    Selections from sides and salads bar
    Lillie L.

    OMG! What a wonderful way to end our week on Oahu. The night started with the server, Steve, meeting us at the table, explaining the restaurant and getting drink orders. After helping ourselves to the sides and salads the gauchos arrived with the meats. At first it was a little slow with meat service but within 20 minutes it was a steady flow of several types of meats. Surprisingly, my favorite was leg of lamb roast but majority of family fell in love with the Pichana. Ended our meal with desserts. From chocolate layered cake to cheesecake everything and everyone were phenomenal! Thank you again for the best night!

    Complimentary sides: fried plantains, mashed potatoes, cheese bread are good. Lobster bisque, don't love

    Unfortunately will not come back, unless necessary :( Overall, I had a good experience and the staff was more than helpful and friendly, but the food wasn't up to my standards. + Food: Some of the meat was delicious, like the lamb chop, bacon wrapped sirloin. Everything else was just okay. The sides were hit or miss. Love the cheese bread, chimichurri, fries, mushroom, potatoes were good, lobster bisque was not great. Desserts were delicious. My issue was everything was extremely oily or creamy, so overall the meat was undermined. I wish there were lighter options like light soups, pickled veggies (with no oil), which would bring out the meat quality more. We weren't full by the end, just didn't feel great. + Service: Great service! Very friendly and attentive staff. Received a free birthday ice cream. + Ambience: Big restaurant with plenty of seats but you can make a reservation on Open Table. Closest parking by Macy's. The restaurant is on the top floor.

    Took my husband here tonight to celebrate his birthday, worst mistake!!!! Should have gone to Gen for some korean bbq!!!! My family and I are not new to the Brazilian Steakhouse scene, but we have not had Texas de Brazil. Will not be coming back. Per the menu on their website, there should have been 14 different kinds of meat walking around. We only had 6!!!! The same 6 kept coming. Nothing new. When they first came to our table with the filet mignon, it was raw in the middle. I asked for medium to medium well. They came back with 2 pieces, mind you my table is 4, and it was burnt. Almost every meat they would bring was raw. Asked our server for medium to medium well, they bring burnt. Salad area look like it had seen better days. Rice, beans, soup look like it had been sitting ALL day or it just wasn't in the pans. So sad! We love the Brazilian cheese bread at fogo de chao. Asked if they had that, the server was like yes, you are going to love them. Nope!!!! Cold, stale and hard as rock. My daughter could bounce them off the table‍‍‍. Asked for hot ones, she brings me lukewarm ones. Bathroom floors were disgusting. My shoes stuck to the floor. Horrible way to celebrate my husband. As we exited the guy says hope to see you tomorrow. Told him NOPE!!!! NEVER AGAIN.

    Reservations were made months in advance for Valentine's Day dinner with my husband, so we were definitely looking forward to a smooth, romantic evening. When we arrived, we were told they were running about 20-25 minutes behind on reservations and were asked to wait outside. It was very crowded, with lots of couples waiting around, which made it feel a bit chaotic right from the start. When our name was finally called, it was hard to hear, and the hostess didn't linger to see if anyone responded. I thought I heard my name and sent my husband inside to check -- sure enough, they had called us. They did apologize and explained they were having trouble getting tables cleared and reset quickly enough due to delays with bussing. Totally understandable on a busy holiday, but it added to the initial stress. Once seated, things improved. Our waitress, Kelly, was genuinely kind and attentive. We weren't initially given a drink menu, but when we asked, she seemed surprised and quickly corrected it. She explained the dining process clearly and sent us off to the salad area. The salad bar is where this place really shines. It's far beyond your standard greens-and-dressing setup. There were grilled asparagus, green beans, balsamic tomatoes, specialty cheeses, and even a cinnamon pineapple dish that was surprisingly delicious. I'd heard the lobster bisque was a must-try, so I grabbed a bowl. The flavor was good, but it wasn't very hot, which took away from the overall experience. The meat service was plentiful and nonstop. As soon as we finished one selection, another gaucho would appear with something different. It felt like you never got the same cut twice, and there was always something new to try. If you're going for the full churrascaria experience, they definitely deliver on variety and abundance. Dessert, however, felt like another waiting game. When we said yes to seeing the dessert options, it took quite a while for the tray to arrive. Kelly came back multiple times to apologize, explaining that the dessert station was backed up. Once she finally presented the tray (probably about 10 minutes later), she thoroughly explained each option. I chose the banana foster pie. It took another 10 minutes to arrive. Again, apologies were offered -- and appreciated -- but by then the momentum of the evening had dipped. The dessert was good, but not something I'd rush back specifically for. Overall, Texas de Brazil at Ala Moana delivered on food quality and selection, especially at the salad bar and with the continuous meat service. Service from our waitress was warm and professional despite clear back-of-house bottlenecks. The holiday crowd and delays took away from the romantic flow of the evening, but the core dining experience was solid. Was definitely great for a date night. I wouldn't go far enough to say it was a special occasion type place. Would I return? Yes -- just maybe not on Valentine's Day.

