Ramen Joe — Restaurant in Lisbon

I would give this 4.5 stars. This location, in Campo Pequeno, only accepts cash for foreign card holders and EU or Portuguese cards only. The waitress let us know in advance to avoid an awkward situation at the end. There is an ATM across the street. It was a little confusing to find at first too.

When we got the bill, they charged us for the missing starter and the wrong dish, which was more expensive. To make matters worse, my friend got sick afterward. Not...
