| - I will start this off by saying I am not really a fan of ramen noodles. I pretty much feel like I can just make ramen at home, throw some chicken in it, and it would be FINE.
I don't think I'd be able to replicate Futo Buta's ramen very easily!
My girlfriend was feeling ramen on a Sunday and after scanning Yelp, she narrowed down her search to Futo Buta. We placed an order to pick up and got there quickly. We are new around the area so it took us a few minutes to find the place, but took no time at all once we were in!
We brought our respective ramen bowls and our Japanese friend chicken home and dug in. The chicken tasted GREAT. It had lost a lot of crunchiness due to the 15 minute ride back home but that's to be expected. I can imagine when fresh, the chicken is incredible. The sauce served with the JFC was SO good.
I ordered the seasonal ramen that came with vinegar ginger soy, smoke porked belly, leek, scallion, serrano, spicy ground pork, bamboo, wakame, ginger, onsen egg, and I added bok choy. A little vat of broth also came with it that was delicious. It wasn't a ton of broth, but enough to coat all the ingredients and noodles which I prefer as opposed to a more soupy ramen.
My girlfriend got the Tonkotsu ramen which was more on the soupy ramen side and was very earthy I guess due to the mushrooms, but that was pretty good too.
As I mentioned, I'm not the biggest ramen fan, but the next time I get a craving I'll definitely be going back to Futo Buta.
