" Had a good time at Fukada! The food was great but it's clear they struggle a bit with takeout only at the moment. I got a classic udon, and honestly the flavors were nice but the service could have been more attentive especially given the wait times. But overall, I enjoyed my meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried Fukada after a recommendation, and it lived up to its reputation! Simple yet delicious flavors came through in every bite. The service was friendly, though they could work on efficiency as I felt rushed. I’m excited to come back and sample more of what they offer. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fukada is one of my favorite spots in town! They serve excellent quality food that reminds me of Japan. Whether sitting at the bar or outdoors, the experience feels relaxed and cozy. I'm particularly fond of their tempura options. There’s a bit of a wait during lunch hours, but it’s always worth it! Prepare to be impressed by how fresh everything tastes. " (*Curated Review*)

" I truly love dining at Fukada. Their udon noodles are unmatched in the area, beautifully springy, and paired with a distinct broth. Everything feels so authentic too! I also appreciate their variety of toppings for the noodles. We had to wait a bit for a seat, but it's a sign of how popular they are. I can highly recommend their spicy tuna don; it's pure heaven. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food experience at Fukada is memorable! The unagi don had a lovely sweetness and the garnish made it feel indulgent. While the wait was longer than expected, I believe the quality of the food made up for it. I was also pleased with the overall cleanliness of the establishment given the current circumstances. I would recommend it to anyone looking for authentic Japanese dining! " (*Curated Review*)

" First visit here, I'm impressed! The spicy tuna on rice matched perfectly with my udon. The staff was quite welcoming as well. My only quibble would be with the takeout packaging—it detracted a bit from the dining experience. Overall though, it's a solid restaurant worthy of a return trip to explore more of their menu offerings! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love Fukada! Every dish I've tried has been amazing, especially their udon and seafood salad. I've dined here many times, and consistently the quality stays high! The only downside is it gets crowded, but the atmosphere is lively and vibrant. Can't wait to go back and try more! " (*Curated Review*)
