    Stir-Fried Chicken Gizzards with Three Peppers
    Julyana T.

    This time we took our skewers to go vs eating there. Even so, the skewers are still tasty. Good size meat in each skewer and very well seasoned. The gizzard is an absolute must order. It has kicks and the gizzard is tender & chewy. Next time we will eat there.

    This has easily become one of our favorite local restaurants. We've been coming here almost once a week for the past 2 to 3 months, and it's become our go-to spot for a late-night snack or casual dinner. Since it's still fairly new, the place always feels very clean, bright, and upbeat. The color scheme and décor even remind me a bit like Food terminal--modern, spacious. The staff has always been wonderful, and the owner is a young, very sweet gentleman who often stops by to recommend what's new or popular on the menu. His suggestions have never disappointed. At this point we've tried almost everything on the menu, but our absolute favorite is the fish with sour mustard soup. It's incredible honestly the best we've had anywhere, even compared to Chinese restaurants in New York. Their beef skewers are also fantastic, and the mushroom skewers are just as good. Another must-order is the cucumber cold salad combo, which is super refreshing and a perfect balance to the richer dishes. Because they stay open late, it's the perfect spot to meet friends for a late-night bite or enjoy a relaxed family dinner. The flavors are always on point, and every dish we've tried fits our taste perfectly. Overall, we absolutely love this place and can easily see ourselves continuing to come back again and again. Highly recommended!

    New skewers joint in the ATL! I wish I had taken more photos here. The skewers were flavored nicely and cooked well, especially the beef skewers. I highly recommend coming here to try the Chinese style cooked skewers. My personal favorites are the beef ones, pork belly, chives, eggplant, and tofu ones! Service was great and lots of seating inside!

    The inside is very trendy. I went on a Wednesday at 12:30 PM, and I was surprised that no other guests were there. There were a couple of to-go orders, though. I did notice on their menu that almost everything is spicy, as denoted by one pepper. I don't like spicy, so that's why I gave it 4 stars. I wish I'd thought to get a milk tea to soothe the heat. The waiter was prompt, but also waited for me to have time to read the menu. I ordered the steamed bun and the 3 skewers of chicken with pineapple. I also wish I had thought to ask if you can get the food without the red pepper flakes that were sprinkled on everything. The waiter lit a votive candle so that I could keep the skewers warm at the table. The steamed buns tasted amazing, but all the extra red pepper flake on top detracted from the overall enjoyment. Just wish there were actual flavors for the different skewers besides red pepper flake. If you like spicy meat skewers, then this is the place for you!

    Been to Friendship BBQ 5x now. The standouts: lamb skewers are consistently juicy and flavorful, and the cucumber appetizer is DELICIOUS! Light, crispy, vinegary, and slightly spicy. Those cucumbers are the only reason I keep coming back. The fried rice is also good because of the shiitake mushrooms which make a unique flavor. The misses: the beef skewers have been tough every time, and the grilled bone marrow was oily. The grilled chicken skeleton sounded interesting but was like eating shreds of meat off a pile of brittle bones. The milk tea ice rice dessert looks interesting, but it's really not. Somewhere in between: the grilled squid tentacles are good if that's what you're looking for. The pickled cabbage braised mandarin fish fillets is more like a fish soup. It's not bad, but not too flavorful either. Overall, this place can be a solid go-to if you stick to the classics (lamb skewers, cucumbers, and fried rice). If you're in the mood to experiment, it's a hit or miss adventure.

    Like my third time here, definitely is a good place to eat when you want a quick fix. Service is fast and food is delivered relatively quick. The inside is as described before me, bbq cyberpunk!! Clean inside. Meats are cooked perfect and seasoned heavy in cumin. Drinks are okay, nothing special. Must try: spicy cucumber salad Wouldn't order again: sizzling chicken and bone marrow (wasn't quality). Dessert is meh, go to the bakery next door instead.