    Senior dining discount 20%. Attention carnivores. When they opened at 5:00 p.m., we went for dinner. Assuming it was the manager, he invited us in, even tho only a third of my party was there, and asked if we would like to wait outside or be seated. We had reservations for 12 people. While waiting we were served drinks and small like cheese biscuits. Whe we started eating, they served, to the table, delicious garlic mashed potatoes and a killer prepared bananas. Other things like soups, sauteed mushrooms and starches (rice and scallops potatoes) were self-service at another counter. First impression: Very nice ambiance. A super large salad bar, but we weren't there for the salad. Waitresses and waiters come around in Brazilian uniforms with many meat entrees to choose from. They try to keep the meats hot when they carry them around for service. Pros: 1) Seniors get a 20% discount. 2) Large salad bar. 3) We had an attentive waiter. 4) Entrees were kept at a good temperature and not cold since they are carried around to serve. Cons: 1) They don't accept online gift certificates. 2) A bit pricey, but the senior discount helps. 3) Dessert is not included. Would I go back? Yes, even with the price of dinner. I would like to thank them for thinking about seniors. There is a good selection of entrees. WARNING: IT'S NOT WHAT THE LOCALS ARE USED TO. But it is well prepared. Remember, my fellow YELPERS... IT'S BRAZILIAN ALSO NOTE: They do have a salad bar only and kids price. Jasmine, if you read this, you have a killer banana condiment. You should think of serving it with some ice cream as a dessert. I think it would be a winner.

    Texas de Brazil at Ala Moana delivers a really solid churrascaria experience, especially if you're there for the meats. The service was attentive and friendly, and the gauchos kept the skewers coming with a great variety of well-seasoned, perfectly cooked cuts. The meats were definitely the highlight -- juicy, flavorful, and consistently cooked just right. It's a great spot for a special occasion or when you're in the mood to indulge and leave very full. The vibe of the restaurant is nice. That said, the reason this is 4 stars instead of 5 is the salad bar area. While everything was fresh and nicely presented, the selection of sides felt limited compared to other Texas de Brazil locations. I was hoping for a bit more variety beyond the basics to balance out the heavy meat courses. Overall, it's still a great dining experience with excellent service and high-quality food. If they expanded the sides and salad bar options, this would easily be a 5-star spot.

    You come for the AYCE. Typical tactics. Fill up on bread and salad. When the food comes...they bring out the cheap stuff. The meats that you come for were pretty scarce and we had to "request" it. I was starting to get a little irritated when I kept seeing our "meat" person walking by. Also I ordered a highball...but pretty sure I got a tequila on rocks. On a positive note the best thing I had here was the chocolate cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Nothing like cake and ice cream to make everything better. The Vegas location is better.

    This was me and my husbands second visit, and I need to highly praise Steven who was our server last night. Steven was very kind and not only attentive to our table but all around the restaurant. One of the best servers I had in quite a while honestly and Steven made our whole night. Food was great, flavors were on point especially pairing the flank steak and Picahnna with the chimichri. The meats took awhile to come around to the table but it was quite busy, understandable for a Saturday night. Overall, it was a great meal. Was too busy enjoying the food couldn't take more photos. Would come again! Thank you again Steven!!

    My carnivore hubby's request for his birthday dinner proved to be as pleasing for me (his pescatarian wife) as it was for him. Texas de Brazil left us both smiling and satisfied. In my opinion, it's a better value than a traditional steakhouse. Hubby counted and he enjoyed seven different types/cuts of meat. And while the gauchos kept his plate full with generous slices of lamb, beef, and pork, I kept my plate full with the salad bar options. My dinner cost was less than the hubby's because I didn't partake in the skewered and grilled meats. But I certainly got my money's worth! I was more than satisfied with the salad bar options and especially enjoyed the hot dishes like lobster bisque, fish, and black beans. They also bring sides of fries, potatoes, and plantains at the start of the meal. It's an incredible deal for the amount and quality of food you get to devour. I'm not really an AYCE fan but it this place elevates the idea of buffet dining. The gauchos were fun and personable. The hostess and server were pleasant and professional. And the manager visited our table a few times to chat. It was a warm and welcoming experience in a spacious, bright, and classy restaurant. At the end of the meal, hubby was served complimentary ice cream in honor of his special day, which was a really sweet touch. Great place for a date night, celebration, or family dinner. Some guests were dressed up and others were casual. It's a come as you are and leave more full than when you arrived type of restaurant. Lots of parking since it's in Ala Moana shopping center. And you can walk off the calories window shopping after your meal. If you're a meat eater, you'll love this place. And if you don't eat meat, you'll love it too. We definitely did!

