GREAT EATS HAWAII: REI DO GADO CHURASCARIA

REI DO GADO

BRAZILIAN STEAKHOUSE

SAN DIEGO, CA

Had an incredible meal at Rei Do Gado. This Korean owned Brazilian Steakhouse is fantastic! We dined on the patio overlooking the streets of Downtown Honolulu. Our waiter was friendly, attentive and a good guy. I was blown away by the salad bar. Filled with fresh meats, salads, crab, vegetables and just about everything you could imagine. More things that I could possibly eat. Everything looked fresh and delicious. I started my meal with a small salad, crab legs, shrimp and marinated mushrooms. I wanted to try more, but needed to save room for the meats. This place is known for its unlimited array of meats, poultry and sausage served on skewers. All grilled on a charcoal bbq. The flavors were amazing. I really enjoyed the bacon wrapped filet mignon and garlic strip steak. To be honest, I was full after the first two skewers, but they just kept on coming. You can put a marker up on the table that reads red or green. Green means bring more skewers and Red means I am in a holding pattern. We dined for hours on the outside patio. What a great experience. The bartender served us a famous Brazilian drink that was kind of like a Mojito. I tried it, but just could not finish the thing. This is a great restaurant with a very courteous staff. Would highly recommend and cannot wait to return.

NOTE: AS OF 1/1/14 THERE ARE NO BRAZILIAN RESTAURANTS ON OAHU.
