Came here twice in the past few months and waited ~10 minutes each time. Drove both times and was able to find street parking on neighboring streets although I'm sure it's even easier if you just take the T. Staff was friendly and attentive and the restaurant is open and inviting although the space between tables can sometimes be quite tight. I ordered the sukiyaki udon and the agedashi tofu as an appetizer. Both were delicious and the portion is large for the udon. The broth tasted great and they don't skimp on the toppings either. Definitely a hearty meal. My friends have also enjoyed their curry udon and the mille crepe dessert. Would come back again. read more

We parked at the 401 Park Garage and walked here but I believe there is some street parking available. We didn't make a reservation but didn't have to wait for a table (Sunday early evening). Cute decor and pretty quiet indoors. We shared a bowl of the Uni Cream Udon and they gave us two smaller bowls to share. The Udon was cooked well, the broth rich and very good but wish it was just a little hotter. It came out quickly and decent service. read more

Futago Udon - Japanese Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

This small family-run restaurant near BU housing specializes in homemade udon (good sign that half of the restaurant's diners were returning customers). Started with the shumai dumplings stuffed with shrimp, and then the kamo nanban udon (duck slices on top). Both were very good (vegetarian options also available). The udon entree portion was large enough for me to take some home. Staff worked quickly and efficiently, so that those waiting could get a table (there can be a wait at lunch time). This was a nice, reasonable priced find near BU and near Green Line T stops. read more

Wow! The perfect chewy noodles house made was coated in the creamy rich sauce that was super well balanced. Every bite was making me want more - some would have bits of crab, others the uni and sometime both! I had such a culinary experience enjoying every spoonful!

This experience blew my mind. It reminded me of the cute ramen spot near my own college campus, just as this one is right by BU. I bet it's a comfort meal for many students. Given that it's a campus spot, it's not that big but not too small either. We were able to be seated despite it being kind of busy. It feels so amazing to enjoy warm noodles as fall becomes winter, especially as a Southerner visiting New England! We shared the agedashi tofu and takoyaki for appetizers. I ordered the cheese curry udon for my main. I also got to taste some of their famous uni cream udon. The flavors of both starters were incredible & I was happy to get more than one piece of each. While the cheese curry was still good, I wish it had more cheesy texture. I should have ordered the uni cream udon because it was unbelievable, but that's okay I'll save it for my next trip... read more

I came here with a friend after exploring a few museums and we were craving something warm since it was cold and snowy. Luckily, there wasn't a wait so we were seated immediately. The inside so cute with aesthetically pleasing wall art. We both got the sukiyaki udon and it was delicious! I personally love sukiyaki but sometimes it can get too sweet, but they managed to do a good job! We also got some takoyaki, which also tasted pretty good! Overall, great place! Would definitely be back again. read more

December 11, 2025 ~3pm. I lost my appetite today after one of the waitresses showed an obnoxious attitude. The one without eyeglasses is the rude and obnoxious one. The other waitress with eyeglasses is actually very nice but the restaurant got tainted by the obnoxious condescending waitress. She sarcastically mocked us for asking for additional bowls to share the dishes. This personnel smirked, glanced at our other dishes, as if hinting that why would we need additional bowls... Also, when handing us the udon soups, this personnel just slammed the bowls on the table. Talking about appropriate server's etiquette -- not to mention common decency as a human being. Highly caution all customers to stay away from this personnel--she shouldn't be in the customer service business. read more

Futago has a great variety of flavorful bowls of udon that are all fantastic for a cold day! Food: Every udon I've tried has been a blast of flavor. The broth clings perfectly to the udon noodles making the bouncy noodles the star. The creamy uni bowl was my favorite flavor so far but it's almost too rich to finish in one sitting. Service: The wait staff is very friendly and work hard to seat you in a reasonable wait time. Atmosphere: The paints on the wall and the wooden furniture makes for a cozy space, but since the seating space is maxed out it can get a little noisy. read more

