Came here to celebrate a family birthday event, and it was great to be around family. The vibe was nice, but I felt like service fell below what I had expected. 3.5/5 First and foremost, parking is either self parking in the garage for $8 or valet for $3. We had a family event of approximately 36-40, and 4 waiters to attend to our party. I think it would be better if they split the waiters by section- I felt it was disorganized - I had to ask for the drink menu 3x and waited 20 minutes. They also took our dessert order but then my mom and I never got ours- but the waiter said he brought everything out (there was nothing served to us), and he did eventually bring it out about 25-30 min later when we were leaving. It seems like they bring around the meat selections speedily for about 30-45 min (it's like one immediately after the other) and then it's finished- so make sure you get the selections within those first 30-45 min. But they did bring some meats back when people asked- so that was nice. The ribeye and filet were the best, I'd skip the chicken- super dry. Desserts were average to subpar. Cosmo was watered down but the espresso martini was good! I think I'll try again as just a smaller party/regular dining guest and see how that goes. Overall, felt like it was ok but room for improvement. Service was the biggest thing that overshadowed the experience. read more

Chima Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Tyson's Corner-Vienna, Virginia

We were looking for a nice Saturday lunch date and Chima didn't disappoint. We came close to opening time so it was empty, service was impeccable, and everything was tidy and neat. The salad bar was plentiful and had a good mix of toppings. We really loved the smoked Salmon and beef carpaccio. They also had hot side dishes and steak sauces available. Our favorite was scallop potatoes. In terms of meats which is the star of the show, we loved the Cajun Lamb, Cajun ribeye, salmon with cilantro sauce, and grilled pineapple with cinnamon. We underwhelmed with the beef rib because it tasted more like pot roast. All the other options were solid and truly no bad bites at all. Loved the experience and will be back! read more

We've been here and Fogo de Chão (both places more than once). Chima definitely has more options if you don't eat meat (yes, I know, it's weird to go if you don't eat meat, but I take my husband for his birthday). But each time we go, which isn't often, I feel like it gets more and more...meh. Last time we went, we got walked aaaaaall the way past every table for two and sat in the back at a table for four...okay. Kind of annoying but not a huge deal. Our waiter disappeared after a while. He didn't seem to understand that I wanted the seafood token, but finally got me one (by the way, the grilled cheese with honey is not included with this token...which is odd). There was one guy walking around who asked if we needed anything, so we asked for the salmon/shrimp/grilled pineapple to come around. He delivered! I will say the pão de queijo (cheese bread) was hard. I know how to make these, and it's not difficult. So they were either overcooked or left to sit for too long before they were brought to the table. Overall it was just okay, we had a better experience the last time we went in...I think it was 2021. But husband liked the meat, so I guess that's the point. read more

I really wanted this to be a 5-star experience. Sadly, it wasn't. The ambiance of the restaurant is nice. We had a large party (20). The service was about a 3/5. Salmon was supposed to be offered, but I never saw it. Meats were ok, but not a "wow" experience. read more

We've eaten at quite a few Brazilian Steakhouse, most of them have fixed prices for everyone. It's graduation season, we visited our friends in VA and he took us to this restaurant to celebrate their anniversary. The price here is $70 per person which is a little higher than other places that I've been. The restaurant is very nice and clean. The servers are quite attentive and pleasant. I like the salad bar with many fresh produce to choose from, we can make our own dip. There are many types of meats that served, but some are quite chewy and a few are tender which I like. The meat servers come very often, we have to turn the sign off a few times to finish what are on our plates. Once in a while on a special occasion, having Brazillian food is nice, but to me it's still over priced. The young people like our friend's sons enjoy this place tremendously, they can eat very well. Overall, it was a great dinner with friends, nice atmosphere, delicious food. read more

Office holiday party and we took up the back of the restaurant (8 tables? of 10). I helped myself to the salad bar which had many options. They were pretty good about replenishing too. The guys coming around with the meat were attentive! And paid attention to how you liked it cooked. Some beef things were good, some outstanding. I didn't try the chicken or shrimp. We had a choice of the cheesecake or the chocolate cake. Chocolate cake was good and thank god, a small piece! Wish they had something lighter like ice cream. Place was very popular mid January!! read more

