    Looking for a new Brazilian Steakhouse, we took a friend up on his recommendation and decided to check out By Brazil in Torrance. I probably should of look at the photos of the building and sign before arrived so I know what to look for. But I didn't and after three laps around the block we finally found the place. The staff was very friendly and offered up recommendations since it was our first time visiting. The food was fresh and delicious. We were in a good coma before getting through all 14 different meat cuts. But we will be back soon, I'm no quieter lol.

    For the price I paid (just over $50!!) coming here on a weekend, there wasn't much from the meat they served that tasted overly salted. I preferred their salad bar better than the meat they had ready to carve in front of you. The only meat that I actually liked were the sausages that only came around once. The meat was just too salty for me to enjoy it, sad. For the price, I wouldn't be coming back here. It's also small inside and the table for a party of 7 made it somewhat awkward when the guy came around to slice meat.

    I made a reservation for a weekday and it was just me and my son. The food was great and the service was wonderful as they came to check on us throughout our dining. It was clean and the bar was small but had everything that was needed. It's a little too bad their operation hours are very short as a restaurant and the service of meat could have been a bit faster.

    I'm not a big fan of buffet style eating ( they had some sides, like garlic bread, olives and fixing for salad) and I'm also not big on beef, but I went with a group of friends and figured it'd be fun to try. It's rare that I go to places like this. The first couple of bites of the picanha were delicious, but after that, most of what I tried tasted either too fatty or kind of bland. There were no sauces or extra seasoning options, which made it feel pretty one-note. The grilled pineapple with cinnamon was delicious It was nice to try something different, but I think I'll stick to my chicken and fish going forward.

    More Picanha

    I'm pretty certain I have tried all of their meats available by now. As usual, everything was very good. This time I got to try some of the non-beef offerings. I got the polish sausage, Italian sausage, pork rib and chicken. All of these were also very good. Service was friendly and attentive (kept my water glass fulll). There was another staff member who constantly refilled the self service items. The grill master was on point and friendly. I also enjoyed their tuna salad and potato salad. If they had a toaster and some bread and cheese available so that I could make a tuna sandwich with a side of potato salad, that would be awesome. But I digress. Definitely will be back.

    Picanha.

    My brother had recommended By Brazil so we decided to check it out for our anniversary. They only serve lunch on weekdays and since we went on a Sunday we went for dinner, shortly after they opened at 4PM. Street parking only but because we went early we found a spot very close to the restaurant, and no time limits on Sundays either. The interior was cozy with both outdoor and indoor seating, and we opted for indoor because it was hot outside. There was only one other party when we arrived so despite only one gaucho, meats came very quickly. The restaurant filled up more as our meal progressed. There was a large variety of meats cooked in small batches, and the only meat repeated without request was picanha. Everything was very tasty, both the meats and the salad bar + hot food bar. I loved that they had beef stroganoff (although missing the crispy potato sticks topping) and plantains instead of banana. Pão de queijo was self-serve at the hot food area and good as always. I tried cashew fruit juice asy drink which was really unique! Service was friendly and dinner was ~$45/person + tax as of August 2024, not bad. The meal concluded with roasted pineapple and complimentary coffee. Overall, I was missing polenta and wished the pickled onions were more sour (or that there was vinegar available), but otherwise was content. I would definitely return for the price and variety, even if the salad bar and interior is not as fancy as the chains like Fogo de Chão.

    One person in our party has a severe shellfish allergy. None is listed outright on the menu, but not sure if any is included in what they're calling "Brazilian sides". Can anyone confirm whether shellfish was present when they dined there?

    Hello! No shellfish on any of our salads, sides, or grilled cuts.

    Do their phones work?

    Yes, our phones are working 310-782-2828

    How much is Dinner?

    As of Nov. 2024, the rate for all the salads, hot sides and grilled cuts is $44.95+tax.

    How much is the lunch buffet?

    I believe lunch was around $25 to $30 and it was totally worth it!

    Does this place do the thing where the servers come around with the food on knives and cut whatever pieces you want?

    Yes they do!

    Is this an AYCE restaurant like fogo de chao?

    Yes, it's an AYCE! For lunch, you do have the option of just the bar with salad/hot food or to do meats as well.

