Furaibo Izakaya - Santa Ana

Best chicken wings in OC. My family and I have been going to the Gardena location for 30+ years and happy to not have to

Love our food there every time we go (which is frequent). Fresh, hot food that is perfectly seasoned. The restaurant is clean and free from clutter. The service is nice, but you cannot be in a rush. The people who work there are friendly and accommodating. Great place... please open a Furaibo in Corona!!

Perfectly prepared consistent food. I've been visiting for over two years now and many times I felt like each visit was even better than the last. Owner chef is highly skilled. First time during covid I was surprised that he was preparing all items alone in the kitchen. Great service, easy seating for families, and in my opinion the only authentic Japanese fry restaurant in the area including Irvine.

Our favorite place for Teba! After moving in the OC we thought that we'd be going to the Gardena location more often. But lo and behold there's one in Santa Ana! We ordered our usual: Teba (mild) Soborro bowlGrilled squid House saladPork cutletEggplant with miso Grilled Saba And a variety of grilled itemsLocation and Parking:Located in a shopping center where there's a target so plenty of parking Service:The staff was very attentive and always checked in on us. Also the owner of furaibo is working here. There's other furaibo locations. We like the ambiance here much better since the tables and booths are much cleaner.

I was really excited that there was a new Izakaya restaurant in OC. It is kind of near the mall in a Target parking lot. The furniture up front makes you feel like you are in a fast food diner, but there is a wall of booths in the back that look cool and homey. The servers were awesome, but they do seem understaffed. The food was just okay, just maybe 20% off of good. The wings were of course good, but the yakitori and other dishes just needed something more. I feel they need Japanese management to come from Japan and work on the food flavor and redo the inside for a cozier feel and vibe.
