    Squid, pineapple beef, chicken skin, wagyu beef skewers
    Karen M.

    We came primarily for skewers on our first visit and had a fun experience trying the various skewers and side dishes. (Note that the skewers are prepared in the kitchen so if you are looking to cook your own skewers this is not the spot for you.) Service was friendly and efficient and we enjoyed the variety available. We over-ordered a bit as each set was reasonably priced but warning, it adds up quickly so you should order your first round, find out what you like, then order more since there is a convenient iPad for ordering anytime. We enjoyed the beef, chicken, pork belly, fried tofu and squid skewers but weren't fans of the chicken skin (but worth a try). The skewers are brought out as they are ready (very quick) and kept warm on table-side tray with tea-lights. The ambiance was pub-like but def on the casual side.

    variety of skewers, fish fillet w/ sour pickled cabbage
    Susan L.

    a solid place to get skewers! prices are pretty standard, around $2-3 per skewer. my favorite ones are the beef skewers and beef tendon skewers, the flavor is great and the meat is not too tough. the skewers do get cold somewhat fast, even though it's placed on top of mini grill (it's heated by a candle of some sort). the squid skewer was a bit tough and rubbery, not my top recommendation. the hot dishes were surprisingly delicious. the fish fillet w/ sour pickled cabbage was flavorful and tasty, and just the perfect amount of spice for me. one downside is that it is a bit oily. the crispy sweet and sour pork (guobaorou) was unexpectedly one of the best i've had in flushing. it was very crispy, with the perfect combination of sweet and sour. even after half an hr or so, it was still crispy. definitely need rice with it though! there's usually little to no wait time and the service is great, you just order your items on an ipad and they bring it to you.

    If you're looking for a late night/hangout spot to chat and tap with your friends, this is a perfect place to go. They have skewers, appetizers, and noodle/rice dishes along with alcoholic beverages.

    Huge menu--100+ items and that doesn't even include drinks. This menu for sure has everything you and your group is looking for. My favorite is the Bone Marrow with Garlic. It's a sensational burst of flavor that pairs well with literally any other item you order, if you're into mixing. The aromatic milk tea is so light and delicately delicious. Cute presentation! Every skewer is seasoned very well. I'm a big spicy fan, but I rarely reached for the chili seasoning be used it is great as is. Very open space inside as well. Great place for a quick snack or night out.

    Garlic morning glory
    Eon C.

    10/17/25 really nice and spacious, has an iPad for ordering, staff was really attentive - garlic morning glory was pretty good, hard to mess that one up - sea urchin fried rice was super flavorful and good price for uni - grilled enoki mushroom was a flavor bomb like wow - the various skewers were good, we got the pork belly, chicken, beef, all grilled; pork intestine and chicken skin were deep fried. The grilled skewers were yummy, esp the beef. It was very tender; the deep fried ones could be crispier. Chicken skin SHOULD be crispier. The intestines had a sweetness to it that wasn't my fav.

    I'm not sure if it was late at night and we were tired from the day, but this place was perfect. It was one of the only places open and was packed but still had available tables. It had rows of tables but didn't feel squished or even that close to each other. The skewers were delicious and came fast, we had kept ordering more even though we ate so much during the day already. The server was really nice and helped us out whenever we were unsure of things. We had the dessert too and it reminded my friends of the desserts they used to have at home

    I came here twice in the past two weeks, once with one of my friends and the other time with my fiancé. The service is always top notch. The staff is very friendly and everything runs really smoothly. You order your food on the tablets and then you send your order off to the kitchen within a few minutes they're bringing out your food and putting it on the warming tray so that it can keep warm as you chat and drink. I got the Mongolian beef skewers. I also got lamb and some other skewers accompanied with white rice and an apple Soju. The food was really good. The atmosphere was really nice. Everyone was friendly and this is definitely a cool place to just hang out relax and just chat or stuff your face and drink whatever the decision is it will be a fun time. I definitely will come back here.

    BBQ Skewers

    OK, so I finally decided to stop gatekeeping Friendship BBQ from other Yelpers. I dine here often, like once or twice a month type of often, and love bringing my friends and family. So much so, it's one of the first restaurants I think about when I have visitors in town. The BBQ skewers are my favorite - try everything! The cumin, garlic, spice... all that FLAVOR! Some of my favorites include garlic eggplant, chives, enoki mushrooms, grilled oyster and grilled scallop with the best garlic sauce. Get the mango pomelo sago drink, it's so good. The staff is always on it and the food always comes out super fast. A+++

    This restaurant is a fun alternative to the usual barbeque spots. You order from a QR code and you received skewered meats that stay warm on their little skewer warmers. Make sure you like cumin, though, because nearly all the meat is heavily cumin flavored! Some of our favorite foods were actually not skewers- the cauliflower was really good and so was the fried rice. One thing that's a little difficult is the English menu is not all translated - some of it is only in Chinese, and there aren't pictures for all the items on the menu. There is definitely enough on the menu though, even without going with those items.

    Friendship BBQ was super busy on a friday night, as expected but we didn't have to wait long to be seated. The service was nice and quick. The decor was minimal, nothing too special. As for the food we ordered all your classic skewers like sausage, beef, intestines etc. which were all very solid. But we really came for some of their other dishes as well. We got the square toast, the fried rice, green beans and their milk tea dessert bowl. The square toast was fine, I wish they had a bigger scoop of ice cream on there but it was good with the condensed milk but the other syrup was too sweet. The fried rice was solid as well, it's very very simple but good for when you're eating skewers. The green beans were seasoned very well and I really liked the texture of them. Lastly the milk tea dessert was refreshing! Loved the variety here and I think their beer tower is pretty cheap as well! Great place if you want variety and affordable drinks!

