Friends Cafe

Im a Burmese native, have travelled and tried more than half of the Burmese restaurants in the entire US. This one ranks really low imo and so much so that Id not recommend and will not try again during the next visit. The food is really bland and if youd like to try Burmese food, try somewhere else.

FOOD: Boat noodles were best in town. I go there just to get my boat noodle fix. Appetisers are good. Only complaints are dont expect them early and samosa are filled with nothing but potatoes. ATMOSPHERE: They can get pretty busy on weekends and have only a dozen tables. They open 11am so get their before and you get a table, noon and you'll wait. Worned eating utensiles, chop sticks, cups. Bathrooms could be cleaner. SERVICE: The children staff don't come around and check up on you, refill water etc. They prefer to be on their phone. But ask and they are very quick. NOTE WORTHY: Twice I've been harrased by the homeless guarding the door outside. If bringing family and kiddos, beware because they get angry if you don't donate. Common duo is the asian guy with a tattoo on his face and his buddy who pretends to be handicapped. Be smart just give em a couple of dollars, and you'll be left to dine without the worry your tire will be slashed. Side note, pictures block all windows preventing any view of your car. So in case you gave guards the finger. CONCLUSION: All in all, hole in the wall with great food.

We ordered boat noodles, fried rice, spring rolls and chicken wings. All the appetizers came out last. The portions were good and the food was good. We really liked the fried rice and boat noodles. The boat noodles didn't have much meat but the broth was great. The service wasn't too bad only problem was that we asked for a small bowl to share with my child but they thought we wanted an extra bowl of boat noodles. So I had to finish 2 bowl by myself.

Burmese beef stew is great. The boat noodles... don't skip out on that. There is a tempura fried gourd. Get that. The Sauce is sweet, spice and tangy.

Theres to many homeless standing outside, waiting for you to give them money. Which if you dont give them money, they become aggressive. Overall the foods are great there!
