We frequent Pasadena and Los Angeles Fogo de Chao. We love the "Full Experience", everything. Pasadena service was great on 01.04.25. There was a lot of attention to detail by our servers. The only gripe I have is that the restaurant because it's an open hall is quite loud, every time. The meats are always tasty, and salad bar is fabulous 👌🏽.
