" I recently tried Futaba with a couple of friends, and while we enjoyed our meal, there were some mixed feelings. The ramen was very good, especially the spicy miso variety. However, the staff seemed a bit overwhelmed as the restaurant was quite busy. We also noticed our table was a bit cramped due to the size of the place, but it did add to that authentic 'hole-in-the-wall' feel. All in all, a solid experience, but I would recommend coming during off-peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love this hidden gem! The ramen here is consistently delicious, and I can confirm that the spicy miso is a must-try for anyone who enjoys their food with a kick. The gyoza is fantastic too. Often we order a combination meal to share, which is perfect because we get to sample multiple dishes. It's small, cozy, and beautifully decorated—perfect for a casual dinner with friends. The only downside is parking can be tricky, but it's a small price to pay for great food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I wanted to give Futaba a try after hearing so many good things. The ramen was tasty, although I did find it a bit on the salty side. I appreciated the authenticity of the flavors, however, as it reminded me of my travels to Japan. The service was polite, but the wait could be frustrating when busy. The portions were decent, and the gyoza was delightful. I'll come back to see if I can get a less salty bowl next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Futaba offers a delightful dining experience. I loved their spicy ramen, and the portion sizes were excellent. The staff provides great service and are very attentive. The only downside is that it's quite small, so there was a wait for a table, but it was well worth it. The food is authentic and delicious—we will definitely return for seconds! " (*Curated Review*)

" Futaba is absolutely fantastic! The ramen is flavorful and authentic, and the service is always friendly. I tried a few different dishes, and each one was impressive. The only drawback was the tight seating which can make it a bit uncomfortable during busy hours. Otherwise, it’s perfect for a casual dining experience. I can’t stress enough how much I’ll keep returning to this amazing ramen spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" 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*)
