FURAIBO

Some of the best chicken I’ve had in the area. Furaibo has a unique interior that transports you to Japan, and a wonderful staff that was nice and courteous. Great for budget and quality.

Stumbled upon this place while looking for something for lunch at around 11:00. A.m. Most places weren't open as this area has a slow start. I came in here with a group of four. We had to wait till the restaurant opened. But they were nice enough to allow us to sit down with some waters.

We ordered a cutlet curry, mushrooms, kimchi fried rice. Hanpen cheese. Chicken kaarage. Teba and chita lunch combo (recommend by server). And a side order of the croquette.

The cutlet curry tasted pretty good. Better than the curry over rice down the street at curry house. (But not better than the curry udon ????). Chicken kaarage, hanpen cheese and croquette were very tasty and I'd order them again.

However, the teba and chita lunch combo , was a terrible recommendation. I think each of us took a bite out of the wing and put it down. The leg was pretty tasty though, so I'd recommend getting that if you want something savory.

Now the dish that I was most excited for was the biggest disappointment. I don't even know how they can call what they served. Kimchi fried rice because there was no kimchi flavor. There was no kimchi, it wasn't even spicy.

For enjoying half of the things we ordered here. I wouldn't be back for a second try. I'll take my business elsewhere unfortunately.

The parking lot attendent is not a friendly person couldn't stop being rude and not understanding that we here for furaibo a reason I won't go back

Unpalatable food and a strange host who made me re-park my car 3 or 4 times

This is a hidden gem on Sawtelle Blvd. the food was delicious with a friendly staff. No waiting, just walked in and sat down. I went for the yakitori beef, GYU beef with garlic and GYU teriyaki. Great for sharing in a big group.
