はい、麺固め半分ですね。少々お待ちください。

はい、めんかためはんぶんですね。しょうしょうおまちください。

Yes, firm noodles, half portion. Please wait a moment.

Hold up one finger for 'kae-dama', then gesture a small amount with your thumb and forefinger for 'hanbun'.

Do not expect all shops to accommodate such specific requests, especially very busy ones or those with limited staff.
