| - I finally got a chance to check out Futo Buta. For the most part, I felt underwhelmed. The food was just okay, which, when combined with the price, was a bummer.
I got the miso (hungry) and it was not bad, just not worth $12. I also ordered the duck confit buns which were also good, just not worth $10. I topped the meal off with ice cream and it was tasty, just not worth $5. Are you seeing a theme here? Overpriced for what you get, in my opinion.
The highlight to the experience was the service. Everyone was super friendly, and our waitress was top-notch. She talked to me about their sake selection, and explained how sake works (for lack of a better word). She was extremely nice, and checked in often.
Ultimately, I feel neutral toward this place. I can't exactly recommend it, but also wouldn't NOT recommend it, if that makes sense. I think if you're willing to spend the money, you could do much better if you're not set on ramen; but then again, ramen is a unique dish and I don't know of any other ramen places in CLT. So... Give it a try. Or don't. Whatever.
And thus ends the most useless Yelp review ever!
