Question
I’m planning to visit Japan and I’ve heard a lot about Japanese ramen. I want to try ordering a bowl of ramen independently at a local shop. How do I say “I would like to order one bowl of ramen” in Japanese?

ラーメンを一杯（いっぱい）お願いします（おねがいします）。
Ramen o ippai onegaishimasu.
I would like to order one bowl of ramen.
This phrase is useful when you want to order food in Japan. The word “ramen” refers to the dish you want to eat, “ippai” means “one bowl”, and “onegaishimasu” is a polite way to request or ask for something.
If you want to order more than one bowl, you can change “ippai” to the desired number, like “ni-hai” for two bowls. Use this phrase to enjoy Japanese cuisine and have a pleasant dining experience.
