Average place with friendly people, but food isn't as good as other options in the area.

If you do you're disrespectful, pretentious and a slimy doofus. Lunch special is a supreme price. The selection is never ending. Nothing is bad, but not everything is good. You know what you're coming for and you hope that it lives up to being ok. I'd say this was slightly better than ok. And that's ok, because I wanted this. I came for this. Some of the better items? Nigiri. The hot and sour soup was excellent. Pork belly was very good. Honestly, the Chinese may have outperformed the Japanese. The Chinese shrimp dishes here are all legitimately good. Hear me and listen to the... if you leave unhappy you just didn't try enough. The dessert needs MAJOR work. Major major major work. That is really the only big bad L I can mention but maybe it just wasn't the best selection when we were there. If umi means sea or ocean... then what was up with team Umizoomi? Was Umi city underwater? Somebody get back to me. Anyways... I feel like this is a once a year visit. Maybe twice if I'm really feeling large and in charge. If you're trying to box a rhino or a hippo I'd go here for lunch everyday. I would absolutely be lying if I said I didn't enjoy my time here. Next time I get down on AYCE sushi, I may have to drag a few more with me to get their opinion on the establishment. Who are your wholesale partners? What deal are you getting on this seafood in the market? Love some good business. I could go all day. Three stars. Domo arigato and Sayonara.

At this superb spot, the regular buffet is $8.49 per pound and the separately charged grilled meat…read moreis $17.99 per pound, which sounds high until you try it. I had expertly prepared garlic sirloin, beef rib and chicken leg. Pork loin wasn't available on today's visit. The meat speaks for itself; even the garlic version wasn't overly tricked out. I enjoyed bacalhoada and beans from the buffet. Some of the carbs and salads you'd expect are here, plus the surprising appearance of oxtail, which i skipped as the agenda was sufficiently meat-driven. The woman at the counter showed how service can still be excellent in a casual no-waiter joint. I liked the red hot sauce at the buffet and the fiery pepper-laden condiment on the table.

Drove from Stamford because I was too lazy to drive to Danbury or Bridgeport for better quality stuff just to arrive and be informed that they don't have any, after they recalled me calling them for it. Alright no biggie (let's be realistic pregnant lady is not happy lol) got dois coxinhas com catupiry, two pao de queijo, some buffet food and left. Arrived home and the pao tastes super bland, the coxinhas taste different, and the food spiced more like in a Hispanic way then Brasilian, it was alright ( the buffet food) but definitely not Brasilian. I've learned that the establishment has had a different owner for years and that's why the quality of the food and the way it is made has significantly declined. If you're looking for good authentic Brasilian food, THIS IS NOT THE PLACE. They're just labeling it Brasilian but it is definitely not Brazilian food and not even good Hispanic food. Maybe stop advertising that it is Brasilian food and stop embarrassing the cuisine.

Omg my bf and I came here for restaurant week and we've never left a place more stuffed. For…read morecontext, I eat fish and not meat, and our waiter was very helpful in pointing out that the chicken + fish combo would actually be cheaper than the restaurant week deal. The servers here are all super nice and the man with the fish/shrimp made sure to come around to our table frequently. The cold bar was extensive and had a wonderful variety. I really had to limit myself on what I'd got and you could have a full dinner based on the cold bar alone. The cheese bread is soooo good. As part of restaurant week, we got the yuca fries and plantains which were super yummy. My bf loved all of the meat he got - he was so happy and satisfied. The shrimp was really good as was the fried cheese. The salmon was cooked well but definitely needed the mango salsa for flavor. The pineapple was one of the best things here - you HAVE to get it. We were honestly too full for dessert but it came with the restaurant week deal so we got tres leches anyways. The tres leches was super moist and tasty. This place is an amazing bang for your buck and we're super excited to come back. It was a really fun vibe here on a Friday night!

WOW ... WOW... WOW…read more. We were in the area and decided to try something new , came across this place and went in to check it out , here is how it went : Upon entering we were greeted by Jonas and an AMAZINGGGGGGGG bartender named Will . Will is simply the best , polite, professional, positive energy and outstanding customer service . He goes out of his way to make sure everything is perfect , we sat at the bar and had some delicious appetizers seasoned to perfection . I'm am Brazilian and I have been to MANY Brazilian steakhouses but this one topped them all and the didn't even try the rodizio. The whole vibe just makes you want to stay as long as you can , the only issue with that is that you will probably weight 100lbs more by the time you leave haha !! Everything is just so good . Jonas was very attentive and always asking if we needed anything else . An absolute amazing experience , we will definitely go back to enjoy other selections . Ohh and let me tell you their passion fruit caipirinha was awesome . If you want class,great customer service and great food definitely pay this guys a visit . You will not regret .

I have to admit; Indian cuisine isn't usually my first choice. Some of the spices and flavors can…read morebe a little more intense than what I typically gravitate toward. But I was excited to discover that Himalaya offers authentic Nepalese, Tibetan and Northern Indian cuisine, so I decided to step outside my comfort zone and explore the Himalayan side of the menu. We started with momos, Tibetan-style dumplings, which I was especially excited to try. They can be ordered steamed or fried, and we went with the mixed fried set, which included 2 veggies, 2 chicken and 2 beef momos. I tried the chicken and beef, while my daughter took the veggie ones home. We also wanted to try something specifically Tibetan, so we went with Sha Phaley, a traditional Tibetan meat-filled bread/pastry. Ours was filled with seasoned beef, fried and served with a chili and tomato chutney on the side. The chutney had a nice balance of tomato and spice and was a great complement to both the momos and the Sha Phaley. For our entrées, my daughter ordered Jalfrezi curry with onions and Himalayan sauce. The sauce had a bit of a kick, so I'll have to take her word for how good it was! Of course, I had to grab a piece of the beef with some garlic naan to try it for myself -- and I really enjoyed the curry. For myself, I chose the fried noodle mix with several proteins. The noodles were flavorful and the portion was generous -- enough to take some home for another meal! There are lots of pluses here: welcoming staff, a warm and inviting ambience, a full bar and plenty of free parking in the lot behind the restaurant. They also offer many vegetarian and gluten-free options, plus lunch specials Tuesday through Friday. And if you're looking for some weekend entertainment, they have live music Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings.

It was supposed to include waffles, an omelette station, exotic fruit and meat. No omelette station, no waffles. I asked for waffles and was told they were being prepared. I checked a few times they never arrived. Most of the meat was too salty and arrived very slowly unlike most Brazilian S.H. It even stopped before we turned over our cards. Not sure if they were taking a break but the serving time was brief. The salad bar lacked variety. It was half the size of other B.S.H. Nothing special just salad, fruit that you can get anywhere, cold cornbread. No shrimp, not much extras. The soup was ok.
