| - First of all, I love ramen!!! I've been eaten ramen for 20+ years, and had really authentic ramen in Japan.
I've been to Futo Buta twice. 4 star for food, 2 for experience.
Food - I have tried Tonkotsu, Miso with added Spicy Pork, Fire&Ice, and Hiyashi. They are all decent, but then again I like ramen in general. Tonkotsu and Miso soup base are a bit over salty. Salmon in Fire&Ice was better than I expected. I would come back just because there is limited options for ramen in Charlotte. If this place was in LA, I probably would come back only for convenience.
Waiter - For the second visit, the waiter who led us to the table was very rude. We had 5, and he insisted we either sit at a 4-person table, or wait for another table to finish. There were 2 4-person tables available next to each other, and this was at 3pm on Monday, so the restaurant was not busy. We took the 4-person table thinking it would work, since 1 of us was a child. However, the table was made up of two separate pieces, so there was a big gap in the middle, and 1 person couldn't fit comfortably without having to awkwardly lean over to one side. So we asked the waiter if we could split into a table of 3, and a table of 2, and just occupy both the 4-person tables. Wow, did we get scolded as if we were little kids. He insisted we need to wait for another table to finish if we can't all fit in the 4-person table. We were too hungry to wait, so had to awkwardly eat our ramen. Even after we finished, the table we supposedly had to wait for was still not finished, and they decided to seat a party of 2 at the 4-person table we wanted to occupy, while other 2-seats remained open at the restaurant.
