“This place is on the intimate side, which I didn’t like completely. The food was good here! I recommend the French toast and the fried chicken. My friend ordered a medium steak and it was way too chewy but it was good she said. Cocktails were also good. The waiter was very helpful and friendly. I would go back again!“
“What a great experience we had at this place, fantastic authentic brazilian food, very tasty and good portions. Special kudos for Dino, amazing customer experience, I wish all the restaurants in NYC could learn how to treat people like he did with us. Great job and place!“
“This place is without a doubt the best steakhouse, the place is beautiful ? it has a wall full of wines and the house wine is delicious! The food is wonderful and the portions are perfect, my husband invited me to this restaurant to celebrate Women's Day and it was undoubtedly the perfect choice! The waiters and service were excellent, a good place for all occasions! I will be back“

“The açaí bowls remind me of how açaí should taste and how it used to taste before it became overly commercialized. The staff is always friendly. The space is very clean. The paninis are so good! When I work in Manhattan, I miss my Astoria location. I'm glad they moved in.“
“Incredible experience. Excellent service, food, wine and atmosphere. The waiters are very friendly and the constant serving of meat was fast and efficient. The Market table salad bar was incredibly tasty and so many varieties. Highly recommend this place and look forward to bringing friends here. Great location in the heart of Manhattan as well.“
“Loved this little spot. I was looking for a Brazilian restaurant and this checked all the boxes. 1. Pão de Queijo - yummy cheesy goodness. Pastéis (Brazilian empanadas) perfect! Feijoada do Chef for Two - feeds more than two - loved it so much. 2. Chicken Stroganoff - I was not expecting it but this was creamy and tasty and out of this world. I wanted to lick the plate. 3. Ropa Vieja - my daughter (a connoisseur of ropa vieja) said it's better than her grandmother's. 4. Picanha Grelhada no Alho - cooked perfectly. Lastly, I was surprised at the price after all the food and cocktails. Great value. Definitely worth going to Hell's Kitchen for this spot. Service was great. Everyone was attentive. Food was timed right and everyone was friendly.“
“I loved everything here from the food, service and atmosphere. The staff was very attentive and friendly and we had such a great time here. The meats were so good and the salad bar was stacked with all kinds of things from pasta to cheeses to cleanse the pallet. Drinks and desert were also great and it was nice that the attire was casual. I would definitely come back in the future.“
“This was a very neat cafe that focused on Brazilian flavors. I will say I thought the food may have over shadowed the beverages but I also don't drink coffee so don't hang on my word there. I got a matcha latte I've had better but obviously I don't think that's what this place specializes in so I think it can be forgiven. I had the a croissant sandwich and my lady had these prosciutto sandwiches (sorry I don't know the exact names) they we're both outstanding albiet maybe on the pricey side but you're in the seaport district so it's to be expected.“
“Sensational Brandon's attention, incredible how he takes control of the table in charge, the great atmosphere, the delicious food, the only thing is that the chicken did taste different and out of 4 people there was only 1 game that was served super dry, nothing fresh! The most super good!! Brandon 5⭐️“
“As a Brazilian, this place is legit. Not only the food was on point--the coxinha was fantastic, one of the rare few that really hit the spot in the city--the place is very homey, vibes are right, and service was SUPER friendly and attentive. Waitress Alaiana (espero que eu tenha lembrado o nome certo!) went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. We'll be coming back more often!!“
“Came here for Valentines Day with my family- 2 adults and 3 kids. Great atmosphere and loved the decor. The staff was very friendly and very attentive. The food was the best, we started with some appetizers and for our main dish we had the churrasco and the rib dish. My kids devoured their plates. We will definitely be coming back and I definitely recommend this place. Very kid friendly as well.“

“We opted for the “Full Experience” option and it did not disappoint. The buffet options (i.e. salad, hummus, rice, black beans, etc.) was decent. The meat options were delicious and included sirloin, bacon wrapped steak, lamb, lamb chops, chicken, and several other options. The cocktail menu was also good and they have a full bar. The add-on options (for an additional price) includes large shrimp cocktail which was tasty.“
“Me, my friend and Don came here after a long weekend in the city. This was an amazing place to slow down rest and eat amazing food. I loved the chicken with cream and hearts of palm. I believe it's calledFRANGO AO MOLHO DE PALMITO EN BREASt. I learned how to make it I enjoyed it so much. Thank you for a nice “
“Food is always excellent. Service is great, and the atmosphere is family oriented. Sometimes they are a few patrons that display disrespect toward others with the use of their cell phones on speaker either when watching videos or having private personal conversations that the rest of the costumers have no need to be subjected to. Management should try to keep a policy of no speaker allowed .“
“I haven’t had food from them for a few years, but after moving back I tried them again, this time at their new (to me) take out window. The pao de queijo was great! As was the coxinha and flan. I would have appreciated a menu on paper so it would have been easier for me to point to what I wanted since I’m really bad with Portuguese. I wanted to order more but I think it got lost in translation“
“Excellent food in a very cozy and Brazilian atmosphere. We ordered a mixed barbecue for 4 and everything was delicious. We were served by Natalia, super attentive and polite. For dessert we had pudding, delicious.It's worth eating there.“
“Checked this place out for NYC restaurant week with 3 friends. The service was friendly and prompt and the facilities were clean with a lively atmosphere.Delicious food. I had the Binmao Salmon and Shrimp Wontons. The proprietor asked me what temp id like it cooked to. Always a sign they're paying attention and they were attentive to how much we liked the food.I'd read about Cuban Chinese food once and I'm so glad I got to try it in NYC!“
