Cool spot but disappointed in the quality of the food. Ordered the salt and pepper shrimp which were not the freshest for $17 and they did not even devein the shrimp. Large prawns have thick, gritty and bitter intestinal tracts which you'd think they'd remove especially for charging that much. I was excited to eat the whole shrimp for extra shrimp flavor but could not even make it half way as all I could taste was the bitter grit of the intestinal tract. Disappointing. Bahn mi was nothing to write home about.

The BBH soup is truly the best in town but the service is unwelcoming near closing time. You should consider changing your hours to say you close at 8 or 8:30.We arrived at 8:10 (they close at 9) and was told since its after 8, its only to go orders. We actually rushed to get here seeing that they turned people away once after 8:30 (they didnt allow for takeout that time even).Its bizarre to say youre opened until 9 if you dont serve guests until at least 8:40.

Nice staff. Vegan chicken wings and the egg roll wrapped inside a salad roll is what I recommend. They also do a fantastic pho.

Love the food and atmosphere at this wonderful restaurant. They really put the “Friendship” in “Friendship Kitchen”.They are also a woman owned company. If you are visiting Portland and curious where to eat, put FK on your list.
Honestly, I would wait hours for this food. I’ve been given free food for toddler while we’ve waited and so much care.If you’re looking for amazing vegan options, this is the spot, and if you’re meat lover like me- just know everyone has amazing options.We love you, Friendship Kitchen.

Everything is exceptional. You can find pho, summer rolls, etc., all over town, but the flavors don’t compare to the versions feom friendship kitchen. A meal here is a flavor-packed luxury!

We tried the mamas laksa and it was just lacking any depth in flavor just tasted like sweetened coconut milk. Everything overall was pretty bland. Don’t believe the hype.

Great food, friendly vibe. Owners very welcoming and bubbly.Service is at times disorganized and slow. Party of 4, one of our mains came out 40 minutes after everyone else’s.
