After a long flight, annoying rain, and basics exhaustion, I was happy to sit and order food. 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. read more

Solid place for Vietnamese Street food. Had the pho and split a banh mi with a friend. Even though there 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. read more

We came here tonight for dinner while on vacation in Copenhagen. We got there around 830 and unfortunately they were out of all their banh mi. We got the chicken vermicelli bowl and the pho. Both of the dishes were delicious and packed with flavor. The pho had a rich broth with plenty of beef and noodles. Adding hoisin and some sriracha were the perfect accompaniments. The vermicelli bowl was slightly spicy and had a delicious sauce on it. Both dishes had plenty of veggies in them (particularly the vermicelli bowl) and I particularly liked the pickled carrots in the vermicelli bowl. You order at the counter when you get here and then find a table. They had about a dozen tables so despite the place being busy, it wasn't hard to find a seat. I definitely recommend this place if you're craving some Vietnamese food. You won't be disappointed. read more

Recommended for street food enthusiasts. (Street foodies?) On our visit, I enjoyed a lemon chicken banh mi while my wife had a vermicelli bowl with chicken. Both were very fresh & flavorful, and portions were generous. The spice levels on both will creep up on you a bit, but nothing over the top. Traveler Tip: Great choice for lunch before Amalienborg Palace, Frederiks Kirke, Designmuseum and/or Kastellet. You won't be hungry before dinner. read more

District Tonkin - My banh mi. This one's for the cilantro fans. - Vietnamese Near Me - Copenhagen, 84

Cute little atmosphere and beautiful presentation of food. It was a different experience, you either stand at the register to order or you can sit and then come back up to place your order. If you need anything extra you have to get up from your table and ask for it. I didn't see a single Asian person in the kitchen. My pho lacked any traditional base and when I asked for some fish sauce, I was given a dipping sauce for egg rolls. My husband ordered the spicy beef soup that came with bread and the bread was the best part of the meal. It appears that they used the same broth, but added more pepper flakes for spice. I understand that this is probably great for first-timers or if you're not familiar with what and how true authentic pho should be. As for my personal experiences, I would stick with the baguettes here. read more

We came here for a quick lunch after I browsed thru Yelp in current Location mode. The place is decorated very simple and cute. The menu is short and sweet, straight to the point. We took a sandwich and 2 vermicelli bowls, beef & chicken and they were quite delicious with very fresh ingredients. I definitely recommend this place for lunch read more

This was a pretty good spot to grab dinner on a cold evening in Copenhagen. I had the beef stew & my sister had the pho. Both dishes were quite tasty, though I preferred the stew. (I've had better pho in the states/elsewhere, but that's not too surprising...) The beef stew was very hearty and came with a very large piece of bread for dipping! It was a perfect dish to warm up from the cold. We also shared the egg rolls which were actually quite good. The service was quick and friendly. The interior is dimly lit & warm with a laid-back feel. Seemed like a place locals frequent, which is always a good sign. If you're in the mood for comfort food in CPH, District Tonkin is a solid choice! [90/100] read more

This is the actual Banh Mi cafe instead of the Concept shop (I think). Tucked away in the basement floor, a really short walk from Amalienborg. I came here without much expectations and was pleasantly surprised! The traditional banh mi sandwich, beef stew, and Vietnamese coffee all tasted quite authentic. Not the best Ive ever had but hit the right spots. The baguettes were fresh and crunchy. Serving portion was perfectly filling. Atmosphere was really casual and warm with modern house mixes playing in the background. There are not too many tables, maybe can accommodate up to 30 customers? If I lived here, I would def come back again :) read more

Wow! Just wow! Thats how I'll start off this review. I had heard so many people talking about District Tonkin and how amazing it was that I had to go and see what everyone was talking about. I was definitely not disappointed! I ordered the Banh Mi with beef with an iced coffee and my boyfriend ordered the Bun Nam Bo with chicken with a lemonade. The very first bite of the sandwich (banh mi) was seriously so unbelievably good! So many flavors hit you all at once, and it's basically just a party in your mouth. The beef is so tasty and has the perfect marinade on it. It's all so fresh tasting with the different veggies & cilantro on top that it's (in my opinion) the perfect lunch. The Bun Nam Bo was equally as amazing. The warm noodles & chicken mixed with all the cold veggies and all the flavors is pure heaven. I can't decide which one I liked better. They are both just pure perfection and if you're reading this debating on if you should go try it, don't hesitate and go try it! Either of the two food options are a great option to choose. The lemonade was really refreshing as well, the iced coffee wasn't my favorite however but the place still gets 5 stars, because.. Yum! read more

