Wednesday. Acarajé! Yes! You have all barbecue meats and dessert. I go 3-4 times a week because big variety of salad and food there. It's fast and very inexpensive. Service outstanding from everybody that works there.
Ate here after work for lunch and dinner as a temporary substitute paraprofessional at P.S. 112 Q trying Brazilian food for the first time feeling curious about what to choose and eat. I had chose tried and eaten a variety of meat and different types of dishes and sides with a can of Brazilian soda. It was definitely good and delicious. The service there was also attentive. Finally, I would definitely eat and come back again next time.
Another great Brazilian buffet with food that doesn't disappoint. Went over to the Astoria location, I've been to the one in Jackson Heights about 5 years ago and this place has a similar vibe to its other location. Food is also affordable too, my plate was about $15, bumped up to $21 with dessert and can of soda. A bit disappointed I didn't see any chicken anywhere in the meat section so I settled for strip steak and roast pork which was pretty decent along with seafood and vegetable yellow rice with a plantain on the side. It was a relaxing lunch and the service was pretty decent.
My best friend is Brazilian. Her mother took us here Sunday and the food was incredible!! I loved it. The place is nice it also had an outside sitting area. I will definitely be going again!!
The food is amazing! Picanha is so goood and everyone here is so nice. If you're in Astoria I would definitely recommend.
Everything was good. The food was on the heavier side. There's pretty much no service there. The bbq is nice as well. Classic Brazilian food that hit the spot when you need it.
Down the street from Rio Market is Copacabana, which is your typical kilograma (buffet by the lbs) pricing. The big difference to Rio market is you can see and order meat churrasco right away and get all your sides dishes at the same time. I find the quality of Copacabana not as good as Rio Market but the convenience of on demand churrasco is a big plus if You're craving a roasted meat plate . The decor is confortable and clean and feels like a cafe or basic market.
This is my second time ordering the chicken stroganoff and plantains for lunch at my job. Trust me, this is so good, and the portion size is enough for 3 to 4 meals. My first previous order besides the chicken was with the kale salad, which was good as well. I switched up this time and ordered the string beans salad, and it's a definite can't miss. The plantains were a sweet and tasty addition to the meal. I'm making my 2nd plate now for dinner, as shown in the pictures, and I still have enough for lunch tomorrow. Thus, the place is a must try, and I am looking forward to trying more items on the menu.
This is a no frills but authentic Brazilian restaurant. There is a self serve buffet where you help yourself and you are charged based on the weight. The buffet includes selections such as feijoada, farofa, chicken, spaghetti, rice and beans, hard boiled eggs, and many more. There is a large salad bar area too with a good mix of vegetables. The feijoada is a must try. And for a little extra money, you can get grilled churrascaria meats such as steak, sausage and chicken. I thought the sausage was especially tasty. I have been to other Brazilian places in Queens that are similar such as Aroma and Villa Brazil. Like some of the other places, some of the buffet selections here seemed a little old and dry but it's to be expected from a buffet. Overall, you still get good value for your money.
A hole in the wall, no frills spot that serves a hot + salad bar for $8.49/lb. Also more expensive options if you get the bbq/churassacuria meats at like ~$10/lb. Ain't the fanciest food out there, but with various salads, lamb, beef, chicken, cod it will hit all the notes. The beef was a brisket that was super juicy and delicious. The cod and chicken were saucy and flavorful. Very authentic and homey cooking. Also great selections of exotic juices, e.g. cashew nut juice, guava etc. At this price point, Copacabana cannot be beat. *I'm sorry Whole Foods but your hot bar is way too overpriced for what you're selling.
