Berimbau do Brasil is a fairly well known West Village Brazilian restaurant. According to my first and last notes, I had tried the feijoada and the picanha, and both were excellent. My partner was craving a lot of this food recently, so we decided to try the new Midtown location of this restaurant. The menu has changed decently, but we were interested to see if the flavors were still consistent to their West Village location.

I remember visiting Yoon Haeundae Galbi a while back when they first opened. Galbi is basically beef short ribs, and normally in the U.S., these short ribs are rather small. I haven’t found any place in NYC that uses a large rib similar to the ones I had in Suwon, South Korea. When they take the meat off the rib, they also cook the tendons very thoroughly on the grill and it becomes crispy and edible.

Pastrami was ok. It was moist yet tips were dry. Food was cheap though, so might be good for lazy dinners. They have other things.

The ceviche was good, but the lomo saltado was surprisingly pretty good. Beef slices were tender.

Decent ramen noodles. Soup was a little salty. The egg was disappointing.

Decent Japanese snack place with okonomiyaki and octopus balls. But that’s about it.

Was ok. Nothing too memorable. Got the pizza with proscuitto on top. I think they should’ve cut it into smaller pieces.

Pretty bad and expensive. 10 pieces of bites fro $14, and it doesn’t even come with a drink.

Best banh mi I’ve had so far in New York. Cheap too. But this place is CLOSED.

Their pho + banhmi combo $12.50 is OK for lunch.
