    How disappointing. I genuinely was so excited to come here for father's day to celebrate my grandfather. I have been here sooooo many times and I have only had positive experiences. What a sh*t show for father's day. I understand it's a holiday but for a restaurant that is on the upper price range y'all need to figure out your reservation system better. People were waiting outside for a long time even though they had reservations. (i.e. 40+ minutes.) genuinely horrible. Imagine you are bringing someone here for the first time, telling them how amazing it is and then have this happen to you. well that was my reality, very mortifying. We basically had to fight our way to a table. otherwise we would've been waiting outside for a long time. I don't know what happened here genuinely. If you are gonna try this place don't go on a holiday. They overbook this place and i feel as though they aren't staffed properly to fit the volume of people that are waiting. food was so disappointing, as in the same 2 meats were rotating for the majority of the time we were there I felt like a parrot asking for specific meats to come out. and I feel as though the quality of the meat has plummeted down since the last time ive been here. Silver lining was that there was other parties around us that felt the same way so it wasn't just an isolated incident with our party. once again, this was so embarrassing on my part for the fact that I would always rave about this place to my family and we ended up with the experience that we had today. Wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. For an all you can eat place, we left hungry.

    We had an amazing and very sumptuous lunch fit for a king ....it's Father's Day anyway! So many choices in salads, veggies, meats, and we got the lobster too! Staff are very attentive to customers. They go from one table to another. Checking what we needed! Food servers are very friendly and courteous! Though the place is a bit off because of the noise, you really wouldn't mind it .... the food was really good! The place is clean and well kept! Its ok to indulge once in a while to an experienced worthy of your time and money. Thank you to my kids for a wonderful Father's Day Celebration !

    We came here tonight to celebrate my birthday and I definitely enjoyed the service, ambiance, and of course the FOOD It was my parent's and I's first time and it's my sister first time also at this location. We made a reservation and was sat right away. Our server was Matheus. He was good when we were sat but was not very good at checking in on us. We also had to ask and follow up on chimichurri and other things as well because it was taking awhile to get what we asked for. Other than that the other servers were AMAZING. The ones serving the meats, and getting our plates out the way was very attentive. The food was so good, the meat was flavorful and not dry at all. My parents were addicted to the pork belly with lime and honey. I loved all the meats that I got and when we ordered desserts we got the molten lava cake, tres leches, and crème brûlée cheesecake. Since it's my birthday they asked me which one I was most interested in and I said the cheesecake and the waiter came back with a happy birthday written on it, a candle, and when we paid we saw that it was a complimentary dessert which we were so grateful for. It was an amazing experience and I would definitely comeback!

    Ordered: - Complimentary Cheese Bread (5/5): Love how crispy the cheese bread is and the way the cheese blends with the bread. It's one of our favorite items from Fogo! - Crispy Yuca Fries (4/5): This surprised us because we were expecting a lot more thinner cut fries, but instead it's just 6 really big fries with a sauce pairing to go with it. The flavors were solid but we just wish there was more! - The Bone (5/5): Favorite dish of the bunch. Initially looked overcooked but once we bit into it we found out how tender and juicy it was. Only complaint is the provided chimichurri was mostly oil. - Spiced chicken sliders (3/5): This was a pretty unremarkable dish, and the chicken was dry. Overall (3.5/5): We came here early for the happy hour menu at the bar, where you find seating yourself. There wasn't a wait and it was a pretty quiet dinner. Despite it being not busy, the food came out pretty slowly and we weren't very impressed with the sliders which we had higher expectations for.

