FriendHouse is a chinese retaurant located on 2nd avenue and 16th street. The food was excellent, both my friend and I had the chicken with vegatables. For a Friday night it was nice to be able to get good food quickly without the usual hastle of waiting to be seated. It was quick, delicious, and not too expensive for manhattan prices. I enjoyed sitting in the back where a waterfall glazed over the glass wall in the back of the restaurant. It was intrigueing and relaxing. Neither one of us felt rushed and when we were ready to leave, the waitress was prompt. All in all I would definitly go there again and highly recommend it. Its also a great place to take a date for a sure guarentee of serenity.

paully i couldnt agree more.... i usually dont trust chinese restaurants when it comes to their meat. This place is definitley high quality food...thought it was excellent....of course i didnt get to go to the restaurant bc i ordered in.

For the 3 weeks i have been living in nyc, this place is def my favorite when it comes to chinese.