Delicious!! The food was savory and satisfying, but didn't leave me feeling disgusting or too heavy. The items I tried were flavorful. I got the Uni Cream Udon, but without the uni. They ran out of uni, but they said they could substitute it with Snow Crab instead. The restaurant was bright with natural light and clean. All the items were well crafted and aesthetically pleasing. Service was standard and good. The waitress talked a bit fast, but was thorough. read more

Good food. Good vibes. Friendly staff. Tucked away in a corner of the Fenway area is this nice spot for yummy noodz. Personally loved the uni cream, as it felt pretty refreshing while still maintaining its smooth texture going down - definitely would suggest if you're into seafood, along with their fried oysters! Plenty of street parking, if you know where to find it. Otherwise, it's just a short walk from the green line. Would definitely recommend. read more

Futago has been on my list and it did not disappoint! I am still DREAMING of my creamy uni udon from futago. It was a little pricy, however, i think very worth it. It was so fresh, creamy, and unlike anything I had before. The noodles were bouncy and long, and there was more than enough food (i could barely finish my portion. We came on a weekday for lunch and were sat immediately, but there was still quite a few customers. Service was very attentive (I do not think our water ever went down more than a few sips) and super fast with our bowls coming out almost immediately. The inside ambiance if very casual and cute. I will certainly be coming back to try more! read more

Came here around 7:30pm on a Saturday night and there was quite the wait. There were 4 groups ahead of us and the waiting area in the restaurant was really tiny, so people were huddled on the sidewalk and some people even waited in their cars because it was so cold out. Definitely get here a bit earlier if you want to be seated quickly since there aren't a ton of seats, but their system was quite good to get people served quickly. While we were waiting, we were asked what our order would be so when we did get seated, we had our food in a matter of minutes. Truffle beef udon ($21) - I had a taste of my partner's dish and the truffle taste was very prominent, so if you like truffle this could be the dish for you. The beef was nice and soft, and the rich broth was very hearty and filling. Uni cream udon ($25) - This was my order and it was SO GOOD. The cream broth was actually a lot more watery than I thought it would be, but it ended up being quite good because it wasn't as heavy. I drank the entire broth by the end of the meal - it had a nice milky cream taste to it without being too heavy on the cream or butter. The plump udon paired really nicely with the cream sauce, and the toppings really made this special. The fish eggs were popping and salty, the crab was actual crab meat (not imitation!) and really sweet, and the uni was creamy and delicious without being very fishy at all. I'd say I would order this next time, but I really want to try the cold uni udon as well, but this was a winner - would definitely order again on a repeat trip after trying some of the other flavors. The service was also very good - they were very attentive to water and very up front about the seating situation and the time estimates for those waiting. A wonderful experience! read more

I was craving a warm bowl of noodle soup on the cold Nov evening, and Futago had delicious options. The niku udon looked like the one from Raku udon (in NYC) so I opted for this hot, warm umami-y bowl of beef short-rib, tripe and tendon, with spinach. Located near BU campus, there was no wait on 5pm weekday evening, but it got busier throughout the night. Futago has LOTS of diff udon options , with specialty dishes (uni cream, sukiyaki, cold udon). The noodles could've been more QQ/chewy, and broth a little less salty...but overall, the dish was comforting and warming. Delicious and tender meat too! read more

Impeccable. They let you order ahead of getting a table. Great system with a short wait. Once you get to your table you basically have your food ready to go. Their udon is so tasty, not too salty, and so many good veggies and protein. Once you sit down you're not rushed and the team is super friendly. Unique artwork and paintings are placed at every corner. Great candies as a treat afterwards too. 10/10 I always go here read more