    Absolutely nothing in this photo just like our plates. First time here. Service is horrible. Been sitting at the table for over an hour 1/2 and I've had probably 2 3 oz of meat. Def not worth the 57 per person price. DEFINITELY not coming back. Felt like I had to beg for food in order to get some meat. I didn't eat all day cause I was planning on feasting and I was extremely disappointed. Left feeling hungry. DO NOT COME HERE IF YOURE HUNGRY

    Beautiful space overall, the interior is really well done. The market table stood out the most for me, especially the Brazilian sides that paired nicely with the meats. The ribeye was our favorite, flavorful and satisfying, and the lamb was also enjoyable, not gamey at all. That said, the meats were a bit inconsistent. A lot of the cuts came out more on the medium well to well done side, and a few pieces were overly seasoned, leaning too salty and a little tough. I would still come back for the market table and drinks, it is a great spot to enjoy the atmosphere and try a bit of everything.

    Great place for guys night!

    Probably one of the best Fogo locations out there. I've been to a lot of them and this one stands out above the rest. The energy, the service, the kitchen and the meat stand are all amazing. I see Fogo expanding and bringing the beefy Brazilian influence to Rancho Cucamonga, and soon to West Covina, and it pleases me the way a medium rare steak and whisky would please Ron Swanson. We are turning the tide on the campaign to vegify our diets, and we are doing it with grace and class. Bravo, Fogo de Chão! The Pasadena Fogo came on the scene with swagger and confidence. The dining room is massive, sleek, sexy and puts all the focus on the bar and the beef. The house is always packed and for good reason. You get an amazing dining experience here. Last night my book club celebrated the birthday of two of its longtime members. We grubbed out to a parade of finenmeats and toasted through four bottles of wine. From the best lamb chops anywhere, to fantastic, tender filet mignon, ribeye and sirloin, to a picanha any brasilero would be proud of. This location is a cut above. Honorable mention to hostess Ruby for hooking up the best table in the house for our crew, and to waiter Luis for making sure we ate to our hearts content. The entire group was pleased with your service and attention.

    Thank you to Roy for making our 10 year anniversary special. The service was amazing. He's very friendly and welcoming. He helped us decide on what to order when we weren't sure. The food was really good, my favorite is the salad bar and Parmesan pork. I look forward to coming back again

    I have not been to FdC in years and boy did I miss out! The decor is elegant yet family friendly, great for a date or celebration. Our server was prompt, professional and accommodating with our order. We all tried the 'Best Of' menu. Picanha, lamb, top sirloin, mashed potatoes, cheesy bread bites, pork belly with a dash of honey - KEEP IT COMING. From the bar, olives, street corn, fresh mozzarella - MORE, PLEASE. Great service, great food. Good times. Now, the wonderful manager Michelle. Been with the company 10.5 years and represented FdC with grace, professionalism and a luminous smile. She wanted to make sure we were having fun, had all the things we needed (thanks for the lamb service!) and even helped us with our high school and college graduate celebration by sliding over (and giving advice) on decadent yet amazing desserts. Chocolate lava - chocolatey heaven. Tres Leches cake - one of the best I have ever tried. Seriously, order this today. Thanks to the FdC team and your hospitality. We will be back for round 2 of meat sweats and memories soon.

    Stopped by on Thursday, 02/05/26 to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday! Additionally, it was LA Restaurant Week, and Fogo de Chao participated in this amazing event! We ordered: - 1 Strawberry Hibiscus Caipirinha = $10.00 - 1 Umberto Moscato D'Asti = $17.00 - 2 Restaurant Week Dinner ($55 per person) = $110 SUBTOTAL = $137.00 TAX = $14.39 TIP = $15 TOTAL = $166.39 I purchased a $100 gift card (2, $50 gift cards) from Costco for the price of $80; applied it towards this visit - I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Food was amazing as always. I didn't eat as much as last time as I just got back from my Asia Vacation that week and was still stuffed.

    We did not, indeed, enjoy all you can eat. While our server, Marcel, was excellent (thank you for your wonderful service), the whole dining experience was very slow. It took a long time for each meat to come, and the first three rounds were garlic picanha. We were pretty frustrated waiting for each meat that we eventually gave up. Thankfully, our server Marcel was wonderful. We came to celebrate my parents' 50th anniversary, and he heightened our celebration with delicious desserts. The tres leche and crème brûlée are heavenly. Not sure if we came on an off day, or they are always this slow. This is the first time I ever left a brazilian churrascaria not full. The meats we did get to taste were tasty, and the restaurant beautiful.

