Food and service was excellent but i had commotion with the parking guy. I parked my car myself and on the way to go out, Valet guy asked me to pay $6 regardless of using service. I complained hard and got out without paying. I may not go MGrill again due to the poor valet service. read more

Decided to finally try this place after years of reading the reviews. There is a nice apple size parking lot. It is easy to find behind the main restaurant. All the staff was very friendly and eager to assist. The decor was nice, food was delicious and the quality of the meats with some of the best I've ever tried. It is a bit on the pricey end, and in this case you get what you pay for. read more

I'll be honest this was my first time here, and I'm usually not a big fan of Brazilian steakhouses like Fogo de Chão. But M Grill in Koreatown definitely surprised me. This is not your typical churrascaria experience. Yes, they have the traditional tableside meat service, but what stood out to me was how elevated everything else felt. The seafood options were a nice touch, and the sides were far from basic premium mashed yucca (so good), a salad bar with candied bacon (yes, candied bacon!), plus beans, rice, hummus, and chimichurri that actually had flavor. The service? Top tier. Attentive without being overbearing, and they made the whole experience feel polished and intentional. And let me just say the tiramisu espresso martini? Hands down the best I've ever had. That alone is worth coming back for. Overall, even as someone who doesn't usually gravitate toward Brazilian steakhouses, this felt like a hidden gem in Koreatown. It's giving upscale, thoughtful, and worth trying at least once especially if you want something beyond the typical meat-heavy experience. read more

We came here for their DineLA special and the restaurant was fully booked. The meat was juicy and flavorful. If you're coming for DineLA on the weekend, make sure to make a reservation read more

Good meats for ayce bbq and even better grilled pineapple. The cold bar is also nice to get a variety of sauces. Solid date night option that's different that the other kbbq places in the vicinity read more

If you're looking for a Brazilian steakhouse experience with great service and mouthwatering food, this all-you-can-eat gem is the place to be! A generous Wine selection is ideal for this steakhouse. More cost-effective than Fogo de Chão, this spot welcomes you with a warm, inviting atmosphere and a staff that is attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable--at least at the beginning of the meal. Although it is all-you-can-eat, it became evident that premium cuts of beef were strategically timed, with service noticeably slowing down after the first 30 minutes. Despite having our 'green card' up for additional servings, our table was often overlooked. That said, the selection of meats is excellent--from juicy picanha (top sirloin cap) and tender filet mignon to flavorful lamb chops, ribs, and bacon-wrapped chicken. Each cut is perfectly seasoned, grilled to perfection, and bursting with flavor. The salad bar was reasonable but subpar. Offerings included rice, beans, fried bananas, and a variety of vegetarian and non-vegetarian salads, but I really missed potatoes--no mashed potatoes, fries, or similar options were available, which felt like a strange omission. Pro Tip: Must-haves: Parmesan picanha, costelão (beef ribs), sausage, and filet mignon. Skip: Short rib and all chicken options. Come hungry, but avoid filling up on cheese bread and the salad bar! read more

This is one of my favorite spots for Brazilian steakhouses. It can be a bit pricey but their service, ambiance and meat quality is all so worth it. Reservations are recommended. They offer valet parking, I believe it's $4-5 for dinner. They have great meat options and you can request for chicken heart too! All the meats I've tried were nicely done, and their staff is very helpful and friendly. They always refill the water, meat coming nonstop and ask if we need anything, despite us being in the champagne room(a little secluded from the main dining area) Would love to eat here whenever I can! read more

M Grill - Early Galentines - Brazilian Near Me - Los Angeles, California

We went to M Grill on Saturday, August 23rd, and the entire experience was pretty great from start to finish. The restaurant really stands out in Los Angeles if you are looking for a Brazilian steakhouse experience that feels authentic, inviting, and full of flavor. The salad bar is on the smaller side compared to some other churrascarias, but honestly that does not matter when the main attraction is the nonstop stream of meats. If you come here, you are coming for the meat, and it is worth every bite. Before the meats even arrive, the little details set the tone. The cheese bread is warm, chewy, and absolutely addictive. It is one of those items that you cannot stop eating even though you know you should save room for the meat. The spicy red sauce on the table deserves its own shoutout because it is packed with flavor and heat without being overwhelming. A good tip is to ask for their chimichurri as well. They do not automatically place it on the table, but if you request it, they will gladly bring it, and it goes well with almost every cut of meat. As for the meats themselves, I enjoyed everything that came by, but two items stood out above the rest. The bacon-wrapped chicken was juicy, smoky, and seasoned to perfection. It was easily one of my favorites of the night. Right alongside it were the pork ribs, which were tender, flavorful, and cooked with just the right amount of char. Although, the meat can get repetitive as we found ourselves getting the same thing too quickly in a span of 20 minutes. The ambiance of the restaurant is very nice for the area. It feels upscale without being overly formal, which makes it perfect for a night out with friends, family, or even a date. Parking in the area can be tricky, but there is a valet service if you prefer to leave your car with them for convenience. Service was a bit uneven at first. Our initial waiter disappeared for long stretches, which left us waiting and unsure about the flow of the evening. Fortunately, another older server stepped in and completely turned the night around. He was attentive, kind, and very professional. He checked on us regularly, offered great recommendations, and really made us feel like valued guests. The level of care he showed was well worth leaving him a generous tip, and I credit him with making our night so much better. I only wish that I asked for his named so I can be on the lookout for him next time. That's on me. Overall, M Grill impressed more than the first time I was there. From the food to the service to the ambiance, it felt like a complete dining experience. I have been to Fogo de Chão before, and while it is a well-known name, I honestly prefer M Grill. The atmosphere is more relaxed, the flavors feel more genuine, and the service we received here left a lasting impression. This is a place I would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a memorable Brazilian steakhouse in Los Angeles. read more

