It was great to try another location, the Pasadena location has a high ceiling and it looks quite beautiful. We came on a Saturday, as they have a brunch special for 49.99. The staff was quite nice, but it seems like they were quite busy. If you haven’t tried Brazilian BBQ, I would def recommend you give it a try, it is all you can eat, and you have these cards on the table where you leave green for the meat to keep coming or you turn it over to the red side to indicate that you are done. There is also a self serve salad bar, with lots of needed vegetables with the meal. Food I don’t know if it was just an off day, but a lot of the meat, including the house, was a bit dry. Needed to definitively ask for sauces. We would ask for medium but the meat would be quite well. They include cheese bread, and other goodies , and if you want something just ask for it, like fries for the kids. Parking for your information is either valet, right next to the front door, or you can choose to park in the garage, and get validated in one of the shops. They did give a free desert in Celebration of our father’s bday, which was also quite nice. Thanks for the experience!

It was a perfect evening to celebrate a few birthdays together with friends. I had an incredible dining experience at Fogo de Chao in Pasadena! This beloved Brazilian all-you-can-eat steakhouse chain truly exceeded my expectations. The sumptuous salad bar offered a wide variety of fresh and delicious options that perfectly complemented the star of the show: the grilled meats. Speaking of which, the selection of grilled meats was outstanding. Each cut was cooked to perfection and delivered an explosion of flavors. The small cheese bread was heavenly, providing a delightful cheesy indulgence. Save room for dessert because it's an absolute must. The chocolate lava cake was a showstopper and a sweet conclusion to a fantastic meal. What made this visit even more special was celebrating a few birthdays together at the restaurant. To top it off, we were pleasantly surprised with free desserts, which added a generous touch to our memorable evening. Fogo de Chao in Pasadena truly delivers a top-notch dining experience, and I can't wait to return.

THE best Fogo in a 40 mile area. Pasadena location is #1 in my opinion. #2 would be the El Segundo location. And I base that off of overall experience, quality of the food and how its been cooked, comfort level with the seats and table, and also how much room there is around you. Service, and atmosphere are exceptional. The Floorplan is roomy and spacious, high ceilings. The food is great! Lots of variety. You tell them how you want the meat (rare, medium, etc.), and that's how they bring it to your table. Salad bar is FRESH, and well maintained. Mashed potatoes are REAL potatoes. You can tell by the texture, and the flavor. The parking lot is downstairs in the garage under the Paseo, and you do have to pay... hourly. Wichita was the manager on the day we came for lunch, and made sure everyone in the place was happy.

Great buffet. Good selection of meats and the salad bar is the best of any buffet I've been to. The meats are fire roasted and keep coming to your table as long as you have your green card showing. Picanha is my recommended meat to have.

Came here solely for the happy hour items :0) You have to sit at the bar if you only do Happy Hour. Thankfully we came early at 5pm and were able to secure seats (they get really uncomfortable after an hour cause the back rests suck). It’s beautiful inside! It kinda gave me Vegas vibes or fancy bank vibes. Their fried cheese appetizer with honey was soooo delicious and paired amazingly well! All the other appetizers were so so to me (the chicken tasted awful in my opinion). I loved their cheese bread. I was super disappointed by their empanada cause it was over toasted and cut my mouth. I loved their strawberry cocktail though! The bartender apologized for how long the food took and said she would take 2 items off of our receipt but then she later changed her mind and only gave free dessert (which their options weren’t that great and I was full but my friend wanted it). Parking at paseo ended up being $9 (more than a happy hour dish!) after staying for close to 3 hours. I hate parking in Pasadena. I would come back for their normal food cause their Brazilian street corn looked amaaaazing!

Fantastic Brazilian Steakhouse with a large selection of juicy meats they slice off the skewer tableside! Their included salad bar is amazing all made from scratch! Service was polite despite being understaffed and parking structure is across the street on Marengo.

My favorite steakhouse First time at the Pasadena location. Old building with high ceilings, great look. Food as always was great, the salad bar alone is amazing. The staff was on every request, we had a waiter but all the staff that walked past made sure we were okay. I surprised my wife with a cleaned up wedding ring and the waiter brought it out with our drinks. She was surprised

Growing up with the influence of Brazilian cuisine and tasting their flavors almost everyday makes me give a 7/10 score for the flavor. However, if you want a similar experience of the Brazilian cuisine, this is the place for you to go. They have a service like buffet for the Churrasco experience. There is a variety of fruits which I loved. They have an amazing service and all the waiters are very attentive. You’ll get a cocktail service passing through the tables which is super cool.
