Our family loves this place. Our kids love their chicken wings as well as their Gyozas. We usually order at least 2 of each. We (Adults)love their bento boxes. So much to each and great variety.

I’ve been coming to Furaibo for over 20 years, and it has yet to disappoint. The double teba lunch course remains the true gem — a must-order, especially since it’s not available during dinner hours. While the extra spicy wings aren’t quite as fiery as they used to be, they’re still packed with flavor and nostalgia.

We visited this restaurant at about 7:30 pm. There were no customers in the store at that time, so the waiter entertained us very warmly. The portion of dinner was more abundant than we expected, and the taste was also very good. Although we didn’t drink any wine, we were still very satisfied with the dinner. This is a Japanese-style izakaya worth visiting again.

I’ve been a loyal customer of FuRaiBo since 1995. This time, I had the chance to visit their outlet near my hotel in December 2024, as I usually go to the one on Sawtelle Street.
Unfortunately, I feel this restaurant needs improvement. When I visited at 7 PM, the place was surprisingly quiet, with only two tables occupied.
This was especially noticeable compared to the restaurant next door, like Boiling Point, which had a long line of customers waiting.
The menu feels outdated, and the taste, which I used to enjoy, now seems ordinary—nothing special to note. Health-wise, the food also felt a bit concerning. Most dishes were deep-fried or grilled.
The steak I ordered had visible burnt char marks. It seemed like the grill they used wasn’t cleaned properly, as the burnt residue clearly came from previous usage.
If asked whether I would return, my honest answer would be no. I think this outlet could benefit from refreshing its menu, improving food quality.

I’ve been coming here for many many years. With all of their locations, I think this one is the best! The ladies who serve here and have been here for many years. They’re very nice and polite. The food here is always heartwarming. Even if it’s crowded, it doesn’t take too long to get your order. Besides the chicken wings, you should try the other dishes like the fish bass and the salmon delux chazu. This is great value for money. Everyone I’ve taken here has always been surprised about the place and they always want to come back!

Our usual orders are always Teba-Saki (Chicken wings), Karei Karaage (Fried Fish), Agedashi Tofu, Tori Soboro (Grounded chicken over rice), and Korean BBQ. Very consistent in quality and flavor. Been coming here and the one on Sawtelle in W. LA since 90’s. Never disappointed.

Lovely little restaurant. The food is absolutely delicious, well priced and portions. Our Server and her “support team” was very friendly and professional. The only drawback could be the parking as there are quite a few restaurants in the strip mall so parking tends get tight, especially during peak dining hours; and I recommend making a reservation to avoid long wait times as this is a small place and they fill up fast.

Good food and service. I ordered the Jane’s course. My wife ordered the Unagi bowl. I preferred her bowl over the checked. The sides were tasty. I want to try the dinner menu as I hear there is more variety.

This was a small, quaint place tucked in a shopping center like area with other Asian eats. The food was not bad, but I couldn’t say that it was good either. Let me preface though that we make these dishes at home, and IMO are better homemade.
The chicken wings lacked…..chicken. Where did the meat go? The bento was large, but the flavor was subpar for what I had expected. Chicken katsu was crunchy, but the sauce was off (you can always tell a good place by the flavor of their katsu sauce!). Teriyaki steak was tender, but again the sauce was off. Hoise salad dressing was not as flavorful as I hoped and the sides were meh. Miso soup was comforting but lacked tofu and some flavor.
Overall, I’m glad we tried it, but I would not return.

Good food, cozy vibes. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Love the Henpen Cheese, sweet potato croquettes, and pretty much everything.
