Futo Buta is a modern izakaya - an informal Japanese bar - famous in Charlotte for its amazing ramen. Offering a number of delectable and unique Japanese eats, this hip noodle house could not be in a better location, being close to the homes of both the Carolina Panthers and the Charlotte Hornets. Futo Buta is so popular in Charlotte that a second location has since opened in Asheville, North Carolina!

Futo Buta began as a vision for chef and founder Michael Shortino. A third-generation chef from New York with a passion for Asian fare, Chef Shortino travelled throughout the Eastern world and the United States to perfect his craft. After finding a home in the Carolinas, Chef Shortino made it his mission to showcase the delicacies of Japanese cuisine in the South. It all started in 2015 for Chef Shortino when he opened Futo Buta. One of the first ramen shops in North Carolina, Futo Buta is an homage to the history of ramen. While delicious fried dumplings, Japanese buns and tofu skewers round out the menu, we highly recommend ordering the ramen. Made with homemade broth and served in bowls made by a local potter using Carolina clay, everything about this dish just has a warmth about it. 

The contemporary setting at Futo Buta is centered on their indoor bar area and their pleasant outdoor patio. Their bar serves up a vast selection of sake and beer - which are perfect additions to any meal! We highly recommend stopping by Futo Buta the next time that you are in Charlotte! They’re serving up some of the finest ramen in the Carolinas!

When considering where to eat in Charlotte, be sure to think of Futo Buta! Futo Buta is always a popular destination for sports fans travelling to Charlotte to watch the Carolina Panthers and the Charlotte Hornets play!
