Friendship BBQ — Restaurant in New York

I've come here 3 times and overall I'd say this place is good. . . But good is the enemy of great.

FOOD: The amount of food here is a lot. Plenty of normal and exotic meats to order from at very reasonable prices. You have your more tame meats like beef, waygu, pork belly, chicken wings. Then you have items like quail, lamb kidney, duck head, frog, and Pigeon. They have steamed dishes, eggplant, boiled beef, bone marrow, and plenty of seafood options! The taste overall is pretty good, and the quality is decent.

ATMOSPHERE: The restaurant itself is a decent size and located in the basement, giving it a really cool feeling. Overall, it was pretty clean and smelled nice. The decorations were tasteful. The tables are a little tight for sharing food, and you tend to feel on top of the person next to you.

SERVICE: Unfortunately, this is where Friendship BBQ fell short every time. The ordering system is on your phone, and you click and send in what you want. All 3 times, I placed orders on the phone, and some items never made it to the kitchen (or my bill, thankfully). Some of the items aren't in english either, which is a little annoying. The wait staff is usually pretty good, but the last 2 times we came for late night, and they weren't as welcoming. They were friendly but literally stood behind us waiting for us to leave at 130 on the dot. For a group that spent $300+ and a nice tip, I found it to be a little off-putting. In this area, there are so many restaurants like this that customer service should be paramount.

By no means would I say don't visit here, but maybe come early and be aware of the...

I asked the waiter to bring my high chair for my baby the moment that I enter the restaurant , and they didn't bring me right away. After a little while I asked them again, and they told me that some other customers ask for it and they only have one which they came after me. I told them I ask first, and they gave me excuse like I don't think you daughter can fit in. I told them I'm sure my daughter can fit in, so they finally brought it to me.

My daughter spilled some of her cookies on the floor and the waiters came and complain to me which they can just dust it with broom real quick. All the restaurants I went, this is the first restaurant that would complain to me for which a baby would do really normal. None of other restaurants had ever complain to me before for things like this, and I usually would tip them good because of this!

Finally come the best part that we asked not to put spice on the grilled whole egg because it's for my daughter and they said ok, but when the food came it was cover with lots of pepper and the grilled whole egg was the size of my finger (same length and think). It tasted like rubber bend. The $3 banana was literally grilled banana with some sesame on top of it. The grilled chicken we ordered was not even cut. The pork intestine was like all fat and soft till the point I only took one bit and never touch it again. The $16 lamb soup was soup with lamb meat that is only like a few dices in it........ The whole time me and my friend were laughing because we never see food that is so unbelievable horrible like this, so we check out and went to a dessert place...
