One of the best ramen in the city. Authentic Japanese ramen cooked on order to perfection. The chicken karagae is excellent and the eggplant is delicious. This is a great place if you are looking for a get away to enjoy Japanese meal in a relaxed environment and friendly Japanese chef.

Really nice place, looking forward to going back and sitting out the back on the balcony on a nice day. Meatball katsu sando is a 10/10 and a must, as was the prawn and chicken gyoza. All food was really good, service good as well. Good addition to swan st
I’ve been meaning to try @future.future , modern Japanese in Richmond. I would definitely describe the venue, music and atmosphere as very cool. The vibe they’ve created is perfect for this trendy part of Richmond. We had a fun selection of tapas to rice bowls. I was super impressed by their eggplant dishes and would have to say they were my favourite. So perfectly soft and flavours were not necessarily traditionally Japanese but 100% delicious! Great place for good vibes with friends! 💖

Future Future is so cool!
Décor, atmosphere, playlist all on point. Team was pretty friendly too.
I was impressed with the vegan options! I tried the TEMPURA ASPARAGUS, AGEDASHU TOFU and EGGPLANT DONBURI. Would highly recommend all dishes - so delicious.
Keen to go back to try more!
I’m glad they open a decent jap restaurant in this site of Richmond. First of all this place is such a good place to catch up.relax ambient , not too noisy . The food are perfect , highly was the okonomiyaki, and gyoza. Def gonna come back for more and bring different friends here.
Future Future fan right here 🙌. The group went for the Chef's menu ichi ban ($59pp) last night, which had a lovely variety of dishes and the servings were just right. The menu included a fresh cucumber starter, pumpkin agedashi tofu, raw kingfish (pictured), fried eggplant in chilli oil and dashi, fried chicken karaage (best I've had so far & I'm not a fried chicken person), meatball katsu-sando (pictured), salmon donburi and dashi green tea broth, a side of japanese greens, and a light matcha & sake tiramisu to end the night.
A bottle of the Quealy MP Pinot Grigio matched beautifully with the food. The Fuji Sour cocktail was also delicious with it's fuji apple whisky. Definitely check it out, lovely vibes for a catchup or a date. 😉

Visited Future Future for a birthday dinner! Everything was soo delish!
A great place for Sat night meal. We were seated at the bar and I enjoyed watching the chefs worked their magic. Menu is straight forward and delicious. Pumpkin agedashi and chirashi bowl were excellent. The okonomiyaki i thought was average. Drinks list is exciting. There are a numbers of alcoholic beverages from Japan that I never heard before and turned out to be really good.
One of the best restaurants in Melbourne and by far my favourite Japanese. The pumpkin agedashi tofu, karaaage, all of the raw dishes are magnificent. Staff are super friendly and the music is on point.
NICE IDEA BUT A LITTLE IS LOST IN THE FUSION
Future Future is a very pleasant restaurant in chic Richmond East. It is just a few minutes away from Richmond East train station and has tram routes in front as well.
It is a slightly curious mix of Japanese and modern fusion which doesn't quite hit the mark for either cuisine.
The restaurant has two floors - a downstairs larger area which doubles as a bar and an upstairs dining room (via a lot of stairs that people with mobility issues wouldn't be able to negotiate) that has good views over the bustling street but feels a bit disconnected and isolated.
Our group of four felt that the wait staff were a bit patchy - our table waiter was chirpy and helpful but the others whop delivered our food were very perfunctory with no explanation of the dish or even eye contact!
The dishes are fairly small volume wise so you will probably need to order more than you think.
Sittings are restricted to 90 mins for a group of two so you need to be fairly organises from arrival.
There is a an omikase menu is you are in doubt about what to order.
Cannot fault the service. My group was running late, which would have been really annoying for them but they were so accommodating. We got the 9 course set menu and they had a vegetarian specific alternative for me. Very tasty food, the best first dining experience post lockdown!
My girlfriends and I enjoyed a selection of fresh cocktails outside. The dishes felt rich and flavourful in different ways. Could taste the high quality ingredients. Coupled with a relaxed vibe. Overall an excellent dining experience.
Have dined here regularly and visited twice in last two weeks. I happily continue to give this venue 5 stars. Beautiful food and perfect drinks, but just as important, great ambience, particularly on cold Melbourne evenings. The staff are kind, friendly, informative and attentive. Overall a great place for catch ups or special occasions.
First time we've been back since feasting on their delicious meals during lockdown. Cannot recommend this place enough! The food is always exceptional, every single bite. We struggle to decide what to get so we get the omakase for a bit of everything. Wine list us great and service super friendly and warm.
Excellent service. The server was very welcoming and easy to interact with. We ordered the 9 course chefs menu. All round excellent food. The star was the sashimi and the rice and salmon broth.
Definitely coming back with a larger group.
Well done guys
Superb chefs course menu on Mothers day, all the dishes were delicous and we were all very full on leaving. Scampi nigiri and Salmon Donburi were the stand outs. Cant wait to try again and have a pretty cool little upstairs/outdoor bar too
Have been here a couple of times. The food is amazing! Service is great. We had the Ichi Ban set menu and were able to swap out the meat dishes with fish / veg no problems. Looking forward to coming back!