    So my feelings are very mixed on this place. On one hand, the meats were cooked perfectly and the portions were nice for the price and style of meal. On the other hand, the seasoning that they put on EVERYTHING, was not particularly to my liking. It was very very cumin heavy and was strong enough (even though we asked for light seasoning) to overwhelm a lot of the meats flavors, making all the meats way to one note to really enjoy. Even the pineapple was overwhelm. The only meat that had enough flavor to compete was the Mongolian Beef. There were some stand out dishes though. The cucumbers were absolutely amazing and acted as a perfect pallet cleanser for a very savory meal. The double cooked pork was perfect except for my personal dislike for one of the spices in the sauce. If you like strong, bold, spicy flavors, this might just be your spot. If you were to ask for the skewers without seasoning and get it on the side, it would be losing out on what the meal is supposed to be. I would say to definitely try out the place if this sounds good, but I would order the first round lightly and make sure you like the style before going all on a bunch of food. The staff were very friendly and were able to help us try some new foods. And even recommend the cucumbers to help with the spices. The restaurant itself was open and had a lively atmosphere that encouraged a comfortable group eating experience. I can see medium size groups coming here to have a nice lunch or dinner. I think this place is just not for me personally, but I am glad to have tried it and I may try similar places if I find them around.

    ‼串 CYBERPUNK KABOB VIBES 串‼ Friendship BBQ 友情客串 is in the newest Chinese bbq spot in Duluth. Still in soft opening. Doesn't look like much from the outside. But, once you enter, you will be transported to a futuristic Blade Runner world of neon signs and BBQ. I've been to their Orlando location a few years ago, and this Metro Atlanta location is very similar. Each table recieves a beautiful bamboo wooden grill box to keep your skewers warm. Easily order from your phone by table with photos and clear pricing. Such a fun vibe! Called 串 "chuan" in Chinese, they are various protients or veggies of your choice skewered and roasted. The best part is really the addictive seasoning --- each restaurant has their own. The base is salt, sugar, cumin, chili flakes, garlic, and if we are lucky some szechuan peppercorn powder. Love the authentic flavors here, mixed with creative new and addictive flavors that no one else has, like pineapple chicken and pinapple beef skewer. We tried: 1 Beef & Pinapple 串 2 Bacon Wrapped Enoki 串 3 Cumin Lamb 串 4 Tropical Tea 5 Milk Tea 6 Shredded Potato 7 String Beans 8 Cucumber Salad 9 Guobarou Crispy Sweet & Sour Pork Will be visiting again just for their tangsui with sticky rice.

    We came to celebrate our friends birthday/going away party, it's a casual Chinese dining spot that specializes in skewers. Parking is plenty out front. The service was quick and friendly, they offered us our own private dining room and they were very tentative to our comfort. The food was perfect, and they let us BYOB this one time so the skewers paired very nicely with a cold beer, perfect drinking food. We tried things like stinky tofu, lamb, chicken gizzard, it was all delicious.

    Friendship BBQ is a new place that is located in Pleasant Hill Square. They offer a variety of different grilled meats and spicy dishes. For my party of 2 and the food within the picture, the total was around $70. They do offer discount if paid in cash and overall I really liked the place. Food is yummy and well seasoned, the restaurant is clean and the waitress is all super attentive! 10/10

    We tried a bunch of skewers that came as single or sets of 3 from the menu. There are a lot of tables and some private rooms eith closing doors for bigger groups. We got a private room. The skewers in the sampler variety called the friendship bucket ($17.99) all came with the same seasoning, which made everything taste very similar but offered a lot of variety. I tried the lamb skewers and they were a bit chewy. The pork belly with English mushroom was pretty good but you only get one skewer per order and it was very small. The chicken and pineapple was the best one out of the bunch, but none were particularly memorable. I felt like the skewers needed different seasoning to match the profile of the meat better and maybe a side of something pickled or even some sauces to help. None of the food was hot either, mostly just warm. One skewer was 3.49 and the 3 skewer set was 6.99 for the ones we chose. Service was relatively prompt and food came out fast. Servers were nice. The server didnt know which skewers were in the friendship bucket variety sampler. Just be careful to check if its a set of a single skewer as we ended up ordering less than we thought. Gratuity was automatically added for our group of 6.

