Well, I'm going to give my opinion, which may be different for some.Coming to the ground fireRight at the entrance you see the name Brazilian, someone speaks Portuguese lol wowLove the miami ground fire that is in coral gabes, we imagine that the quality will always be the same or better never worse.I came in and 4 other people from my family were visiting Los Angeles.First surprise, we asked Garson for anyone who speaks Portuguese? To my surprise, no one spoke, we asked, not even Spanish, we are in the USA and people here speak English, ok, but it is a Brazilian restaurant and no one speaks Portuguese or Spanish.After a while at the table they found someone. I felt sorry because I had no experience in customer service, your experience was at the bar, but so far ok.But until then okAfter waiting 10 minutes for Garson who wasn't Garson,We got food and stayed at the table waiting for another 10 minutes until the first piece of meat passed. I started timing the time and to my surprise it took 3 to 4 minutes, which I think is absurd because no one spends 4 minutes eating a single piece of meat.Well, speaking of meat, I can't say much because the specialty of the house must be poultry and pork because I've never seen so many chicken thighs and sausages offered, 3 cuts of beef, picanha, lamb and rump, nothing else,Well now talking about qualityPicanha with garlic, just garlic, they forgot the salt, it must be that the name is picanha with garlic and not garlic with salt.Alcatra should have been called salt rump because it only had salt.Well, the only piece of lamb I've eaten is good.The key to a barbecue is getting the seasoning done on the meat, whether it's well or medium rare, the person at the table decides there's no way to add more seasoning.The buffet has a wide variety of salads, rice and beans, so if you are vegetarian it would be a good option.This is my opinion.

This review won’t have any photos because I was too focused on the incredible meal and my toddler at hand. Came here for my husband’s birthday because he loves meat. Definitely a place for meat lovers.Reservations are highly recommended. It’s easy to book online.I was worried about bringing my active 3 year old but they were super accommodating. They held our stroller for us, had a high chair, and were generous in saying our kid eats for free.There are different levels of prices. Typically for around $70 each you can enjoy fresh cuts of meat served at your table and you can visit the market table. The market table is like a salad bar but so much more. I really liked the smoked salmon, candied bacon, asparagus and cheeses.Because it was my husbands birthday we opted for their filet mignon meal that came with the market table option and sides like grilled banana. The impressive filet came out sizzling on a heated slab of Himalayan Pink salt. The effect of this hot Himalayan slab was delectable to add a rub of salt with each piece of meat.If you have room for dessert it’s so worth it! Their creme brûlée was wonderfully sweet and creamy. The lava cake comes with a rich and heavenly ice cream.There’s not a lot of street parking nearby but there are parking lots. Or if you live downtown it’s a nice walk around the area.

Went for a group dinner on a not-so busy evening on the weekend (restaurant was half empty). Overall our waiter Peter was excellent but thats about it. First off the plates were disgustingly dirty near the salad bar. Plates were visibly dirty from both the top portion and the bottom had what appeared to be beans??? Second we had the full experience with all the different selections of meats, seems all they wanted to offer us is pork sausage, like 10 times! The top grade lamb and filet mignon only came around once to our table. Seems the staff bringing the meats were visibly annoyed if we asked for another selection that wasnt pork sausage!!Not worth the $1300 spent that night, our whole party was disappointed.Stay away.

Amazing food, inspiring atmosphere, family friendly, fun, filling, and very affordable for what is offered! Wonderful!
The staff here was exceptionally professional, kind, and knowledgeableMy group shut the place down.!! There were even employees who left before we did!!! Everybody was so very kind.
It's worth a visit for a one time experience. We went for lunch, it's cheaper but the same amount of food as dinner. They bring you different meats literally every 30 seconds lol so it's worth the price. The meats are really good and the buffet bar full of sides is good too. I really love that cheese bread though omg!

This place never disappoints me. Man, I love their food and service!
Went there for my wife's birthday and it was a a "okay" experience. We made reservations for 930 on a Thursday, and the service was very slow, many of the staff were already clocking out, the service was becoming slower the longer we stayed. We waited many times for drinks to be refilled and waited a long time before meats were brought out. We are from Texas and have been to many restaurants like this and usually we get our plates loaded up and have to use the disc to keep them from coming up to us. I don't think we even had to use the green and red discs because we were waiting so long. Toward the end of the meal, I had made arrangements with the early staff prior to them leaving, about bringing out the desserts, I had to ask our new waiter, if he knew about the deserts since we were done eating. We waited a short time for the deserts, to the point it felt that they had to prepare them instead of having them ready, which is why i had set it up to be brought out, to the point i was about to ask to just have them packed to go, but they did come out. The food was okay, but felt like it was rushed, but the service was not good and inconsistant. The part that was the most interesting was how loud the kitchen was while we were finishing our meal. It was very obvious they were ready to go due to the loud bashing of trays and glass coming from the back, and coming from being a dish washer at a red lobster for a while, i get the frustration, but I do not feel like leaving a tip for a $375.15 dollar meal was right, due to the service being the way i described. and i get it, we were there close to closing but i made reservations and maybe a call and explaining to me that we were arriving very close to closing time so we could have chose to go somewhere else. I enjoy these types of restaurants and sometime even enjoy buying the over priced cigars that some offer, because i enjoy the experience. But i did not get that here. Im sure the service and food is a ton better during your prime time, but my warning to others, is do not come in close to closing, I came in at 930 when they close at 10, which was my mistake, but a solution for the restaurant, may be to not take reservations that late, even more so when the person explained it was for important occasion.

Jordan, Yasmine, and JT gave my fiance and I great service. They were very attentive and very friendly/genuine which we appreciated. First time at this Fogo de Chao, we have visted many of them around the US and this is one of the bests one we been to. We Will definitely return!
For starters, the location is really pleasant, but I felt like some of the items did not taste as good as their counterparts in Pasadena and Beverly Hills. Came in for a quick lunch yesterday. The squash soup seemed more like tomato. Salad bar was standard, though they had no prosciutto until I told a server about it.Thankfully, the meats here don't appear to be as overcooked as the other two.
