Editor’s Note

Last updated 30 May 2026

Our take: BBQ Friend (BBQ 친구) consistently earns high praise for its warm hospitality and excellent food quality.

Reviewers frequently highlight the 'boneless beef short ribs' as a standout dish, described as tender, juicy, and flavourful.

Other popular items include the 'seafood pancake' and 'steamed egg', which are sometimes offered complimentary.

The restaurant is noted for its cozy, clean atmosphere, making it suitable for small groups or family meals.

While service is generally attentive, it can slow down during peak dinner hours.

We think the 'boneless beef short ribs' are a must-try, and the 'Terra beer' at $14 and 'makgeolli' (5 bottles for $120) are considered reasonably priced for a KBBQ spot.

The average spend for a group of 4-6, including drinks, appears to be in the $400-$500 range.

Overall, a highly recommended neighbourhood KBBQ spot in Serangoon, especially for those who appreciate friendly service and quality meats.

Best for groups of 4-6, and worth the walk from NEX/Serangoon MRT.
