| - Since I moved to Charlotte four months ago, I've been to lots of good restaurants, but none that blew me away.
Futo Buta changed all of that.
Food: We started with two appetizers: the pork and scallop gyoza and the smoked pork belly buns. When we took our first bite of each, we simply said "yum." This was our first time trying ramen so we asked our sweet waitress for recommendations. I was safe and ordered the Tonkotsu ramen which was comforting and bursting with flavor. My boyfriend got the Fire and Ice (kimchi flavor) and he slurped that baby up.
Atmosphere: It's right on the light rail, which automatically screams hip and cool. On a beautiful day, sit outside to watch all the runners, walkers, puppies, trains, and hipstery shenanigans. Across the tracks are a bunch of restaurants and bars (Oak Room, All American, Slate Billiards, Hot Taco) so the area is buzzing with activity. During the colder months, get there early because the inside is small.
Loved it.
