JOY Shinjuku is a churrasco-style Brazilian barbecue restaurant located in Sendagaya, Shibuya (close to Yoyogi and Shinjuku). It is just a few minutes' walk from Yoyogi Station (around 4 minutes) and not far from Shinjuku Station.
What makes ALEGRIA appealing is its “all-you-can-eat” churrasco offering: During dinner, guests can enjoy about 20 different types of meat — beef, pork, chicken, lamb — grilled Brazilian-style and served tableside from large skewers. Along with the meats, there are side items like grilled vegetables, cheese, and even pineapple (abacaxi) for a sweeter finish.
For lunch, on weekends and holidays, they offer a more approachable churrasco all-you-can-eat with fewer options (≈15 varieties) at a lower price. Dinner prices are higher and include more menu variety.
The atmosphere is bright and stylish, with a clean design (white-based décor) making it suitable for group dinners, celebrations, date nights, or casual gatherings. Seating is relatively cozy: about 34 seats available, and it can accommodate stand-up or larger gatherings (up to ~50 people) when arranged.
Their drink offerings are solid: there is a standard drink plan and a “premium” upgrade. Cocktails, beer, and wine are included, along with some higher-end spirits in the premium plan.

in the last weekI had a very positive experience at the Kichijoji branch before, so this time I visited the Shinjuku branch for a dinner course. The restaurant was lively, and because there was a large group of customers, the food was served very quickly, allowing us to enjoy our meal at a good pace. The meat was delicious, of course, but the vegetables were also very tasty, making for a well-balanced meal. The staff's attentiveness was evident, making for a very pleasant experience. My companion was also very satisfied, so we would like to visit again.

in the last weekWe were very satisfied with the generous amount of meat we ate, and having it served at our table added a fun, entertaining touch. Since there were two of us girls, we were incredibly busy chatting and eating! They have branches all over the place, so we'll definitely go again!

in the last weekThis restaurant was so bad that it's impossible to compare it to other Alegria locations. Those who have been to other branches should not expect much. First, the hygiene and organization of the restaurant were inadequate. Specifically, mold was growing on the underside of the lids of the sauce bottles on the tables. The restaurant was not tidy, and salads were left out for extended periods before being served to customers. The menus were sticky and difficult to remove from the menu stand. There are many areas that need improvement as a restaurant. Furthermore, the staff seemed poorly trained, as we heard things dropped more than five times during our meal, making it an uncomfortable experience. Also, the staff were disappointing; some cut the meat undercooked, and grease splattered while cutting the meat (perhaps because the tables were too close together), and pieces of meat fell onto the table. They simply walked away without saying anything. The staff appeared to be drinking wine in the dishwashing area, and drinking in a visible area for customers left a bad impression. (Especially if the service is as inadequate as described above.) It's a shame, as I was looking forward to enjoying my meal. Similar comments were found in past reviews, so I decided to write this to remind customers to check before visiting.
