"Located in the heart of Sawtelle's Japantown, with a second location in Gardena, Furaibo is a tiny izakaya with tremendous tebasaki-style chicken wings. A specialty of Nagoya, a city in central Japan, these wings are twice-fried in a savory-sweet glaze (no breading or batter) giving them a distinct crispy skin that crackles as you bite into them. These are the kind of light, airy chicken wings that you can eat a dozen of and not even blink (and we blink a lot). If you’re looking for some heat, go for the extra spicy (it’s not too intense), but otherwise, the earthy sweetness of the mild is great, too. " - nikko duren, garrett snyder, brant cox
