Daniel Hernandez and Lucas were super nice, quick and attentive, Daniel helped my girlfriend and I with what we wanted to eat and made sure we were okay throughout our dine. I would recommend giving these two very kind and hard working individuals a raise or promotion. read more

I've wanted to try this place ever since the chain came to America. Having eaten in churrascarias in Sao Paolo, I was looking forward to reliving the experience. What a letdown! Even the more modest restaurants in Brazil were FAR better than this place, which is overrated and overpriced. The details: * As has often been mentioned on Yelp, the service at this Pasadena location is HORRIBLE. Even the guy who checks people in and takes them to their tables would often disappear for 10-15 minutes at a time. At one point, there were no fewer than 15 people crammed between the front door and the reservation desk, even on a Thursday evening. I can only imagine how much worse it gets on weekends. * The servers were no better. Both of our friends' drink orders finally arrived about three-fourths of the way through our meal, even though it was a simple glass of Cabernet and a Rum & Cola. We repeatedly asked for the medium-rare lamb and were told, "Oh, it's coming; just wait a few minutes." THIRTY MINUTES LATER, it finally arrived. Additionally, many of the 'gauchos' had accents so thick we could not understand what food they were trying to serve us. * Speaking of the food -- the main reason to try this place -- it was, in a word, substandard. The cuts of meat were tough and gristly, and in every case, dry and overcooked. Almost everything that was served to us was well done, which, for a steakhouse, is a criminal offense. * The only bright spot was the authentic pao de queijo (just as we remembered it from Brazil) and a crunchy polenta side dish. Everything else? Meh. Even the salad bar at the venerable Chart House restaurants is better than this. Considering the value for the price paid, plus the plethora of choices in Los Angeles if one wants some meat for dinner, I cannot recommend ever going to Fogo de Chao. We certainly will not be returning. read more

Fogo de Chão - Crème Brûlée Cheesecake - Brazilian Near Me - Pasadena, California

The food, service and atmosphere were outstanding. We had the market salad bar and gaucho lunch. There were many fresh delicious choices at the salad bar. We love salad bars; this one is one of the best (especially the Pasadena location). The steak was delicious too. The servers were friendly and attentive. This was a great place for lunch! We will be back. read more

The service and the presentation was EXCELLENT. Most of the meats are so so. The BEST is the filet, lamb chop, and the picanha. The filet is full of flavor and very tender. The best! The service was really good on this last visit. They created a new position call, customer service rep." They come around to your table several times throughout your visit insuring that you are enjoying your meal and you do not need anything else. Fernanda was amazing! So nice and hospitable. The salad bar looked so delicious. The mushrooms, sugared bacon, caprese, papaya, and persimmons were some of my favorites. The price is quite steep, but for the service and selections it could be worth the spend on special occasions. HAPPY CHEESE BREADING! read more

I recently visited Fogo de Chão in Pasadena and had a great overall experience. The salad bar was absolutely delicious--fresh, flavorful, and with plenty of options to choose from. The staff Marcell, Isai, Alma were amazing as well, very attentive and welcoming, which really made the visit enjoyable. The only downside was the wait time for the meats. It took longer than expected for them to come around, which was a bit inconvenient and took away from the flow of the experience. After bringing it up to our server it seem he spoke to someone and they started coming around but that was my only down side. Overall, it's still a great spot with high-quality food and excellent service--I'd definitely come back. read more

Fogo de Chão - Brazilian Near Me - Pasadena, California

We dined here as a party of two on Saturday, March 14, 2026 at the Pasadena location. We had a reservation, and we were actually the first party in the restaurant on this day. What a great visit. This was our first time back at Fogo in several years, and the first time we have visited the Pasadena location, since it was no longer a BJ's (even though that has been a while) We arrived a bit early, so it just took us a little bit to be seated, as they were still prepping for the day; however, that only took about 5 minutes. The place is an awesome building, as it always has been. The amazing "salad+++ bar" in the middle is elegant, well cared for and has everything you may want and need on there. Our server, her name was Kelsey, and she was wonderful. She checked in on us frequently and was very kind, pleasant and just the right amount of interaction. The rest of the entire team, including all the meat servers, assistant servers, and everyone else was also wonderful. All of the food we had was excellent. We had a few rotations through most of the meats and even a few little surprises including grilled pineapple, pork belly, and some kind of delicious cheese with honey. All in all, an excellent meal at Fogo. I would most definitely return again in the future. read more

