around the world, this place has become a gathering place for Flight Attendants & Pilots alike. We share our war stories here over long necks of Asahi & some of the best ramen in the world before working the long flight home.

The Red Chili Pepper Ramen here is king & yet it would be almost blasphemous to not order their wonderfully crispy scallion covered Gyoza. I don't care how gross I ultimately feel, I'm ordering both. These little beauties are among the best gyoza I've had on my many trips to Japan & it's easy to put away multiple plates.

There is an English menu available so fear not tourists & if you fall in love with the food here, be sure to grab a Red Chili Pepper Ramen t-shirt on your way...

We decided to lunch here as various reports from the trip advisor have pretty decent reviews.

Ordered the pork ramen (their signature), stir fry mixed vegetables, and gyoza.

Generally, all turned out delicious. Ramen broth was think and flavourful. Gyoza had a nice taste to it. The mixed veg was well fried and fragrant.

Service was alright, no frills. No extra smiles but they did their job.

Restaurant was clearly owned by someone related to aeroplane or a pilot. Stickers of airlines can be seen all over. Even a pilot suit was framed up nicely n displayed.

Price wise - I reckoned its on the higher side. A bowl of their popular ramen cost 1250Y. But I must also add that the portions are huge. All of us even tho hungry could not complete eating the noodles. 2 could share one bowl if neither one of you are famished.

If you are walking around in the Narita old town, you should...

Was around Narita and didn’t know what to eat. A sudden urge to have ramen brought me to this place. When I opened the door, I was greeted with a warm welcome. They had an English menu and the waitress understood basic English so ordering wasn’t a problem. They also had single dining cubicles so it wasn’t uncomfortable to dine alone.

I ordered the spicy chashu ramen (forgot the exact name) and they were very generous with the portion. The ramen was topped with so many pieces of perfectly roasted chashu and a lot of vegetables. The broth was a little bit on the salty side but it was expected. The ramen was cooked to a perfect consistency, pleasant to bite. I ordered some sake to go with.

I certainly had a great time there. Perfect meal on a...