Brazilian steakhouse that doesn't miss the flavor! Each cut of meat is seasoned so well. It's juicy, tender, and servers are constantly stopping by the table to offer you options. An array of meats are offered including chicken, pork, and various of beef. There are also servings of shrimp to go around as well as delightful slices of cinnamon pineapple! I enjoy how prompt and accommodating the servers are. There are also many sides at the salad bar which were pretty good. Another highlight was the elderflower and lemon martini...chef's kiss! Overall, it was fairly priced for the value and I had a great experience. I'll be back for the experience! read more

My 3rd visit here and it was NOT a charm. Celebrated my anniversary our server was nice. We got our starters: Polenta sticks not good. Puffy bread balls: hard as a rock. Brazilian mash potatoes. We got it served cold :( Dinner service starts at 4pm. They make sure all the lunch patrons clear out 1st. Which runs past 4pm. The salad bar was meh. The only good thing was butternut squash soap. Most side item seems like it came from a container. Guachos all stood around there til like 4:25 is when the 1st rounds of meat came out. The best meats IMO were Filet mignon Lamb chops Rib eye Short rib. However, the top of the line stuff... filet mignon and lamb chops really lagged throughout the course of the night. Often times we had waited for these items. The guachos (who were very nice and professional) kept asking us what we were waiting on. We said lamb and filet mignon. The chicken ( which look dry) salmon- we found out that it's farm raise ( no thanks) Shrimp and pork sausage kept coming out and grilled cheese and grilled pineapple. Our server was ok. However I dont understand why the top meats lag . This happened before at my friends celebration. For what they charge, I expected better. I get better meat and service at K bbq at a lesser price. Valet parking is available for $5 read more

Honestly didn't think the food was anything special. Went for a work event so dinner was free. Service was excellent and the staff is extremely kind & efficient! Many of the meats are on the saltier side. I did really enjoy the mocktail options. The cheese + honey and grilled pineapple were also tasty. read more

We've celebrated many life events here: engagement proposal, wedding anniversaries, many many birthdays, date nights.

I brought my son here to celebrate his graduation. We visited during the middle of the day, so the restaurant was not very busy. Unfortunately, the service was disappointing. I had a party of eight, and we often had to flag down our server for assistance. In most restaurants, the staff is attentive and regularly checks on guests, but that was not the case here. Since the food was not being served by the waitstaff, I expected drink refills and basic customer service to be more proactive. Overall, the lack of attentiveness took away from what should have been a special celebration. read more

I stopped in at Chima Steakhouse Tysons Corner after leaving AMC Tysons Corner, and when we first arrived the dining room wasn't very crowded. After 8:00 PM, though, it definitely filled up. I hadn't been to in more than 10 years, so I was excited to return--and I'm happy to say it absolutely lived up to my memory. If you're searching for a Brazilian steakhouse in Tysons Corner with a great salad bar and authentic rodizio dining, this spot really delivers. I still remembered how good their salad bar was--and it did not disappoint. What I didn't realize before is that you can order the Select Rodizio and choose just one protein (shrimp, chicken, sausage, or picanha). Our entire table chose the picanha, and it was the right choice. Right after we sat down, they brought out warm cheese rolls with a creamy spread that had a slightly salmon-style, savory flavor. It was a great way to start the meal. At the salad bar, I loaded up on fresh vegetables, rice, beans, sausage, smoked salmon, and beef carpaccio. The beef carpaccio was absolutely amazing. One of my friends grabbed the chimichurri sauce, which I ended up loving--bright, fresh, and very flavorful (I personally would have enjoyed just a touch more garlic, but it was still excellent). Our server, Karas, was excellent and very attentive, and they kept the picanha coming. It was cooked perfectly--medium rare, juicy, and with just the right amount of fat along the edges. They also brought us crispy polenta, whipped potatoes, and fried bananas. The potatoes were incredibly addictive, the polenta had a nice crisp, and while the bananas could have been a little crispier, they were still a nice sweet finish. I'll definitely be back to Chima Brazilian Steakhouse in Tysons Corner, VA--and honestly, I would even come just for the salad bar alone. I also really enjoyed the vegetable soup (I believe it was butternut squash). Overall, this was a great evening, excellent service, and a hearty, satisfying meal. If you're looking for one of the best places for picanha, rodizio, and Brazilian steakhouse dining near Tysons Corner / Vienna, VA, this is a solid choice for a weeknight dinner or special occasion. read more

