His kindness, professionalism, and contagious positive energy made our evening even more special.

This was the best dining experience I've ever had. Leo and Angel were fantastic. The food was incredible. Instead of operating like a traditional restaurant where you get handed off to one person who then struggles to keep up with your needs, multiple people check in with you constantly. Then there's the simplicity in the way of identifying if you want more or not. You just flip the paper chip red or green. Red they won't bug you about food, green they will keep it coming until you are satisfied. I liked every cut they brought but the prime rib was especially great. An exceptional value. Not cheap, but nothing about this visit was cheap and they earned the money.

Response from the owner

Thank you Adam for the amazing feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the experience, the service from Leo and Angel, and the variety of cuts. Hope to see you again soon.<br>

I’ve been to a bunch of brazilian steakhouses and this is one I would not recommend. This place felt half empty too.<br><br>Lots of meat was very well done even when you ask for medium. The meat selection wasn’t good because so much meat was overcooked.<br><br>You have to ask for chicken hearts and sometimes they have pineapple. Pineapple wasn’t available the night I went. The chicken hearts tasted a lot like capers. The server gave us a lot. There is no fruit offering at the salad bar and only 4 hot options.<br><br>The staff and service is nice, everyone is friendly and tries to be helpful.<br><br>This place is way too expensive for what you get in quality and options. I will not come back before trying at least 3 other places and I’d have to be disappointed by them too. If you have another option of a restaurant then go to that one. I tried this place hoping it’d be better than a chain like fogo but this was disappointing.

Response from the owner

Thank you Laura for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad our team’s service made a positive impression, and we’re sorry that other aspects of your visit didn’t meet your expectations. Your comments are important to us and help us improve. We hope you might consider giving us another opportunity in the future to provide a better experience.<br>

Churrascaria Plataforma Steakhouse is nestled comfortably, conveniently & deliciously in the heart of NYC! This authentic & traditional Brazilian Rodizio restaurant has withstood the true test of time. Opening in 1996 & still going strong... tableside- serving high end and perfectly prepared meats & full salads to me, my family & millions for over 20 years! We are true fans of this restaurant because we enjoy good food, good atmosphere & quality staff like Carlos who has been with this restaurant for as long as I can remember! We were in town to see the magic show Amaze and had a great evening out. We do recommend Churrascaria Plataforma Steakhouse!

Response from the owner

Thank you for your loyalty and kind words about Churrascaria Plataforma Steakhouse. We are grateful to have been part of your family traditions and will gladly share your compliments with Carlos. So happy you had a great evening, and we look forward to your next visit.<br>

The food was amazing! Come hungry. The different cuts of meet were incredible and varied, and the options at the salad/appetizer/sides bar were delicious (ribs, rice and beans, shrimp cocktail, sushi, and more). Though you don't want to fill up on sides, the yucca is worth it! Finally, when the dessert cart rolls by, you'll have to decide from at least a dozen incredible options. I enjoyed the chocolate mousse cake, but it was a difficult decision. We had a great time with our group of 6, and I look forward to being back again.

Response from the owner

Thank you Josiah for the amazing feedback. We are so glad you had such a great time with your group and that everything exceeded expectations. We truly appreciate your support and look forward to welcoming you back again soon.<br>

Wow! The service was top notch! The meat was outstanding. The buffet has so many options. I brought my wife and 4 teenagers. We all left nice and full after a couple days of walking around New York. Just what the doctor ordered! We will be back!

