"A prime example of Brazilian rodizio (barbecue), worth the literal and metaphorical salt, Chima is named for chimarrâo, a national drink that symbolizes hospitality and friendship. For those of carnivorous intent and prodigious appetite, Chima is a treat."
- Zagat Survey America's Top Restaurants 2005, 2006

"Chima, a new Brazilian  steakhouse in Vienna,  has  a great  look.  It  is  in a hotel and office  park,  but it is  sleek  and modern  in browns and oranges,  sprinkled with fun elements like six-foot  tall vases.  There's  a swank  bar and  several  flat-screen  TVs, one  of which is on a  large  transparent  panel  in the middle  of the ballroom-size restaurant  and can  be  viewed  from two sides."
- The Washington  Times,  March 2007

 

 "A  tony steak  house  gives  South  Florida a breezy  buffet and selection  of rotisserie meats  roasted  and seasoned  to irresistibilify.  Seductive  d6cor  and staff  create  a mysterious,  buoyant  chemistry,  mixing patrons  who don't seem  to want to leave, proprietors  who are comfortable  about  what they're offeringo  and a relaxed  staff that rightfully feels  that rushing  through dinner is  like skipping  foreplay."
- Broward/Palm Beach  New  Times,  April 2007




"From the moment  you walk  into Chima Steakhouse  you know  you are  going  to have  a wonderful experience  and  this  is  not your typical Brazilian  steakhouse.  If you have  not been  to an all you can  eat Brazilian  steakhouse,  this  is a must  for this year."
- Washington's  Finest,  Spring  2007

"There  are  no meat  police  at Chima Brazilian  Restaurant  in Fort Lauderdale  only tempters  dressed  as  gauchos  in typical bachas,  white shirts  and kerchiefs,  whisking around skewers  of meat,  tantalizing  our senses  with smoke  and spices.  We were  just overindulging  as  if in a carnivore  nirvana..."
-  The Miami Herald.  Januarv  2007

"From  the  foyer with  its outsized  wooden  chaise  to  the dining  room -- set  off with topiary, a glass-fronted  kitcheno  a wall of wine and a  two-way  panel  showing Brazilian music videos -- the fresh face  makes  an  impressive  fashion  statement."
