The vibe here is all about communal dining and enjoyment. Despite its modest ambiance, rated at 5/10, the place buzzes with the energy of shared meals and laughter. What really stands out? Definitely the skewered wonders: the wagyu on a stick and the lamb on a stick are must-tries for their juicy, well-seasoned perfection. My personal favorite? Those crispy, flavorful chicken wings--they're absolutely irresistible!So, whether you're a regular or planning your first visit, let me know if you've experienced the magic of Friendship BBQ.

10/10 service. Restaurant itself is very cozy and tucked away. Food came faster than I blinked, and everything was delicious. Highlights include the eggplant and Xinjiang style lamb skewers.

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 Skewers

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!

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.

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 rice

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.

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!

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.

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.