    Fogo de Chão Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - Fogo de Chão

    Can I just come for the salad bar for lunch? What is the price?

    Yes, you can purchase just market table. I believe it's around $35-$40.

    How much is it per person?

    $75+ they have a specials sometimes for $54 non prime meats but they never honor it.

    How much would it be for kids who are 5 year old and probably will not eat as much?

    They're free!

    Is it all you can eat?

    You can choose their AYCE for meat or ala carte as listed on their menu.

    When you order the wagyu ancho ribeye steak to share for the table (weekend), is it all you can eat (re-fills)? Also, does the ribeye include market table items?

    No, if you are just getting an entree and not the Full Experience it does not come with market table items or salad bar but can add it for a fee. Might be 18.99$ extra.

    What are lunch hours?

    11 am to 3:00 pm

    Is it kids friendly?

    Yes. For the most part. I always see kids there. And they are never unruly. Very cute and well-mannered children.

    Is it all you can eat?

    They are known for the all you can eat but they have ala cart prices. The prices for the all you can eat also varies as they often happen to have special offers and choices.

    How much for weekday lunch of full experience?

    $51.50 per person

    There is a dress code?

    No, casual is fine.

    I was wondering can I do market table & Feijoada bar only on weekends ? And how much?

    No because it's the weekend. That offer is only on the weekdays

    Do you require reservation?

    I would recommend it

    Is there a time that happy hour ends? For happy hour do we have to sit at the bar or could we sit at the tables? Do we need to make reservations for happy hour if it's just two people? How long is the wait usually? Thanks!

    No reservation needed for happy hour and you have to sit at the bar.

    How much for weekend lunch?

    There's no lunch menu on the weekend.

    Can I bring my own celebration cake to eat after dinner in the restaurant?

    I've seen people bring their own birthday cakes. Not sure if they charge a cutting fee though.

    Do I need to reserve?

    It's always a good idea to make reservations. We use Open Table through their website.

    How much per person for Saturday dinner?

    $70 per person for all you can eat in Pasadena.

    Does entire party need to order CHURRASCO experience? Can one person order entree due to nutrition restriction?

    You can order al la cart there is a separate menu

    Does this location have chicken salad? If yes, is it available all day or only during brunch/lunch/dinner?

    I have been here to Pasadena for lunch, and it was at the food bar. And yes, it's the best friggin thing on the menu. 😍🤩

    Is there validation available for underground structure parking?

    Sadly, no. We were there about an hour and a half and it was $7.50 in parking fees.

The customer service was warm and welcoming, the restaurant was clean and well maintained, and the ambiance created the perfect dining experience. What made this visit especially memorable was how authentic the food tasted. I recently spent two amazing weeks in Peru, and this meal instantly took me back. I was able to enjoy two of my favorite Peruvian dishes, and they were absolutely delicious and full of authentic flavor. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great food and a wonderful atmosphere. It was truly an amazing experience, and I look forward to coming back. The only thing that could have made it even better would have been if they offered traditional picarones for dessert!

    I've been eating here for a while and have generally been happy with the food and service. However,…read moreI had to lower my rating after a recent catering order experience that was disappointing. This was my second time ordering catering from them. The food was good, but the service was especially frustrating. I spent over 30 minutes on the phone, in both English and Spanish, trying to process payment, which lead to nowhere till I had to drive myself to the restaurant to swipe the card manually. When it was time to pick up the order, the restaurant could not spare anyone to help bring the food to our car, despite it being a large catering order and the pickup taking place on a very busy avenue. What was most disappointing was the lack of concern or willingness to offer any assistance. The food arrived late for our event as a result. While the food was good, the poor service has made me reconsider ordering catering from them again, returning as often, and recommending them to others. It's a shame because I genuinely enjoy the food, but there are other options available. Hopefully, the service issues I experienced with catering do not eventually carry over into the restaurant experience.

