If you’re brave, they also serve chicken feet and tripe!!! > View this post on Instagram > > > > > > [A post shared by CLT.Remedy || Kriska & Manny (@clt.remedy)](https://www.instagram.com/p/B1SZqYEJDWR/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading) on Aug 17, 2019 at 6:50pm PDT **Wan Fu Quality Chinese Cuisine** **10719 Kettering Dr, Charlotte, NC 28226** This Chinese food spot has been around for 30 year. Not very many places in CLT can say that!

And of course, when we ramen … it’s FUTO BUTA ramen! Honestly, we also can very easily sway each other to just go when it’s sunny because it truly is one of our most favorite restaurants in town! We love Chef Shortino and his crew … and his Buta Bowl … and his Hot Ringo … and his Rice Krispies … and all of his fresh sheet items … and basically **EVERYTHING**! > View this post on Instagram > > > > > > [A post shared by CLT.Remedy || Kriska & Manny (@clt.remedy)](https://www.instagram.com/p/B6rPiyxpRT5/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading) on Dec 29, 2019 at 4:00pm PST ### Now, Get Out There and Use those Chopsticks!