“This place get packed easily due to the good and tasty food they provide.Amazing to see the big selection they have for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I believe they are the only one that offers a self service buffet breakfast. If you have been there for breakfast yet you missing out.A family business that have been in Astoria for years serving the community and making us Brazilian happy.“
“Came around opening on a Thursday and there was nobody at the restaurant, but it got much busier as the night progressed. The restaurant accommodates both small and large groups and seems to be a great date spot. They have happy hour with some drinks and small appetizers – we got the chicken wings (tastes OK) but felt like we could have skipped it. They have a large menu selection but we opted for the pork belly ssam (available Thu-Sun), kimichi fried rice and the picanha fatiada (steak). All of the food was decent, but nothing great enough for me to want to come back.The owner was extremely friendly and helpful though, so if you want a place with great service and vibes, this would be the spot.“
“First time going to Beija Flor and you have to go! This cute and lively restaurant left the best impressions! All the meals ordered were to die for and melted in our mouths. From the grilled salmon with vegetables, to the burger, to the mixed green salad with grilled shrimp, to the shrimp with garlic sauce, and the yuca fries, everything was *chef's kiss* mouth-watering!Service was excellent! The servers were efficient and polite. Cícero was hands-down such a hospitable, welcoming, accommodating, and friendly host! Our party went to celebrate a birthday and he came out with a candle sparkler on the most delicious and creamiest flan while the band sang "Happy Birthday" in Portuguese!Do yourself a favor and visit this lovely restaurant in Long Island City. It was such a short and easy walk from the E Queens Plaza train station. They made us feel welcomed and gave us an amazing experience. I recommend it to everyone!“
“Thinking about eating a good pizza, ? then let's go to Theodoro Pizza, Brazilian dough and filling, service and a clean and safe environment, live music on special days, it's worth checking out... I loved it.Vegetarian options: specialty of the houseParking: super easy to find your spot...“
“So many empadinhas, so little time! They got empadas, rizzolis, coxinhas, pães doce, bolo de milho, broas, sonhos.... Everything extraordinary beautiful, clean and super friendly. You can take them cold, room temperature, freezing or hot. I loved thd place and its owners are super efficient and ultra nice!!“
“The best Brazilian restaurant in NJ. Delicious food, each bite is a flavorful journey through Brazil's rich culinary heritage, from tender churrasco to savory feijoada. The attentive staff ensures every need is met with warmth and hospitality, making every visit a memorable. A must-visit for any food enthusiast seeking an authentic taste of Brazil!“
“Food was great, lots of options! Family orientated, servers were very professional and willing to help in anyway possible. Food portions were huge! Atmosphere was beautiful especially the wall up to the upstairs to eat. Always a table available, never had to wait!“
“The service was fast and friendly, the ambient was clean and very nice, and the food was traditional and tasted amazing. I was visiting NYC and decided to try this place since I was missing some food from back home, and it was just what I needed to kill my cravings. I tried their pao de queijo, pastel, coxinha, brigadeiro, and caipirinha. I look forward to my next visit!“
“Beautiful place with attentive waiters, delicious food ? exquisite drinks ? and awesome music. Highly recommend this place for a night out to drink with your friends or to celebrate ? a special occasion with your family. They also have private rooms for your private parties.“
“I saw this place listed on a website for best cheap eats and I can see why. This is an inexpensive Brazilian buffet that charges by the pound. I have been to several of these types of places in Astoria. Like those ones, in addition to the regular buffet offerings, they have a churrascaria option where you can choose cuts of grilled meat that raises the price. However, I found the regular buffet to be excellent as it is.Some of the items being offered were: maduros, fried chicken, beef brisket, rice and beans, seafood rice, fried fish, stewed fish, farofa, oxtail, spaghetti, salads, and much more. I though the brisket and fried chicken meat were especially moist and juicy.“
“Paid $42 for me and my boyfriend, they gave me a piece of meat That was so tough Everything else was good. I also don’t think she removed the weight from my plate but it wasn’t bad. If I’m honest, I think that the mashed potatoes and heavy items like that, are a waste because they rack up the price. Their hot sauce is good, however, if I’m being honest the amount of food we got it was not worth the price . It was tasty, but I think you have to be more smart about it than I was maybe just one plate with sides and one plate with meat . Also, once I left the bathroom, a homeless man was standing in front of our table which was a little concerning“
“Recently had the pleasure of dining at this Brazilian buffet where you pay by the weight, a concept that truly sets it apart. The standout dish for me was the five-flower pork, which was absolutely delicious, succulent, and seasoned to perfection.What caught my attention the most was the extremely fair pricing, making it an excellent value for money, especially given the quality of food on offer. The authenticity of the flavors is unquestionable, and knowing that the owner hails from Brazil adds that touch of genuineness to the whole experience.I left the restaurant with a mental note to return soon, especially to delve into their dessert offerings. This is a must-visit for anyone looking for bona fide Brazilian flavors without breaking the bank. Highly recommended!“
“Very good attention and service provided by the manager and the waitress Karla. The quality of the meat is excellent and very reasonably priced, the mains and sides are great. It was the first time I went and without a doubt it will not be the last.“
