Wagamama, London Heathrow Airport

The London-based chain of pan-Asian noodle specialists got creative for its first airport restaurant. A breakfast menu includes everything from coconut porridge to yakisoba (fried soba) noodles with bacon and eggs; after noon, go for multitudinous incarnations of ramen, soba, and udon. The long oak tables evoke a plane aisle, and floor-to-ceiling windows afford excellent views onto the runway and lower concourse.