First time dinning at M Grill. Love Brazilian BBQ and was seeing a concert at the Wiltern Theatre about a half a block away. You can valet if you are just going to eat at M Grill for $6. However, if you are seeing an event at the Wiltern, you can park all evening for $20. The ambiance and service of M Grill is pretty spectacular! While its decorum is elegant, there were plenty of people wearing shorts, jeans and other casual attire. The service was phenomenal! The entire staff were extremely friendly, polite and attentive. We never had to wait for anything! With regard to the food, it was really good. Lots of meat choices that were continuously being brought to our table. As will other Brazilian BBQ restaurants, the meal is accompanied by a large buffet with lots of typical offerings. Everything was fresh, good tasting and beautifully displayed. All in all, it was a great experience and I do highly recommend. The only reason, I didn't give it the 5th star was because IMHO felt that $80 per person was just a bit much as compared to some of the other popular like Brazilian BBQ restaurants. read more

First time here at M Grill to celebrate my birthday and I left SO FULL! Rotating various meats of different doneness levels. The way it goes is you are given a red M Grill card for the table. When the M shows, it signifies you are ready for meats. Flip it over to signify you don't want meats coming your way so they won't come to your table. They have every type of meat and even grilled pineapple. If you want a certain doneness, just tell them and they will bring it over and slice it for you. Everything is served hot and fresh. They have a buffet style table filled with various Mediterranean Salads, soups, vegetables, and other sides. The ambiance is beautiful. It is a spacious restaurant with a classy feel. You would think it would be a whole mess with meats going around everywhere but they have everything under control and monitor the timing of certain meat appearances. I definitely enjoyed my dining experience here. It is a meat lover's dream to come here! If for any reason you don't eat meat, I believe you can phone in and request substitution for fish. read more

Have a parking lot which is $6 valet. It's on the 2nd story, Accessible by elevators and stairs. Only open for dinner. Regular price for BBQ experiencen($80). I came on last day of dineLA ($70) and it was packed. Made a reservation on open table. Salad bar is fine. The quality of meats they offer is exceptional. Also the way they was cooked was very good. There is some variation each time the cut of meats comes out but overall consistent. My preferred options are- house picanhua, canteolo (beef bone), ribeye, and grilled pineapple. I got the grilled pineapple 5x and picanhua 4x. The quality of service was top tier. The staff come around very frequently with the meats. If you want a 2nd serving, they'll give it to you. We were here towards end the of the night. The staff asked my table 3 times if there was a specific meat that I wanted, and actually got it for me. Carlos, the manager, came by and said hello to use. He gave me table Creme Brule on the house! I personally think this experience is better than other Brazilian BBQ experiences like H&H and Fogo de Chao read more

Don't sleep on the Brazilian soda...Guaraná Antarctica!!! Highly recommended for small and large groups!!! Staff are so attentive and accommodating!!! read more

Delicious and varied salad bar. I really liked this shrimp dish at the salad bar. I'm always so thrilled to try their honeyed cheese and grilled cinnamon pineapple after an onslaught of grilled meats. The service was constant and knowledgeable and I liked that most of their meats were not over cooked in comparison to some other brazilian steakhouses i've been to. This place defaults more a medium to rare cuts, which I prefer. I feel like I never get to the full 18 rounds of meat coz I get to full but my gosh 90% of what I ate was incredible. The welcome was very sophisticated. The server that greeted us was very stylish and well dressed. The rest of the staff were also well dressed. The ambiance was very dimly lit. And even though the restroom was awkwardly located outside the restaurant, it was clean and well maintained. read more