    This was our second time eating here and my first commen,t is that the service was way better than our 1st experience. Our waiter was very kind and attentive to our table, even after it got busy. He also did his best to get our favorites to the table. I'm not much of a beef eater and it seems as though the mostly cater to beef eaters. You can request items, but each time we did we had to wait a good amount time my husband requested the picanha multiple times after seeing it come out and never making it to our table, it didn't make it until we were ready to leave. Definitely a different experience from eating at Brazilian steakhouse's elsewhere, specifically Texas. I do want to be fair, my 3 star review is not because the place is terrible. It is due to the lack of meat rotation. The staff serving the meat at our table could've also had a bit more personality, or at least a smile! Honestly, the salad bar is a meal in itself.

    My friend wanted to try this place out. It was his first time there. We went on a Tuesday for the kamaaina deal. I recommend to make reservations since it does get packed after 6:00pm. The meats were delicious. It was fresh and hot. I do prefer the cook on my meat to be medium to medium well and they were nice to accommodate that. My favorites were the picanha, beef ribs, and bbq pork ribs. They were very tender with the right amount of fat. It was also juicy and not at all dry. The salad bar was very clean. I see one of the staff wipe down the counter often. Great selections for salad and toppings. There were also sauces that pair well with the meats. I also do like their hot bar selections. The lobster bisque was very flavorful. The fish, mushroom, and gratin potatoes were delicious sides. They also provided the usual cheese bread, mashed potatoes, cinnamon bananas, and fries. They were all great. We love the cheese bread and mashed potatoes. They go so well with the lobster bisque. The cinnamon bananas were very good. They weren't too sweet and were a nice dessert-like side. Overall, I've been here a few times and service always been great. The servers were always attentive and friendly. The gauchos were hardworking and they explain each meat they are serving. There are times when some would missed our table but we were able to request for a certain meat and they would bring it out to us. Great seasoning and cook on the meat, delicious salad and hot bar, good sides and services. Will definitely continue to return again.

    Complementary birthday dessert! And they sing.

    Texas de Brazil Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - Texas de Brazil

    What is their gift card situation now? Do they have gift cards specifically for the Hawaii location?

    There's gift cards offered by Texas de Brazil but the Hawaii location or any future ones (as of now) doesn't honor gift cards or special promos. I wouldn't bother unless you want to use gift card on mainland or gifting it to Mainland family.

    How much is it for kids to eat?

    Dinner Pricing (After Happy Hour and not Kama'aina Rate) Kids 6-12 $34.99 Kids 5 & under Free

    Are reservations available?

    Yes. When on yelp go to there website and it will let you find table which gives you available times. Enjoy.

    If you order just the salad bar, does it include the hot food bar?

    I think so...the server we had referred to that entire area as the salad bar. Honestly it's extensive and you could have a meal from just the salad bar and leave satisfied.

    Is this place children friendly environment?

    They absolutely are. They have two extra areas, one is even more private, that are great for big families parties too. And for the kids they offer a special price: 2 years and under are complimentary, 3-5 years are $5.00 and 6-12 years are half… 

    Do you have options for medium well or well done meat? Thank you.

    Yes. They ask you when you are seated. You can request it, but it will take a little longer for the meat to come out to you.

    Happy hour hours and menu?

    No happy hour. Their menu can be seen on their website.

    Can you order a snack at the bar?

    It is an all you can eat style and salad bar buffet. You can order just the salad bar.

    Do they accept gift cards?

    No! No gift cards yet and no military discounts or Email promotions.

    What is the cost of dinner?

    $69.99 currently for special opening and $39.99 for salad area only

    Where in Ala Moana are you located? When will the restaurant open?

    It'll be located on the 4th floor of Ho'okipa Terrace. Next to Olive Garden and Mai Tai's. December… 

    Will it still open this year? I have family visiting and they would love to go to Texas de Brazil since they have been to their Las Vegas location...

    Yes it opens December 5th which is today for their grand opening.

