While not the best I've ever had, I've haven't been to a bad one yet and this one is pretty good. A good number of options to choose from, I dig the overall atmosphere of the place and the food is affordable with a decent size of food along with a soda ranging around $15. I would come back here after I've sampled close to every Brazilian spot in the city.

Aroma is a delicious place with something for everybody! We loved our visit to Aroma. We got a…read moretake-out buffet lunch, and the selection was solid. The best part though easily was getting some of the fresh picanha steak. I still think about how juicy and flavorful that picanha was--honestly some of the best I ever had! I'm the type of person who likes having a lot of side dishes when eating steak, particularly vegetables, so I loved having all of the options at Aroma to balance out our meal. The staff were very nice when we visited too, and they were happy to explain some of the dishes. All in all, I highly recommend coming to Aroma!

Did I forget to mention Ramiro? Another angel with lots of meat on a stick! The buffet is AMAZE-Balls! Ceviche AND Shrimp cocktail! It's worth the price JUST for the buffet (and the can't miss cheese balls!) but do NOT miss the roasted Pineapple! Tastes like cake! So amazingly sweet and savory. Will be back for SURE!

2/13/26 - Sister's 40th Birthday Dinner at Rainhas and overall we had a great time. I've been…read morecoming here for years -- back when it was Greenfields -- and I do miss how it used to be. They had way more variety like rabbit and a bigger seafood selection. Now at $56 per adult, the buffet options feel very limited, so you mostly end up sticking to salad and the churrascaria meats. That said, the kids absolutely loved trying all the different meats and the waiters were very attentive. The restaurant itself feels cozy and welcoming. My only big complaint... the bathroom downstairs is freezing cold -- literally feels like going outside in the winter . At the end of the day the birthday girl enjoyed herself, and that's what mattered most. We also celebrated Valentines Day and that was great. Happy Valentine's Day my Yelp Family

This place was a bit disappointing; especially since I really like Brazilian food…read more This place is buffet style so there is a salad bar with different types of rice, meats and salads. There is also a meat section where they ask you what meat cut you want, rotisserie style. I got a piece of skirt steak, yellow rice, potato salad and a piece of chicken. I honestly didn't like the taste of anything I had on my plate. I thought everything lacked flavor and had a weird after taste. Since the price is measured by weight, I regretted getting so much food since I ended up throwing away most of it.

I am wondering if there's some kind of Mediocre Brazilian Buffet Convention that meets annually on…read moreRoosevelt Avenue... the main agenda? Who can deliver the most underwhelming plantains and dubious cuts of meat... that are more like a fat delivery system, than part of a main course? It's either that, or both Copacabana and Aroma must have signed a non-compete agreement with their underwhelming offerings. I also get the impression they are trying to broaden their appeal to non-Brazilians. But in their attempt to cater to the broader Latin American palate, they've diluted the vibrancy that Brazilian cuisine is known for. It's like they took a samba dance and turned it into a slow ranchera - it just doesn't have the same energy. Sure, it's a dance, but where's the rhythm, the spirit, the flavor?

I always had a desideratum to dine at Fogo. I always wondered what a dining experience would be…read more Forward. Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse is considered an upscale complete with table linens, celebratory atmosphere, and "all-you-can-eat" venue, typically with a bustling, energetic Southern Brazilian cuisine, serving churrasco barbecue style meats and traditional side dishes. This location is in Elmhurst, Queens, NYC and adjacent to Queens Center Mall where patrons can shop and subsequently conclude the day with a wonderful meal. Party of two for "All For One Price" continuous, fire-roasted cuts brought to your table, endless sides, and seasonal specialties from the Market Table - all for one price. The "Market Table" is a open buffet which includes fruits, vegetables, and seafood. This Market Table is very large. Food is very fresh and abundant readiness. I made the mistake to ruin my appetite with crackers mere hour before sitting at our table. Fire roasted meat distribution to table and carved with patrons catching a piece using a tong. Fogo is a meat lover's paradise for a heavy steak meal. The bottom sirloin or bacon wrapped steak, is noted by Yelpers, always dry. The parmesan crusted pork is flavorful and surprisingly juicy. I highly enjoyed the salmon and Caesar salad. The Green Card system is a signaling device used in traditional Brazilian service, known as Churrasco which allows patrons to control the pace of a meal of the "all-you-can-eat" buffet experience. Green Side (Go): When you place the card with the green side facing up, it signals the Gaucho chefs that you want to continue receiving service. Continuous Service: Chefs will frequently visit your table to carve various fire-roasted meats directly onto your plate, including signature cuts like Picanha (top sirloin), Filet Mignon, Ribeye, and lamb chops. Red Side (Stop): When you need a break or are finished, you turn the card to the red side to signal the chefs to stop. Rosé, Montes "Cherub" Colchagua Valley, Chile Dry, seductive, and elegant, it is a very smooth good finish. This wine may me float. I always have a predilection for wine. Caipirinha, Brazil's national cocktail This drink is made with cachaça (a sugar cane), hard liquor, sugar and lime with ice. It's refreshing for my friend. Chocolate Molten cake with vanilla ice cream One word: WOW! Customer service is very attentive and polite with kindness in a celebratory positive mood. Our party of two were inquired if we needed anything during mid-dinning experience and my friend requested Brazilian grilled cheese, espetinhos de queijo with honey. Pão de queijo, Brazilian cheese puff bread is served. High ceilings and there is a large relief statue of Antônio Caringi, Brazilian sculptor (1905-1981). Business cards and mints are abundantly available for grabs. I strongly suggest table reservations in advance, particularly for weekends and holidays as this large dining hall was bewilderingly very quickly filled as we dined on extreme artic cold February, Saturday. Every day can be one's birthday celebration. I think being alive with another tomorrow is a reason to be celebratory. I would surely return for another visit - enter empty stomach.

