As far as Chinese restaurants go, you're not going to get better than this. The proteins used are great and the recipes are lovely.

If you think that real Chinese restaurants have to be hole in the wall, swanky, dim, somewhat…read moreduuuurty, well think again, China Lake is awesome as far as authentic Chinese food, and on the same time spotless clean, waiting staff knowledgeable, polite, and aaaaaaand their menu is filled with pictures and also in English, and Mandarin. They offer authentic Chinese (Shanghai) dishes, some, only found at China Lake, but if you are not to keen about authenticity, this place also caters not so authentic public, with options like sweet and sour, kung pao chicken, etc... Been coming here over 15 years and they have always been consistent!

I'm guessing a lot of their family members have left reviews here. It's not a good place guys…read more They charge around 400 reais ($80) for 3 meals which is exorbitant in Brazil. You'd think they could get better proteins for that price. The proteins are substandard, stringy and full of cartilage and connective tissue. The cuts of meat that they use require low and slow heating, but they get the rapid, high heat wok treatment instead. The worst part is they use styrofoam containers for their delivery service and they pour the dish into the styrofoam while it's boiling hot. The styrofoam melts and becomes part of your meal which is evidenced by little white dots suspended in your meal once it cools. Imagino que muitos familiares deles deixaram avaliações aqui. Não é um bom lugar, pessoal. Eles cobram cerca de 400 reais (US$ 80) por 3 refeições, o que é exorbitante no Brasil. Você pensaria que eles conseguiriam proteínas melhores por esse preço. As proteínas são de baixa qualidade, fibrosas e cheias de cartilagem e tecido conjuntivo. Os cortes de carne que eles usam precisam de aquecimento baixo e lento, mas recebem o tratamento wok rápido e em alta temperatura. A pior parte é que eles usam recipientes de isopor para o serviço de entrega e despejam o prato no isopor enquanto está fervendo. O isopor derrete e passa a fazer parte da sua refeição, o que fica evidente por pequenos pontos brancos suspensos na refeição quando ela esfria

If you are tired of Fogo de Chao but still need your rodizio fix, South's Place offers a breath of…read morefresh air. The quintessentially Portugese name for this place could not be pronounced by American tourists so they changed it to "south's place" to attract more non-Brazillians (jk). The salad bar is endless and offers a nice collection of sliced tomatos and salmon sashimi. "Pekeno" is the word you need to use to ask for smaller cuts because they will try to stuff you within your first 5 minutes of sitting down. Take your time, keep your bites small and think of the children and you just might survive this experience.

actually I am a big fan of this place. The first choice for me to go with my family and friends…read more (yea, of course, I have to go to Fogo de Chao or Jardineiro with customers). Needless to say, meats are all very good and salad bar are all fresh ingredients with some salmon sashimi (honestly I would go to other place for sushi). I guess garcons are all very well trained and the chief guy (he wears jacket of different color) commands his team pretty well. They are all friendly and attentive. Highly recommend for tourists also. After your stomach is so full, you can walk around in Shopping Morumbi till you feel comfortable! Oh. don't forget to ask for Papaya cream for desert. This will help digesting tons of meat.
