Hyperlocal Tokyo

Late lunch at Haneda Airport International Terminal in October 2023. I was indecisive about what to eat and decided on Chinese food. The restaurant had a sophisticated and calming atmosphere. I ordered the Five-Flavor Stir-Fried Noodles with Gravy Set and the Dan Dan Noodles Set. The egg drop soup was mild and comforting. The steamed pork dumplings were large and satisfying. The pickled mustard greens were a perfect palate cleanser. The gravy was packed with large ingredients and the noodles were perfectly coated, making for a delicious dish. The Dan Dan Noodles were rich and had a nice spicy kick, also very tasty.

I had the Dan Dan Noodles set and the Five-Flavor Abundant Gravy Fried Noodles. The fried rice was moist and flavorful, very good. The Dan Dan Noodles were also rich and delicious. The gravy fried noodles were a bit disappointing. The noodles didn't hold the gravy well, and I felt the gravy lacked sweetness and umami. The soup was delicious. The set's noodles were a bit small, so the picture was misleading. The price is understandable since it's at the airport. The almond tofu was the best part of the meal.

The five-flavor stir-fried noodles with gravy seem to be a recommended dish. It might have been a coincidence, but the noodles were unevenly cooked, and some parts seemed slightly overcooked. For this price, I think there could be more ingredients (other than napa cabbage). The flavor was a bit strong.

It's bustling with foreign tourists. The service is friendly and comfortable.

**Lively Chinese Food at the Airport** This restaurant was a welcome change from the many quiet eateries in the airport. It was bustling with groups of people chatting loudly, a true testament to its Chinese character. **Shrimp and Vegetable Lo Mein with Gravy, Steamed Buns** **Good** ☆The large sign outside drew me in, so I ordered the featured Shrimp and Vegetable Lo Mein with Gravy. It was hot, full of ingredients, and delicious. **Bad** ★The individual dishes were surprisingly affordable for an airport, but the beer was expensive. ★The enticing displays almost made me order a set meal, but the price difference between individual dishes and sets was significant. I think it's definitely more economical to order only what you need individually.