Delicious, fresh Vietnamese food - as close to Vietnam as you can get in Copenhagen! The Traditional Bahn Mi sandwich was tasty and an impressive size. Definitely a good sized lunch. I had forgotten how Vietnamese filter coffee is traditionally served until it arrived in front of me, complete with delicate aluminium top-of-cup filter already trickling down onto a small layer of condensed milk. The filter cup was a little full, but that just gave me an excuse to drink some coffee quickly - not a bad thing for me! The restaurant itself was not huge, but there was plenty of room for a lunch crowd. Clean and cozy with nice decorations, and very friendly staff. read more

I loved the Vegetarian Bahn Mi here. I ordered mine with extra mayo because I'm one of those people that always needs extra. The Bahn Mi is huge and has all of the yummy traditional Bahn Mi ingredients just pouring out. I loved the texture of the baguette. It was Crispy, airy and soft. The tofu I wish was crispy but it was still okay the way it was which was soft and cut thinly. I'll be back here. read more

This Vietnamese place was authentic which I greatly enjoyed. There isn't a ton of seating since the location is small. I had the noodles and grilled beef which was served with fish sauce. I liked this dish and was similar ones I've had at home. read more

Nice and quiet place with chill music, we really enjoyed our meal there. We took 2 banh mis and they were tasty, spicy and crispy as you would expect traditional vietnamese sandwiches to be. Each ingredient has its own flavour and makes the sandwich delicious. For the spicy lovers, you can find sriracha sauce on every table. If you're thirsty, try the vietnamese lemonade. Prices are correct, to me it's good quality food! read more

District Tonkin - Omelet banh mi and vietnamese lemonade - Vietnamese Near Me - Copenhagen, 84

I am glad that I ate my first Bahn mi sandwich (Vietnam sandwiches) here. A small menu card is always a good sign. There were only eight dishes on the menu (apart from deserts and drinks), so it was pretty easy to choose one from the list. I haven't had many protein meals lately, so I decided to get the grilled beef menu. I knew from the beginning that my mouth would suffer if I ate the baguette (Although it was warm and quite crispy ＼（＾ ＾）／). The sandwich was good. An excellent beef cut, not chewy (no sinew). I like the combination of long and slim cuts of the fresh cilantro, leeks, green onions, cucumbers, chilies (although not the Jalapenos), as well as the pickled carrots. A unique taste, but it works. Their Tonkin sauce was also good. I didn't realize it was there until I was half way down my baguette, and then it started to drip. The sauce was sweet and sour, unlike the typical spring roll sweet and sour red sauce; this was not as thick, and it was mixed with oil too. The heat was perfect (which I wouldn't have expected). If you are not that good with spicy sauce, then order some warm tea (which was also nice). It should help calmed your tongue ^^. I didn't order the Vietnamese coffee because I know I'll get a bloated stomach :( But you should try it. You use a small coffee pot that is called a Vietnamese filter. It looks like a hat and sits on top of a coffee cup. Inside is a chamber for coffee and room for hot water. It is very basic and simple. The white liquid at the bottom of a coffee cup is the condensed milk. I didn't take a picture. But it is an easy find on Google. A little tip for beginners: Tuck in everything into the baguette, and squeeze some Sriracha sauce before you eat the sandwich. read more

Awesome pho. Great for warm soup/noodle on a gloomy and windy day.

