" Just got back from Futaba and I have mixed feelings. The ramen was as delicious as I’ve heard, but we waited quite a while for a table during peak dinner hours. The staff was friendly but seemed rushed, likely due to the number of customers. I can recommend the tonkotsu ramen—very flavorful and definitely one of the better bowls in the area. I’m likely to visit again, but probably during off-hours to avoid the crowd. " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who has tried ramen from many places, I can confidently say Futaba serves some of the best I’ve ever tasted. Their broth is incredibly rich and flavorful, and the noodles are perfectly cooked. I splurged on the tempura prawns as well, and they were light and crispy! The restaurant itself has a very cozy feel, which makes for a great date night spot. Just be aware of the potential wait times since it's a small location, but it’s worth it for the food! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful experience at Futaba! The ramen was full of flavor and had a depth that’s hard to find elsewhere. I particularly loved their spicy version which packed a punch! The ambiance was cozy, and the service was attentive without feeling rushed. I was fortunate to find a table without a long wait on a weekday evening. It’s a bit small but adds to the charm. Definitely coming back with more friends next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place definitely knows how to make ramen! The broth in the tonkotsu ramen was rich and authentic; I felt I was transported straight to Japan. I appreciate that it's a small, family-owned spot. Their service was quick, and the staff was genuinely kind and attentive. The only downside was the size—considering how busy they get, it can be a disruptive environment when everyone is packed in. Still, the quality of food makes up for it without a doubt. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't get enough of Futaba! The ramen is out of this world. The spicy miso is my favorite—it has just the right amount of kick! I also love their karaage chicken; it’s perfectly crispy every time. The atmosphere is cozy, and the staff is always warm and welcoming. I have recommended this place to all my friends and family, and all of them have had amazing experiences too. It's definitely worth waiting for a table because the food is simply unmatched.

" Every single time I go to Futaba, I leave happy. The flavors in their ramen are superb, and I also love their little appetizers like the pickled veggies that you get upon arrival. It's a great way to start your meal. The restaurant is cozy and has a nostalgic feel to it, which is quite charming. If you want to experience genuine ramen without breaking the bank, this is the place to go! " (*Curated Review*)

" My wife and I had dinner at Futaba last night and were absolutely blown away! We ordered the tonkotsu ramen and curry, both of which we enjoyed. The curry was a delightful balance of spices, not too heavy, while the ramen was creamy and delicious. Although we had to wait about 20 minutes for a table on a Saturday night, the ambiance was pleasant, and the staff remained upbeat. I can't recommend it enough; this will be our regular spot from now on! " (*Curated Review*)
