We came here for lunch. The interior was cute. The service was great and suggested some delicious items. We got
1Braised Lamb Ribs
2Garlic Eggplant
3Chives
4Passionfruit Green Tea
5Mango Slush
6Grilled Scallop
7Garlic Eggplant
8Garlic Oysters
9Pan Fried Chicken Skeleton
10 Skewers: Xingjing Special Lamb, Mongolia Beef, & Chicken
Everything was tasty in there own way, but the Braised Lamb Ribs were my favorite. They were well seasoned, crispy and fatty. You can't go wrong with the skewers. They had a dry rub on them that made it delicious. The Garlic Oysters & Grilled Scallops were fresh with a sweet, earthy, spicy taste . Garlic Eggplant & Chives were a perfect balance to our meat heavy meal. The passion fruit green tea was refreshing and sweet. what a perfect place to have a drink & Eat tasty BBQ SkewersHelpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 1Business owner information

I went here for dinner and here is why I gave it 3 stars:
The restaurant was packed when we arrived, the staffs are nice and fast. Restaurant are decorated like a street vendor in China. I like the interior and the vibes here. Laid back, this is the type of restaurant you would go, when you want to catch up with your friends, through a quick meal.
They have a QR code for u to scan and order food right on your phone. We ordered a bunch of different skewers to try and it was not good at all. They will bring the skewers out for you to grill at your table. However, the meats are too dry, the marinated neither absorbed to the meat or tasty. I haven't been back since so I don't know if the quality of the skewers are better. But I would not recommend the skewers here.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Aug 3, 2023
I came here with a friend for dinner and had an okay experience. It was a weekday, so surprisingly there were some tables filling up still closer to closing time. We were caught off guard a bit since there was one large party that was getting pretty drunk also.
The food was just okay overall. A bit pricey, and each skewer is tiny. The skewers are all brushed with the same seasoning. However, I was just not impressed by the flavors and quality of the skewers since they tasted a little bland. For a table of 2 we spent about $40 each to get full.
Points to the unique concept of Friendship BBQ since there are not really any other Chinese Skewer spots in Boston though.
What we ordered:
- Northeastern Dan Dan Noodles
- Set of 10 tofu skin skewers
- Scallion Pancake
- Lamb skewers
- Beef skewers
- Chicken skewers
- Pork Belly Skewers
- Squid Tentacle Skewers
- Bowls of riceHelpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 3983882Jan 4, 2024
I loved Friendship BBQ. This is a foodies dream. Endless meat and seafood skewers. It is hidden in the basement of a food court in Chinatown but the restaurant is pretty big and there's a lot of room for bigger parties. I loved all the food we got. The skewers had so much flavor and had great seasoning. Can't wait to come back again!

I did not expect to dine here again because I am not a big fan of cumin seasoning but my friend want to eat skewers. The food is better than last time I dine here which was few years ago. My favorite was the grilled eggplant and corn in bucket which the seasoning was just right... but not worth me to come back again unless my friend want to come.
Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1Feb 14, 2020Previous reviewOverpriced... the seafood boil for 2 is not spicy... not mala flavor just herbs. The seafood is not fresh at all... the grilled scallops and oyster is $5.99 each... kind of over grilled for the oyster and the scallop was small since they sliced it. The seafood rice noodle pot was okay but nothing special. Service is okay and kind of busy during lunch on Friday even the business is weak due to coronavirus but it is better than I thought. But I wouldn't come back again. The food doesn't worth the price.

Eating here brings back memories of hong kong street food and stands. At first I thought we cook them ourselves, but the kabobs you have to order and they will bring it out to you. The waiters were really nice and helpful at explaining what to do and how to order. The place was kind of small not a lot of room, but that's how it is in Hong Kong. My family liked it and we'll definitely come back.

We came on a rainy Saturday evening for dinner and had zero wait. It's a fun casual spot, great for some good bbq and beers. The skewers were deliciously seasoned, maybe just a little overcooked. The little heater on the table for the skewers almost wasn't needed since we devoured them as soon as they came out. We also loved the easy system of ordering food and asking for the check with our phones. super kind and friendly staff as well!
If we lived in the area, this would be a regular spot for us for sure!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jun 24, 2022
Very friendly, very good food. You go downstairs and you got this underground feeling where you can order some soju and shoot the shit with some beef sticks. I brought my non Asian friends here and they LOVED it. Flavorful meat sticks and the cold noodles were pretty good!
Again this spot is really a good place to drink a few and eat bar food.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Erin B.RI, RI34Jan 7, 2024
It was a little tricky to find the actual location. When you enter the building, you immediately go down a flight of stairs on the left. One of those moments where you wonder if maybe you're going the wrong way, but then a second later you realize you're in the right place!
The service was quick. We went for lunch. The menu is on a QR Code and you order digitally. Everything came out quickly. We ordered a few different items to share. Everything was good quality. Very happy with the meal. It's a nice place if you want to try new things, as most of the meats you order three little skewers each. Perfect place to go with a friend and try all sorts of things rather than committing to one dishHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Very nice atmosphere. Clean and comfortable restaurant. Service was amazing, our waiter was very friendly and even gave us a free Rose Milk Tea drink. Food well seasoned and the meat melted on our tongues. 10/10!
