Welcome to Futo! Where the fun has everything to do with how comfortable you feel slurping your noodles and drinking from a spoon made for giants. This place is the shiz, and it's delicious. Perhaps not the best first date location, but the perfect place to go with friends or someone you've already locked down :).
There are a lot of things I love about this place - but the first and most important is the food. It's really more like edible art, complete with hands on activities. If it's your first time you really should try one of the ramen bowls + pork (if you're not a veggie you should just add pork to whatever they have available). After your first time you can branch out, but why not try what they're known for? If you're looking for an appetizer I would absolutely try the rice crispy tuna or the steamed bun (pork or eggplant - both bangin). I have not yet had the pleasure of trying the sushi, but mostly it's because the ramen is just SO good.
Next, the environment. Imagine the inside of a renovated airstream trailer, decorated by the finest interior designer in the land, that looks and feels like coming in from a long day on the ski slopes to a fireside hearty meal that melts in your mouth.
The staff - every single person in there is remarkably nice. I've eaten there twice now and both times our waiter/waitress was accommodating and made great recommendations. The kitchen has a slightly open feel to it, so you can see the chefs and they can see you. They look up and greet you as you come and go - and in general is just has a really calm, positive energy to it. That might actually be the best part.
Cheers
