Chima Steakhouse

In Tysons Corner, Chima Steakhouse is a Brazilian rodízio steakhouse for diners who want a steakhouse meal built around variety rather than a single plated entrée. At $75 per person, it is best considered when the group wants the rodízio format, smart casual dress, a meal centered on Chima signatures.

The strongest case for booking is the format. Brazilian rodízio works well when diners want variety without negotiating a shared order. The signature items give enough direction for first-timers: Top Sirloin, known as Picanha, Top Sirloin with Garlic, Top Sirloin with Jalapeños, Filet Mignon wrapped in bacon, Lamb Picanha, grilled pineapple with cinnamon are the anchors to prioritize if the table is pacing itself.

For a special occasion, the appeal is practical rather than subtle. The format gives the meal a built-in sense of movement, which can suit celebrations better than a quiet plate-by-plate meal. For broader planning around the area, the Tysons Corner restaurants guide is a useful companion.

Earlier hours or evening hours: choose by occasion

Chima Steakhouse lists afternoon and evening service windows throughout the week. The published schedule is Monday through Thursday from 12–3 PM and 5:30–9 PM, Friday from 12–3 PM and 4–10 PM, Saturday from 11:30 AM–3 PM and 4–10 PM, Sunday from 11:30 AM–3 PM and 4–9 PM.

Choose the earlier service window if the table wants the rodízio experience during the day, choose dinner when the meal is meant to feel more like an occasion. Larger celebrations can benefit from a format where the table does not have to coordinate separate entrées or debate a shared order. Diners who prefer a quieter meal should consider timing carefully and confirm current details before going.

What to order when the servers keep coming

The main mistake at a rodízio is treating every pass like a final chance. Keep the first round measured. Picanha should be the priority because it is central to the Brazilian steakhouse format, followed by the garlic or jalapeño variations if the table wants more seasoning. Filet Mignon wrapped in bacon is the richer move, Lamb Picanha brings another lane, grilled pineapple with cinnamon is useful between heavier cuts rather than only at the end.

Chima Steakhouse has a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence for 2026, which is the clearest external recognition attached to the venue details. The core reason to book remains the Brazilian rodízio steakhouse format at $75 per person.

Who should book, who should skip it

Book if the table wants a Brazilian rodízio meal with built-in variety, a smart casual dress expectation, signature cuts such as Picanha, garlic or jalapeño top sirloin, bacon-wrapped filet mignon, lamb picanha, grilled pineapple with cinnamon. This is a strong fit for diners who want the Chima Steakhouse format in Tysons Corner. Skip it if the group is looking for a conventional à la carte steakhouse meal or a slower course-by-course format.