16 options of items to choose from. Best cuts of meat are the Picanha, Costelao, & Lamb Chops imo. Nicely seasoned & tender. Found myself repeating these 3 multiple times. 5/5 Some meats in particular were surprisingly disappointing though. The Garlic Pincanha, Filet Mignion, & Bottom Sirlion were tough / chewy / dry. They were cooked medium well - well done each time I grabbed a portion. Unpleasant because I prefer medium rare. 2/5 Skipped chicken so I can't rate it. (Refused to waste any space in my stomach on this haha). Honorable mention is the grilled pineapple. Never did I think I'd be raving about this one but it's absolutely delicious & a nice palette cleanser. 5/5 The selection of sides & small plates at the bar are all looked top quality. Only got to explore about 15% of it but everything I tried was great. 5/5 Got a birthday flan comp'd & it was very good. Great texture, flavor, & appearance. 5/5 Ambiance featured an upscale interior with classy music in the background. Nice volume, nothing overbearing. Just right. 5/5 Service was absolutely top tier. Hostess was fantastic, waiters checked in on us every 5-10 minutes, drinks never reached empty before getting a refill, & dirty plates got swapped out constantly. Very tentative staff. 5/5 Will return. Next time I will request medium rare on the red meats. read more

I got to visit M Grill for a team dinner. This was an appointment for a party of 20+ people at around 5:30 pm on a Thursday. We arrived a bit early, but were able to get started early even before our whole party was there. For parking, they had valet parking in their own lot. It was about $6 for parking. It's a better size lot and there were plenty of spots still available at the time. This was my first time trying Brazilian bbq and I must say it was a unique experience. The staff frequently came around our big party with various of options (sirloin, ribs, chicken, etc.) I will say it did feel overwhelming with how many of them rotated to our table. Some of us were not able to grab the piece of meat before the next person comes around. They did have a sign that you could use to representing wanting more meat or not right now, but they did not utilize that for the night. Eventually, the frequency became more standard and then reduced the later we were there. Needless to say, I ate a lot and got a food coma by the end of the service. Additionally, there was a nice self serve salad bar. There were many stuff options from salad to pastas to cream corn, etc. Separately, I got a Brazilian soda and tried some fried cheese appetizers. I thought both were great as well. Overall, it was a unique experience that felt very refined. The lighting was dimly lit and felt sort of romantic. The tables and interior were all very clean. The staff were very attentive with bringing meats and remove unnecessary tableware. Come hungry and leave full! read more

This was an amazing dive into all grilled 'meat' experiences that I've had! I swear, meat offerings were coming left and right and you will not be disappointed by the taste, flavor and smell! The salad bar was plentiful and great accompaniment to the bbq meats! Service was spot-on excellent! The servers came around often to check on us and even asked which meat we wanted more of!!! The whole vibe was pretty chill and the mood was great for a Thanksgiving party. A dinner date with your significant other would be dope too! All in all, we experienced food coma! Wear comfy presentable clothing (you'll need it for your stomach bulge). No seriously! lol try not to indulge in the bread, carbs offering--you'll stuff yourself up even before you get to try all the bbq meats! Will try out this place again! Sorry no food pics! read more

Love the ambiance. Spacious and airy. Service was very attentive and the meats kept coming out steadily. Regarding the meats, they were good but not as flavorful as I'd hope for. I skipped lunch so I could pack it in and I did sample everything but the lamb chop and the smoked sausage. My fave was the picahna and the bottom sirloin. Ribeye and filet were just okay. Parmesan picahna and chicken were not for me. Beef rib was like pot roast. Pork rib was good. Cheese bread was perfect and they had the best salad bar over the other Brazilian churasscarias I tried (H&H, Fogo). Overall the experience was just okay. read more

Food is delicious but be careful with the drinks! Ask for a drink menu or ask for the prices.

Drinks were nothing special, Mezcal was fine but the drinks were too sweet for my taste. When we received the bill the drinks turned out to be $42! read more

Support LA by Eating at M Grill Ktown Yes! You heard me. Now until Feb 7, enjoy M Grill Ktown LA's award winning Brazilian Churrascaria BBQ Buffet for $69 just for DineLA . All the participating restaurants of DineLA are part of the movement to help the LA Wildfire Relief Community. Do your part and drop by @m.grill in Ktown. Their salad bar is filled with amazing temptations of smoked salmon, chilled large shrimp, roasted vegetables, antipasto, shrimp bisque, creamed corn, rice and beans. The best plan is to tell yourself NO and just chill at the table while the cute guys of M GrIll bring you out their juicy charred cuts of beef, pork ribs, sausages, bacon wrapped chicken, lamb chop and seafood! Their signature Picanha is amazing but did you know there they have a garlic crusted version and Parmesan version ?!?! It was my first time tasting the brown sugar crusted charred pineapple, it is heavenly along with that charred cheese with the hot honey drizzle. As I was giving up, I suddenly had extra room for their signature desserts of creme brulee, flan, dulce de leche cake and their chocolate cake topped with ice cream and fresh sliced strawberries. Did I have a fabulous time at M Grill Ktown LA? You betcha! The service and quality. Next time when I go, since I am Thai... shh! I am sneak in some homemade Thai Steak Dipping Sauce ( JEAW #iykyk ). Another thing is be prepared to pay $6 for valet parking. read more

Great place to get all your protein needs! Service is always attentive and they will ask what you would like to try.

