Fogo De Chao Churrascaria

Fogo de Chao is a Brazilian steakhouse that means... everything you can eat! If you are here very hungry because it costs $50/person for dinner on a weekend, plus all meats are delicious so you need quite a lot of space in your belly. When you go to the restaurant first, it reminds you of a Vegas Buffet restaurant. It's full and everyone goes around, it's pretty loud, but still has a beautiful ambience and decor. The food here is delicious! Start first with the cheese bread that are my favorites. They set 3 pages, and if you have eaten half the dish, they replace it with a new one immediately! Sometimes I think they're wasting food, but they probably try to fill their guests with carbs first, so I don't advise to eat too many of the pages. All you can eat salad bar is also great! I can just eat this and not the meat, but again do not want too full on the fresh cheese, sun dried tomatoes, roasted vegetables, etc. The Guacho cuisine, the men who serve you the meat, are very friendly and ask if you want a certain meat, and this cook will run almost on your table! All meats are delicious, juicy and simply perfectly cooked. I must say my favorite is the lamb chopper, mmmmm Besides, I must add the staff is great! You are attentive and probably ask every 5 minutes when everything is okay. When I first went there, our waiter went out and told us we shouldn't forget to get a few mints. Now this is a good service! This place is expensive, but it is worth it if you can eat a lot. Try to go for a week night when the price for dinner is lower.

I just came back from Fogo de Chao. I'm sitting here writing with an overhanging stomach. In fact, as I sit on my chair crosses with my legs, and I can feel my belly on my legs. Isn't that sexy? Let's go back while the experience is fresh on my mind, while the meat juice remains on my tongue, while my stomach still digests the fiery meat collection that floats around me. Bursche Where was I? Oh, yeah. So two days ago I reserved for 4 people for 8:00 and there was no problem. I love it when that happens. I was the first to arrive, but the epitome of the “LA girl”, I was on my phone and I was chased away when I moved into the Valet. Normally I roll my window and ask how much the Valet is and whether it's more than $2, I try my luck on street parking. But today was another story. I was distracted with my phone, so I just rolled up and pulled out of my car and took the ticket that was given to me. When I went with my phone in one ear to the empty walkway full of parking spaces, I broke out of my conversation to look back at the Valet sign. ‘SERVICE CHARGE $5.50’ $5.50 to PARK MY CAR. My Korean ajummaness crawls out and I immediately began to tx my party to tell them that they park in one of the millions of available parking spaces on the street. Once, however, we had about 3-5 guys who served us at any time. A lady came to make our picture when she saw me get my camera out. Our main waiter was probably in spy or a high-level government position cuz he knew exactly when to come to offer us what we wanted. At one point we ordered a second round of drinks to a protege and he came back only with my drink. Then I heard the master of telepathic communication aka mr. Spy tell another waiter we miss a drink. Another dood comes by with my cousin's beer. Wow. How did the guy know? I wonder if they have a microscopic chip in their ear “Table 8 lacks their heiney. Greg, did you not hear the man?!” "Sorry sir. I thought he was talking about something else.” “Greg, I'll give you Table 29 again. Jose, I want you in and out of Table 8 with her Heiney and an apology.” Then, after we were done to slip with the pounds of meat my favorites to the best too good: beef ribs, pork ribs, fillet mignon, top Sirloin, we get offered cakes from another table of one of my cousin friend was celebrating her day there. When we saw this and knew that we also celebrated two birthdays, the lady asked us why we were there when they offered us a group photo. A melted chocolate cake and a cream bread. Then the waiter says: “Now you can make THEM jealous.” He pointed to the table of my cousin who brought his own cake. The desserts had written “Happy Birthday” on the plate with fudge fruit pure not knowing, not screwing it. The bill came to $320 including taxes, tip for four people 5 drinks total. Let's not forget the $5.50 Valet for the Dorks who parked my cousins who cured my warning on the streets and already drove home when we, the Valet Park prisoners, waited for our cars 30 minutes later. Gr. Minus a star for it. Let's talk about what you're paying here: you don't just get high-quality meat and a big salad bar that I barely touched, though I loaded it all on my plate, but they have one of the best melt-in-your-mouth platanos the fried bananas that taste more than they have bruised and just take off the skin later, as it's so juicy and melty, We were bombarded with the meat. After they left, we all looked at each other.” Was that necessary?” We felt so much pressure to eat everything and the meat began to cool. My cousin shakes his head and calls us poor landlords and shows us how it is done. He flips his card back to green while the rest of us still look red. Not a second goes by before the pig brain gaucho poor guy – none of us wanted one, but he stayed back until my cousin told him only stopit shows up. My cousin tells him he wants the cattle ribs. 3 seconds later, a man with the ribs on a plate shows no metal pin for this guy. My cousin tells him he wants a slice of the fattest part and almost pulls out, it's so good. We all cave in and get a little bit. This goes on for a while, and it was so much better than a million people with all the meat posing on us. The service is perfect. We felt seriously like a royal. Was it worth $80? This is for you to decide. I'm back for a day.

Okay, after coming to Brazil many times and having dined at both locations in Sao Paulo, I had to try Fogo de Chao here. The experience was almost true to form. I will describe the differences below. If you go for Brazilian BBQ, you are for a real treat. A meat trade. The Brazilian BBQ usually consists of an all-you-can-eat buffet with salads and some hot dishes, followed by an endless parade of waiters, the meat on spits that are large enough to be used as swords. They keep at your table, offer to cut a piece what they have, and go to the next table. Right, the pace is frenetic – there is so much food that you come so fast that you are guaranteed to overeat. The only thing between you and Overeating is the “Farm” (Portuguese for Signal) a colored coaster, one side is green, one side is red. You should make it red if you want the servers to offer you more meat. I noticed that they often ignore the coast and offer you meat anyway. It doesn't work. The meat is offered by her Brazilian Portuguese name: Picanha (a rag steak, a cut quite unique for Brazilian cuisine, delicate and with a wonderful taste, in no small measure, on a layer of fat around the outside), Alcatra (a top serloin, also great), Filet Mignon (served in pieces, good, but one of my least favorites), Beef Ancho (a Fogo de Chao is different from Fogo de Chao in Brazil. While the service is good here, the service in Brazil is better. The waiters are more experienced (there is a career) and much more attentive. In Brazil they expect your wishes and do things like your drink without being asked. You have more staff per table. The food in Brazil is also somewhat tasty – assortment of fed beef simply has a different taste, such as Brazilian vegetables that are not cultivated factory as they are here. And finally in Sao Paulo Fogo de Chao is not the most expensive Brazilian barbecue in the city. Overall, Fogo de Chao is an excellent experience, and the food is delicious. Her meat is delicious and her salad bar is among the best everywhere. I recommend if you're in the area. However, if you can drive a bit, there are other Brazilian BBQs that offer similar experiences around the Los Angeles area at a lower price.

Everything you can eat brazillian bbq... wonderful buffet... I love this place. Yeah, it's expensive. But, eat your money and you'll just be good. Your potato salad is TO DIE FOR.

All you can eat Brazilian BBQ. Great service, great food. expect around 60 a person for dinner. The server there are highly trained to cook the meat just right for you.