Went to Chima's for my husband's birthday dinner. We've been to Fogo before, but were excited to try a new Brazilian steakhouse. I have to say, I think I prefer our dinner experience at Chima. The service was great from the start. We were initially seated in a darker area of the restaurant, which made it hard to see (especially for me because I can't really see well in dim lighting). Our waiter was able to find us a better spot, which I really appreciated. The food was also fantastic. The meats were tender and well-seasoned. My favorite was the picanha. I thougth the servers also did a great job rotating through the cuts; we never felt like we were getting the same meats over and over. The salad bar also had a wide variety of options, and the sides were good. I liked the cheese bread, polenta fries, and the grilled caramelized pineapple. It was also nice of them to give my husband a complementary birthday dessert. Highly recommend coming here if you're celebrating a special occasion! read more

We had a great experience at China and you really can't beat the flavor and quality of the food! Our favorite bites were the lamb chops, ribeye, cheese bread, and the grilled pineapple. The salad bar has a good mix of pasta salads, breads, and veggies. We were celebrating a graduation so they brought us a complimentary cheesecake, which was also good. Also, the valet is only $5 which is pretty awesome. There are a couple bumps in the ambiance and service. When we were first seated it took about 5 minutes for a waiter to come around with drink menus and explain the setup. Then on the back half of our meal we didn't get any service from the gauchos for about 10 minutes. This was Mother's Day weekend so it was crowded. Lastly, and this is a nitpick, but they call your name out for reservations like orders at McDonald's, for a place of this level you'd think they'd have a more upscale experience. Overall a great experience and we'll be back! read more

Chima Steakhouse - Fantastic Bar - Steakhouses Near Me - Tyson's Corner-Vienna, Virginia

Our second visit and we absolutely enjoyed the food and the experience at Chima. Malak is an excellent Manager. We will go again soon.

8 years ago I wrote an amazing review with a few notes to be fixed! Guess what? 8 years and quality is amazingly solid if not even better and my notes were taken care of! Yes!!! Their shrimp has gone amazing now and it's peeled with the tail on and amazing dressing/seasoning!! The service is still amazing! The best price now is on Sundays! Don't miss their limited time 2 lobster tails for $20!! And if it's your birthday don't forget to sign up online and get your $25 off coupon just don't celebrate your birthday more than twice a year! Lol ;) After trying all three chains in the area I can tell that Chima WINS!!! 1. The best meats- taste, quality and variety! 2. The best service and most friendly! 3. Complimentary valet parking wish if 1 can remember all the names of the great staff but next time 1 will do!! Thanks to: Eric Zaka Ibrahim Ayman And for everyone who made this visit a great experience for me! The salad bar is amazing, the appetizers are also amazingl! The best ever Brazilian vinaigrette! They are paying atattention to the details! I loved the lamb chops, beef ribs, top sirlion , fillet mignon , the Cajun rib eye and the shrimp, spicy jalapeño sirlion steak ** I love that the soda has free refill! Desserts are great but on my last visit I didn't have a space for it :) Try it, vote for the review , message me, or compliment me with any comment or question, and don't forget to ...

Apparently your busboys like to drop plates on ppl and then run away. And then the managers want to act like it didn't ruin the night. 100% true story btw. But I guess it looks nice and the food wasn't bad read more

Chima was always our family go to for birthdays, celebrations, etc. growing up. The last I had been here was in 2018, and it was fantastic. Now 8 years later, I find myself disappointed and likely never coming back after experiencing what this place used to be. It's obvious to me management is more keen on turning tables and making money. Chima used to be intimate and special. It was quiet, and the gauchos were hounding you to the point you HAD to turn your coin card over to get them to slow down. Now, I felt like I stepped into a conference hall, where I can't even hear the person across from me due to the hundreds of people dining at once due to overbooking tables (even with a reservation, our table was 30 mins late to sit us). Weirdly enough too, a DJ playing awful music the whole time didn't help. For a 4 $$$$ experience, why is a club DJ blaring in the background? The gauchos were also very infrequent in serving our table. I never felt like I had to turn my coin over once during service, as opposed to years past. Even when paying for the full experience, our table right next to us were served things we were never offered. The only thing keeping this review from one star is the food which is still quite good. However, for a 4 $$$$ sign establishment, I recommend dining elsewhere for that special occasion, if you really do want the occasion to feel special. The customer service is truly night and day from where it was in years past. I will not be returning. read more