Jonathan's the best! Best happy hour in town! Will be back soon. Highly recommend Fogo de Chao in Pasadena:)

whatever the first two pieces of beef I had were honestly fine and should've gotten more of that and stopped because everything after went downhill. The lamb was mid. The chicken was absurdly salty. The other beef pieces I got were so red I couldn't get past one bite‍ the cheese bread is interesting but not my taste. The cheese and other sides were also mid. My main issue was everything being SO salty, like why that much. Best thing I got here was the passion fruit mimosa lmao read more

Fogo de Chão - Food - Brazilian Near Me - Pasadena, California

Where do i start, We had made a 5pm reservation a week in advance. Upon arrival, we were told that unfortunately they had over booked and would have to wait another 35.to 40 minutes. After about 40 minutes we were told our table was ready. Table was not ready and had to wait another additional 10 minutes just to be seated. It took anther 15 minutes before our order was taken. We placed our order and needless to say we had to wait another additional 25 minutes before we were even offered a cut of the meat selections. We went to the salad bar prior but it was basically empty. Our drinks were wrong and the service was slow and mediocre. Sad to say our first experience at this place was far from what we expected. Not worth the price . I wanted to enjoy the experience but Fogo fell short. We will not be returning. Our server Andrea was less than helpful and rude, slow and unapologetic as was the rest of the staff. read more

The service was phenomenal. Kelsey and Emelyn provided amazing service. They were very attentive and really made it a wonderful experience. I wanted medium well and they offered to cook the steaks a bit more for my taste. My drinks were always filled, the food came in a timely manner, the alcoholic beverages were mixed well and not watered down, and the salad bar was pretty clean. Again, big shoutout Emelyn and Kelsey. It wouldn't have been a great experience without them. read more

Our negative experience started when we were told at check in that dispite of having a reservation we had to wait for about 30min for a table. Our wait ended up being 50min. The service and the food was equally disappointing, our waitress Andrea, was careless, sent over the wrong drink and forgot the side we asked for. No one at any point apologized for the overbooking and the delay. The staff seemed very overwhelmed and the ambiance felt messy and chaotic. 1st and last time at this location. read more

