We had an excellent experience here. The food was fantastic and the service was impressive. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and clearly knowledgeable about the menu, which made ordering a pleasure. They were also wonderfully kid-friendly. The kids’ meals weren’t just an afterthought—the mac and cheese, for example, was thoughtfully prepared and on par with the quality of an adult entree. The sushi and sashimi were very fresh, and the wide variety of menu options was a big plus for the family. It’s clear this restaurant puts care into every detail. We would absolutely love to come back and highly recommend it to others. A great place to spend both your time and money.

I was already a fan of Friedman’s other locations because they all prepare gluten free American fare food... so actually getting to eat gluten free Chinese and Japanese food was really exciting. It’s rare to find restaurants the serve gluten free Asian food that can accommodate people who are gluten free and understand contamination/taking extra precautions while preparing a gluten free meal. Highly recommend whether you are gf or not– this is a great restaurant!

My friend and I came here on Saturday. The food is fresh here. Plus, it’s spacious and clean. My only complaint is that the lemonade was bitter. I deserved a re-do of the lemonade when I addressed it to the waiter. Either way, great restaurant!

It was our 1st time at the restaurant! First of all let me say service was AMAZING! My daughters have food allergies and I have dietary restrictions. Eric and the chef made our experience one of the best by catering to our restrictions. Eric was very accommodating and made certain we had an enjoyable time. The food was delicious! Unfortunately didn’t take pictures of everything we ate to share! We will definitely return!! Thank you!

We’ve been to a bunch of the other Friedman’s, and this is definitely our favorite. They have merged with an American Chinese restaurant that was in the space before, and serves the standard Friedmans’ fare, plus Chinese. This is amazing because most of the Chinese food is also gluten free.

The gluten free Mac and cheese is a must have! The cheese sauce is so rich and creamy and has a broiled crispy crust on top. Amazing! The lemon ricotta pancakes are like an entree and dessert all in one. The gluten free fried chicken and waffle is simply amazing! The chicken was crispy outside and perfectly juicy inside and the crust was delicious in and of itself. The waffle was also crispy while fluffy inside and stayed that way throughout the entire meal even the part of the waffle that was under the chicken.
