Curry rice under 1,000 yen in Narita T2
Curry house in Narita Terminal 2 is the straightforward stop for a fast plate of Japanese curry before your flight. You’re looking at typical prices around 800–1,200 yen for curry rice, well below what many T2 sit‑down spots charge. Portions run on the generous side, and service moves quickly enough that a 30–40 minute gap before boarding is usually fine.
This is inside T2, so you don’t have to shuttle to T1 or T3 just to eat. Expect a short counter-service setup with simple tables, not a long linger meal. Standard options like pork cutlet curry, chicken curry, and vegetable curry dominate the menu, with spice levels generally mild by Japanese standards. Water is free, and you pay at the register before you sit down, which speeds things up if your gate call is coming soon.
Food timing is predictable: most curry plates hit the table within 10 minutes of ordering, even when there are 8–10 people ahead of you. The pork katsu curry is the safe bet, with a decent crisp cutlet and plenty of sauce over rice. If there’s an option to add cheese or an egg for 100–200 yen, it’s usually worth it for the extra protein and texture. Expect typical airport mark-up on extras, but still less than many Western chains in the same terminal.
Since Curry house sits in T2, you can stay close to your departure gate and skip hunting through the rest of Narita for something cheaper. Lines tend to spike at usual meal windows around 11:30–13:30 and 18:00–20:00, so if your flight out of T2 is in that range, the move is to eat first, then shop for omiyage after.