The place was spotlessly clean, the staff were genuinely friendly, and right at the entrance you're greeted with Top Yelp awards, which immediately sets the expectation high (and they deliver). We ordered both the Classic lobster roll and the Connecticut-style. The bread was warm, crispy, and perfectly toasted, the lobster was fresh and generously portioned, and nothing felt overdone or skimpy -- just balanced and done right. The sides paired perfectly with the rolls and rounded out the meal nicely. The tatertots and fries were crispy and satisfying and well seasoned! Highly recommended!!

The food arrived within 10 minutes of ordering. The crab roll was packed full of crab meat inside the toasted bun. I love whatever sauce they put on top + the lemon which made the crab meat ridiculously refreshing. The side of salad helped me feel better about eating healthy too and was a nice textural break from the crab roll. Overall, the crab roll tastes relatively similar to what I had at Lobster and Beer. It was very satisfying and I can't wait to come back for the lobster roll. Until I find out they switched to a poke shop instead. What a loss.

I got the sea bass and the the fish was perfectly seasoned and cooked. The sides including the polenta cake and the baby bok-choy hit all the marks in terms of flavor, texture and presentation. I realized they had changed their dessert menu since the last time I was here in February. To my pleasant surprise and relief, their new dessert options were really good too! We got 2 desserts and the chocolate mousse cake was to die for. My girfriends and I were fighting for it. The warm apple pie was good too. I got the margarita mocktail and it was incorrectly made the first time but then they fixed it and it was delicious. Service was good. The ambiance is always modern, intimate and not too noisy. I am glad my gfs chose to come here after I recommended and I had another great experience.

Although there's no dress code, most folks dressed in business casual or nicer. The food was delicious. Because it was shared family style, they split it across two plates, which kept the presentation nice and clean. The corn agnolotti is a must - the brown butter sauce, roasted corn, shallot, and ricotta cheese combination was perfection. The shrimp penne was also excellently executed. I also ordered the sea bass. The fish was good, but the sauce and vegetables lacked flavor depth. The drinks were also great. I got the berry mojito mocktail - it was one of the best mocktails I had. The service was above and beyond in all aspects. Think of the most ideal type of service at a restaurant - that's what I received. Overall, I had an incredible meal and dining experience at The Arbour. I'd come back for a special occasion and I recommend others to visit.

We came…read morearound 6:30pm on a weekday for dinner and they were pretty busy and parking lot was quite full, but luckily we didn't have to wait for a table and still found parking. They have a lot of tables inside so it is great for small and large groups. The waiters were also fast even though they were busy. We ordered their Kung Pao Chicken, Fried Tofu, Beef Noodle, Shrimp w Walnut, and Vegetable w Garlic. We decided not to get lobster since it was pricey. They took our order pretty fast and gave tea to drink. The pot of white rice is extra $1 if you order though. And their menu book doesn't have prices for some reason. Only the to-go menu has prices. Food was served in a decent amount of time, around 15 minutes. And all dishes arrived close together so we didn't have to wait long. The kung pao chicken is so good! Not spicy at all and very nice and crispy with good seasoning. It tasted delicious with some rice. The beef noodles were also delicious! It had good wok taste and was very flavorful. The tofu and shrimp were also good. None of the dishes were too salty and all were seasoned well and in pretty big portions, though I don't remember the exact price since they took the receipt away when we paid. But the meal was very worth and we had leftovers for lunch the next day. Such a yummy meal! I really enjoyed it! I am definitely coming back again!

