“ Sat outside in the cold winter but there's a heater. The shaken "beef" with rice was yummy. I like how they use Jasmin rice. The ube colada was delicious too! Quick service too. ”

“ True to their name the atmosphere at Friendship Kitchen is always welcoming. Even when they're super busy the staff is friendly and attentive. My favorite thing on the menu is hands down the garden rolls, always fresh and delicious. Love the tofu chay, but the chicken is also really good. The abundance bowl & the Banh Mi are also great & the portions are pretty generous. Shout out to the staff for sharing their positive vibes & tasty dishes with the community! ”

“ Anxious to try the food but unfortunately my first visit was right after a huge wine tasting event so definitely need to schedule return visit!! Love the location and all the outdoor seating!! Super sweet staff and amazing beverages with beautiful Asian aromas coming from the kitchen!! Highly recommended and I'm definitely returning for food!! ”

“ This is one of my new favorite spots in Portland. Everything on the menu is fire and they have some great healthy options as well. The impossible rolls, the abundance bowl, the pho broth, and so much more are all winners. The staff is great, ambiance and setting is a vibe, and the outdoor patio gives you the ability to eat and catch some fresh air as well. Will definitely keep returning ”

“ I asked folks in the Yelp community for suggestions of excellent women-owned restaurants in the Portland area, and Friendship Kitchen was by far one of the most popular responses! As Women's History Month comes to a close, I thought it would be fun to gather with some friends for lunch this past weekend. I'm so thankful to my Yelp friends for suggesting such a fantastic restaurant. It was raining; a gusty and blustery Saturday afternoon, and I was in the mood for a big bowl of pho. The menu is full of temptingly creative, elevated SE Asian dishes like crispy crepes, pho, laksa, lemak, etc. From the looks of the menu and photos posted online, a lot of attention to detail is placed on presentation. The food looks beautiful and lovingly prepared. Guests order at the bar inside the small interior, then have the option choose between a few barstools, or the extensive seating under a covered area in front of the restaurant. There are firepits and patio heaters to help keep folks warm during the cooler months, and plenty of picnic tables to seat a large crowd. The outdoor seating is divided between three restaurants that all share the same order inside-eat outside structure. I found it entertaining to watch food being delivered from the other two restaurants, both of which I'd like to try in the future. Between the three of us, we ordered pho, bánh mì, and bún; a classicly Vietnamese selection. Everything was served promptly, expertly plated, and tasted divine. My pho was rich and flavorful, the noodles were boiled to my liking, and all of the toppings were fresh and abundant. I tasted my friend's lemongrass chicken bánh mì and it was the best I've ever had. The meat was juicy and flavorful, and the sandwich had the perfect ratio of meat to veggies. As for the bún, it was flavorful, beautifully plated, and filling. Not to deter anyone from this great dish, but I'm not sure how it can be taken to the next level in terms of wow-factor. It needs a little something extra to make it shine alongside the other outstanding dishes at the restuarant. I really enjoyed my experience at Friendship Kitchen, and thank the folks in the Yelp community who suggested I visit. The staff are delightful here, and seem go out of their way to make guests feel welcome. Thank you for providing such a delightful experience for me and my friends. ”