Wow, what an amazing dining experience! We came here for the first time to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday and we had a lovely evening.

I am leaving a review by comparing this restaurant with H&H (Beverly Center), Texas de Brazil (Irvine), and Fogo de Chao (Thousand Oaks). I would give the best score to H&H (4+ star), Texas de Brazil (4 star), Fogo de Chao (3 star), and M Grill (2 star). Above all, bad parts first: the meat quality was all poor or too hard and burned to chew (didn't ask how to cook beforehand). salad bar has a limited variety with lower quality and taste (in addition to lack of aesthetic look; messy look). further, soup bowls are too small. Even if we turned the red side (stop service) on, staffers kept bringing meats. They may believe quantity will compensate for poor food quality. When I inquired about house wine, the waitress simply brought a glass of red wine without asking. The space is small. Finally, good parts: the waitress tried hard to please us when complaining about a virtual assistant for phone reservation said no table was available, while I could easily reserve a table online. She was customer-oriented (20% tipped because of her attitude despite poor food quality). I do NOT understand why it has comparatively good rating. Probably because pure Koreans, who looked to be indifferent to the taste, were majority of customers as if they were enjoying all-you-can-eat. Last but not least, its ambiance was way below that of Park's BBQ. read more

This AYCE Brazilian BBQ is my low-key favorite in Los Angeles. It is possibly the best-tasting Brazilian BBQ, beating out Fogo de Chao, in my opinion. Their premium meat is grilled over an open fire, just as it should be. They have an open buffet of sides, including some traditional items (cheese balls, rice, beans, plantains, and collard greens) and smoked salmon, olives, and a salad bar. The service was fast, friendly, and quite exceptional. The servers rotated endlessly with a variety of meat. My personal favorite was their RIBEYE cut. Before I called it quits, I requested one last cut of this meat, which was soft and delicious. This restaurant did well on the interior and has the best decor for an AYCE restaurant. The vibe ranges from a casual celebration to a romantic evening. Although the price is higher, if you are looking for quality, this is the spot. If you plan to make a reservation, ask for the table by the window for a scenic view. read more

Great Brazilian steakhouse. Wouldn't say it's miles better than a place like Fogo de Chão like some of the other reviews, but I would put this place at the same level as H grill in DTLA and Beverly. read more

I came to M Grill after hearing great things, but my experience didn't match the reputation. The meats were mostly overcooked and way too salty, which made it hard to enjoy the meal. The grilled vegetables were served cold, and that completely killed my appetite, I really dislike cold veggies. For a restaurant that charges close to $300 and presents itself as fine dining, the drink options were surprisingly basic. I asked for a Sanpellegrino sparkling orange soda and was told they only had Coke and Sprite. If you're not drinking alcohol, there should be better non-alcoholic options available. The Fogo de Chão in Beverly Hills offers better quality, variety, and service. read more

Came YEARS ago and thought it was just okay and wasn't memorable. We decided to give the restaurant another chance and came back recently during LA Restaurant Week. PARKING: $6 valet only. When there's a concert going on at the Wiltern, make sure you mention that you're there for M Grill, otherwise the price is $20 for parking. We came with a reservation -- checked in, waited 5 min, then got seated. There are booths on the side for parties of 4 or smaller, but what was nice about the booths was that you can exit from either side of the booth, making it easy to access the salad bar. The whole experience was much more elevated than any of the other AYCE Brazilian BBQ restaurants in the LA region. The food was not overly salty and there was enough variety where you don't get the meat sweats afterwards. Favorites from the salad bar: - Salads: all were well dressed - Creamed corn - Honey glazed bacon: basically millionaires' bacon - Roasted garlic - Roasted mushrooms - Roasted carrots All items were delicious and fresh!!! Favorites from the grill: - Bottom sirloin - Costelao !!!! Get multiple slices!! The marbling was PERFECT and I knew I wanted seconds after I took the first bite - Grilled pineapple Honestly, all the cuts of meat were well marbled and well cooked. Everything was a perfect medium rare and I didn't feel like any cut was too dry. We were full and felt like the price justified the amount of meat received. read more
