Futo Buta

Ramen restaurant · South End

12 Spots for an Exciting Lunch Break in Charlotte

"Always crowded, always worth the wait. This snug ramen shop overlooking the Charlotte Rail Trail in South End features deep bowls of steaming ramen ranging from vegan to pork belly. Start with the shishito peppers and the crispy fried Brussels sprouts with light bonito flakes, and end with the soft serve ice cream of the day — miso ginger is the latest." - Katie Toussaint, Kathleen Purvis
