My husband and I are from the US, and we spent 2 weeks in Lisbon about 4 or 5 years ago. One day, we decided to take the train from Lisbon to Sintra, and after touring the main sights at Sintra, we headed back to the train station. We saw this Chinese restaurant about a block from the station, and decided to eat there, rather than go back to Lisbon to eat. So glad we did! What a phenomenal experience! The food was absolutely amazing, and the dishes were so fresh, that they could not have been any better. Their egg rolls were among the best we have ever had, and the "Chinese salad" was not really a salad, but a warm vegetarian melange. Other dishes were equally delicious! Spectacular! It was so good, that a few days later, we took the train to Sintra again, just for this restaurant! Don't miss it if you are near the train station at Sintra!!!!! Wonderful!!! You won't be...

Spring roll sauce was a bit weird I think, and...
Read moreDid 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...