Visited Miraku for dinner and waited about half an hour for a seat--it was during the dinner rush and lots of take out orders so not surprised threre. The staff handled the wait professionally and were friendly. They took our orders ahead of time so the food arrived quickly once we were seated. The chicken karaage what you'd expect, juicy on the inside, crispy on the outside. Classic and well executed. The sukiyaki udon, however, was a miss. The broth had a heavy mushroom flavor and the dish was loaded with mushrooms, which overpowered everything else. The udon noodles themselves were fine, but the overall balance wasn't what I was hoping for. Despite the mixed results, the service and atmosphere left a good impression. I'd come back to try something else from the menu and adjust the rating in the off chance that this time i ordered something that didnt match my taste buds. read more

I got the chicken curry udon and the curry was rich and delicious. Fried chicken in the udon was fried beautifully, adding some texture from the outer shell but still being so light in batter that it was more chicken than tempura. Service was fast and friendly.

Both broths were rich and flavorful. The udon noodles had a perfect consistency. Also got the purple sweet potato tempura which we really enjoyed. Definitely planning to come back! read more

I came after the lunch rush and was seated right away. Parking outside is rough with mostly permit only. The place is medium size and good for smaller groups but could maybe do 1-2 larger groups. The restaurant was still quite packed with most tables taken. Service very fast with my food out in 5-10min. 10/10 Sukiyaki Udon $23 - quite pricey off the bat but serving size is LARGE. This could serve 2 but I eat a lot so it was enough for me. Udon was well made, chewy, and soaked up the broth well. Broth was also AMAZING. It was savory, slightly sweet, and had a lot of flavor. Comes with a perfect poached egg, soft tofu, thin sliced beef that also was tender and soaked up the soup. Worth the price for the once in a while cravings. 7/10 Chicken Tatsuta-age - $9.5 - Chicken was cooked through but still juicy. There's no seasoning on it so the sauce makes up most of the flavor which was still good. Chicken texture and shape was more like thin strips with a light batter crust. It was overall just ok for me. read more

This place was so good!! Food: 9/10 We got the Sukiyaki Udon and the Spicy Dan Dan Udon and both were yummy! The broth was well seasoned but not too overpowering towards any particular flavor. Presentation was thoughtful as well. Aside from udon, we also ordered shumai and edamame. These are classics and they tasted good. Quick service. We came and waited for about 20' for our table. We ordered before seated so the food came super quick. Overall, I'd come back here again to try other types of udon on the menu! read more

I had a great experience here. Be aware that it is very popular and there might be a long wait. We went as soon as they opened on a weekday noon (Veterans Day), and we didn't have to wait. We ate about 45 min, and as we were leaving the restaurant, we saw at least 10 people waiting in line!! - Fried Oysters: We started with these. Super crisp on the outside, juicy on the inside, with mayo + hoisin sauce and a lemon wedge. It came very hot, so be careful. One bite with all three = perfect salty-tangy-crunchy combo. - Cheesy Beef Curry Udon (Hot) The udon noodles were cooked to a perfect texture. The broth's curry flavor isn't too strong, more like beef broth + curry flavor. It is topped with a generous portion of thinly sliced beef that is savoury and sweet, a pile of scallions, sesame/furikake, and bright red pickled veggie (might be radish), as well as mozzarella cheese. The broth is very good that it can be drunk straight, and is just salty enough. - Uni & Crab Cream Udon The broth was creamy and rich (although somehow not as creamy as we previously had). It is almost like a seafood chowder. We drank the broth. On top: cold crab meat, pieces of uni, shiso leaf, scallions, and fish roe. The seafoods don't have a fishy taste. It is definitely a very unique taste that you can not find elsewhere, and if you don't know what to order, order this. Be aware that sometimes they don't have fresh uni, and you can either ask for a substitution or maybe ask to get an extra portion of crab meat. Overall: The bowls are big, the noodles have a great bite, and the toppings actually feel thoughtful instead of just thrown on. Service was quick and friendly. The ambiance was fine, pretty casual. It's not too loud. read more

Cute little udon spot with huge portions! The bowls are definitely enough for 2 portions. I got the sukiyaki udon which was very flavorful and I loved all the toppings it came with. I like how they don't skimp on the toppings either. The bowl was balanced with good amounts of soup, noodle and toppings. The noodles were a bit over cooked for me, but other than that, very good udon spot! read more