Summary: 4 stars for good food and great service. Some issues with consistency for the grilled meats, but the stand outs were delicious. Service was excellent until we hit the dinner rush - unsurprising given the sheer volume of diners and interactive serving model. I wish the desserts were less sweet. *** My bf and I visited on a Saturday evening. We enjoyed the Dine LA special, which was $44 per person at the time. The menu was the same as their Best of Brazil special. We had to specifically mention the special prior to ordering to get the deal. After trying the full churrasco experience in the Thousand Oaks location, I thought the full experience was better than the Best of Brazil offerings. I'd return to Pasadena to try the full churrasco. PARKING We used the parking structure next door and paid $20 on a Saturday for 3+ hours. Unfortunately, Fogo de Chao doesn't validate. AMBIENCE AND SERVICE The interior of the Pasadena location was beautiful. I heard another customer saying that the building used to be a bank. We got a booth tucked away in a corner at the front of the restaurant. This dampened the loud noise as the restaurant filled out. Our servers Dominique and Saeed were fantastic. They juggled the mayhem of Dine LA and even a wedding party. We arrived at 5:15 pm, and service from all staff managed to stay attentive until 7 pm. Once dinner rush was in full swing, service became incredibly slow since the restaurant was packed. The interactive experience of using our personal tongs to grab the meat sliced as it's from the skewers was fun, but soon became impractical. The meat ran out before making its way to our table. I convinced my bf to wait another hour for the three remaining items that I ordered. He even had time to go outside and walk around the block twice! By the time we left, the line went out the door and wrapped around the block. DRINKS ORDERED Happy hour was all day on the weekend. They offered $5 beers, $8 South American Wines, and $10 cocktails. I enjoyed a glass of rosé while my bf got a red blend. MARKET TABLE & FEIJOADA BAR The buffet style bar offered a variety of side dishes. There were cheeses and cured meats, leafy salads, bean salads, corn salads, roasted vegetables, fruits, and soups. The feijoada (black bean stew with sausage) was alright. SIDES The sides that you can get with the churrasco were great. My favorite was the pao de queijo cheese balls, which were fluffy, crispy, cheesy, and buttery. The mashed potatoes were also very buttery. My least favorite side was the crispy fried polenta, which had better texture than flavor. The grilled pineapple topped with cinnamon wasn't on our menu, but it was offered to us anyway. It was just okay because the pineapple wasn't ripe. The fried banana was better in that regard. BBQ MEATS - Picanha (prime top sirloin cap). On the skewer, it looked like a U-shaped hunk of meat with a fat cap. The salt picanha was tender and delicious! I liked it better than the garlic one. - Alcatra (top sirloin). This cut was just okay since the meat was drier than the picanha. - Bisteca de Porco (pork chop). The pork had a great sear. It was juicy and perfectly seasoned. - Fraldhina (bottom sirloin). The steak tasted beefy which was great, but sadly it was too salty. - Madalhoes Com Bacon (bacon wrapped steak and chicken). The smoky bacon was much saltier on the steak than on the chicken, but the steak was softer and juicer. This dish was better at the Thousand Oaks location. - Cordeiro (lamb picanha aka rump cap). My bf enjoyed the medium rare lamb. I gave the edge a nibble - it was tender and soft and less gamey than anticipated. - Lombo (Parmesan-encrusted pork). The meat wasn't juicy. It had a sort of firm, gelatinous texture that I didn't like. - Queijo Assado (fire grilled Brazillian cheese). The cheese was stringy and almost meaty in texture. Drizzled with honey, it was a good sweet and salty bite. The honey was supposed to be infused with malagueta pepper, but I didn't taste that at all. - Torresmo (pork belly). The pork belly was better at the Thousand Oaks location. Here, the meat wasn't as tender and the seasoning was uneven. The second half of my pork was too salty. They also forgot to add honey. - Linguica (spicy pork sausage). Juicy and very fatty. The flavor was just okay for me. DESSET ORDERED Dessert was included in the Dine LA special. I asked our server for the less sweet option between the tres leches and chocolate brigadeiro; she recommended the former. The tres leches was still sweet, but it was more palatable than the key lime pie. I couldn't finish the pie at the Thousand Oaks location due to the sugar overload. The tres leches tasted mostly like one leche: evaporated milk. I prefer more whole milk for a fresher taste. At least the sponge cake was sturdy, and I liked the char on the meringue. read more

I've tried Fogo de Chao before, but Pasadena's location is pretty top-tier. It's a cozy, intimate setting with dim lighting around the tables' seating areas so parties can enjoy enough privacy for their meals. Fogo de Chao notably offers entrees with Brazilian sides and a market table buffet, but most famously, their Churasco experiences (one full and one "indulgent" that also comes with premium meats). We came for a birthday party one night and all tried the full experience. Servers come around with large skewers that include a vast array of meats such as bacon-wrapped chicken, top and bottom sirloin, ribeye, pork belly, and some cheesy Brazilian sides. On top of that, you can collect as much of the buffet items like vegetables, soup, fruits, and rice as you wish! We appreciated how the spacing between trying the meats panned out, plus we got full quickly from the generous portions. Dessert and cocktails are extra for each experience but they are worth trying (ex: Cosmo and tres leches cake). It was truly a marvelous dining experience but it's best for special occasions with parties or at least six. Thank you to Diogo, Veronica, and the rest of the lovely staff--Definitely will be back! read more

