Chad Klinefelter - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 2025-1-4

Delicious! The menu was diverse. The focus is their yakitori (skewers) and their sake offerings. Tanuki hour (happy hour) was nice, with a few well-priced sakes (I had a great glass of cold sake) and small plates on offer (the umami fries were tasty). I tried a mix of their yakitori, getting 3x and making it a bento (added pickles, rice and soy egg for $6 extra). The tsukune (chicken meatballs) and grilled mushrooms were great, the grilled fish was decent but not my favorite. They have some sneaky good ramen offerings - the futo shio was totally awesome. We sat at the chef's counter, and thus got to see a lot of other great-looking plates going out that we didn't have room to try. We finished with the kakigori (shaved ice) which was a treat for the eyes and taste both - the small/half portion is definitely enough for two people to split, and based on the size of that, I am sure the large/full portion is pretty huge! The vibes were great (music and atmosphere), and service was friendly. Would definitely return.

First time eating here and I was very impressed! I started with the Fun Police, very delicious but not too sweet, and ate the fries tofu and side fries. My husband got the Ramen and our friend the fish and chips, all which was excellent! We will be returning!

I initially heard of Bar Futo when the James Beard award list was released. A Japanese-inspired restaurant with yakitori/binchotan grilling wasn't something that I could find easily and had to visit. I sat at the chefs counter, which gave you a full view of the kitchen, dinner and a show. The menu had a lot of options, from the skewers to raw dishes, to noodles and bowls. The cocktails and drinks were also fun and inventive. They even have a Toki highball machine which made the absolute best highball I've ever had! All the skewers I tried were delicious and really filled you up. At the end, the kakigori (Shaved ice) was also monstrous and such a treat. Overall, loved everything about the place and would certainly return.