If you like meat...and a wide selection you need to visit Chima. Reservations for 6:30 on a Thursday, the place had a few patrons. We were seated directly in line with the salad bar. The salad bar has a monster selection of everything salad releated plus breads, potatoes, cold pasta. I was saving my appetite for the meat. Initially the waiter comes with filet, then small sausages, chicken (I say no to chicken, I cook chicken at home), then came another huge selection of perfectly cooked meats. The picanha, cajun ribeye, flank steak and shrimp were some things that were excellent. On the table is a disc, one side says more meat (I think it's the red side) and the other says I'm good for now (I think that's the black side). The service is pretty good. They're always asking if you want a beer or glass of wine, I was driving so I have to decline. Meat selection and salad bar are great, you'll eat until you can't eat any more. Yeah it's a little pricey but it's a treat, dinner out with a friend or a good place for the second or third date with a lady. I'll be back, count on that. read more

We came to this restaurant for Father's Day to celebrate the Dad's in our lives. Boy,was I surprised at the wonderful service and the attentive staff. The restaurant is beautiful. A person in our party initially made the reservations however, the time needed to be changed to further accommodate the added guest. I was able to call to change the time of reservations without any problems although they were booked. What I loved about the restaurant was having the salmon that was on the menu the warm cheese and smoked pineapple . This is my first time being able to get these added items at a Brazilian steakhouse. Oh, the salad bar is fully stocked with so many fresh items including soups. I never heard of the this restaurant before this visit. It was great to try something totally new and different all while having such a great experience and love shown to Fathers. They had a photo prop up for picture taking for Father's Day which I had to take full advantage of. We were also given a coupon to return however, I haven't made my way back yet but, I definitely will. read more

You can say all you want about how "wonderful" the meat on a skewer is, but it isn't worth the $400 cost for four people (tip included). Grossly overrated and not the "top quality" meat that they advertise. Most of the meat was "choice" at best and not properly grilled (rushed). VERY disappointed. Will not return. FOGO de Chao was much better. read more

Chima in Tysons is a popular restaurant, and it can get crowded, especially during the weekend. Atmosphere - contemporary, open, and inviting Service - front desk staff is not as efficient as the back wait staff, while we were waiting to be seated, they were scrambling over the guest list and who has been seated and who has not, someone needs to train them better. The dining area wait staff were a different story. They were navigating the noisy and slightly chaotic tables filled with large families tables like a pro. Whenever we needed something, we could wave down any staff pass by and get what we needed, which is great. Value - pricey, about $70 per person for dinner on the weekend. Cocktails is about $20 per drink . given the quality of meats and nice selections of open salad bar items, it's worth it.... A note to small stomach people like me, this is not meant for people like us, but I will still go for the good companies. Parking - There is a nearby parking garage with 2 hr free parking, which is about a couple of minutes' walking distance. Also, limited street parking, just ensure you are not taking any of the residential parking spots. Do recommend. - By IG@WineDinenVacay read more

Seasoning was on point for everything we got. My favorite was the shrimp, lamb chops, and garlic steak I think it was called. I think they could do better on the sides though. Also, a better walkthrough of the menu would help. I didn't even know you could order fries and other things like that. I would definitely go again. read more

Beef ribs were the best cut in my opinion. So tender and juicy. The filet mignon only came in medium or well done. For the cut, it was a little dry. The ribeye was tender and so were the lamb chops. I usually hate lamb but these did not taste gamey at all. The shrimp were also super succulent and I enjoyed the garlic sirloin flavor. Also the cheese bread!! So good and I loved the spread. Delicious food although a little pricey. The Brazilian steakhouse experience is fun though. I think individual dishes at other restaurants may taste better but you won't get ther variety or experience that you would here. Recommend checking out this style of dining. Unfortunately, the service was not as attentive as it could have been. We waited at least 5-10 minutes before a server came to us which was unexpected for a high end restaurant like this. We had to grab our own plates from the salad bar and our water wasn't filled until after we already started eating. The small plates (aside from the bread) weren't served until well into our meal. Additionally, there's no free parking by the restaurant and costs $5 to valet your car. They take cash or card. read more

Chima was so good. My favorite was the lamb chops and the pineapple. That was honestly the best pineapple I've ever had. I couldn't even get a picture because the food just kept coming. There were so many different types of meat, and everything kept coming out fresh. I definitely think it was worth it with how much food they bring out at one time. read more

