    Great Chinese restaurant just off the main drag. Prices very reasonable and great selection of dishes. Staff are very friendly and can speak English. I thoroughly enjoyed my dim sum and pork dish with fried rice. I also loved the green tea. Restaurant appeared to be popular with locals as well as tourists. Bank cards are accepted as well as cash.

    This was the worst Chinese restaurant I ever had. The soup bao had no soup at all, in fact it was very dry and the fillings were cold!!!!!This to me was just unforgivable and unprofessional. The duck pot didn’t really taste fresh and the rice was partially cold and hot. Perhaps they should change their microwave!!! Everything was just sloppy. They need a Gordon Ramsay to rescue their kitchen.

    Service is really where it lacks. We were seated at 8h30 and it was 10h30 and we had yet to receive even half the food ordered. Food is good but the quality decreased as the service quality declined.

    Frozen baos, not xiaolongbao with terrible taste, rice never arrived, duck was greasy and with loads of fat instead of meat, prawns were also very greasy. Service was bad and unprofessional and after explaining we were unsatisfied and pointing the mistakes not even an excuse was given. The beer was cold! It was the best part of the dinner. We left without finishing.

    Was terribly disappointed. First, I arrived early when restaurant was empty . This was during the time when restaurants had to check for COVID certs in order to dine indoors. I was shocked that the owner walked around without a mask ( the Nepalese staff had masks on), and when I asked him, he just laughed it off. I asked if he checked for certs, again, he said he is not going to care. 2) my 3 friends arrived 10 mins later and we ordered 6 dishes . In total , only 2 came. The rest took another 1 hr and despite repeated reminders, they kept getting our orders wrong. Restaurant was only half full and the owner couldn’t be bothered to help. In the end, we cancelled the last 2 dishes as we had stayed for 2 hours. 3) the food was not authentic and terribly salty. My friend has an allergy reaction to the MSG used and the staff apologized but didn’t care. 4) many other tables complained about their wrong orders and waiting 45 mins between each dish. It was a circus! Many of us shook our heads and looked at each other in disbelief! Would never ever eat there again. And we aren’t tourists- we live in lisbon. They Sure know how to lose potential loyal guests

    My food was excellent. The portions are plentiful and the quality is top notch. Service was great and the sole server was very attentive. There were only two people working, but I was not busy inside. This was great as our food came out pretty quickly. The music was local music which was great to see. I would certainly return if i am in town next time. You won’t regret a visit here

    Very small servings. 9.50e for a spinach and garlic and they give half a small box... 5 mouthfuls.. Cost them less than 1 euro to make... Pok bambu quite oily

    When Mr Lu is absolutely packed and you're waiting for a table, you may not get the best dining experience. Don't get me wrong. The food and service are very good and consistent. When they're super busy, the quality may slightly suffer. However, this should not deter you. There's plenty of variety. I usually go for the vegetarian options, but the chicken and pork dishes are also very good. Chinese restaurants in Lisbon are a dime a dozen. Mr Lu stands out. You should give it a try. You will walk away very satisfied. It is also very reasonably priced.

    From the beginning i was very uncomfortable there. They throw the menu and a piece of paper on the table without explaining anything. I happened to know, but seriously, weird. We ordered. Starters were not fresh at all. Mains were also kid of dried out. The best thing was the spinach with garlic as it's almost impossible to mess this up. My tea pot was dirty. I ended up leaving hungry.

  • 5/5 Estevao S. 6 months ago on Google • 34 reviews
    The best chinese food I've ever eaten in my whole life. I have been to many chinese restaurants, but this one stood out by far! I really recommend it!

  • 5/5 Zé Miguel S. 4 months ago on Google • 27 reviews
    Delicious Chinese food with fresh ingredients and awesome seasoning. I recommend the rice cake pasta and the crispy mushrooms 🍄

  • 4/5 Giovanna I. 2 years ago on Google • 24 reviews
    We went there for dinner, the restaurant is very clean, calm, and the dishes are really good! We ordered 3 courses, the first one was a hot pan with shrimps and cabbage, then we had the Beijing duck and meat hot steamed dumplings. If I could have eaten more I would have had all the menu because everything looked delicious !!

  • 1/5 PA 7 months ago on Google • 6 reviews
    I asked for rice noodles with praws, easy and simple. It was the worse meal ever. It felt I was eating fake rubber noodles, or noodles heated up for the 3rd time that day, terrible. I was looking forward for a relaxing moment with some simple noodles after a long day of work and this experience totally ruined it. Never again.

    (Translated by Google) Quality is not very good. Some good dishes but many are not quality. Very cheap. Friendly employees. (Original) Qualidade não é muito boa. Alguns pratos bons mas muitos não têm qualidade. Muito barato. Empregados simpáticos.

    This is one of the most random reviews ever, but this is the best Chinese food I've ever had. We've been here twice and both times Mr. Lu was here and in the kitchen. The food is so flavorful and cooked perfectly. Each time we ordered several dishes and shared with the table. Although both times we ordered the garlic shrimp which is phenomenal.

    A nice asian restaurant!

  • 5/5 Judit S. 3 years ago on Google
    We were 2 and we shared a rice noodle fried and the duck pancakes and it was so good! We paid 10€ each, including a couple Chinese beers (whose branding was holographic <3) Very nice staff as well, I’m definitely coming back :)

  • 5/5 Max N. 1 year ago on Google
    Very tasty food and rather big portions, especially the Sesame Fried Chicken and the dumplings! Friendly and talkstive staff, who delivered the food quickly. Reasonable prices and many vegetarian options. Overall a great experience, would go there again.