Our waiter was nowhere to be found most of the night -- even when it was time to pay the bill. Staff barely came around, and we constantly had to get up and flag someone down just to get attention. If you want a real rodizio experience, go somewhere else. The food wasn't enough to make up for how disorganized and inattentive the service was. Definitely not worth the time or money. Never again.

I'm not even gonna complain about pricing in certain restaurants because it pretty much normal now. I settled on some roast beef, seafood fried rice and some veggies for the pallette. The food was heavenly, especially that cut of beef, it should be a sin for it to taste that good. The seafood fried rice was also enjoyable as well. Probably could've went with some plantains food but by how much my plate was already, I decided to forgo it for next time. The food wasn't the only good thing here, quite a good number of divine ladies on this hot Summer day was a treat for the eyes as well. Very much captured the Brazilian essence of the joint. LOL Anyway, next time I come here, I'll give their fish fillet a try. The breading looked superb on that.

We were extremely pleased with the service provided, which was exemplary throughout our visit…read more Furthermore, the culinary offerings represented exceptional value, as the quality and portion sizes far exceeded the price point; indeed, the meal was so substantial that we departed with a significant quantity of leftovers. The open windows are a great touch--they give you a perfect view of the area and make the whole place feel bright and airy.

I dined here the evening of 3/28/26 with another Yelp Elite…read more We ordered the Rotisserie Chicken Breast, the Lomo Salteado with Yucca Fries, the Arroz Chaufa with Chicken and Shrimp, and two Pisco Sours (a Peruvian cocktail). The food and cocktail were not commensurate with the prices. The Rotisserie Chicken was moist and tasty, and the portion was huge, but the green sauce was too spicy for me. The chicken stood well on its own. The filet mignon in the Lomo Salteado was not seasoned. It was so bland that not even the extra salt that I added could fix the taste, but the Yucca Fries were outstanding--especially when dipped in some green sauce. The Arroz Chaufa with Shrimp also let me down. It tasted like slightly rancid oil was used to make it. The shrimp did not taste fresh caught, either, and the chicken was pitifully dry. The Pisco Sour left a lot to be desired although the foam on top was decorated nicely! The place is large and well decorated with Peruvian masks on the wall. The waiter provided good service, and the owner was walking around the floor, managing the place, but I AM ONE AND DONE! I will not be back!

Finding this place was challenging. It's not on the main boulevard but a few yards from the corner…read moreso you'll need GPS assistance to get to it with no issue. It's also a bit on the small side but I'm guessing it's tailor-made for outside dining so it has that aesthetic going for it. The woman behind the register taking orders was very courteous and very patient with me because this is the first Brazilian spot I went to that isn't a dedicated buffet. I ordered some food that came up to almost $30 and it sure did come up with a lot of food. Even the Empanadas were larger than usual so I guess you certainly get what you paid for. No complaints about the food whatsoever. The Grilled chicken I had was surprisingly juicy and tender. It even came with fries and a side salad, which caught me off guard because the menu didn't specify what sides it came with so I thought it was just the meat which prompted me to order some rice and beans on the side so I basically had an entree with 3 sides and 2 Empanadas. Despite the heavy amount of food I unwittingly ordered, all of it was great and it didn't feel like a chore eating it all. The service woman cleaned my table after I was done, asked how I liked my meal and even requested a dessert. I always give credit to service going an extra mile so this place definitely deserves a solid 5.

They offered a "valentine's dinner for two" menu for $150 which was a great deal, but we opted to order off of the menu. We both enjoyed the calamari and variety croquettes as appetizers. We got the Churrasco #2 which came with a ton of meats, all cooked perfectly. The sausage was my favorite- SO flavorful. We'll have leftovers for days. We enjoyed the rice and black beans as well.
