I visited with my boyfriend and some friends on a weekday evening. The place was completely empty other than one to two other tables. I wish I had taken photos of the food, but I forgot to do so. This place had been hyped up for weeks by our friends and just fell short. I had no real issues with the service or ordering system; in fact, it worked pretty well, I just wish the QR code also had a way to pay. However, the food just wasn't that great. The skewers had almost an offensively small amount of meat for price, and almost everything was just covered with cumin and tasted like absolutely nothing else, not even the meat itself. I tried fried dumplings and they were undercooked and flavorless. I ordered corn and it was lukewarm and covered in the same overzealous cumin. The best thing we got by far was the honey glazed beef sticks, but even that brought it to the quality of average yakiniku that we've had. The candlelit tray they had for keeping skewers warm also didn't really work. It would keep 1-2 niche spots hot and that was about it, so we were also eating room temperature meat most times. We ended up spending about $30 a person, and none of us were full by the end. Boyfriend and I stopped for more food on the way home. We were really sad to have to write a poor review for this place after having it hyped up to us. We likely won't be returning. read more

I cant believe this doesnt have higher reviews. The best food ive had in the DFW area

The meats were well seasoned and delicious. But the hot plate really did not keep the skewers warm. I think the tea light went out and no one bothered to check and replace it. The enoki mushrooms were really really yummy. Really enjoyed the squid as well. The edamame could have been better, some of them didn't look fresh. Good experience overall! read more

I've gone to a few Chinese BBQ places at DFW. My favorite is still Fat Ni. They serve real good oil chili sauce which we could get ourselves and other spices too. Suffice to say no other places, such as Friendship offers the spices and chili sauces that are bottomless. This is why this place gets lower rating. The wagyu beef skewers didn't taste any different from regular beef skewers. Felt they are the same. Every table has a small grill to keep skewers warm , this is a good extra touch. Suggestion is for the owners to provide a table for free sauces and seasonings. read more

Located in the Asia plaza, is this restaurant that's open till 2am, which is convenient for those wanting hot pot or meat skewers, later in the evening/early mornings. The meat skewers had a little tray like box with candles under it to keep it warm, which I found to be cool. The stars in the soup were a little overpowering, but the soup was still good overall. read more

It was delicious!!! I loved that the menu is on a bar code and you order everything on the site thru your phone. The interior is so cute with lots of instaworthy backgrounds. I highly recommend the skewer hot pot which had 30 skewers! The broth is perfect! Service was fast and so nice. I'm definitely coming back. Definitely check out their specialty drinks. My favorite was the dirty strawberry milk. I'm definitely coming back. read more

BBQ and milk tea are amazing. I had a little bit of many things and I truly enjoyed them. They were very flavorful and nicely cooked/made. They served the initial round of our food very fast too (we came in around 3 PM on Friday). One thing that I have to complain about is that it was quite a hassle to order food. They didn't have a paper menu, so at first, they asked me to order food via my phone, then they later offered an iPad for me to continue ordering. It'd be much easier if I got to use the iPad first. read more

Friendship BBQ had their "Grand Opening" today!! Huge flower arrangements were lined up outside the main door, it made us stop, look and go in for dinner. This new Asian BBQ restaurant offers traditional BBQ skewers. We tried all the skewers for fun, lol, lamb, Wagyu, and squid. It was easy to eat, fresh and a great idea for a 'date night' type of thing! You can order skewers or big platters of food to share. If you're vegan, they have a huge selection of veggie items like tofu, mushrooms, thinly sliced potato, corn, eggplant, and whole chile peppers. Beyond the skewers, there are seafood boils, dan dan noodles, lamb ribs, fried chicken, etc. FIVE STARS for delicious food, exceptional service, and location. read more

Always a fun date night at Friendship BBQ. We lucked out and hit them at a nice slow time on Saturday night. There is a good variety of meats, veggies and drinks to choose from. My husband recommended the strawberry milk and it was delish! The meat and veggies have a little too much spice for me but my husband adds spice. So I think it's all about how seasoned or spicy you prefer. Staff always nice and attentive. read more

This place has nice service and ambiance. I really enjoyed their food, especially the spicy tripe and duck blood. Their lamb fried rice was also very fragrant and tasty. Their skewers were also very well marinated and yummy. I haven't tried a dish that I didn't like so far, and would highly recommend this place to anyone who loves Chinese food. read more

