Wonderful Brazilian restaurant, great service. Ordered the Strogonofe de camarão. It was delicious, it tastes like real Brazilian food (not the americanized, or latin version of it) If you want to taste your Brazilian comida da avó, this is the place

Granted I went for late lunch on a Wednesday but I loved the decor and ambiance and most especially I loved the food. I swear I have never met a moqueca I did not like, this one is no exception. Their moqueca do mar is full of fish and seafood, rich flavors I absolutely love it, It’s my favorite dish! Of course can’t go without caipirinha which is so classic as well. Will come back when I can but Brazilian food in New York does not disappoint ♥️🇧🇷

Really great restaurant!! The food was absolutely delicious and the place has a nice vibe to it. Always good to find a fabulous location away from all the hubbub on 8th and 9th. …but close enough to get back to the main theatre district and such if one needs to catch a show. Totally recommend.

Very good food, impeccable service. I ordered feijoada and picanha with cassava, it was incredibly good. We also ordered guarana antartica and coffee to finish. Everything was perfect. It cured my hangover very well.

Rice X Beans is definitely my favorite restaurant in NYC. If you’re Brazilian, you’re going to feel like you were back home. If you’re are not, dont worry, you’ll taste Brazilian cuisine and I am sure you will buy the next flight directly to Brazil. The food is delicious, the ambiance is perfect and the caipirinhas are amazing! The whole team is just fantastic and a big obrigado to Tati who has always been nice and helpful. Cannot wait to eat there again! Sending love from Paris, Bruno.

I crossed the Atlantic to visit New York and ended up eating at Rice x Beans every day. One of the best Brazilian restaurants I have been to. The feijoada & picanha are a must. The service is also a plus. Tati was very friendly and helpful.

I am in no way an expert in Brazilian cuisine. This is actually the only Brazilian restaurant I often go to and visted..BUT if THIS is was Brazilian cuisine is then count me in. We ordered the Estrogonofe de Frango multiple times and it's consistently delicious. It's creamy, soupy and great to dip in the white rice and thin potatoe chips that are served with the dish. We also ordered the Carioca Picadinho. Which is a beef stew accompanied by white rice & beans, fried plantains and farofa. So tender and succulent. Also, do yourself a favor a put a bit of their hot sauce on there. I honestly don't even have words to explain how good this food is. It's like home cooked would be an understatement. Definitely get the drinks during Happy Hour, sooo worth it. We tried the Caipirinha (which is a Brazilian drink) and the Margarita. We went during late lunch so it wasn't busy. The one server at the restaurant was amazing. She was wiping down tables, taking orders and answering our questions. We spent $70 (not including tip) for 2 people. Yes, it was Happy Hour so we spent a bit less for those drinks, so I highly recommend you do the same. This is one of the few places where that price is SUPER JUSTIFIED. This place knows how to do food right 👍

The food drinks and atmosphere was really nice here. We ate at the bar on a nice day to be close to the open windows. The staff were extremely pleasant. The caipirinha was delicious and the steaks were flavorful. We will absolutely be back to try more options!

Very nice place. Cozy and comfortable. The food is delicious and the staff very gracious. Some of their cocktails are named after popular Brazilian soap operas. I love it!

Very nice experience here— I recommend making a booking in advance as it got packed during peak dinner hours and the restaurant itself is a bit small. I liked the variety in food, including vegan options which is why we decided to give this restaurant a try (for my friend). Meat and non-meat, all tasted delish!

Portions were decent. The staff are nice. The portions were generous. I had some leftovers of the mini feijoada. I didn’t love the the signature cocktail but that might be personal preference. The bathroom had an air dryer but no towels or easy way to open the door without using hands. We found the passion fruit mouse to have a gritty consistency.

Second time here for the seafood moqueca! Delicious but be careful not to choke bc they leave the skin on the squid and its super stringy/chewy/long. Nearly happened to me twice and it’s not very attractive to peel it off when you’re eating with company 😅 But overall food is yummy, servers are friendly, music is bossa nova mellow, drinks are reasonable prices. They gave me a chocolate snack at the end of the meal.

One of the best feijoada l’ve ever eaten ! Venezuelan fella who’s the bartender makes a great caipirinha as well . I’ve been there twice and every single time I get back food is better and better

Authentic taste and service. My first ever Brazilian meal. The house special feijoada is an easy meal for three! Caution : Animals were harmed in the making of most salads 😅

We always enjoyed coming to this restaurant. In two recent visits, though, we noticed an increasing deterioration in quality. While the picanha was decent (albeit sligthly bitter), the estrogonofe chicken had a weird texture and taste. The drinks, which were always a strong item on the menu, had no sugar. When we pointed this out, we were given a tasteless syrup to add to our drinks that did nothing to improve its sweetness. Finally, a new c. $6 fee imposed on any shared item, alongside a colder reception from the staff in general, hurt the overall sense of conviviality and friendly brazilian atmosphere that in the past brought us to the restaurant multiple times. Very disappointing.

One of the worst service experiences I’ve ever had. The waitress was extremely rude and began speaking to us in a confrontational and embarrassing way in front of other customers, which made us feel very uncomfortable. Unfortunately, the food didn’t make up for it. The coxinhas tasted like they were fried in old oil, leaving an unpleasant aftertaste. Overall, a very disappointing visit.