Eating here was....an experience. I came with a party of 4. It was difficult to find a seat, so we sat outside at little kids tables initially... then moved inside after stalking a table for a bit. For the four of us, we had one beef pho (tasty but could have used more spice ), one chicken banh mi (good crusty bread, nice sauce) , and one veggie noodle salad plus a couple drinks( the mango being the tastiest).... the food was all fairly tasty with decent sized portions, but the prices were ridiculous! When we did the conversion later, we found we had spent 80$ USD!! That's a bit outrageous given that pho typically costs about 5$ in the US. We were shocked! Anyway, I know things are more expensive in Denmark, but this felt extreme. Anyway, I wouldn't not recommend this restaurant, but if you do go, know what you're getting into. read more

We tried two different bánh mì (sandwiches/baguettes) - the bánh mì xá xíu (BBQ pork) and bánh mì thit bò nuóng (grilled beef). Really good both of them. Juicy and with Sriracha sauce etc on the side - you can use as much as you want. I definitely coming back here. A perfect lunch stop. Moreover, they also got cà phê sua dá (ice coffee made with condensed milk). read more

Had a terrible hankering for Pho soup one night, and the only real Vietnamese place in the neighborhood was District Tonkin. While it seemed to cater mainly to the nearby offices for lunch, it's sparingly populated menu cart still sported a few decent choices outside of sandwiches. We had the meatballs, and the stew and a rice noodle soup. Our attempt to find a good Pho wasn't succesful really, but it turned out that mixing the rice noodle soup and the meat balls got us pretty close. My girlfriend is the resident Pho expert, and she declared it a success. We came back another day for another round of meatballs - really an excellent dish. Especially with added hot sauce. All the hot dishes come with a big loaf of bread, more than plenty for even a slightly above sized lumberjack, should one of those happen to traverse the streets of Poshtown Copenhagen. Speaking of, prices were on the steeper end of medium. Not shocking, location taken into consideration. But the quality of the food lived up to the price, so it was all good. As a post scriptum, I know it's not that usual to mention, but the six year old gave me amble opportunity to observe this: the bathroom facilities are pretty good for such a small place. read more

Very nice noodles salad, a lot of taste!!! Im a fan!! Service is good, good prices and funny decor. Sandwiches are also good. read more

Charming, affordable, fresh, delicious, good service. I had and can highly recommend the Traditional Banh Mi sandwich. It was a great value for and full of fresh coriander (cilantro where I come from). I like my sandwich spicy and balanced it with the cool and yummy avocado smoothie - made with avocado and condensed milk. Wasn't too sweet and not too thick - perfect contrast to the chili heat of my sandwich. Friends enjoyed the cold rice noodle salads which I will go for next time! read more

After two weeks of eating delicious but bland Scandinavian food, I was looking for food with spice and heat. I desperately wanted some vegetables and this place delivered! I ordered the house salad, which was full of mixed greens, cilantro, edamame, and cauliflower. The dressing was just amazing: tangy with lots of flavor. The portion was quite generous, though not what I would consider cheap (74dkk). I also ordered the traditional banh mi, which was a great value (54dkk) for the portion. Their banh MI is bigger and tastier than what I normally have in NYC! This place tends to be more generous with their vege toppings with a spicy kick. The baguette tastes like real French baguette, too, nicely toasted. All in all a great Vietnamese cafe. Highly recommended for a quick lunch! read more

Great good, excellent service and trendy ambiance. It was an unexpected find in a pricey neighborhood with more traditional restaurants and it did not disappoint. The traditional bahn mi was spicy, savory, and sweet all in one bite. All the tastes I was hoping for. As an extra bonus, they gave us a dessert which was out of this world. I cannot wait to come back on my next trip to Copenhagen. read more

Delicious restaurant with a sweet owner who prepares the food by tasting it herself to ensure the quality of the cuisine stays excellent. She recommended me and my fiancé a few other restaurants during a chat towards the end of our wonderful meal and they were all fantastic: she has great taste! Best Vietnamese food I have ever had! Definitely would make a trip back to Copenhagen just to eat here and chat with the owner! Do not let this amazing restaurant pass you by! read more

Went to DT for dinner. I ate a sandwich (B1) with BBQ. The staff was very welcoming and the setting was inviting. The sandwich filled me up and was very tasty. It was quite spicy, but I like that and it seemed in tune with the theme of the restaurant. The ingredients were fresh and delicious. The prices are really low. It is a little gem in an otherwise overpriced and old fashioned neighborhood in terms of dining. Excellent! read more