Ordered take out. It was fast, but they tasted not good. Especially their sauce. Definitely overpriced! 去店里点的外卖（新店尝尝鲜），挺快的，等了15分钟就拿到了，服务态度也不错。但是味道是真的不咋地（荤的素的都不好吃），烤得肉太硬了，咬不动，然后不入味。烧烤料是烧烤的灵魂，他们的烧烤料味道也不好。就这个味道，感觉价格偏高了 read more

Friendship BBQ - Plano - Lol this is what you get for 3 dollars a skewer. This has to be a joke. It's microscopic pieces of burnt meat. - Barbeque Near Me - Plano, Texas

Cucumber salad was good. Chinese Sausage was good. Grill mushroom and lamb skewer were good.

Friendly fast service but the prices are a bit high, some skewers over cooked and all the skewers taste really similar. Beef noodle soup is good though read more

Amazing place with good food. We usually go to Fat Ni but this place have more options. Would totally recommend this place.

The best Chinese style bbq place I can find in Dallas area. The server is great in service. And the best thing I like is that you can karaoke here as well. Food is fresh and variety types of drinks you can find here. read more

It's probably a better bang for your buck if you go with alot of people. But if you go with just two people, the quality and amount of food isn't really worth the price. I went with a friend and we ordered a variety of foods. The best thing was the sweet and sour vegetable. The rest well....it was alright but not worth the price. This is more of a "do it yourself" type of place. Don't go in expecting five star michellen restaurant service from staff. They are there to help you if you need it and give you your food. read more

They food is great but I feel like they treat you differently from your race. The ambiance is quiet and clean they leave you alone and don't bother you. read more

Ordered lamb, beef, and other BBQ sticks. Lamb and beef are fresh, but have bad flavor and taste(it's nothing but spicy...)

It's nice and friendly Chinese style BBQ. They have delicious lamb, beef and pork skewers. The crawfish was as good as we thought read more

We tried the bbq skewers and they were either over cooked and dry or undercooked as if it was boiled and spices were thrown on. Maybe the non bbq dishes are better but if you are looking for bbq there are better options. Milk tea tastes great but 50% of the cup was just ice. read more

New little Taiwanese skewers that remind me of going to food stands on the streets! Highly recommend getting the hot pot of skewers if you're into small bites of instant spice. Don't wear white because you will spill! Also recommend getting the regular skewers like the fish tofu and the Mongolian beef. They come out warm and you don't have to worry about eating them right away because they sit on a little warmer. read more

1st time trying this place it was quite late but no excuse ordered chicken fried rice but also the 3 piece lamb skewer so the reason for 2* is no fault of the rice, which was amazing but the lamb skewer was grizzle on a stick. Almost every single piece was loaded with chewy pieces of fat. I was so dissatisfied, it was an add on as we waited for the chicken fried rice. I sifted through each skewer and was barely able to find edible pieces, I would like to try again to see if this was a one off experience and I'll change my review. I hope this gets a response from management because this should have never been served, it was a to go order, otherwise it would certainly have been sent back. read more

Highly overpriced. Food is cold and lack of flavor. Service and boba are decent though.

Awesome place the beef fried rice is delicious and noodles too some stuff are spicy if you into spicy food

For a "Friendship" BBQ, they are not very friendly. We were the ONLY Hispanics and NO ONE bother to ask if we knew the dinamic. There is no server, you place your order online. A server, sarcastically asked, "are you not hungry, you didn't order much?" Well, maybe if you would've taken your time to give us customer service and explained your menu, we would've more knowledge and done a better job at placing our order. What we order was too spicy for the kids and they asked, "is it too spicy for you?", again, sarcasm. We felt unwelcome from the time we stepped in to the time we were out. As a family, we had a horrible experience. I guess other ethnicities are not welcome here. Good luck with your experience. read more

CUMIN. Lots and lots of CUMIN. Everything has cumin, such heavy overwhelming CUMIN. I agree with the other reviews, staff was NOT friendly. We ordered veggies and they served that first, a good ten minutes before the meats. So when the meats arrived, veggies were already cold. If you like to be ignored, and love cumin, this is your place. If not, then try somewhere else read more
