Airport Restaurant

Eaten on July 21, 2026. The Airport Canteen is located at the far end of the 1st floor of Naha Airport; it requires some observation to find. When I arrived at lunchtime, there was no queue, but when I left, a long line had formed. After lifting the curtain, you order using the self-service machine at the entrance, pay, and receive a number. If you have difficulty using the machine, the staff will provide assistance. Once you find a seat you like, wait for your number to be called, then get up with your ticket and collect your food from the table at the entrance. When it's crowded, you'll need to wait in a line. I ordered pork rib soba noodles/pork rib noodles. There was almost no wait; I received steaming hot noodles and tender, large chunks of meat. The broth was light and delicious, and the portion was just right—satisfying even without any seasoning. After finishing, you need to take your tray and bowl back inside the restaurant and leave.

The restaurant in the domestic terminal of the airport is a bit hidden and remote, but compared to other more expensive restaurants, this restaurant is just like any Japanese restaurant you can find on the road. It provides home-style meals and is very affordable for an airport. The only drawback is that if you are in the international terminal, you have to walk to the domestic terminal to dine.

It's rare to have such a cheap restaurant on the first floor of an airport. The food tastes pretty good and the price/performance ratio is very high.
