   wore a normal black dress for my birthday and was dress coded. multiple other girls wearing dresses who walked in while we were waiting in the lobby were also told they could not wear their dresses (these were all appropriate attire as well, nothing offensive). meanwhile there were multiple tables wearing sports jerseys and sweatpants. weird, but food was pretty good otherwise.

   Took my son, who just turned 16, to a Sixers game. Thought this would be the ultimate experience for him afterwards - but—not so at all. The food was sub par in my honest opinion, the service was slow and mediocre at best, and the management didn’t attempt to make it any better when we kindly asked for our check after waiting patiently for a very long time . Very disappointed- 350.00 later- we never ordered dessert and coffee because the service was so slow and we sat at our table with nobody around for a very long time. Also, the chips that are on the table to flip, were not clean. As I was seated and picked it up, it had layers of food crusted on to it. That was my first experience as I was seated. I think my son and his friend enjoyed our time together, however, my boyfriend and I eat at MANY different restaurants and this one I expected so much more from.

   Our first time at Chima. What is the difference between Foge de chao and Chima? Nothing-- same food type and gimmick (turning over a coaster for yes or no for meats to be delivered to your table), however, service at Fogo is much better! Chima seemed pricer-- $200.00 for 3 cocktails and salad bar/meats at table (2 individuals)-- not including tip. Nah-- got me once-- not twice-- both places are overrated. Spend you hard earned money elsewhere.

   My friends and I had a great meal, our server, Michelle, was a joy! It was one of my friends' first time there, and he loved it. I do think some of the beef cuts were underseasoned, but the lamb? PERFECTION! It's always amazing, my favorite cuts of meat when I go to Chima. The chicken was delicious as well.

    What good we got was good. Had to ask our waiter when he would stop by our table to send the guys over with the Salomon, shrimp, sausages etc. Even had to ask the manager to send them over as well. Wanted some coffee at the end of our meal and waiter totally forgot but brought us water instead.

    The food was very good! Luke was an AMAZING server, his attention to detail and professionalism were top notch! The bar crowd was a little loud, but not to the point of being a distraction. The staff was personable and we were seated within 5 mins of arrival. I have to commend the valet staff also, the process of retrieving your vehicle is easy and the young men on staff were beyond professional.

    We usually go there once a yr. This is the only time I didn’t like the beef ribs. It was extremely chewy. Usually that’s the item I look forward to eat. I was extremely disappointed. Overall it’s a nice restaurant. Friendly stuff.

    My family and I were celebrating New Year’s as we frequent this restaurant many times. However we were kind of disappointed in the lack of flavor and seasoning the food had. Other than that our waiter Luke was great and the complimentary glass of bubbly was a great touch. Pricing was a little high I guess because of New Years you should expect this.

    China delivers on the promise of providing a memorable experience. The salad bar offers amazing variety and was well stocked and maintained. Our waiter was very welcoming and helpful as we prepared to order drinks and to start the delicious assortment of 17 cuts of meats, poultry and shrimp. The choreography of gauchos moving around the room with skewers was fun to watch (and fun to be served at our table). The meats were especially memorable and cooked to your preference (rare to well done). We enjoyed a fine Portuguese wine and a tangy Brazilian cocktail. The dining room has a sleek and elegant atmosphere but comfortable in ambiance for everyone. The noise level and music were very tolerable for a large room. We also appreciated the gift of a cheese cake for our anniversary. Dining at Chima was truly a memorable experience.

    Celebrated Christmas with family at Chima's for brunch. The selections are excellent, including the salmon with two delicious sauces (a plus for people who enjoy jazzing their seafood up a bit), outstanding beef ribs, and the filet, which were among the top tier of the meat options. The salad bar and other choices available were fresh and excellent additions. The modern ambiance and music definitely take you some else. Chima was a great place to recognize the holiday in a special way.