Ive never felt this uncomfortable at a restaurant before. Granted I came on Valentine's day and it was busy, I felt extremely uncomfortable upon us being seated, the table wasn't even ready yet. Server was greeting us while organizing other seats out of place. The table unfortunately had a draft so I was freezing the entire time. They didn't give us apps til 10 mins after we sat. The server completely forgot our chips to allow the people who deliver the meat to know if we want more or not. (The most important part of the place.) The server also asked what we liked so he can put in an order, I specifically mentioned beef. Within the first hour we were there only 2 people came with beef for us. I had also unfortunately got some drink spilled on me. I will probably never come back again over Fogo. I was however, comped for my meal while my Partner paid for his. I hope they are able to correctly train staff moving forward and solve this issue as it seems theres a pattern of service issues. read more

I loved this restaurant. Appreciate the option to include one choice of selected meats with salad bar instead of AYCE proteins. Staff were attentive. Salad bar options vast. It may get a little noisy as this appears to be a popular choice for small family gatherings, but there are corners of the restaurant where it is less noisy. In the East, this is now my fave Brazilian steakhouse. read more

It's a Yes, for Happy Hour. Hubby and I visited before a movie premiere and sat at the bar (on a Wednesday). The bartender recommended their Brazilian drink (green beverage, can't remember the name) and it was yummy! Ordered their lamb lollipops, fries, sliders, and shrimp which were all tasty. Parking is around the corner on the street if you don't want to do valet. We arrived after they opened so it didn't seem too packed. Docked a star because they no longer had something that was mentioned on their menu. read more

It was alright not bad. But service needed to be better. Just because you have a party scheduled doesn't mean you ignore the rest of the customers. Also didn't realize I was having dinner in a night club as opposed to a nice classy restaurant. Probably a one and done for me. read more

Dont go with high high expectations, but cost cutting is common practice everywhere. So, it is on par with similar food establishments, but still a disappointment! Atmosphere 5/5 Wait staff 4/5 Salad bar 3.5/5 Everything was kept appealing. The protien offerings were seafood salad, lox, and sliced processed meats. The seafood salad was just OK. No pineapple, bacon, or chimchuri. The Cesar salad consisted of lettuce, parm cheese, and croutons. I suspect the dressing was full of thickeners and fillers with minimal real ingredients. Meats 2/5 Its been about a year since our last visit. Only 2 beef servers hit our table in our 45 minutes of dinning, the teeniest tiniest lamb chops twice, really small chicken wings once, and pineapple on scewers (what?? why? not on the salad bar?). No high end meat cuts or fish. The meats were salty with dull flavor. A glass of wine was skimpy. Mixed drinks - a full glass of ice to cut down on actual volume and we suspect house alcohol was watered down. No lobster bisque soup -which my favorite staple. . read more

We came in for a business dinner. The place was pretty noisy and the service was not really that great (Maybe because we had a large party of 25) - but it's definitely not on par with other Brazilian steakhouses like Fogo.

This is a nice restaurant with a similar model to Fogo or Texas de Brazil. It has a good vibe and attentive service more so than its area competitors. Although of course it is geared toward those who enjoy meat offerings, there are ample other options available at the salad bar. Overall, it is worth visiting, particularly when they have special pricing (such as during restaurant week). read more

Decor was clean and sleek with a large bar area at front. Shame on Chima for not updating their website for alternate menus - We were given either the Full Experience for $79 (website listed $65) or Restaurant Week option for $59, both with the salad bar. Differences is the variation of meats and only cheesecake or chocolate cake for dessert. We were not overly hungry so we opted for the Restaurant Week. After placing our orders, we were given the sticker and of course we were all "ready!". We waited for 5 mins, no Gauchos came by to our table but walking around and past us. We went to the salad bar, came back and were then being served with Top Sirloin, Garlic Flank, Lamp Chops, Chicken. And then the serving stopped. I have never been to a Brazilian steakhouse where I would be waiting for food. We flagged down a Gaucho and he said his meat was not part of our meal. In hindsight, I would have asked a copy of the meat list so we know what was included. We were not asking for additional meat variety, we liked what was served, but they stopped serving to our table. We ordered a bottle of Haut-Médoc and now have no food to go with it. After asking our server, the top sirloin came back once. Grilled Pineapple came back 4 times. The two stars are for the meat that we did have which was well made (on the medium and medium well side. If you like rare will need to ask for it), and they have a decent wine list. Parking is $5 valet. Or self parking at the garage across from the restaurant for $5 (2 hours) We have a Fogo de Chao nearby so I thought to try Chima when an out of town guest visited. The Brazilian steakhouse experience has declined in recent years unfortunately, and I was hoping Chima would do a better job but it was worse. I do not recommend. read more
