Sabor Oriental — Restaurant in Lisbon

Look, it's Chinese. If you want atmosphere, you are in the wrong restaurant. The place is small and cramped, all right, space-efficient, you will sit with elbows touching the neighboring tables. If you can look past that, this is a great Chinese restaurant.

The food is definitely Chinese cuisine, with authentic ingredients and cooking techniques, though there is quite a degree of fusing various region dishes. The selection is mostly Dongbei and Sichuan.

I am willing to take the subway to eat during my lunch break, which is...

The biggest downside is that they used a different type of yam/sweet potato where it felt a bit...