My family and I used to religiously eat lobster noodles whenever we made a trip down to SoCal. The pick of the bunch was 100% Newport Seafood- no negotiations, no contemplations. Unfortunately, the last handful of times have left me extremely disappointed and heavily annoyed. The cost and wait times do not reflect what is actually being provided and most of our food ends up being left behind because it simply isn't worth the calories. In all honestly, I've grown a phobia w/ that specific restaurant at this point because of the countless letdowns. My initial taste of Boston Lobster was about 3 years ago and I had the most enjoyable meal. Due to our LA trip coming to an end, my BD thought we should do it big with some lobster noodles- for good old time's sake. I absolutely refused to go anywhere unless we would be giving Boston Lobster a visit! Sure enough, they did not disappoint! Dinner for 3 adults and 1 toddler consisted of: *Boston House Special Lobster [no spice] + Garlic Noodles for an additional fee. Medium Size 5-6lbs minimally. *French Style Beef Cube *Sauteed Snow Pea Leaves We ate like mf'n KINGS!! Each and every dish was spectacular- even the greens! While we should have gone with the small sized lobster, I'm proud to say we went down with an honorable fight. Lmao!! The lobster was cooked to perfection- meat was sweet, succulent, and so darn tender. The garlic noodles soaked up all of the delicious lobster flavors and were not overcooked and mush. The bo luc lac was flavorful, juicy, and complimented the bed of lettuce, onions, & tomatoes so well. The snow pea leaves weren't tough and old- this truly was a simply yet magical dish. Service was on point and the staff continually came by to swap out our plates full of lobster shells. Above all, there was no wait with our initial arrival. Parking is easy given the fact that BL has a pretty big parking lot specifically for them. 5/5 stars!! We dropped over 3 bills here and it didn't even hurt. Lmao- this place is that damn good! Don't sleep on this joint, y'all. Boston Lobster is the real deal when it comes to authentic Chinese/Vietnamese cuisine. This spot should be so much more hyped than it actually is!

    Definitely a spot you come to on special occasions as it is pricey. We came with a reservation for…read more9 people, and they had everything ready for us when we arrived. We ended up getting a set for $168 this time, which came with 6 dishes. It's also $35 per lb for lobster, and I asked for the smallest one. Apparently, the smallest one was 4.8 lbs, which was another $168, so I'm not sure if they upsold me. Anyways, the food was fantastic and everyone enjoyed it. This is what I thought about the food we got. House Seafood Soup - Simple and clean soup. Good portion, and it was soothing to eat. Lots of squid. (4/5) Clams with Spicy Sauce - Large clams with tons of meat, and the sauce was fire. Always a good choice. (5/5) Crab with Salt & Pepper - Loved the seasoning, and the flavors were solid. (4.5/5) Thai Style Beef Stew - First time trying this, and it was good. A bit different, but the meat chunks were tasty and the overall flavors were good. (4/5) Sautéed Pea Sprouts - Nicely done vegetable dish. It's simple but refreshing with good flavors. (4/5) Fried Whole Fish - This dish was gone so fast because it was delicious. Nicely fried and not overly seasoned. (5/5) Signature Lobster - I feel like you have to get this here since it's their specialty. It's pricey, but in my opinion, it's the best and freshest lobster in town. Tons of green onions, seasoned well, fresh meat, and lots of lobster roe. (5/5) Service was good, and they didn't automatically add a mandatory tip for a large party. The total came out to around $364, which is pricey, but the food was phenomenal. Parking - Valet only, but they have street parking in front. I parked on the street since there were plenty of spots on a Wednesday, but I assume it gets busy on weekends.

They're best known for their Chinese-Vietnamese style cuisine, with lobster being their signature standout dish. They also offer daily lunch specials. On our most recent visit, we came with a large group of 20+ people spread across two tables. The lobster and fried sole filet were still the highlights of the meal, very flavorful and delicious However, we found that some of the other stir-fry dishes were just average. The fried tofu, for example, was quite bland, and we even had to send back a vegetable dish because the texture was overly tough and chewy. Parking is available via valet or street, depending on timing and availability. As a side note, Boston Lobster nearby in Rosemead is a strong alternative, and honestly, I may even prefer it over Newport