Meeting friends for a birthday dinner. I like to get an idea before everyone arrives. I approached the hostess, confirmed the reservation and said I would be at the bar. She let me know there was no room, I let her know that was a drag and she said there were plenty of bars on Colorado Bl. That being true maybe I should have left. That was my first impression. Ugh From that point on Service was amazing, 2 or 3 servers at a time, drinks came quickly, then they took our orders. We were a party of 4, each of ordered the single platter 3 ribeye and one lamb. I had the lamb, each plater comes with sides and the salad bar. The salad bar was no joke, asparagus tips, beets, tuna, wedge salad, artichokes,, tomatoes, pineapple, soups, just a lot of choices. The meats melted in your mouth, dripping in their own juices, and the servers came by multiple times. The side dishes were mashed potatoes, plantains, small corn buttered muffins. They brought out a Chocolate melted cake for a friend's birthday that was shared. Like the rest of the food that evening it was Fantastic! The building was built in 1929 , lots of detail, and beautiful. The dining area is an open concept, it does get busy and can be loud. It's a great place to meet friends and family. And a nod to our server Daniella who was very accommodating and helped make experience memorable. There is parking on the street , also valet parking and subterranean ($10.50). read more

Martin and Virginia were great and excellent service! Food and drinks were awesome! Going back again soon!

The only reason I'm giving this place three stars is because of the ambiance and for its untouched historical building beauty . Other than that the food and service were not on par with the expensive price. I honestly hate giving bad reviews but I was really upset and it ruined my dinner! Walked in the hostesses slumped over socializing and straighter up after we approached the counter, bad first impression for an expensive venue. The server sat us down took our order explained the details of how the meal process worked . I opted to get the lobster dish but sautéed as apposed to on ice as she recommended. The rest of our party got the best of Brazil. After a good 20 minutes or so while everyone was eating and me just sitting there I asked another waitress to check on my lobster dish she went to the kitchen and bought out a slapped together dish drenched in oil. I was hungry so I ate the overcooked twice lobster and shrimp, leaving the soppy bell peppers on the plate . Didn't even know it came with bell peppers , I don't like bell peppers . I did take a small sample off a scrap of the meat that was going to get thrown out just for a taste , it was very salty . I then assisted in cutting and forking the food for the minor in our party only for the waitress to walk to our table to tell me , that I cannot eat the minors food because I didn't get that package ! I advised her I'm cutting it as the knife is sharp .... I'm not eating it. The lemonade tasted like bitter bar made lime juice , left it without drinking it.... Maybe they were out of lemons and used limes instead!!! Throughout the entire meal multiple people checked in on us and asked us the same questions about dessert and drinks . We were constantly being checked on and monitored. I wonder if they have cameras on the tables making sure you don't eat from other plates. Then I asked for a cappuccino or latte only to be told that they were out of cappuccino and only had coffee. Found that odd for a Friday night ... I needed a little pick me up with the desserts and they were out of everything except coffee. It was an uncomfortable experience and will not be going back there again! read more

November 2023 - They do not validate parking. Paid $12 for about 4.5 hrs. Food/Pricing - Yellow drink was gross, plastic taste. Strawberry Hibiscus was great. Service/Ambiance - 45 minutes delay from reservation time. Checked in with them 3 times, each time was 'a few minutes longer'. No apologies and nothing comped to make up for it. read more

