Futo Buta

We came with our dog expecting to be seated outside. The hostess said they weren’t Really doing service outside and that it was most likely going to rain. Understood. I asked if we could get a to go order to eat on the patio and the hostess said sure. After I made my order the hostess came back and said that we could not eat to go food on the patio. As we were leaving we saw that a large party was being seated outside after we had been told there was no service. This is extremely disappointing since we enjoyed the food. Probably won’t be coming back for a while.

The food is really good, but I don’t recommend getting take out. For some reason they charge a take-out fee when you pick up your own food, which I was really surprised they were still doing given that take out is the only option for restaurants right now. Hopefully this fee is being given to servers who aren’t making money right now, otherwise I don’t see the purpose of it.

The best ramen in Charlotte. It's not even close really. The review probably should be five stars...but... they've outgrown their current location IMO. Unless you go at an off hour, you are probably going to be hit with a significant wait. Two visits ago the wife and I were told a 2 hour wait, which the host seemed rather proud of. Petty to remove the star for a smirk...but I did.