Plataforma has been around forever, and the Quality is still Top Notch.<br><br>I went this time for NY Restaurant Week and the "salad bar" alone is worth the price.<br><br>Sushi, coctail shrimp, 4 hot dishes (they change, the Chinese fried rice was extra yummy)<br><br>The meats are well seasoned, the warm Garlic bread and grilled cheese were nice additions to the table-side carved meats

Response from the owner

Thank you Haynes for your continued support and for dining with us during Restaurant Week! We truly appreciate your feedback and look forward to welcoming you back again soon.<br>

Been here a few times, and while good, I prefer Fugo.<br><br>Brazilian rodizio in Hell's Kitchen, widely recognized as Manhattan's first authentic Brazilian steakhouse. The experience centers around a lively, upscale atmosphere with a traditional "stop-and-go" service style that makes it popular for large groups and celebrations.<br><br>Rodizio Dining Experience: Patrons use a small double-sided disk—green to keep the food coming and red to take a break—as a parade of servers bring various skewers of meat directly to the table for carving.<br><br>Signature Meat Cuts: The standout is the "Picanha" (prime part of top sirloin), though the rotation also includes baby beef, lamb picanha, garlic-infused steak, pork sausage, and chicken hearts.<br><br>Expansive Gourmet Island: Before the meat service, guests visit a large salad bar featuring hot and cold items such as Grana Padano cheese, fresh seafood, sushi, and traditional Brazilian sides like black beans and rice.<br><br>Drink and Dessert Specialties: The bar is known for its potent "Caipirinhas" made with fresh lime and cachaça, while the dessert menu highlights a dense Brazilian-style caramel flan.

We had such a great experience, food was so delicious! Incredible choices of meats, and everything is all you can eat apart from desserts. There is a huge and fresh salad bar, while meats are freshly cut at your table. I highly recommend!

Response from the owner

Thank you Rhea for the wonderful review. We’re so glad you enjoyed the fresh salad bar, the variety of meats, and the whole experience, and we look forward to welcoming you back soon.<br>

I gave 4 stars for food just because of the deserts.<br>The Meath part was awesome. Great and tasty cuts kept flowing to our tables. We didn’t have to ask for something and it just came. There are parts we just tried to stop the waiters from keep coming with meat.<br>It’s was very tasty and plenty of it.<br>The salad bar was ok. Seen better but we didn’t come for the salad bar. It has plenty of option but it just didn’t talk to us.<br>We ordered deserts. You can leave without deserts. It was ok but not great.<br>I would stick with the meat. Unless you just have to finish with something sweet.<br>Overall it was a good experience. A bit pricey but compared to what you get and compared to NY prices it was reasonable

Response from the owner

Thank you Eli for your detailed feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the meat and overall experience. We’ll take your notes on the desserts into account and hope to welcome you back soon for another great meal.<br>

Had a reservation for 6 on a Tuesday night. It was easy to reserve and when we got there, there were plenty of open tables so it shouldn’t be hard to just walk in and get one. The service was top notch and the place was very clean. The salad bar was okay and had various cold and hot items. Sides also come out to the table like the cheese bread, french fries, fried polenta, mashed potatoes, and the plantains (we barely touched it tbh). The meat came in fast at the beginning so it was a bit hard to enjoy the pieces but partially my fault for not flipping the card to ‘no’. However, it seemed like all the good pieces were coming in from the beginning. We also ordered two pitchers of sangria (white and red) which paired well with the meal (quite refreshing). We opted out of the dessert since we were really full at the end. I do wish they offered the ‘meat lovers’ delight’ option ($24 less) offered on the website but we they only provided the regular menu. Other than that, it was pretty solid.

Response from the owner

Dear Nicole - Thank you for sharing your detailed experience! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the service, cleanliness, and sangria pairing. We appreciate your feedback on the salad bar and sides. We’ll make sure to offer clear options like the “Meat Lovers” special more visibly in the future. We hope to welcome you back soon for another great meal!

Excellent service. We made reservations just in case. We had a great time and the food meat just kept coming. We should have stopped that times and then kept going. I asked for meats that were well done. Everything was good. The flan was definitely one of the better ones I’ve tasted. The birthday cake not so great. We spent about $135 pp. The cappuccino hit the spot.

Response from the owner

Dear Lee- Thank you for your detailed review! We're glad you had a great time and enjoyed the meats, flan, and cappuccino. We appreciate your feedback on the birthday cake and will keep it in mind. We hope to welcome you back soon for another delicious experience!