The creative owners converted their basement location into a trendy dinner spot with great prices (especially by Copenhagen standards). Though packed on a Saturday night they seated our party of 3 immediately. All tables are shared, which added to the fun. We chose from three variations of one dish: a packed Vietnamese fresh salad bowl with beef, chicken or tofu. It's mostly salad, by the way (not much beef or chicken) but what a a tasty, healthy, quick meal. Wine and bottled beer available. Dinner for 3 with 3 bowls, 2 glasses of wine and 3 beers was only US$75. Sorry we missed the dessert but we were full! A fun place we'd definitely visit again. read more

District Tonkin - Vietnamese fresh salad bowls: 2 beef and 1 chicken below. Not much meat but that's a good thing when it's super fresh, tasty and healthy! - Vietnamese Near Me - Copenhagen, 84

Tasty food, great prices and kind staff! We started with the Bahn Mi, Asian style baguettes - crispy and quite good, however I would consider it more of a snack, so if you're a marathon runner I would suggest adding another dish to the table. Then we had the beef salad - fresh and a lot of taste, reminds me of the Vietnamese food I've had in Asia, i. e. They know their Asian cuisine and the environment is calm and relaxing. The staff is very friendly and services minded. If there is anything to complain about they forgot one of our orders, but that can happen to anyone. read more

Feels authentic, looks authentic, could taste authentic but didn't. Their Ca Phe Sua Da is on point though. Got a Banh Mi Dac Biet, not enough meat, and lacks that "Maggie" sauce to get a fourth star. Cool atmosphere still. read more

Loved their banh mi! Initially we wanted something soupy, but their pho is only served during dinner, so we all had banh mi instead. I'm not a sandwich person usually but I loved my banh mi with omelet. Yummmmmmm read more

I had the beef stew, which was a really decent price for the area. I thought the chunks of beef were pretty generous, but some of them were really tough. The baguette, on the other hand, was super tasty, with crunchy crusts and soft insides. The soup was a little too sweet / strongly flavored for my taste, so I couldn't finish it. read more

Oh, the place with the cilantro sandwiches. It's ok but mostly cilantro, a little tofu and a few pickled things. Same if you get the noodles. No heat to anything. Shrug. read more

Even with all these Yelp stars, never did I think District Tonkin would be as good as it actually is. As far as I'm concerned, this is "legit" Vietnamese food and as a frame of reference it's as good as all the "authentic" places I've been throughout the US. The banh mi are delicious and chock full of cilantro, so if you're one of those genetic mutants who doesn't like cilantro, then too bad. The bun is bright, acidic and umami and I could actually taste the lemon grass that the beef was marinated with. After a week in Copenhagen, I was craving some Asian flavors and this definitely hit the spot. read more

We stumbled passed this small restaurant and decided to have dinner there on a holiday to Copenhagen and we weren't disappointed. The place was nice and cosy.

Good food and service! Would go back! read more

I came here tonight with my brother and we both left feeling like we had scored big on dinner. We had the Pho (120kr), a bahn mi (60ish kr), avocado smoothie (40ish kr), and coconut porridge (40ish kr) , and all four items were great. We got our food quickly, and the service was actually great, which is a huge plus here in CPH. I was I was a little worried when we walked up because it didn't look like there was much seating, but once we got inside, I saw that there was plenty of space. I'm not a Pho connoisseur so I couldn't tell you how authentic it was, but there was a lot of cilantro and pepper in the Pho- I really liked it, but if you aren't into those flavors, it may not be something you like. That's the only reason I gave it four instead of five stars though. I'll be back for sure! read more

Very nice and cozy place. Food is very good and very affordable. Service is fast and responsive.

I went after work on a Monday night. Place was pretty busy both dining in and take away. I ordered the pho and wontons. The pho was great and quite big. The broth had a lot of flavor. I will be back for this. Wontons were fried, with pork and mushroom. Good. Too much for one person but I wanted to try them. For the non-natives, you pick a seat and then go up and order/pay at the counter once you've decided :) The decor was also interesting - they've strung the lighting up like power lines, ha! read more
