My review is solely based on appetizers. We were in and out in less than 45 minutes.
Futo Buta is a bit hidden from the street and I can imagine that if you don't live within walking distance that you might struggle finding parking. There were a ton of people waiting outside so we almost didn't go but once inside we learned that everyone was waiting to sit in their outside seating and not in the really small interior. The hostess sat us at the bar which I found a little strange but I guess with such limited seating they have to regulate.
We ordered brussel sprouts, tofu kebabs, and the japanese fried chicken. Everything was pretty tasty but the brussel sprouts were AMAZING!! Amazing to the point where we ordered more....amazing to the point where we noticed EVERYONE around us was ordering them. The japanese fried chicken was interestingly seasoned with a spicy sauce. It kind of reminded me of chicken nuggets and sauce...nothing to write home about.
The interior of this place was nice and cozy. I'd come back just for the brussel sprouts.