This is the 2nd time we've been to this location and both times they were running behind on reservations. Based on reviews this seems to be a reoccurring issue. Once I got a text to let me know our table was ready I let the host know. He acknowledged me and then turned around with no comment on if it would be a few mins or if our table was ready. Minutes go by and I let another host know and he advised it would be 5 minutes which turned out to be 15 mins. Essentially the first host seated 2 people at a 4 top when a 2 top was open nearby. Our party was a group of 4. Once we sat down it took a long time before any meats came to our table. Our server noticed and let us know he was going to send some cutters to our table. At other locations the cheese bread and other sides would be provided without being asked but we had to request each item. Once we figured this out we ordered the mashed potatoes which were room temperature at best. We only got one order of cheese bread. One server asked if we like more to which we said yes but it never arrived. We asked 3 other times and was told they were out. We ordered a shrimp cocktail starter but that did not arrive until well into the meal. Meats were few and far in between making the meal much longer than we had planned. Most likely the reason they're behind on reservations is because diners have such long wait to get food. The servers tried their best but there's not much they can do if their kitchen and staff aren't supporting them. For the same price I recommend M Grill instead. Better service, plenty of meats and seats reservations on time. read more

My kid asked if we could go here (our 3rd time) to celebrate her first day at her college program. Well, it's the perfect place to celebrate, so I said yes. One of the reasons it's a great place to celebrate is that whether you are a part of 2 or a party of 10, there is space for you. It's quiet enough to converse, also. Well, we were there for an early dinner so it wasn't crowded - it might not be as quiet later. As soon as you are seated, they bring you pão de queijo and it is so deliciously light and scrumptious one might be tempted to eat more than one. But don't! They also bring out caramelized bananas and crispy polenta. One might be tempted to eat more than one (of each). But don't! We both ordered the full churrasco. It starts off with the Market Table. One can have whatever one wants and can visit the Market Table as many times as one wants. There are all sorts of salads, as well as mouth-watering antipasti with both roasted and marinated vegetables, and charcuterie with cured meats and wonderful cheeses.. the table is full of fruit and veg that are both lovely to look at and delicious to eat. One can also enjoy feijoada (lovely, but filling). In fact, if you don't want meat you can get just the Market Table (though they also have main dishes that are vegetarian) and leave feeling full and satisfied. Although obviously the highlight of this restaurant is the meat, there is plenty for a vegetarian or pescatarian to enjoy. So in case you aren't aware, the way the meat is served is by men who go table to table with large skewers of meat that they slice to your liking at the table. We had picanha, filet mignon, ancho (hands down my favorite cut!). We tried the fraldinha (which was a little too strong for my liking). My second favorite is the alcatra. But there's more than beef coming by the table. The linguiça (pork) is phenomenal. The chicken is lovely. The kid also had medalhões com bacon which made her eyes roll up into her head she loved it so much. There are a few cuts of lamb as well. One can have the tiniest sliver or a big slice of whatever comes out, so if one doesn't fill up on everything else, it's possible to sample every meat. Well, maybe. I haven't been able to save the Market Table for after the meat, so I don't try everything. Daniella was the server (for everything but the meats). She is so attentive, and so friendly that when she teamed up with the kid to convince me that I wasn't too full for dessert, I was forced to agree. So crème brûlée it was. (We split it). Sorry I don't have any pictures. I was there just to enjoy the vibe and the food - not to document it. I suggest you go take a look - and taste! - for yourself. Oh - huge bonus: you can park in the Paseo (cheap!) or in the lot across the street (also cheap). You can valet, but it's not cheap. read more

Word of warning - reservation time does not necessarily equate the time you are seated. We wound up being seated an hour after our reservation time; however, our server Kelsey more than made it up for it! She gave us an appetizer to make up for the wait, helped us hunt down some picaña, and gave some desserts for our celebrants. Five stars for Kelsey!!! Overall, the rest of our experience was positive. Food was good as always, and the value for the quality of food is also to be noted. read more

Sat at the bar for a business meeting. They have their own menu there. Shhhh. Must orders: the bone and the burrata and roasted tomatoes. Also delish was the mini empanadas. Steak and lamb chops were pretty good too. Jesse did a good job but he really needed more help behind the bar. Toward the end another lady came to help. She was efficient and just got it! No pics of the food because we dug right in!!! The ambience is a vibe. High ceilings. Noisy enough to feel like there is action, but not so loud that you can't hear the person next to you. There is a parking garage right next-door. I was there for 2.5 hours and it cost nine dollars. They do not validate for parking read more

