   The food is great but the restaurant feels now more of a take out hub than a welcoming restaurant. No atmosphere and poor table service.

   Wow, Friendship Kitchen was an incredible experience! We loved our first time dining there and the owner was so kind to stop and spend time getting to know us & make sure our experience was top-notch. We can't wait to go back for their delicious food again soon. 10/10, highly recommend.

   The food was really, really good. The service seemed a bit scattered. Very nice wait persons, eager to help, but we had to ask for things that better service would have provided simply by observing what was needed--a plate to replace the one taken away, a knife to cut the lobster from its shell, and so on. Even so, when we asked for it, they almost always went and got what we needed right away. It is small, can be somewhat loud, and kind of a hole-in-the-wall location and ambience. But with food this good and service that is at least eager to please, I will go again and recommend it highly.

   Though the place was nearly empty, we waited for food that never came. Natch, the waiter never even placed our order. We finished our cocktails when we learned that the order had never been sent to the kitchen. We asked to settle up, but the server said we were good without paying - because he knew everything had gone so poorly.

   Food and wait staff was good. Wait staff was a bit unorganized, but friendly. Floors and tables were sticky

   We had the Singaporean dishes and they were not authentic at all. Very tasteless. Never going back here. I was very disappointed because I was really looking forward to some good food.

   Good options for vegans, but only if in the neighborhood, not special enough to go out of one’s way for.

    I was expecting more. Having been to Singapore but not Vietnam, I was hoping for more dishes and flavors. We had the shaken Beef, BBH and nasi lemak. Nasi lemak was very bland. Wing had no flavoring, anchovies were not crisp, fish balls as expected, chile sauce very mild. Shaken beef was fairly tender but flavor was so so. Didn’t leave an impression. BBH was good. Visited the NW location
