Kilo Astoria

I didn't plan on eating here, but the smell of cooking meat drew me inside. I didn't regret that decision. Kilo is an appropriate name, because you get a considerable amount of food for what you pay. Now, mind you, this isn't the type of place that serves Waygu, but the steak is excellent. This is where I go to scratch my beef itch now.

Took the family for a night out in Astoria and was in the mood for Brazilian food. Found this nice restaurant on Yelp and decided to take a chance. We chose to sit outside to enjoy the beautiful weather and proceeded to order some food. My Picanha was served on a cast-iron skillet and it was outstanding (would definitely order again)! Everyone else ordered something different and enjoyed their food. The overall consensus was the black beans were a little salty but everything was great, including the atmosphere and the waiter. Note that although the kids entrees are a little pricy compared to chain restaurants, the portions delivered would satisfy most adults! This restaurant comes highly recommended!

I am a huge coxinha (a very tradicional snack in Brazil, a cooked dough filled with chicken, of course, deep fried) enthusiast, and I risk to say that here by far is the best one I have tried in NYC. So my stars are for the coxinha. Haven’t tried other things. Maybe in another visit. Today just coxinhas and beer. Cheers.

Kilo is probably my go to place when I'm feeling carnivorous. It used to be a buffet and they weighed your plate by the kilo but because of covid, no buffet. Just a regular restaurant but still just as delicious! The service was great. The crowd is very much older and loves to get wasted. 100% here for it, though. Felt a bit more expensive than when I used to be able to bring my own container, but definitely worth it!

The food and experience was amazing. The pineapple salmon was the best salmon I’ve ever had and I would recommend it to anyone reading this. The service was phenomenal and my waitress Fran made my experience ten times more enjoyable. Fran was very friendly, warm, and welcoming and I’m so thankful that she served us tonight. My final thoughts: the food was spectacular, I would definitely come here again no matter how far it is from me, and Fran is a queen. Stan Fran.
