Meanwhile, In SGV

Surprisingly hip Monterey Park newbie Tokyo Fried Chicken Co. sounds curiously promising. LAW describes the Southern-Japanese hybrid's signature fried chicken as such: "...similar to Japanese karaage chicken, flavored with soy, ginger and garlic, but is also Southern-inspired in its style of batter and fry, as well as being served with honey." There's sides like collards in dashi and miso ratatouille, with craft beer, sake, wine, and shochu cocktails to drink. Fruit pops by Isaacream, too. [LAW]
