Handmade udon noodles, hot and cold options, unique flavors


"A pleasant spot for hot and cold udon options, including some more unique spins, such as the cold Mad Tiger udon with spicy miso pork and cherry tomatoes." - Celina Colby

"This Fenway udon shop is known for its large, creative selection of freshly made udon dishes, from a cold udon topped with a handsome amount of sea urchin to miso carbonara udon. But it’s the sukiyaki udon that truly shines, with the noodles swimming in a semi-clear broth of slightly sweet and fatty braised beef slices. The owners Minh Bui and Xue Zhen Cao are behind the opening team at beloved soba house Sugidama in Somerville, which is rumored to reopen soon near its original location." - Valerie Li Stack

"Futago means “twins” in Japanese, giving a very cute reason behind the name of this Brookline udon establishment that opened in 2019. The udon is house-made each day, and the menu features a huge range of hot and cold udon choices, including a hot sukiyaki udon and, pictured, a spicy miso pork-topped cold udon. Futago is currently open for indoor dining, takeout, and delivery." - Karen Wilber


"Opened in Audubon Circle (just down the street from Kenmore Square in the Fenway neighborhood) in 2019, Futago Udon is another recent addition to the local udon scene." - Terrence Doyle
"Futago is a nice little neighborhood udon spot in Audubon Circle. It serves cold bowls in addition to warm ones, so you don’t need to completely forsake it for the few months a year when just thinking about a big bowl of hot broth makes you sweat. That’s good news, because this airy spot with a few outdoor tables is a good option to grab lunch any time." - Dan Secatore