    The interior of this place was really nice and clean. We were seated at a booth quickly. The service here was friendly. The food though was really lacking. The beef was not hot and very dry. Also very small! The cabbage was way too seasoned and not good. Overall the food was okay. I like that they are open late and the ambiance is very nice but the food could definitely improve. The prices were also on the higher side for the quality of food.

    Assorted skewers. Lamb, Xinjiang lamb, Mongolian Beef, Beef
    John F.

    Friendly service and nice decor make Friendship BBQ a nice find. Decided to sample some of the skewers. We went with the regular 3 pc beef and lamb skewers, the 1 pc Mongolian beef and Xinjiang Lamb, grilled eggplant, and tofu skewer. The spice and flavor was excellent. The Mongolian beef had a nice heat to it and was really enjoyable. The tofu was also good due to the spices. The eggplant was a surprise with a sprinkle of crushed garlic and a little chili pepper for heat. It doesn't look like much but it's really dense and filling. It's a great format if you aren't completely hungry, but you have a ton of menu options if you are.

The service was quick and friendly, the restaurant was clean and beautifully decorated with warm wooden accents, and the food was delicious. We ordered eight items off the menu, and while the Scallop with Garlic Sauce ($15.98) was a bit too garlicky for my taste, we enjoyed every dish we tried. The Chicken Skin ($6.99) was perfectly crispy, the Special Lamb and Fatty Beef ($8.99 each) were juicy, the Roasted Eggplant ($5.99) had a rich smokiness, and both the Roasted Enoki Mushrooms and Grilled King Oyster Mushrooms ($5.99 each) were fresh and packed with flavor. The Pork Belly with Enoki Mushrooms ($6.98) were especially delicious! They were flavorful without being overly porky. We'll definitely be back!

My favorite dish is probably the eggplant on rice. I'm also a fan of the fried salted egg corn. The egg drop soup is kind of standard fare and so is the fried pork. Enoki mushrooms were a hit but I felt like it was a small portion. My wife was also disappointed in the stir fried udon noddles. My least favorite dish is the shrimp. The shrimp looks pretty but it's just takes too much effort to eat it. The real reason to come here are for the skewers though. The lamb and fatty beef are good. They are not the best skewers but still great. Would I come here again? Yes but only with friends. It's quite a drive but it's in a nice shopping center. My friend says Friendship BBQ is nearby and better though.

Out of all the food stalls in the food court, this one was the most popular when I went. It was pretty lively in the back corner, which is where this place is located. I thought the service was fine. The workers are there to get work done, not to perform outstanding customer service. I got the Crispy Pork on Rice! I love getting this meal at these Cantonese/Chinese places. I found the pork belly to be really tasty. There was a nice marinade over the skin and meat, plus the skin was pretty crispy even when some of the pieces got a little too moist inside the container. I thought there was a generous portion of the crispy pork in my meal. There were some mustard greens in the rice plate which added nice variation in taste. I also got a small cup of complementary soup on the side which I did not try but it did smell good. Overall, I think that my meal was pretty good. I would probably come back if I am ever inside the Great Wall Supermarket.

They first attempted to give me part of my order to dine-in, even though I mentioned to-go. The person trying to hand me the partial order attempted to blame me for not mentioning to-go, then her co-worker who took the order stepped in and said it's to go. After some back and forth between the two of them, they went ahead and gave my partial order to someone else and had that order prepped to-go. Fine and dandy. What time do you think I finally got my order? Remember, it was placed at 4:00pm. Lo and behold, they call me up at 4:56pm. Not only that, they called me up to someone else's order. I know this because I chimed in and said it's been an hour. The order taker replied that it's only been a few minutes. I presented him the receipt. He reads it and says, "Oh." Then he tells the lady to switch the bags because mine wasn't the one they tried to hand me. No apology. No, "Thank you for your patience." Nothing whatsoever besides an, "Oh." Food is good. Seating and ambiance is in a torn down, desperately in need of remodeling, Chinese grocery store. So to your oh, I say hell no. Ain't worth the disrespect and certainly my time.
