Tim Tim — Restaurant in Albufeira

I am Chinese myself and this is the worst dinner I have ever had in Europe. The food itself is super artificial, beef tastes like with tons of tenderizer(so it could be more tender), mushrooms not dealt properly (it must be sunk in the water for enough time), and fried sauer-sweet pork soggy which only be heated and covered with warm juice.

The young girl, I don’t understand at all why she always implies something in the conversation, my friend and I asked a few questions before the ordering (such as what do you recommend or which Chinese cuisine system you are good at so we can figure out what we can order, because the menu is suuuuuper thick), then she said in Chinese that “did you guys come from China directly? because I would like to say that it’s impossible to get genuine Chinese cuisine here in Europe and I want to make that clear first.” She then brought up about some pork cuisine, which she didn’t express it very clear so I asked further again that is this Portugal cuisine or Chinese, she was like “there’s no reason to ask since you are already in a Chinese cuisine restaurant.”

I don’t even know where to start, I could say I’ve never tasted this terrible thing in my whole life, not even mention with the service. Why always say something with such attitude and let your customers think you are very “smart” or “good at talking”?

Chinese food industry in Europe is already very mature, so please don’t define it if you don’t know the picture. To be honest I can get by if there’s only bad food, but I even felt a bit...

We finished our appointment in AIMA Albufeira almost 1 PM and decided to have lunch here because it was only few meters away from our location. Surprisingly no customers were inside. After looking at the menu and shor discussion, we decided to dine-in here.

We chose a menu for 2 pax for 28,95 euros. It has 1 rice, 3 main dishes, and some fried wonton. The portion of the rice was too little for the quantity of the main dishes. Maybe it is better to order normal manu with rice separately. The shrimp curry was tasty. The chicken with agridoce sauce was not really my taste.

The staff is nice and friendly.

Free restroom.

They have indoor and outdoor seatings.

Dine-in and take-away...

Long review but worth a read; Firstly even though this isn't the biggest Chinese buffet by far, it is deffinately the tastiest one I have ever been too, the food is well cooked and regularly fresh, there isn't LOADS of choice but the choice is still good and varied. The staff are very polite and friendly and will easily have a laugh with you, the price of drinks is very reasonable aswell considering it is a Buffet, with the price of a pint of coke being €2.80, personally I think this is not only the best Chinese in Albufiera but the best I've ever been to, a must visit when local !! 5 Star and I will be...
