About This Spot
Stepping into Tim Tim, tucked away in the corners of Albufeira’s quiet neighborhood, feels a little like uncovering a treasured hideaway. The pace here is unhurried, the atmosphere easygoing, wrapped in the subtle hum of friendly chatter and the inviting clink of dishes being shared. It’s a place where the warmth of attentive service meets the pleasure of savoring familiar flavors introduced with thoughtful care.
This Chinese spot invites visitors to settle in and explore its menu as a journey through a variety of textures and tastes—whether you find yourself delighted by the crisp, lacquered skin of the Peking Duck or enveloped in the comforting warmth of a tender chicken curry. The dishes arrive generously portioned, encouraging you to linger over bites and conversation, discovering the harmony of rich, savory notes and the occasional playful twist in sweet desserts meant to be savored at a relaxed pace.

The restaurant’s modest yet inviting space complements this, offering a measured rhythm that makes every visit feel like catching up with an old friend over a familiar feast.

It’s found in the gentle attentiveness of the staff, the subtle background aromas that promise both comfort and adventure, and the easy smiles that greet you upon arrival. Such a setting feels just right for those who appreciate authenticity served with modest pride and a focus on the simple joy of coming together around a thoughtfully prepared meal.

What a lovely place. The buffet isn’t the largest range at all but it was enough for me and the kids. The quality of the food was excellent and wasn’t too busy. I’d recommend!

Our waiting time was a bit long but probably because they just opened restaurant. Big dishes really, amazing taste of fried noodles with chicken really enjoyed, staff friendly. Only one minus, you can't pay VISA, must be Mastercard.

Freshly prepared and flavorful Chinese food. One of the best crispy Peking duck platters we've had in Portugal... Definitely recommend. We visited in November low season (no buffet) and food was still wonderful, although service was inattentive and distracted by other tasks in the empty restaurant.

Service was fantastic as was the food . We enjoyed every dish. This is the best Chinese we’ve have eaten in Albufeira. Offered complimentary whiskey or port when we got the bill. Very good experience .

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. 1. 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. 2. The staff is nice and friendly. 3. Free restroom. 4. They have indoor and outdoor seatings. 5. Dine-in and take-away are available.