  • 5/5 Filipe V. 1 year ago on Google
    We just come for real Chinese noodles fix and we were not disappointed. Real Asian flavours #yummy

  • 4/5 Kisha R. 1 year ago on Google
    Very cute asian place, cosy environment with authentic flavours, (as someone from an asian background).

  • 1/5 Shuya F. 1 year ago on Google
    So salty, It's don't like the real chinese food, it feels so bad.

  • 2/5 Pedro C. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the worst Chinese restaurants I've ever tried. And it was expensive, because they don't have "menu do dia"

  • 2/5 Paul L. 1 year ago on Google
    Low quality food: 1) the beef I ordered tastes a bit sour, indicating its not very fresh 2) fried noodle very greasy 3) canned bamboo shoots in the food tastes sour because they were not thoroughly washed before being used If you look for quality Asian food, look elsewhere. Very disappointed.

  • 5/5 Hugo A. 1 year ago on Google
    Very Chinese restaurant, were Chinese people go to eat! That is some hint that it's a good restaurant. The food is good, the environment is friendly, as is the service.

  • 5/5 Abeer Al M. 1 year ago on Google
    I love this place. The plate are generous and super tasty. Highly recommended.

  • 2/5 Richard E. 7 months ago on Google
    Salty greasy food, made without flair or care... Big lumps of uncooked uncut onion in my tofu. Unfriendly older woman at the till gave me the bill for another table, then got irritated as if it was my fault! Revolting decor. Avoid this place, plenty of better options in Almirante Reis/Martim Moniz

  • 2/5 João C. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Table service is not fantastic. After ordering sweet fish that arrived 20 minutes late after all the other dishes, we asked to heat the rice. He never came back from the microwave. We had to move on to desserts without accompanying the fish with the rice we asked to warm up. Not to repeat ... (Original) Serviço de mesa não e fantástico. Depois de pedirmos peixe doce que chegou atrasado 20 minutos depois de todos os outros pratos pedimos para aquecer o arroz. Nunca voltou do micro ondas. Tivemos que avançar para as sobremesas sem acompanhar o peixe com o arroz que pedimos para aquecer. Para não repetir...

  • 1/5 Fabio S. 3 years ago on Google
    Worst experience ever in a restaurant. We've seated behind a aquarium that was full of dust and it seemed the water was there for ages. The food was OK, as a vegetarian can't complaint. In any moment the waiter come to the table to ask if we needed anything else, if it was all good with the food. One of the waiters was more interested in checking her phone then giving atenttion to the customers. For dessert we had a fried ice cream, it was 4 euro in the bin, it was not good at all. I asked them to bring the leftover home, the guy simply went in the kitchen and come back and threw on the table a recipient. There was a couple close to us smoking an electronic cigatette super smelly, in any moment they were asked to stop. To close with a golden key, the only two waiters in the restaurant decided to have their dinner while we and other customers were there. When paying for the bill, the woman was pretty upset that she had to stop her dinner to come and receive the money LOL she simply threw the receipt in the counter. I mean, so long I haven't been out for a dinner, because the whole global pandemic, at least I was waiting for a little bit more of respect and CLEANING and proper procedures towards the guests in there. I see here in the page 5 stars from many clients, that is why I was there, but definitly for a WHOLE dinner experience out with friends or even on your own, it is NOT worth. There are so many other GOOD restaurants same type of food and with a really good staff service that values the customer and their loyalty. So before you get in here RE-think twice.

  • 2/5 omri t. 3 years ago on Google
    Its a mystery how some one can eat in this place more than once. This might be considered a good Chinese only in lisbon or Italy.

  • 5/5 Micaela A. 4 years ago on Google
    Probably the best Chinese restaurant in town, although not the most known. Always has lots of Chinese customers - that's how you know the place is good.

  • 5/5 Helena A. 4 years ago on Google
    Their food is among the best I've had in Lissabon. The customer service we had was beyond expectations, especially from a girl that was constantly checking up on us. We had no waiting time and they were more than friendly. I would recommend this place to everyone that likes Chinese food. Thanks a lot especially to Rianna. Wish I wouldn't have moved so far away so I could visit you often.

  • 3/5 JOÃO L. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Second or third visit, long after the last one, left the impression that it is more of a Chinese restaurant. Mr Lu may be an award-winning chef but does not apply today as he did when he was recognized. (Original) Segunda ou terceira visita, muito tempo após a última, deixou a impressão de que é mais um restaurante chinês. O Mr Lu talvez seja um chefe premiado mas não se aplica hoje como quando foi reconhecido.

  • 5/5 Miguel C. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The gastronomy is genuine, despite one or the other necessary adaptation of ingredients from this part of the globe. A real Chinese restaurant. Prices can be a little high for a couple, or people alone who want to experience a little bit of everything. Therefore, a group visit is recommended, or even better with the family. (Original) A gastronomia é genuína, apesar de uma ou outra adaptação, necessária, de ingredientes desta zona do globo. Um verdadeiro restaurante chinês. Os preços podem ser um pouco elevados para um casal, ou pessoas sozinhas que queiram experimentar um pouco de tudo . Recomenda-se por isso uma visita em grupo, ou melhor ainda em família.

    Very good meal, but you have to have lots of patience with the staff. Staff is nice, polite but they tend to do mess with what you order. Mr. Lugar is a place I go for years and I always come back but if you get stressed with not getting what you've asked so... Be prepared. The food is really good and I believe it pays the effort.
