THE OLD HOUSE em Lisboa

Pros 1) this is a nice well decorated restaurant with plenty of space inside and out. 2) Good location on the waterfront. 3) service is good and pretty quick. 4) the menu is large with lots of options Cons 1) the dishes are not consistent and range from good to pretty mediocre so you really know what to order. 2) pricing is on the higher side. 3) the peking duck which is supposed to be a treat, was bland. Overall we would probably visit The Old House again but would restrict ourselves to the following dishes which stood out: Spicy wonton. Savory noodles. Pork in sweet bean sauce. Green beans with spicy pork. Enjoy

This is the best Chinese food we’ve had in our three years in Portugal and some of the best we’ve ever had. The beef dish we got (what we would call Mongolian beef) was superb, honestly the best I’ve ever had. I ordered the gyoza which turned out to be more like what we would call won ton soup, but it was good. They have indoor and outdoor seating and was a delightful experience.
