Interior decor is gorgeous with vibrant colors and fancy gold chair and beautiful tables/booths. Food is so mid, kind of overpriced for what you get. The service was so slow with one guy doing it all.. serving and prepping food in the back. Took so long to flag him down for the bill. The steak was seasoned well and we loved the meat in the beans. Portion size is decent.. but most of our steak had fatty pieces that couldn't be eaten. What a waste. Overall, I wouldn't come back for dinner. They do a lunch buffet.. maybe I need to check that out.

Obutekim in Kirkland is at a quiet strip mall with plenty of parking. Inside, the restaurant has a…read morebeautiful, colorful blanketed ceiling. I had high hopes for Obutekim - an a la carte version of Brazilian BBQ, instead of AYCE. We have no self-control, so this is much better for portion control. Service was sufficient, not particularly attentive. They were busy chatting with folks at a table behind us (people they seem to know). We waved for water refills, etc. The food was a mixed bag of hits-and-miss resulting in a grumpy hubby. (We went to Fogo the next weekend to make up for it.) The Food: Beef with Madeira Wine Sauce and French Fries, $27 - 3.5 Stars Menu: Sautéed Filét Mignon with mushrooms, garlic, onions, parsley, creamy roti sauce, flambéed with Madeira wine. Served with French fries. This dish tasted pretty good with the light wine sauce, many mushrooms, and very crispy fries. The beef chunks tasted mostly good with mostly tender pieces. However, my dish (see photo) doesn't look like their online photo, which is a richer variant visually closer to what a beef bourguignon looks like. I think I missed out on whatever this dish is intended to be. Their pieces of beef are randomly cut in different sizes and shape, irregular and random. My mediocre knife skills can cut more uniform pieces of beef than they did. I like this dish enough but also not hitting the bar. Fried Banana Side, $8.50 - 4 Stars Menu: Banana empanada e Frita (Breaded and Fried Bananas) These fried bananas are under the Sides in the menu. We received unbreaded fried plantains, which is fine with us since we like fried plantains. Their online menu says breaded and fried bananas, and the photo is completely different. I don't know what this dish is supposed to be. Brazilian Churrasco, $27 - 2 Stars Menu: Choice of Beef Coulotte, Garlic Sirloin and Pork Sausage. Served with jasmine rice, Brazilian style black beans (containing smoked pork sausage), potato salad, and farofa. Choice of any meat. This dish should be amongst their signature dishes. Hubby chose their two beef options: beef coulotte and garlic sirloin. See photo. The tiny piece is the garlic sirloin, which is garlicky but a bit tough. The two bigger ones are beef coulottes which have little flavor (seasonings), both are tough, with thick trims of fat. He said "2 out of 5 stars" with a grumpy face. I fed him some of my food to make him feel better.

This is a low budget Texas DeBrazil and not in a good way…read more Despite people saying this is a buffet, this place is not an all you can eat. It is like a food court where you grab a plate and serve yourself and then pay by the amount of food you grab. The pricing is very confusing. They have two prices, one for meats and the buffet station and one for just the buffet station. The buffet station was very limited and look very sad. The meats were okay but overall overdone and chewy. They didn't have any traditional sauces you would usually find at a Brazilian restaurant; they only had some salad dressing bottles. There is virtually no service. They don't really speak English. They don't have a menu and everything is self serve. It is pretty cheap if you just go for meats and don't get a drink.

The food tastes just like good homemade cooking, and I love the fact that they offer both à la carte and buffet options. They also have great Brazilian drinks, snacks, and desserts. I come here at least once a week to enjoy the wonderful food. One of my favorites is the churrasco and the lasagna! Unfortunately, the lasagna is usually available only on weekends. During the week, you have the option to pay for food by weight or enjoy an all-you-can-eat option for a set price. Plus, they always serve free Brazilian coffee. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to experience authentic homemade-style Brazilian food.

They are now located in a food truck in the parking of a gas station in Woodinville. The parking near the truck is fairly abundant. The online ordering is quite simple and they are much quicker than before. The burgers are still as good as ever. You might say a burger, is a burger, is a burger. But these burgers are different. Imagine a burger that really does not have any sauce and the only shredded lettuce and corn. Yep, corn, it works very well. The fries are okay but the smoothie drink is great. I would suggest getting the combo which is probably the best deal. One of the burgers has a ground beef patty and a sausage patty. The buns are a little different also, a bit flat instead of a typical fluffy bun and it works. This is a place to try and check out a Brazilian burger.

First off, the ambiance and atmosphere of the restaurant as you immediately step inside is spectacular. It's elegant but with a casual feel. Or maybe it was its casual with an elegant vibe... either way, you cannot go wrong. Depending on the time of day, if the wait is long, I'd suggest grabbing a drink from the full bar. Once seated, we ordered our drinks and headed over to the salad bar/cold cuts and grabbed some select items. I'm always careful to not overload on the trimmings as I'm here for the various cuts of meats. Pretty simple process. You flip your marker (green) over for cuts of meat being offered and over again (red) if you want to enjoy your meal. Then on and off again. The skewers of meat are divine, ranging from bacon wrapped chicken, to sausages, to a variety cuts and cooked beef, pork, or lamb. I opted for a 6oz. Lobster tail dripping in succulent butter, as well! Such an amazing experience! Thank you to the staff of Fogo and all of the chefs... hats off to you! As always, enjoy and Happy Sampling!

Fogo de Chão has officially entered its flop era…read more We usually come for the full churrasco experience, but on our last visit, we were practically begging for scraps. You'd think the gauchos were personally rationing the beef for winter...we were lucky if we managed to flag down three measly slices of meat all evening. Since the skewers were treating us like ghosts, we decided to order the dry aged steak that's supposedly sized for four people. Total fiction. What arrived was barely enough to satisfy two mildly hungry toddlers. Getting anything to the table took an eternity...drinks, side dishes, basic eye contact, yet the second we finished eating, the bill appeared at Olympic sprint speed. Truly unmatched efficiency when it's time to swipe the card. To top off the premium priced misery, the women's restroom was an absolute disaster zone. At this point, paying top dollar for neglect, false meat promises, and dirty restrooms is a hard pass. There are far better places to drop this kind of cash. We won't be back.

Their acai is just perfect level of sweetness, but I've seen some variation in the texture from extremely thick to a bit runnier. They are super generous with the amount of peanut butter, which is super nutty and fragrant. Also hard to find a place that throws in Brazil nuts as well. I think at one point I came 3x in one week during the heat wave and getting this as a little pick me up is just undefeated. They also had some seasonal drinks the past few months and their dragonfruit smoothie is a bit on the sweeter side, but you can definitely taste the pitaya! Parking is easy and I've never seen too large of a line, but service isn't the fastest if you're in a rush. No bathroom from what I can tell, but plenty of seating to try your snacks immediately.