Fogo de Chão - Cosmo - Brazilian Near Me - Pasadena, California

We had a 12:15pm reservation and didn't get seated till 12:55pm. What's the point of reservations if you need to wait that Long?! Then the meats were all either overcooked or raw. They didn't come over with ribeye, had to ask for it which was another hour later. Service staff were nice but won't be going to that location again. read more

This is just a follow up to my last review. I'll keep it simple. Their associate responded to my review and told me to email Feedback@fogo.com so they are aware of the situation. I emailed them the day after with a link to my review and explanation of why I have a bad review. Did I hear back from them? Nope! They obviously don't care. I would never support a business that is this disengaged from their customers. Avoid fogo at all costs in my opinion. There are much better restaurant in LA that have the same type of food. You would just get better service, and cleaner restrooms. read more

The lunch Market Table price has gone up, but it feels like they've become a bit stingier with the meat service. I remember they used to come around at least three times, but this time it was only twice, and the portions didn't seem very generous either. That said, there's still so much food at the Market Table bar that I always end up overeating anyway. I do wish they had a bigger variety of soups and fruits though. read more

We were very excited to try this place. The place looks great, really clean and classy. We were sat down and the waiter took a while to get to us. I don't know if on that day they were short on waiters but we got so/so service. We weren't asked for refills very often. The meat service again was ok, seemed like we were passed up the whole evening on certain meat cuts.there were many times that we were just sitting there watching other tables get meat. The buffet they had didn't come with many choices either. The bread they brought to the table was cold and not very tasty. The meat was ok, for 80$ per person I expected better than ok. I don't think I would be going back, maybe in the future try another location and compare. Thought we would have a great experience there for my mother's birthday, unfortunately it wasn't. read more

First time here, had a reservation at 5:30 asked to wait a few minutes for a table so we found seats at the bar for a drink, bartenders are very friendly and gave good service. We waited 55 minutes for our table. Our waitress was friendly as well, when we went to the salad bar the service went down hill... completely empty plates for a long time and it look Kik there was only one person there filling the food, super slow. I had to ask at 10 times for specialty meats that never came even side dishes took for ever... Not impressed rather go to TXDB cheaper too! read more

This is basically a comment regarding our server, Daniel. He did a great job and was very attentive.

Lucas Lucas Lucas. He made our experience such a great one! I felt a bit overwhelmed coming here for my first time, but I was happy with the food and even happier with him taking care of us. It was super busy (a lot of people seemed to be celebrating graduations) but Lucas showed attention that I really appreciated. The Chilean sea bass was great and so was the lobster mac and cheese! I really liked it and am looking forward to coming back. Unfortunately I was too busy eating to take pics :( Presentation was beautiful and access to the market was great (the salads and sides). Thanks for a great experience! read more

Fogo de Chão in Pasadena has always been a place I wanted to love because I am a huge fan of the churrasco experience. There is something endlessly entertaining about skewers of meat making their way through the dining room, and that novelty still hasn't worn off for me. Unfortunately, service on my most recent visit felt noticeably off, and not just compared to this location but to other Fogo de Chão restaurants as well. It was difficult to get help without flagging someone down for refills or basic questions, and there were long gaps between table visits while groups of staff chatted behind the bar. Watching that happen while waiting was frustrating and took away from the experience. Each visit leaves me a little less convinced that the value matches the price, which is disappointing because I really want this place to feel special again. read more

I went into Fogo with an empty stomach, and came out absolutely stuffed. The selection of foods offered at the market table already surpassed my expectations with its high quality ingredients. The delicious selection of meats also had me constantly reaching for more. If possible, try and get the Full Churrasco dinner because despite the price difference, you get so many more options. If not, you will still have a nice experience! In addition, the servers and staff were absolutely amazing. This spot would be perfect for date nights or get togethers with friends/family. read more
