    I like it! Although it is pricey, I definitely went overboard with the ordering, and you order through app scanning qr code on the table, if you like the cumin flavor this place is for you! Service was standard. Definitely coming back, I want to try the oysters

    Dishes we tried: Xinjiang Special Lamb (1 pc): Decent, but nothing memorable. Mongolian Beef: Unfortunately, it was a bit tough and hard to chew. Garlic Eggplant: Way too garlicky, my partner definitely didn't want to kiss me afterward! Chinese Lettuce: Loved the crunch, but it lacked flavor. Spicy Bullfrog: Great texture and tasted similar to chicken, but I wasn't a fan of the flavor. It was also quite oily. What I'd recommend: Lamb with Fat: Perfect if you enjoy slightly fattier cuts like I do. Pork Belly: Not bad at all, but best enjoyed while it's hot. Grilled Gizzards: Pretty chewy, but enjoyable if you like that texture. Shrimp: Probably my favorite, well-cooked and not overdone. I really liked that there's parking available, and ordering through the iPad was super convenient. All the dishes come with pictures, which makes ordering easy. I also noticed a lot of groups celebrating birthdays here, the staff pauses the regular music and plays a birthday song, which adds a fun touch to the experience.

    Great place to grab Chinese bbq and food here! Super good service, I loved the skewers, it was so fun and delicious to eat! Everything here was good, I was stuffed! I highly recommend and would come back!

    Love this place. Second time coming here and it never disappoints. This is authentic Chinese bqq and they have so many amazing skewers and dishes to choose from. We got their new menu items which was the sauerkraut hot pot with pork and it was super refreshing and delicious. Perfectly paired with the bqq skewers. They are also doing promo when you spend 88$, you get a plate of shrimp for free! The service is really fast and super nice. Great for late night eats and hanging with friends.

    Went at noon on a Saturday - plenty of parking and seating available, although it was starting to fill at around 2 p.m. Great, consistent service. Low-key chill ambiance. Delicious food, especially the Jianxin lamb special, lamb skewers, flavorful soft gizzards and fresh duck blood. My partner kept ordering because they couldn't get enough! Will definitely be bringing our friends and loved ones here again soon.

    Authentic Chinese food specializing in skewers! Reasonably priced and lots of good options. Skewers were flavorful and tasty. Service was fast and friendly! With a big parking lot for easy parking.

    I love a Chinese skewer place. It's part of a small plaza with lot parking. The restaurant itself was pretty full for a weekday evening. The interior is modern and clean. There's a tablet per table to order which is super convenient. We ended up ordering a variety of skewers, the chives, and the spicy clams. The restaurant provides a little hot plate powered by 2 little tea lights and aluminum foil. It's not supposed to cook anything, just keep food warm. I was a bit disappointed by that but oh well. The skewers themselves were still pretty delicious. I especially liked the special lamb and the lamb and beef with fat skewers. The clams were meaty and yummy too. There was one super grey clam which we obviously didn't eat. The chives were surprisingly good. I love the sauce they put on top, I wish there was more on that dish. Overall, a pretty good place. We had to ask for our rice after they seemingly forgot about it, but otherwise the service was really quick and nice. Not bussin, but a solid place when you're craving some cumin skewers for sure.

    If you like northern Chinese skewers type of food, this place is for you! We order the beef, wagyu, lamb and pork belly with enoki skewers to get a sample of everything. We found that we love the wagyu the most and probably can skip on the pork belly with enoki ones. As for other dishes, we never can past up the grilled eggplant with garlic (warning: for garlic lover), pork bone soup and fried rice. This is to help balance out your cumin and spice of all the other foods Overall great service and good food. Staff are friendly Tip: do a yelp reservation. We saw people were coming in and getting pretty packed by 6pm. Around 5pm there's still plenty of tables or sittings! Note each table comes with free Peanuts (beginning) and yogurt drink at the end!

    Skewers! We have tofu, pork belly, gizzards, beef hearts, lamb, some tofu skin wrapping vegetable thing.

    Street food Chinese Skewers! And if you didn't know, Pengyao means 'friend' in Chinese. I came here with my family and they are now my pengyao which sounds kind of like a downgrade, but hey, it's still a fun time with having some pengyaos with you at Friendship BBQ! I was impressed how busy this place was. Skewers were all pretty solid. We had the pork belly, tofu, gizzards, cow hearts, tofu skin vegetable wrap thing, and some other ones I don't recall. The gizzards were my favorite. The heating grill did not really do much to be honest. The skewers are cooked in the kitchen and brought out after placing the orders via their tablet. We also got a few vegetable sides such morning glories and grilled Chinese egg plant. There chili oil hot pot items were quite good as well. Service is quite helpful (especially if you know Mandarin) and the food came out at a reasonable time. So overall, a pretty solid experience to enjoy with your penyaos and family which are your pengyaos if you come here.