Futago Udon - Sukiyaki Udon - Japanese Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

This place was a staple for during my time in college; I never a bad experience here -- sometimes it amazes me how consistently delicious it is every time I go! Such a cute space that fills up quickly during lunch and dinner time (I've seen people start lining up right before they even open their doors). Menu is not too big, and I've been several times already but that honestly doesn't make it any easier to decide what to order when I dine here because everything is so yummy! When you do decide on what you want, the staff is quick to take your order and the food comes out pretty quickly. I definitely recommend this spot for a casual meal that is well-made, filling, and worth the price. My favorite thing might be the sukiyaki udon, it tastes rich, a perfect amount of salty to fill any savory cravings, and the onions add a hint of sweetness -- well-rounded dish overall. Also I've had a few other sukiyaki bowls in Boston and none of them have hit quite like this one. Other bowls I would recommend are their uni cream, spicy dan dan, cheese niku curry, and their beef truffle (this is another popular one among me and my friends, the aroma is show-stopping every time it's served). read more

My go-to dish is the beef truffle udon. This time, I decided to try Uber Eats, and it was just as great as dining in. The flavor is incredibly rich and savory, with the truffle giving the udon a deep, satisfying taste. The noodles are thick and perfectly cooked. The beef portions are generous, and they never skimp on quality. Even through delivery, the udon arrived perfectly cooked, and every bite was as delicious as I remembered. If you're a fan of flavorful, hearty udon, I highly recommend giving the beef truffle a chance. I honestly should try other things here, but I just like the beef truffle so much read more

This is my favorite udon place in Boston as they have a good variety of delicious hot and cold dishes on their menu. The first time I went I ordered the uni cream udon and it tasted delicious and decadent. Though it was peak dinner time, the wait wasn't too bad and I think I ended up waiting only 10-15 minutes. The second time I ordered was takeout and I got the sukiyaki udon. I will definitely be coming back in the future when I have another udon craving! read more

I stopped here for a weekend lunch with a friend and there was a little bit of a wait. The table turnover is quick though. While we waited for our table, the hostess took our orders so it did not take long for the food to come out after. I ordered the sukiyaki beef udon and it was delicious. I loved that the soup came out piping hot. Broth was flavorful and only very slightly sweet. I usually don't like the sweet udon broths but this one was well balanced. Udon was thinner than expected but very chewy. Generous portion of beef which was tender. Overall a solid bowl of udon noodle soup. Would return in the future to try the other ones! read more

TL;DR: Udon place with lots of variety of cold and hot noodles, and so good! Stopped by here for a quick bite for dinner and was very impressed. I had never had cold udon noodles before, and it was great! Interior is cute with some nice decor and plenty of seating. Service was nice, quick, and attentive. FOOD: ~Cold Uni Udon (5/5): Cold dish! I love uni and ikura, so this hit the spot. The broth/sauce was a dashi flavor. Mixed it all up and was the perfect balance of umami and salty. The coldness of the dish really ensured the integrity of the udon noodles, and they were so perfectly chewy ~Sukiyaki Udon (5/5): Hot dish! Tasted like hot pot! The beef was very tender and had a decent amount of cabbaged that was perfectly braised. I loved this dish. This is definitely a must try! read more

I think my delivery experience was better than dining in person. The packaging is top-notch, and they really take care with everything! In-person dining required quite a bit of waiting, both to be seated and for our food. I tried the sukiyaki beef udon, which came with generous portions. It was so filling that I couldn't finish it in one sitting, and unfortunately, udon doesn't reheat well, so it felt wasteful. While the flavors were rich, I found the dish a bit too sweet and salty for my taste. read more

The interior is decorated nicely and has a great ambiance. My friend and I ordered the Uni Cream Udon and Niku Curry Udon to share. Both were very flavorful! Portion size was good as well. That was enough food for us to both feel satisfied.
