The taste was not as good as it used to be, and I feel it no longer justifies the price. The flavors seemed lacking, and the overall quality has declined. I hope the restaurant can bring back the original Dongbei barbecue taste.

The fried chicken bucket I bought from the store was raw, and there was blood in every piece. I had diarrhea all night. Only the waiter apologized, but the chef did nothing. Terrible! One star!

Chicken skewers were mid. Some parts good, some parts not as much. Did not like the shrimp skewers. Beef skewers were pretty good. Beef skewers alone brings me from a 2/5 to a 4/5.

The serving team was very busy running around trying to serve the diners and takeout orders. This place satisfied a craving I didn’t even know I had. The staff were really friendly and they helped us through it all.The atmosphere is casual and the food is yummy.

The food is not very fresh and the service is poor. I won't accept you when you come at 10:20. It says that the kitchen will get off work at 10:30. Google map will get off work at 11 o'clock. Hey, guess what. People at the front desk will not give you a seat and they will not accept you. If there is no one in the lobby, they will not accept you. If you want to get off work early, guess what?

Nice place. The lamb skewers are good and the beef is alright. The skewers come with less than expected portions (2 pieces). Could be better for the price but I like the flavour.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Friendship BBQ, a gem of a restaurant that my friend from Wuhan (China) highly recommended for its authenticity and deliciousness. After trying it three times, I can confidently say it’s one of the best culinary experiences I’ve ever had.

To celebrate my friend’s birthday, we gathered an internationally diverse group of 10, all of whom were enchanted by the exotic and mouthwatering flavors. For many, it was the first time they had tasted such authentic Chinese cuisine, and the food was so good that we practically inhaled it! Every dish was a visual and sensory delight, beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The experience was unforgettable.

I also want to highlight the exceptional service we received. Shelley (I hope I’m spelling that right), was incredibly sweet, gentle, and graceful. Despite our group arriving without a reservation, she quickly and calmly made room for us, creating a peaceful and comforting ambiance that set the tone for a wonderful evening. I had the chance to speak with her briefly, and I was touched by how endearing and sweet she was—truly embodying the warmth of Chinese hospitality.

Kevin, our waiter, along with a gentleman with glasses who was busy attending to the kitchen, served us with efficiency and care. The food arrived promptly and was at the perfect temperature for all of us. Kevin was gracious and pleasant throughout the night, and a special moment occurred when my girlfriend spoke to him in Cantonese, adding an exquisite touch to our evening.

Friendship BBQ is a true culinary treasure, offering an authentic and memorable dining experience. Whether you’re familiar with Chinese cuisine or trying it for the first time, this restaurant is a must-visit. I can’t wait to return!

The special lamb and pretty much all the skewers are great. The food is delicious, the staff is super friendly and I can't get enough of it. The portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable.