    Stopped by after ice skating in the kraken arena. We were seated immediately and the place had a nice vibe to it. It felt homey and warm. We ordered the skewer combo and the skewers were good and flavorful. The vegetable skewer had a strong numbing flavor to it and so did the egg drop soup, which is not my preferred, but some people may love it. The pancake was the fluffiest I've seen it, I do prefer crispy but my friend enjoyed the fluffiness. All the food taste kind of blended together and nothing was distinct but overall a great experience and would come again!

    Skewer meat

    Been here many times, my husband and I love this place! Staff are super nice, very helpful and checks in from time to time. Food, we usually get the skewers and they're always great! We love skewers but they are always super expensive at the events or night markets here in the northwest. Prices in this restaurant are fairly affordable. Note: we tried the 30 skewers bundle before and those were pretty small and can get dry. We prefer ordering individual types of meat, the quality for us is much better when we ordered this way. Pretty clean place, a nice spot to hang out with family or friends

    Alright this place deadass puts Chinese bbq spots in Vancouver BC to shame. The service comes faster than your barber trying to get you out after you get in 15 mins late. The assortments of meats that they have available rival that of a butcher shop from spine to tripe to heart and everything in between. All things that my mom never gave me growing up. Everything is spiced with cumin at least so don't be afraid to venture out haole bois and girls. Bulk approved and come hungry cause everything slaps!

    Food was good, we loved it. A bit pricey with certain skewers, but overall not too bad. The set up was nice and the workers were nice. I do think that when they don't have customers, for some reason it's hard to get their attention. Maybe because it's so dead that they just go stand in the back and wait for the door ding. If it was busy I'm sure they'd be out front and around more often. Skewers came out as they finished preparing it. It didn't come all at once time. The seasoning was good. It is spicy if you order the regular seasoning. If you want it not so spicy just ask for less spicy, lol. Highlight of the show were the pig brains and chicken feet. The location sucks to be honest.

We also tried the Special Prime Rib Dry Noodles, and the meat was incredibly tender--it practically fell off the bone. Everything was reasonably priced, especially compared to another noodle restaurant we had considered. The passion fruit tea was also delicious and was the perfect complement to the spicy noodles. It quenched our thirst and helped cool down the heat. We also ordered the scallion pancakes, which were good, although I wish there had been a little more scallion.

Since my last review the restaurant has closed and reopened, and expanded their menu, to now include more dumplings and varieties of noodles. They also now have a very handy duo of ordering kiosks, which you order at prior to sitting down. I found their kiosks easy to use, which isn't always a given. This being my first visit back in a while, I had to get the spicy cumin lamb biang biang noodles. However I had to try some dumplings, so we shared the lamb dumplings, while my dinner buddy had the spicy cumin lamb rice noodle soup (the same kind of noodles you'd get at a ten second yunnan noodle type of place). They also now have a complimentary side dish bar that has seaweed salad, peanuts, and kimci, as well as some condiment type things like scallions and minced garlic. I helped myself to some seaweed salad to nibble on while waiting for our food, and it was good although food comes out quickly enough that you don't necessarily have to rely on it unless you're really chomping at the bit. The spicy cumin lamb biang biang noodles are just as good as I remember. The biang biang noodles here are perfectly chewy, and the rest of the dish has a lovely flavor aside from just spice. They're generous with lamb and cabbage which add a lot of textural variety to the plate. The lamb dumplings were the sleeper hit of the meal, filled with juicy, tender hunks of lamb surrounded by toothsome clearly hand-rolled wrappers. Absolutely do not skip the lamb dumplings. My dinner buddy really enjoyed her rice noodle soup with spicy cumin lamb, which I think would be a great option on a cold day. Everything is pretty much self serve here, so don't expect full service -- although they did stop by to refill our water once. The food here is so good, though, and prices are so reasonable, that I truly do not care that the experience is pretty bare bones otherwise.

After about five minutes we decided to do the Q code and when I opened it and signed in, there was already an order placed so I ended up getting out of the booth walking up to the counter to ask about the ordering. She said she didn't clear the previous customer order and needed to delete the order that was on there so I can start one for ourselves. We got the ordering figured out they started bringing out the food. They brought the appetizers then the fried rice. We were hungry so we started eating the fried rice it was 1/2 gone when the entrees come out. They bring the items out as they are finished making them one or two at a time. They totally forgot the soup so I had to get up and ask if it was included in the Family combo. she's like oh yeah I forgot. It would have been nice if the food comes out at once or atleast 1-2 minutes after. The parking lot is small enough for about eight cars but the businesses next to it had plenty of parking so we park there and walked to the restaurant inside. Overall I give them a 4.5 because the ordering process felt a little impersonable and confusing. We didn't know what to do. I will note when we sat there waiting someone did come to take an order at a different table so I'm not sure if they just pick and choose who they want to personally ask. Idk
