Futago Udon

Futago Udon on Park Drive specializes in Japanese wheat noodles, with both hot and cold bowls on the menu. Sukiyaki udon, curry udon and spicy dan dan udon give you several directions for a hot meal. Cold niku and cold mentaiko offer a different approach when you want noodles without a steaming bowl of broth.

The choices extend to rice bowls and appetizers, including pork gyoza, takoyaki and purple sweet potato tempura. That makes it easy to order one bowl for yourself or add a few dishes to share. The restaurant sits near Boston University’s South Campus, away from the ballpark’s busiest restaurant strip. Check the separate hot, cold and signature sections when ordering; they’re more useful than assuming every udon dish will arrive as soup.
