As an Asian who just moved from Los Angeles to Osterbro, this shop may be far but is desperately…read moreneeded. Definitely the most selection of Asian groceries and sauces that I've seen thus far! It's even slightly cheaper than the other Asian store by Norreport. Definitely appreciate that they have fresh vegetables and the like in the back at fair prices (for CPH standards). They've got lots of frozen items (dim sum, dumplings, fish balls, etc), seasonings, dried noodles - everything you could possibly need. It reminded me of home. Plan on coming back, even if it's a trek.

Great Asian grocery shop, with a focus on Chinese items. I think it's a restaurant supply store…read morebecause many items come in bulk sizes (10 L of cooking oil, anyone?). Of course, they have normal sized versions as well. The prices are good, and their stock is pretty comparable to other Asian stores in Vesterbro. I think their main attraction is the bulk items (dried mushrooms), and some things which you can buy in multiples at a slight discount (seasonings and such). It was also one of the busiest grocery stores I've been to in a while, but that might be due to the fact that is was a Saturday and the food market was on in Kødbyen.

After a long flight, annoying rain, and basics exhaustion, I was happy to sit and order food…read more We had to order at the bar/front area, then they bring you your food. Warning it has A LOT of cilantro and the cucumber pieces are also really big. The sauce was good and the pork was tasty. Keep in mind it's European portions and not American portions so expect less meat and more veggies. Still good. Almost went back for their banh mi.

Solid place for Vietnamese Street food. Had the pho and split a banh mi with a friend. Even though…read morethere were some flavors missing to make it fully authentic, all were very tasty. When you go here, you order at the bar and find a place to sit. This place gets PACKED so come early.

That being said, they have a great variety for such a small stall. Nice selection of Asian produce in the fridge, as well as House brand tofu! The good stuff! They also have frozen dumplings and proper Japanese rice as well as liter bottles of goma dressing and toasted laver both to snack on and to roll sushi. The shopkeepers range from indifferent/bored to very helpful. Great if you don't have time to go to the shops by the central station, but have a little extra money to blow for the same stuff.

Ok if you're in a rush and just missing that one key ingredient. But it's not a place for regular…read moreshopping to stock the shelves since the selection is small and prices on some items can be twice as high as shops in Vesterbro. Stocks Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese and Thai items. Not bad, I would just personally prefer to go a little out of my way to Vesterbro for a larger and less expensive selection.

YES! A place that has most of the Soviet delights one can crave. Most products are from Lithuania…read moreand Bulgaria, and they know what they're doing. They have great kalbasa, pickles, smoked fish, pelmeni, good vodka selection (most is Bulgarian), and plenty of other random bits like bread for toasting (ie: skol! or "zakustka") and candies as well. It may not perfectly tick your cravings, but it will come very very close. Oh, by the way, they NEVER EVER close - 365 days a year open. Keep that in mind during Xmas, Easter, NEw YEars.

Visited here after the Acne sample sale around the corner. I have never had Banh Mi, because I…read morewould always go for pho if I were in a Vietnamese place. So I don't really have any standards on how good a Banh Mi is supposed to be. I had marinated pork banh mi and ginger tea for lunch. I ordered the pork one because it said it has honey in it. I love honey hehe. However, I could not taste any bit of honey in it... I feel like they could be more generous on the amount of meat. I'm a carnivorous eater, and I like to taste a chunk of meat in my mouth. I'll say Banh Mi was average, I wouldn't say it was remarkably amazing. For the ginger tea, the taste of ginger is really stong, so I guess they put a good amount of ginger in it. Again, I expected honey as it said it has honey.. I think it is a good drink in winter or when you're having your period, but I believe you can make this at home. It is a good drink that will keep you warm when you're wandering in the street

Cute little addition to the many many eateries on Elmegade. The shop is clean and well decorated,…read morewith easy to read signs. You can order from one of four sandwich options: the classic pork, a beef, chicken, or tofu sandwich. Then it's made to order while you wait. You can watch the assembly since all the ingredients are lined up behind the counter. The pork sandwich I had was pretty good, but could have been a little more generous with the meat. Bread was crusty on the outside and soft/chewy on the inside, like a baguette is supposed to be. It's a good size for lunch. It's not the best, it won't blow your mind, but it'll satisfy the banh mi craving. There are other banh mi places in Copenhagen, but this one has a convenient location and you can walk to the lake to enjoy your sandwich. I don't think there's seating inside, but there are outdoor benches. They've also got a small display of snacks, and grocery items like vermicelli and vietnamese coffee.

Nice ethnic shop, oriented toward ex-Yugoslavian (yugo- south, Slavic - Slavics) sub Slavic…read morenations. Since I grew up in communism, we had a lots of products from Yugoslavia. The have very specific culture and gastronomy, connected to (mostly) Orthodox religion. Usually I buy cheese, wine, prshut (cured meat) or sweets there. I especially enjoy buying the Napolitanky- They taste almost like 20 years ago! I was very happy to find this place a few years ago. I'm not sure this is a shop where Danes will regularly go, but before you travel to the Balkans, you should check it out, and educate yourself about food and beverages, so you don't struggle there. You can also rent Balkan DVDs, but if you don't speak a Slavic language, it probably doesn't have much value for you. My rating is high, because there are thousands of ethnic shops, but this one really stuck with a concept, so you can not find anything else there except Slavic products! The service is not the most outgoing and helpful, but this is part of after war syndrome. Hope you enjoy what they have to offer!