If you have never in your life had fish, like you come from a place on earth with no bodies of water and zero import infrastructure yet you've enjoyed nibbling the end of your pencil, you would gravitate towards this dish. The chips and sauce do come with eraser morsels. The staff isn't pretentious or condescending or anyone that would give you snobby vibes they're very relatable super normal folks. Like you would want to be friends with them if they were friendly. They are genuinely bewildered. No other way to explain each staff member other than bewildered. All of them. Not rude. Each person employed is confused and just reallllllllly confused about a lot of things. Before we could warn our friends who were also in town, they went to 100 Sails for one of their birthdays, a work trip but trying to celebrate, ugh so sad. They made note of the birthday while making reservations and the husband mentioned it in person and ZERO mention by any staff. Zero acknowledgement. So if you really want to have a sad birthday, this would ALSO be the place.

The main entrees of seabass were tiny and dry and not enough sauce to offset the dryness --he steak was just okay, and very, very small. The proteins were not served with anything else on the plate which exaggerated the tiny portion and I heard guests laughing at the tiny portion in the middle of the large plate. Why not serve a green veggie or potato serving with the main? That is cost effective and the guest would have more food. I am a very small eater and I was appalled that the average person there would not have enough to eat. Then the coconut cake came. Tasty, but tiny, again. They cut less than half of the cake that we ordered and boxed the rest up for us to take home! Ridiculous! Should have cut bigger slices the first time. The math was easy and the guests were starving. What an extreme disappointment for almost $4000 after tax and gratuities! Come on, that is a terrible value and I suppose that is a venue tax for having a great view while dining on tiny, tiny portions. We entertain quite a lot and we will not book another dinner here as everyone had to get something to eat after the meal to fill up. I was totally embarrassed and pissed off simultaneously. Save your hard-earned money and go anywhere else and do not host a special dinner here!

    Review 45 (2026)…read more Breakfast We chose Ala carte at this time. I had Classic Egg Benedicts, loved and enjoyed Poached egg hollandaise sauce over, underneath crispy toasted English muffins. My husband ordered Kahala thin pancakes with maple syrup. We shared. Coffee big pot was on the table, served enough for 2 of us. We were enjoying having breakfast outside the terrace looking at the ocean. So relaxing and feel peaceful. Server was very nice and helpful. Thank you so much. We will be back during staying until 8/23.

When you're driving in to the location it is the driveway to the right before entering g the grand entrance. The restaurant is below ground level and you can enter it from the steps to the right of the main entrance to the hotel. The view is stunning as always. Everyone from the hostess to the waiters and waitresses were all kind and helpful. We went directly to the food that was offered. They had prime roast and omelette station. There was one person working it on a Sunday so the line was quite long. Possibly two people for a weekend brunch might help more. The food wasn't anything extra nor were the selections. We were quite discouraged for what they charge and what you get. Hotel food is a lot like airline food, however it would be great to have better choices. As I said, the view is what you're paying for and the service. Kahala hotel isn't what is used to and had lost a lot of that splendor and top of the line classy feel. I didn't take any food pictures but I'm sure you can find a lot with other yelp reviews.

    I have supported Hawaii99 Takeout Express tons of times, dine in, take out, family gathering for…read moreBirthdays, half of the visits were great but let's me share about my most recent visit. I see the new huge poster out front, every time I stop at the bakery next door, the family meal with 6 items sounds great, reasonable. I decided to make it easy for me with few stops to grab this for Super Bowl Sunday. I called that morning to place my order. There are no photos of the family set on Yelp so Your welcome, if you decide to order this set, Please think twice, it sounds like a great deal but not. I/my family was very disappointed. I picked the 6 items, now keep in mind it says "Family Meal Deal" when you get your items, family - ? don't think it will be enough to feed your family depending on how many is in your family. I got the 6 items for $55.95 and paid $8. for Chow fun. The 6 item choice I picked were : fish filet ( got the wrong order) roast duck, string beans, ginger chicken, sweet sour pork, and chicken wings. What a surprise when I opened up the bag to set up for our Super Bowl spread, they were cute little take out containers like the kind you would use for leftovers at the Chinese restaurant. They weren't even filled to the top. It was little like sample dishes. Wow. also the food did not taste fresh, all the food I got tasted like they were reheated, except for the chicken wings. The chow fun was a regular portion but it was on the oily side. I hope Hawaii99 Take Out Express takes down the huge poster in front, its very misleading and false advertisement. I have another review to write regarding my family dinners, this will be continued- will update. I just want to get this out there in case you want to get the family meal deal. Its really a joke! Luckily we had other foods at the Super Bowl gathering and also ordered pizza last minute. Sorry family, I am pretty much mad at myself, I outsmarted myself again. ** see my photo of what they call a "family meal deal" in tips**

