Furaibo 風来坊@Sawtelle ★

Long-Standing Cozy Japanese Restaurant since My College Time. Good food and reasonable pricing. Features Chicken Wings & Yakitori. Okra is always my favorite. Ishikari Nabe is always great with the tasty soup base, especially in the cold winter. Unagi is probably from China and had too much sauce on top. Walk-in ok. Will come back again. Sapporo pitcher $18.50 (good deal). Hot tea is complimentary. Limited free parking in rear.

Okura (Okra) $4 (1 skewer)
