Reviews for Brasil Tropical - Brazilian Food in Richmond, VA

Best coxinha and best brigadeiro ! I?m glad I drove 20 minutes to give them a try! Worth the drive

We were looking forward to trying this new place after seeing the photos and reviews on Google. I am slightly disappointed with... number of items offered for the buffet. For $16 per person with tax, there are only two meat dishes. Sadly, the appetizers anddesserts are not included in the buffet. The chicken cooked with okra did not have much flavor, there was no breast meat. Overall, the food was well prepared. The place feels very clean. I would give five stars for the service. Our waitress Sophiewas the only person spoke English, she went above and beyond. It was definitely a good experience, just wished they haveoffered more for the price of the buffet. Please check their hours before you go there for dinner. I believe they open veryearly in the morning about 7:30 AM and close either 6 PM or 7 PM. Read more

What an great little hidden spot. The owner was on site and as she explained to us the features of the restaurant someone was... coming out cleaning the steam trays. I will say the reason why I love this spot it?s not large, and the colors are the same as Ihad chooser for Ty?s Internet Café which use to be located inside Rising Son?s Computers & Electronics. Even down to the Blackpainted ceilings. I love the decor and everything has a very clean mom and pop style vibe. Think miniature Texas deBrazil. It?s not over powering with a corporatety feel. It?s real cosy. NOW the food... OMG ???? meat everywhere ineverything. Not too much so if you are a vegetarian you can dodge it and just go for the rest. Yes, it?s a buffet Monday andTuesdays. Wednesday through Sunday it?s endless meats that are on skewers. Everyday the owners says the menu is different. Thiswill always set small businesses apart from the big guys. In conclusion Customer service = 5?? Cleanliness = 4.5 ?? (her littleboy after school came from the door directly behind the counter into the freezer... didn?t like that. Not sanitary) Variety = 4?? limited options but enough to keep you full no dessert included. Taste = 4.5 star some things are a little salty, but theymight be if they was there meats in saltwater. Frequency = 2x a month it?s affordable and it?s a buffet. All you can eat. AYCE.#risingsonltd Read more

The service was just as appealing as the food. David(our server) was kind enough to guide us through this cultural journey...he... answered any questions we had and encouraged us to try various things. This trip was about the already prepped hot buffet, butnext time we're going to enjoy the bevy of fresh meats just wating to hit your plate. I agree with David the bottled version oftheir local soda has better flavor notes than its canned counterpart. Read more

I used to come here when it was Cantina do Brazil, and I must say the transformation into the larger Brasil tropical steakhouse... is a fantastic progression. The interior is remarkably warm and modern and large enough for your whole group. The buffet looksfantastic, but today I got the Coxhina, which are delicious large fried dumplings stuffed with cheese and the most flavorfulshredded chicken. It is not possible to train anyone here to be more friendly or authentically warm to guests. I can't wait tocome back and dine in. Today was a bit rushed so I had to get these lovely fried jewels to go Read more

Awesome buffet, lots of vegetarian options as well. I?m vegan and able to make great plates for myself every visit.
