Friend's BBQ Restaurant - Burnaby

A generic Chinese restaurant at the first glance, Friends offer a range of Cantonese cuisine.

We have not been in this restaurant since owner change long time agoWe never give it a try until today when we're invited by friends for dinner.

Another Chinese restaurant in the neighbourhood was our go to place for an early dinner yesterday.

Impressed by the quality and generosity of a very good Cantonese chef. Complimentary dinner soup prior to meal....A well executed Singapore noodle dish...good friendly service and clean tidy surrounds, easy parking out front...recommended
