Obutekim in Kirkland is at a quiet strip mall with plenty of parking. Inside, the restaurant has a beautiful, colorful blanketed ceiling. I had high hopes for Obutekim – an a la carte version of Brazilian BBQ, instead of AYCE. We have no self-control, so this is much better for portion control. Service was sufficient, not particularly attentive. They were busy chatting with folks at a table behind us (people they seem to know). We waved for water refills, etc. The food was a mixed bag of hits-and-miss resulting in a grumpy hubby. (We went to Fogo the next weekend to make up for it.)
The Food:
Beef with Madeira Wine Sauce and French Fries, $27 – 3.5 Stars
Menu: Sautéed Filét Mignon with mushrooms, garlic, onions, parsley, creamy roti sauce, flambéed with Madeira wine. Served with French fries.
This dish tasted pretty good with the light wine sauce, many mushrooms, and very crispy fries. The beef chunks tasted mostly good with mostly tender pieces. However, my dish (see photo) doesn’t look like their online photo, which is a richer variant visually closer to what a beef bourguignon looks like. I think I missed out on whatever this dish is intended to be. Their pieces of beef are randomly cut in different sizes and shape, irregular and random. My mediocre knife skills can cut more uniform pieces of beef than they did. I like this dish enough but also not hitting the bar.
Fried Banana Side, $8.50 – 4 Stars
Menu: Banana empanada e Frita (Breaded and Fried Bananas)
These fried bananas are under the Sides in the menu. We received unbreaded fried plantains, which is fine with us since we like fried plantains. Their online menu says breaded and fried bananas, and the photo is completely different. I don’t know what this dish is supposed to be.
Brazilian Churrasco, $27 – 2 Stars
Menu: Choice of Beef Coulotte, Garlic Sirloin and Pork Sausage. Served with jasmine rice, Brazilian style black beans (containing smoked pork sausage), potato salad, and farofa. Choice of any meat.
This dish should be amongst their signature dishes. Hubby chose their two beef options: beef coulotte and garlic sirloin. See photo. The tiny piece is the garlic sirloin, which is garlicky but a bit tough. The two bigger ones are beef coulottes which have little flavor (seasonings), both are tough, with thick trims of fat. He said “2 out of 5 stars” with a grumpy face. I fed him some of my food to make him feel better.

I really like this place, as a Brazilian whenever I miss home I come here to have lunch. The atmosphere is great, there’s always Brazilian music playing, the deco is really nice as well.
The portions are big (even tho it doesn’t seem like it in the last picture) last time I ate here (last pic) I actually had leftovers for another 2 meals hahaha.
This space is bigger than the Queen Anne one, and offers the “Rodízio” all you can eat.
It does take a while for the meats to come and go, but I’ll blame it on the odd time I was over (3pm on a Sunday) and also wasn’t the fullest, but as soon as more tables were filled more options of meat were brought and faster as well.
The sides come quickly (cheese bread is the best) and the waiters were really nice. All Brazilian as well so it’s nice to speak Portuguese to them, they will greet you in English (obviously) but you can always say where you’re from (if you speak Portuguese or even Spanish, we Brazilians love to dabble in the “portunhol”.
Great experience overall, just hoped there more options of cuts of meats, and even some sides. But for the price, it’s really great.

This is my first Brazil cruise for a long time. My dear son goes here quite a bit with his friends. He recommended a couple of options for us and we did not go for all you could eat options but they do look good. The staffs are very friendly and accommodating!
be careful with 3.00% credit card surcharge. I noticed that when I was there 2nd time.

We tried out Botteco last December and it was good. The atmosphere is unique. The food was good. It’s a perfect place to meet a friend, talk about things and eat a nice Brazilian meal.
We love meat too much so ordered Brazilian Churrasco Especial and Lamb Steak. Both were excellent. My Lamb Sirloin was very succulent and cooked perfectly as how I preferred (which is raw). I couldn’t have enough of the vegetable and raisins rice! If you like potatoes, you are at the right restaurant because Botteco made many different forms of potatoes, including French Fries, which was super decent, garlic mashed potatoes, pan roasted fingerling potatoes and Brazilian potato salad. All from the TWO dishes we ordered.
SO said his steak tasted good but was served cold. We did have to ask the waiter to give us some seasoning for our steaks too since none were available on our table. That was the two small draw backs from the dining experience. I had never been to Brazil but I could tell Botteco offers an authentic taste. The menu is big here. Can’t wait to come back to try out more dishes.

The new place looks pretty cute, but the food and the people working there is another story. I went in to have lunch, ordered a churrasco appetizer and the order came churrasco special. I ordered medium rare, the manager explained that it would be too rare, almost cold inside the meat, then I changed to a medium. Well the meat came barely cooked, when it arrived I explained to him that it was too rare, he took the piece of meat back to get it cooked again! I thought it was not allowed to take food back to the kitchen and recook it. Second I ordered a passion fruit caioirinha, don’t be fooled. It’s a passion fruit juice with a shot of cachaça.
Also, my husband ordered churrasco special, the maionese, beans and salad that comes with it didn’t arrive.
So all that being said, will not be returning there again.

Amazing restaurant! The atmosphere was perfect, the food was delicious, and the music was great. It honestly felt like we were back in Brazil! My family and I loved both the food and the service. I would go there every day if I lived closer! Highly recommend!

This place is fantastic!! The people who run it are wonderful. They treat you like family. We received complimentary delicious empanadas filled with chicken & cheese or shrimp. Our dinner was great and tasty. Excellent prices. We will definitely come again.

Service was super nice and ultimately sufficient, just pretty slow in the latter half of my visit. The food was great! Venue aesthetic/decor/vibe was fantastic for such an unassuming exterior.

An intimate experience. Paired with world class food and world class service- this is a must try for meat fans. For $20 you get a sampling of all of their specialty meats which comes with some very tasty sides. The server recommended drinks and how to properly eat the food Brazilian style- which took the experience to the next level. On my top ten restaurant experiences for sure.

First things first. Botteco falls far short of the experience at Fogo de Chão. While the food was generally good, several factors prevented it from being truly superior.
Firstly, the service was incredibly slow. After being seated and placing our order for the all-you-can-eat option, we waited almost 40 minutes for the gauchos to start making their rounds. This was especially frustrating with hungry and hangry and increasingly rowdy kids in tow. Even the appetizers too way too long! At Fogo, the gauchos arrive almost immediately, ensuring a steady flow of delicious meats.
Secondly, the quality of the cuts at Botteco Brazil wasn’t as impressive as Fogo. While they certainly were tasty, they were generally comparable to Fogo’s “Best of Brazil” cuts, which are their lower-tier offerings.
Finally, the absence of a market table was a noticeable drawback. Fogo’s extensive market table with salads, sides, and cheeses adds significant value and variety to the dining experience.
Considering that Botteco Brazil’s price point was closer to $50 per person, compared to Fogo’s $70, you could make the case that the value is there. However, when Fogo runs their “Best of Brazil” promotion for $39, then that really ruins Botteco’s value proposition.
If you’re craving Brazilian churrascaria in Seattle, Botteco Brazil might be an acceptable choice. You may just be compromising quality and service a little bit.
