| - I can't say a thing about the ambiance or service because I haven't been inside Futo Buta, but I'd heard and read enough about it that I wanted to try it out.. and on one random cold evening when I was craving a bowl of hot and spicy ramen, my husband brought home some from Futo Buta! I've done take out Chinese and Thai a million times, Ramen however - I hadn't done that. I was a little skeptical, but we went for it anyway. I am happy to report that take-out ramen can be Amazing! it didn't get cold or soggy or ... well may be the presentation got a wee bit messed up, but I can live with that.
We got a few different items off the menu - roasted eggplant and zucchini buns, fire and ice & Chizu ramen, hamachi crudo and tofu skewers. My most favorite was the fire & ice ramen and least favorite were the tofu skewers. The ramen was salty, spicy, and just overall flavorful - exactly what I was craving! the skewers were flavorful, but a little too sweet and saucy for me. I enjoyed the buns and hamachi, but I have mixed feelings about the chizu ramen. An overly cheesy / eggy ramen is not typically what I think of when I think ramen.
I look forward to dining at the restaurant in the near future, but if that doesn't happen soon enough, I'll be going back for more take out.
