    The taste of the food swings between two extremes. #1 The spring roll and #14 spicy sour soup are tasteless. They neither used oyster sauce nor vermicelli nor meat in spring roll. #24 The chopsuey fried rice and #43a beef with hot sauce are tasty. The volume is quite big and serving speed is so quick.

    Did a day-trip to Sintra - very average place. I was encouraged to see someone from mainland China eat there, so I figured it has to be good. They even told us it was good :( Ordered their spicy chicken and fried rice - the sauce had a stale taste to it - don't know if it was an old batch or something but the whole dish tasted terrible. I asked the host about it and he said that's how it normally tastes. The fried rice was ok, anyway, I suffered through the meal to eat enough to last me a couple hours till I get back to Lisbon. My wife was ok with her shrimp dish but she didn't particularly enjoy it. Anyways, we had a bus to catch so we paid up and decided to leave.

    Best value meals in Sintra. We've been eating here for two straight days now as we were always satisfied with our orders. Pleasantly surprised to have a good Chinese restaurant in Sintra. For our first lunch we got their weekday lunch menu Shop Suey Chicken (with mixed vegetables) and beef noodles for around €6 each. Total bill was around €13 for two dishes with a Coke. My chicken was tasty and well seasoned but a bit too oily. For dinner we had Beef Broccoli and sweet and sour chicken from their main menu. We found that the main dishes had more meat in them than the lunch menu. Adding two fried rice and a bottle of house white wine, our bill was €18 for two. We enjoyed both dishes and the house wine was actually bottled wine. Quick service as I expected from a Chinese restaurant. Waiter also very helpful on choosing which dish. Spring roll sauce was a bit weird I think, and again too oily.

    This place will only take cash. But you will not know this until you have to pay. You then need to use the ATM at a charge of €4.95 if you don’t carry cash in you. Very poor service also, hardly anyone in the restaurant and took some time to get served. There are far better restaurants in Sintra than this one.

    We had: wonton soup, house special fried rice and sweet and sour pork. The fried rice was me personal favorite it was SO delicious and all that for 18,- including drinks! Unfortunately we noticed not many customers which is such a pity because it is a good place very underrated!

    The Chinese food is amazing here. We went back on consecutive days for dinner. The prices are reasonable and affordable. The ice cream desserts are good too and the owner is very nice and friendly. We liked the sweet and sour pork/ chicken, fried rice and fried noodle. This is not just the best Chinese food we ate at Sintra but also one of the best we ate in Portugal. Keep it up!

    An absolutely incredible family-run Chinese restaurant. All our dishes were delicious and great value for money. We couldn't finish all our food and they let us take it away! Would highly recommend.

    (Translated by Google) The boss speaks Chinese, and the menu is in Chinese. Both the boss and the proprietress are very polite. After coming to Portugal for more than 10 days, I finally had Chinese food. The portion is large and the price is affordable. 👍👍👍👍👍 (Original) 老闆講中文,菜單有中文,老闆跟老闆娘人都非常的客氣,來到葡萄牙10多天終於吃到中式料理了,份量大價格實惠。👍👍👍👍👍

    We were apprehensive about getting chinese food in a small town in Portugal. Turns out the good was delicious. We were worried about missing our train at 750pm. We sat down at 720pm and were out by 740pm. I could see from my seat everything was made to order and not precooked which is amazing considering how fast it came out. Service was excellent considering we were in a rush. The young lady was very polite. For two people: bottle water, soups, fried rice dish and a chicken dish was about 15 Euro. It was all filling. Bad: they dont take credit cards I wish i could find a place this good next to me.

    We enjoyed a wonderful meal and friendly, helpful, efficient service. The food was freshly prepared, hot and delicious. Spring rolls were very good. The house special fried rice was delicious with a nice mix of chicken, beef and shrimp. All very moist and tender. The pork with broccoli was also delicious and flavorful with a light sauce, not overly salty. We decided to add a fried ice cream for dessert and very glad we did! It was delicious and just enough to share. Beer and wine were good. Prices were definitely reasonable for the great quality and flavor! Would definitely recommend and would certainly eat here again!

    Absolute outstanding. Never seen so low prices and such good food. I can recommended the Hot and Sour Soup(pretty hot) and Chicken with Garlic on iron plate. I would eat here every day 👌 The owner and his family's also eat in the restaurant(for dinner) so it's very authentic.

    Super tasty food. The portion are quite big and the choices in the menu more than one can imagine. The owner also gave us suggestions for the plates.

    It tastes good as a Chinese fried noodle but it was a bit salty for my taste. The waiter is very friendly as well

  • 3/5 Vivek P. 5 months ago on Google
    This place is really convenient and very reasonably priced. They bring out the dishes as they are ready, which is nice from a temperature standpoint, but our fried rice arrived first, and had cooled before the rest of the meal arrived. The bigger issue was that everything was bland. Our rice noodles were vermicelli style, and did not retain heat well. The dishes were onion-heavy and light on other vegetable.

    I saw one of their staff eating egg noodles or “chow mein” at lunch hour. I said I’ll take an order of that. I wanted it for takeout. They handed me rice vermicelli noodles instead. I’m Chinese myself. It was good taste but very few shrimp & mostly rice noodles for the price I paid.

    One of the best Chinese restaurants in the area. Visually stunning with traditional decor. Affordable and delicious lunch specials, attentive and pleasant English speaking staff.

  • 5/5 smallmovez m. 2 years ago on Google
    Such a pleasant treat to have some international cuisine in this historical city. It's so nice to have something besides traditional, burgers and pizza to choose from. The food quality was top notch. The selection was large. The service was fast and polite. THE PRICES WERE PERFECT, unlike most of the over priced tourist trap restaurants in the city center. Will 💯 return. Thank you for the great meal. My wife and I loved it ❤️

    Nice Chinese restaurant right across the street from the Sintra train station! Came here for a quick lunch before hiking to Pena Park. It was quite empty when we came to lunch. The menu is extensive with decent prices under 10€. I had the garlic shrimp and ordered a separate side of rice. The shrimp was tasty but the rice was a bit dry.

    This restaurant should be called lucky. Only on short occasions is the food fresh. We had lunch on Sunday and the meal was disgusting. Fit for pigs. Complained to waitress but all we got was sorry but had to pay the bill. Must avoid
