The various roasted meats are mostly above average, making it a tasty spot.

💭Summary:
Old Friends has been in the East District for a very long time; I visited when I was younger 🙃 and it felt like a popular home-style restaurant back then. After the renovation in 2019, the business is still thriving, with many customers queuing at the entrance for dine-in and take-out.
I visited for lunch today and waited 10 minutes to be seated. The owner generously sponsored a platter and fried items, allowing us to eat our fill of meat😍.
Since they were serving a lot of customers at once, the speed of service was not very well managed; I only received the noodles 10 minutes after the roasted meat platter arrived. It's advisable to order rice to be served at the same time.
I also suggest that larger groups order a shared platter for enjoyment; ordering a single dish can feel a bit lacking.
