Friendship BBQ is a busy and popular restaurant that offers a wide range of delicious skewers and dishes. The place has a clean and welcoming atmosphere, making it a nice spot for a date night. The service is fast and friendly, with staff providing complimentary cucumber water and sometimes singing a happy birthday song for guests.
The menu features many tempting options, including the highly recommended corn, Mongolian beef, and fried rice. Most meat and seafood skewers come in multiples per order, so customers should be careful when ordering, as everything looks so good and it’s easy to spend more than planned. Every table has a box and a foiled grate heated by two votive candles underneath, which keeps the skewers warm after they are cooked. Sometimes, servers bring skewers directly to the table and place them on the grate. Popular items include beef, chicken, pork, lamb, Taiwanese sausage, squid tentacles, and fish tofu, all seasoned with a spicy cumin spice blend. Vegetable dishes are also available, such as grilled miso garlic eggplant and stir-fried pea pod leaves with garlic, which are favorites for some guests. Side dishes like spicy cucumber salad with crunchy peanuts and egg fried rice add extra flavor to the meal. The restaurant’s large menu offers over 100 items, not including drinks, and has everything a group might want. The Bone Marrow with Garlic is a standout dish, offering a burst of flavor that pairs well with other items. The aromatic milk tea is light and delicately tasty, with cute presentation. Every skewer is seasoned well, and the chili seasoning is optional for those who prefer less spice. The interior is spacious, making it a good place for a quick snack or a night out.
Many visitors note that during holidays and special occasions, the restaurant offers special treats, such as a egg yolk moon cake during the Autumn Moon Festival. Even when tired or visiting late at night, people find Friendship BBQ to be perfect, as it is one of the few places open. Despite being busy, the tables are arranged in rows but do not feel crowded. The skewers arrive quickly, encouraging guests to keep ordering even after a full day of eating. The staff is friendly and helpful, and some guests enjoy the desserts, which remind them of treats from home.
