Yes, a half portion of noodles. Understood.
Gesture & etiquette
Hold up two fingers for 'kae-dama', then make a 'half' gesture with your hand if you feel it helps.
Don't hesitate to ask if you're not sure about portion sizes. It's common to order 'kae-dama' (extra noodles) in ramen shops, especially Hakata-style.