    Is the ayce for the meats or just for the salad bar?

    For lunch, you have the option for just salad/hot food ayce or the full Brazilian BBQ with meats (about $8 difference). For dinner, it would be for both.

    Did their patio reopen?

    Yes the patio is open. I just pigged out tonight (02/18/21)

    Are you still open for takeout? Do you charge the meat by the pound?

    Yup they are open for takeout!

    What kind of desserts do they have here? Is it in the buffet station or do they serve it to you?

    They have awesome dessert a la carte. However, if you do the amazing barbeque they have this out of the world grilled pineapples covered in brown sugar and lightly seared.… Read more

    This is probably an outlier review for this place, as I'm not a fan of of fatty cuts of meat, so…read morethe wonders of Wagyu will be forever lost on me. Still this is my favorite yakuniku place in the south bay. Why? Because the tongue kalbi is amazing! So is the kurobuta sausage! Don't miss out on these when you come here.

    It's different from other jbbq experience but I liked it! Definitely come here if you want quality…read moremeat and intestine hot pot! +located in same plaza as rolling hills nijiya so plenty of parking available +they have separate lunch and dinner hours; reservation available by call or yelp. +You can enjoy jbbq, intestine hot pot, shabu shabu, and other hot items. We ordered the following cut of meat for jbbq: premium short rib (5/5) - very tender and right amount of fat; flap meat (5/5) - this was lean but tender and delicious cut, nice to eat to balance the fatty jbbq meats; tongue kalbi (3/5) - we typically love tongue but this cut was okay, little tough and chewy even for our liking; outside skirt (3/5) - fattier cut, preferred short rib and wouldn't order this again; chef's cut tongue (4/5) - it includes a nice variety of sections from the tongue; way better than the tongue kalbi but I've had better tongue at other jbbq joints. My boyfriend and I really liked that their jbbq meats aren't marinated with sauce, most of the meats are seasoned lightly with salt and pepper and possibly light additional seasoning so you can enjoy the flavor of the meat. They serve the meat with truffle salt and wasabi and I typically don't like wasabi but their fresh wasabi complimented the meat SOOO well! Definitely will be eating their jbbq with wasabi every time going forward! +if you like intestine, you should definitely order motsunabe. We got the classic shoyu flavor, which was delicious. The hot pot is served with tons of intestine that cooked to perfection with a lot of veggies. We really liked dipping the intestine in the bbq sauce / tare, such a good combo! When you're done with majority of the hotpot, you can ask the server to add ramen to finish off the meal. The thick noodle complimented the soup really well and it was such a nice way to end the meal! +for appetizers, spicy snack nappa, which was super delicious fresh kimchi appetizer. 1000% recommend ordering this! -we also ordered karaage and mentaiko but they were forgettable so we wouldn't order that again I was impressed with the quality of some of the meat! Will definitely be back again

    What a fun and cute restaurant! I remember coming here years ago when it was Salt Creek Grille…read more This restaurant is on the casual side. It has a pretty big menu where you definitely have to enjoy BBQ food. The drinks are good and the atmosphere is a lot of fun. They have axe throwing and plenty of arcade games. This is a perfect place to bring your kids and a wonderful spot to sit at the bar, watch the game, and have a few drinks. I don't particularly love BBQ food but I did like what I ordered. My bartender and server was named Elise and she was fabulous. I asked her lots of questions about the restaurant and she was happy to answer them. I also want to add how big this space is. This is not a small restaurant and there is plenty of seating everywhere. I think it's a perfect place if you want to come with a group of people.

    4++ As the name suggests, BBQ spot with a wide selection of spirits located in the South Bay…read more This place is pretty large and the cool thing as they can accommodate large parties, but also have tables for nights out for a couple couples, etc. I believe I've been to their original location in Livermore because my parents live near that location. And each of the times I've wanted I've had a pretty good time. This visit was for a really large party for one of my good friend's birthdays. We ordered one of the large platters that more than fed all of us. The barbecue items and the sides were all pretty darn good. I didn't drink this time around because I had to drive somewhere right after but they do have a great selection of drinks. Just a really solid place if you want good barbecue in a fun atmosphere. Seemed like there's plenty of parking in the area, which is also a plus.