The Dry Beef Chow Fun was very good and tasty and the noodles were on the thicker side not really thin like some other places, the beef was tender and good size slices. The portion size of the dish could feed 3 maybe 4. The cold Ginger Chicken was also very good and tasty and the flavor was really good and it wasn't overly salty. The Spring beans were cooked just right not over cooked and the flavor was different, but very good and the pork was sliced and the taste was really good. You can bring in your own BYOB! The restroom are outside of the restaurant and shared by all the business there, sadly in the men's restroom looked like a person was living there with some clothes and a dog bed and a packages of personal belongings scattered all over the bathroom floor. They said the tell the management and custodians, but somehow cannot keep who ever is living in there even with a key system they have to use the restroom. Overall the food is great!

We were seated 30 minutes after we checked in around 4pm. The Last time we dined here was 2023 and everything looked the same. Luckily we were seated by the railing with some epic views. Kristy was our server last night and she did socks and amazing job. She had this beautiful warm smile. She was friendly, knowledgeable and very sweet. Everything was amazing from start to finish. Hopefully when we come back Kristy will still be here so I can request for her. Thank you HJ and Kristy ! We will definitely be back soon !

This location opens at 4pm and does not take any reservations but we had very little wait, 25 minutes, even arriving at 4:05pm with a line already formed. While waiting for our table we made our way down to the garden and walked around and enjoyed the turtles and fish in the little lake they have. This is a great photo opportunity. Once our table was ready we were seated and our server came over quickly to get our drink orders and any appetizers we wanted to put in. Their poke and island ceviche were delicious. They also provide complimentary bread with guava butter that was amazing. Since I was celebrating my birthday I decided to go for the prime rib that many have compared to a steak out of the prehistoric era. It was cooked perfectly and the potatoes and green beans were great sides. This will definitely be a place I return to with friends and family due to how great the service was and the beautiful view and delicious food. The best part of the night was the Liliko'i Crème Brulee. I cannot wait to go back for more.

The buffet allows you to eat at your own pace and you can also order hot dishes as a side. We enjoyed the volcano and regular karaage chicken. The food quality was great and a perfect selection. Restaurant is clean and the customer service was fantastic! Between cooking the food and the upbeat music, everyone in the restaurant seemed to be enjoying themselves and I noticed that almost no one was on their phone.

    I'm torn on what to give this place, because if you show up with 2 people during a week day or a…read morelunch, you get to order up to 8 plates of raw meat at once with servers a plenty. But if you show up with 4 adults on a Saturday night when it is packed, you still can only order 8 plates of raw meat at once (akin to 6 very thin slices of meat per person) and a server you see again maybe once or twice more for the entire night. I would think it actually would make sense to me that they allow more orders to get placed at once (and just charge you extra if you don't end up eating it... like other places do) in times they are swamped, or at least up the portion per person (it makes no sense that the limit is the same for 2 people as it is for 4 people). It would have actually earned them more money tonight as we wouldn't have sat there hungry, staring forlornly at other table's plates but would have eaten quickly and left, allowing them to turn our table quickly. So yes, come here when they aren't busy.... But find another hot pot location to eat at on Saturday nights! Also don't come here if your kids are not height challenged. My 7-year old barely eats and is super skinny. But he is over 50 inches so we have to pay the full price adult cost for him.

The menu is pretty simple but I like that they offer seaweed soup & japchae. They meat was okay, the bbq beef and brisket being my favorite. Dessert was also included! They offer oranges, jell-o & nostalgic strawberry samurai!! Service was good, they came around kind of often to take our order or see if we needed anything else. Place was just your old school restaurant, nothing too fancy but felt comfortable and casual. Definitely will be coming back.

It was located in a strip mall and we quickly found a spot right in front. Inside was not very crowded for a Sunday dinner and we joined the others at our tables. Decor was functional but very convenient to have two grills going. The variety of banchan on the table was a lot including the amount in each dish. Also 3 sauces included but more variety can be ordered. AYCE included all the meats and shrimp listed, a variety of vegetables, and ready to eat options like mandoo, japchae and kim chee stew. Drinks were also all you can drink but separately priced. Staff were always quick fill our requests, clear used plates and replace grills. I tried the kalbi, brisket, pork belly and spicy chicken and appreciated the good cuts of meat, not too fatty but very tasty. We wrapped up with bowls of soft serve ice cream brought to our table and the strawberry color was not quite what I expected but smooth and sweet. There was a 2 hour time limit but we had no problem eating our fill before then. 18% gratuity automatically added to our bill but they worked for it. I'd come back again for sure.
