THIRD TIME’S A CHARM July 30 2009
Last year when I moved out to the Brentwood area, I started asking friends for recommendations for good eats around here. A common answer was pretty much anything on Sawtelle. I was already familiar with it - Hurry Curry, gr/eats, Asahi Ramen, and this one boba place that served the best lychee milk tea. And then some of the guys from the Rhythm Natives told me about FuRaiBo. Best place for chicken wings, try their halibut, etc, etc. So I tried it.
First experience wasn’t such a good one. There was a bug crawling all over my table during lunch. But I went for the second time. That time, my yakitori chicken took a good 45 mins to prepare. By the time I got the food, my hunger had passed. Then there was the third time. And it was exactly how I originally imagined it to be (except without the halibut because that’s only served at dinner).
I haven’t recommended a good place to eat in awhile, so here it is. FuRaiBo on Sawtelle. Overlook the occasional slow service and rare bug sighting, because the food is awesome.
