    Front of restaurant.

    They were other locations for Asian food in the area but they were delivery and take out only. As we walk to the front door we saw a sign that said we are clean. That was enough for me to eat at this location. We were immediately greed it at the door by young man well I learned later was named David. David walked us to our table gave us two plastic cooking gloves and asked what we would like to drink. The Buffet had plenty of food but not a large variety that I would've like to see. But they continue to bring out hot food, and David continue to clean around the Buffay table. He was very careful to bring everyone into the facility and sent them separately. However there was one couple with two children that entered and did not have a mask, and there was one Lady of that group that went to the Buffay table without her glove. I would've like to see that be in forced. Besides that small unclean family not coming to common decency about stairs and state mandates about mask, the food was delicious there was an equal amount of meats, salads and fruit and desserts. But I would've liked to have seen more vegetables on the Buffet. Can't beat the service though, our server was very kind and you could see (figuratively) the smile through her mask. She was very hospitable and courteous and concerned about our visit. I just didn't want to ruin the mood mentioning that family without the mask, because we were finishing our dinner. But I won't let that little incident stop me from coming back to this wonderful establishment with this great service and delicious food. Thank you for being open during this temporary season in America and the world. I will be back!

    Pretty good, even at 2:30 in the afternoon. There were fresh items being brought out to restock the steam tables. The usual staples of such things - beef and brocoli, battered chicken in a lemon sauce, lo mein noodles, fried rice and the like. As well, one bar dedicated to fried stuff, including french fries, onion rings, crab rangoon and spring rolls. I skipped that one. Dessert bar had some fruit and cake that looked like it wasn't worth the effort, but they have to try, right? Full meal, $6.99. $3 tip because the gal kept my water glass filled and cleared dirty plates quickly. I thought it was pretty good. Better than most. I was especially pleased that it was this good between the lunch and dinner crowds.

    This place has big selection of food to pick from and the price is worth it. To top it off the cashier was definitely helpful.

Our server started pushing us to pay while we were still eating. I politely asked if I could pay at the front like I normally do, but she didn't speak English and became very pushy and rude. They began removing dishes from the table before closing time and before giving any kind of last call. I asked to speak with the manager, but when he arrived he also did not speak English, so there was no real way to properly explain the situation. At 9:01 pm we were basically told to leave. I completely understand restaurants have closing times, but there is a respectful way to handle it, usually by giving customers a heads-up and allowing them time to finish their meal instead of rushing them out the door. As someone who worked in restaurants when I was younger, I know that basic communication and courtesy are essential. What also felt uncomfortable was the atmosphere among the staff. The employees seemed extremely nervous and afraid to speak or explain anything, which made the whole situation feel strange and unsettling. It honestly gave the impression that they were scared to say the wrong thing or do anything outside of strict instructions, which was sad to witness. Overall, the food might be fine, but the service and the way the situation was handled made it a very disappointing experience.

I expressed to be seated somewhere else and she seemed to have taken offense to me asking. As she was showing us to our seats she was walking through the restaurant so fast mind you guys, it was our first time there. Waiters walked by us several times before asking if we needed anything. It wasn't a good impression of the restaurant. We will not be returning. People shouldn't work in customer service industries thats face to face services if you're not a people person. This is all based off of my observation of the overall experience. We wanted to try something different outside of the buffet spot we normally go to and thought this would be a good experience but unfortunately it wasn't. The restaurant wasn't as big on the inside with the aisle being too narrow to walk in between without getting too close to the tables or having to stop midway to allow others to walk past. When your used to a certain level of customer service from other places, you can instantly spot the differences in the service levels. Not to sound mean which isn't my intent at all, but for those who go here on a regular and you enjoy the food dont stop if your pleased with the service. Continue to support them however, as for me and my family we didnt have a good experience and the first impression of the service was not a good one. I have always given credit where credit is due and this isnt to say that everyone there had poor customer service because that wasn't the case at all. I'm only referring to those who were servicing us. I actually had a very nice waiter who wasn't assigned to our table to come over and see about us because he noticed no one had been to our tables to ask if we needed anything. The food was ok. Our experience may not be someone else's. When we went it was very busy so it could have just been due to the crowd but at any rate when you're in a customer service industry its always best to put your best foot forward. The only reason im giving a 3 star is because of the waiter who was so kind and provided great customer service.

They even still have the 120 year old pews! If you ask your server, you are likely to hear the entire story of the place. It's pretty amazing. They recently received a Michelin recommendation and it's totally deserved. It's a buffet, but most of the hot food is actually served by a person which is something that I particularly appreciate. (I really don't like touching the handles of spoons that hundreds of people have touched.) Some of the stuff is self serve but not any of the hot dishes. Absolutely everything I tried was outstanding. Like everything. There are a few things that they consider "pass around" which means that they are brought over to you by a server at random intervals. For everything else, you just help yourself. I went with a friend of mine who has a deep appreciation for a southern food. He was absolutely amazed. Honestly, I can't think of a better place to have chosen to eat in a short time I had in Charlotte. I've attached a picture of the menu. I tried just about everything. I wasn't disappointed in a single thing, and I was completely wowed by many of them. The servers were wonderful. Very friendly and very willing to talk to us about the history and the food items that were there. Highest recommendation!

She deliberately wrote +$6 tip by hand herself at the bottom and told me I had to pay it because there were three of us. She stood there and wouldn't leave until I signed the check under pressure. This is straight-up fraud and theft! Tips in America are completely voluntary -- the customer decides, not the server. She had no right to add her own tip after I clearly refused. This is illegal. I'm not paying for such pathetic "service" -- late refills and slow plate clearing. This was a fraudulent action, and I will be disputing this entire transaction with my bank as an unauthorized charge. Do not recommend this place at all. Watch your check carefully and take a photo immediately. Extremely disappointed -- I will never come back!

The service was friendly and warm from the start, the kind of easy hospitality that makes it simple to settle in and start ordering without feeling rushed or judged. My waiter brought me a menu without hesitation and never blinked when I ordered another plate and then another, just kept the rhythm going with a smile and the kind of quiet efficiency that makes the whole experience feel smooth and relaxed.

One single person bathroom per gender. Food- hardly came our way, we had to ask several times if there was more meat coming. Shrimp came out several times to other tables but not to ours. We had to finally ask if we can have some. We were a table of four and kept getting the scraps - not enough for a table if we all said yes to the option. (Example chicken wings came by- only two wings available on the stick...) One time the meat came by with a long hair / fuzz attached to the meat and with seasonings... Salad bar - the lettuce and basic salad options were gone both times I went up to grab some. Drink service/ water refills were lacking. Had to ask repeatedly. Overall service - not at all the usual friendliness you can expect from a Brazilian establishment. Servers seemed unmotivated - just a sad vibe especially for Valentines weekend. Price- none on the menu. Turned out our "valentines special" rodizio was 60/adult. When I asked what that included - I was told it is because they offered shrimp and veal tonight... Way too expensive for the service and the ambiance. A disappointing birthday dinner. We don't plan to return.
