   Flank and Picanha are the tastiest options. Best value for money. Other buffets are over $100.

   First, this location is no where near as good as the ones on the mainland. Food was not good and very salty plus mostly overcooked, I only had 1 flank steak that was ok temp. Our wait staff was nice but not great, as many mentioned service was slow. Can’t blame the staff if it’s scheduling issue. Bathrooms were horror’s! “Stuff” all over the seats etc looks like the don’t clean it often. Scary since it’s a restaurant.

   The food at Texas de Brazil was soo delicious, lots of meat to choose from. Their salad bar had a big variety of cold entrees to choose from as well.imported cheese and lots of different salads/veggies to pick from. We celebrated my dad’s birthday there plus we had a happy hour discount when we dinned in 25% off instead of paying full price at $69.99. Well worth it and left there full satisfied. Make sure you go there on an empty stomach fyi.

   I’ve dined at several Texas de Brazils and this one is disappointing. Meat service was slow, quality was subpar, options seemed limited compared to the others I’ve been. I’ll go to Texas de Brazil again, but never to this location.

   This was our first time at Texas de Brazil. We have been to other Brazilian Steakhouses on the mainland. The food was tasty here. It is pricey and the meats came out sllloooooowww not like other Brazilian steakhouses on the mainland. One peek was if you’re an HGEA member, there’s a 20% discount.

   Do not come expecting the same experience as the mainland. 1. Service. Too slow. Don't get me wrong, my waitress was very nice, but overall, I'm not impressed. Especially the manager. His Uncompassionate and unsavory demeanor did not leave a good feeling. Had he been just a little empathetic, then I would have been a little understanding about my gift card situation. Plus, they do not bring the meat out often. My dinner service lasted 2 hours, and we waited sometimes as much as 15 minutes for someone to bring a cut of meat. At most, you'll see 2 servers walking around with meat. It felt as if they were forcing you to eat stuff from the salad bar instead of the cuts of meat. 2. Meat selection. I did not see any ribeye or some of the other cuts of meat you'd expect, but fortunately, they had picanha. The bad part is that picanha is normally tender and flavorful, but here it was a bit tough and bland. It looked like picanha but didn't taste like it. 3. Veterens discount. though mainland locations provide a discount for both veterans and active duty, this location only provides it for active duty. 4. Gift cards. They do not accept corporate gift cards. They said they are a 'franchisee' owned, so they don't honor gift cards. Due to these reasons, I felt Texas de Brazil in Ala Moana is not worth its price tag of $70/person. For the price, you would get more food and better quality meat at a nice steak house. I felt we ate maybe 6-9 oz of meat per person due to the slow service, and it felt intentional.

    Wow Texas De Brazil. You were my favorite. Every piece of meat came well done. After asking multiple servers and gaucho’s for medium rare, it was either they didn’t care, or just couldn’t get it to temp. Sausage and Ribs were the only thing to circulate regularly. We saw top sirloin once and filet twice. I think all in all we got 5 pieces of meat. Has nothing to do with price, although expensive. It has to do with the experience we have come to expect with dining in your restaurants across the country. I guess I’ll have to go to Fogo De Chao. Unfortunate…….