    Morning glory

    This place was amazing. Good food and fun atmosphere. Wish we discovered it earlier. It's located downstairs of the Liu Yi Shou hot pot place. The skewers are made to order and brought out of the kitchen already grilled so there's no smoke or BBQ on the table. There's just a rack with tea lights to keep it warm while you eat. The pricing for each meat is very reasonable and the quality is pretty good. Everything is seasoned very well and cooked thoroughly. I loved the cumin lamb and the chicken heart skewers. The wagyu beef one was good also. What surprised me was the stir fry morning glory vegetable dish. It was perfectly cooked, not salty and very fresh. Loved it! Good addition of veggies for all the protein intake. I also got a steamed Scallop with vermicelli and black bean sauce. It was a bit too salty and spicy but after eating the Scallop, I loaded the leftover sauce onto the morning glory and it added a nice savory flavor. Definitely a fun place for a date or with a group of friends.

    As a group of 5 with young children, we were seated at the corner seat which was further from the entrance and kitchen. The waiter barely showed up to check on us and we could only get serviced when waiters/waitresses walked by to service customers next to us. The stick beefs and lambs were delicious, but it took them almost 20 minutes to prepare the food. The meat were cooked just right, not too chewy for the kids at all. The spicy noodle was much spicier than expected. The restaurant was not good for big group as most tables were for 4 people. Street parking or you can park in the parking lot nearby, parking lot charges about $12 for two hours.

    Are they all spicy? Is that a option for not spicy? Skewer n hot pot, what's the price?

    I'm not 100% sure, but I think there is an option for not spicy, but you have to let them know when ordering. Sorry, I don't know the price for the skewer and hotpot option.

    Overall: Would recommend depending on the time of day. They serve you, so I would recommend coming…read moreat a time with less people since there are mixed reviews about service during peak hours, but this time their service was AWESOME (best service I've ever had at a restaurant). Everything 5/5, I would come back. Came here with my partner around 1PM on a Saturday for AYCE KBBQ at $43 per adult. Unlike other KBBQ joints, the servers cook for you here. Sorry, not as many pictures as I had hoped for because I got lost in the eating... lol. Ambience: On the outside, store was inconspicuous but on the inside there was quiet K-pop music, lighting was warm/soft, and there were not many people. Food: Sides and appetizers were unlimited. The julienne pickled radish and carrots were amazing. The GF loves cheese steamed egg but I don't eat dairy. I recommend the addicting fried rice cake. There were some dull lettuce leaves but most were vibrant appearing, everything was clean. For meats, we tried to go down the list for beef cuts but got too before we could try everything. We ordered - Thin cut brisket: My favorite cut especially to start with. Thin so it cooks fast, tender, not too fatty. Not marinated so goes well with salt and pepper. - Hanger steak: Not marinated but simple, classic, and great with salt and pepper. Some pieces were tougher than others. - Finger meat: Not a fan, maybe the tendons in the meat made it tough to chew and hard to eat with the lettuce wrap. - Soy marinated short rib: Good. Light sweet marinade that wasn't overpowering and retained the meaty flavor. - Soy marinated beef bulgogi: Decent. Would say the bulgogi definitely absorbed too much sauce and a little on the saltier side which kind of overpowered the natural flavor of the meat. Service: AMAZING, best service I've ever received at a restaurant. The server clearly took pride in his work. Recommended to us where to sit to not get splashed by oils from the grill. He anticipated all of our needs. He saw I was getting garlic out of my GF's plate and brought me a separate massive plate of garlic (I am a glutton). Gave us refills of appetizers and lettuce before we even ran out. Cooked everything for us and was attentive throughout the whole experience.

    AYCE - the quality of the meat was surprise great. Esp loved the hanger steak…read more The kimchijigae was actually really good, I ordered twice. So much better than the soybean soup. Not a lot of sides (non-bbq dishes). But the service was great as they cook for you. Matthew was great!

It was a bit drafty at the table closest to the doors, but the host was super accommodating and willing to switch our table. He also provided us with some hot tea while we waited - so considerate! We decided on the Mixed Combo B for 2, which comes with pork belly, pork shoulder, brisket, and marinated short ribs. All of the meats are really good. I'm not the biggest fan of pork shoulder, but this was good here! Kimchi stew always hits different at BBQ spots, and Golden Pig's is delicious. We ordered an extra to go! They don't have a takeout menu yet, but the staff was kind enough to pack us some kimchi and rice anyway. Banchan here is simple but done really well. All orders are put in on the tablet at each table. While the layout of the restaurant is still very much similar to Jeong Yook and Baekjeong previously, it's definitely an upgrade. Ventilatation is pretty good but be prepared to still smell a bit after. Prices are super reasonable. Parking is doable but not always the easiest. Looking forward to coming back soon!

Tables were clean and I loved how the chairs can open up and you can put your things inside. We ordered seafood pancake, japchae, combo C Wagyu beef, pork jowl meat, army stew, and fried mushroom with sweet and sour sauce. The combo came with steamed egg and your choice of Kimchi stew/soybean paste stew. I have to say everything was delicious, quality was amazing you can see the nice marbling on their meats! Sometimes when I go to a kbbq, some meats are just meh and tough to eat. But everything was so good. My favorite meat was the marinated short rib. The servers cooked for us and asked us how done we liked our meat and they constantly refilled our kimchi and side salads as well. They provided hot tea and cold water for us too which were stored in really nice carafes. Little small details in this place just elevated the experience for me. I would definitely come back! I think price was very reasonable for a kbbq place as well!
