Excellent Chinese food! We were visiting from the San Francisco Bay Area, where we have a large Chinese population and are used to high quality dim sum and other Chinese dishes, and this was as good as anything there. More expensive than a neighborhood Chinese place in the US, but it seems like all restaurants are more expensive here. read more

In Copenhagen for only 2 nights on business (having never been here before) and I'm a little ashamed to even be reviewing Fu Hao. My intent was to avail myself of all of the local Scandinavian food specialties to immerse myself in the culture of it all. On night 2, I couldn't take another meal of under-seasoned fish or rye bread. So, I did a search for ABS food (Anything But Scandinavian) and Fu Hao popped up. Like moth to flame, my dinner fate was sealed. Within 1 block of the central train station, this will be within walking distance of anyone staying around city center. It is on a quiet side street and has a fascinating mix of old Euro cement architecture with pictures of their dim sum menu on the windows. Around the area is a Little Asia neighborhood sporting a mix of other restaurants such as Thai and Japanese along with several Asian grocery stores. There were numerous bike food delivery people in and out of the place picking up while I ordered take away so they do a brisk take away business but the place was also completely full with patrons, both apparent tourists and locals alike with several tables of local Chinese patrons represented. It was so busy that when I stepped in to order, a woman got up from a table, took my order and sent it to the kitchen and later told me she doesn't even work there but she was there for dinner and knows the shop operators so well that she jumps in to assist them when they are in the weeds. It is that kind of place. She took my order, told me some history (the restaurant has been there operating for over 30 years) and then sat back down to finish her meal. That was a pretty awesome interaction. There is a full bar set up squeezed in above the cash register with a prominent Carlsberg beer tap, the obligatory waving good luck cat toy, and small Danish flag on display but no bar seats. The inside is small and compact, perhaps with enough tables and seats for up to 50 people all in. The menu had a full selection of dim sum offerings including some things I was surprised by such as tripe as well as pretty standard offerings you would find in most Chinese restaurants. The latter is what I would expect. The former is what impressed me as I would not think that full scale dim sum would be a hit with the locals (maybe they get sick of under seasoned fish too) but it must be and kudos to Fu Hao for being able to offer it so far from the motherland. The food was tasty and comforting to me. The dim sum is quite serviceable and I read the negative comments from others related to use of MSG by the kitchen. My answer to that is that MSG (stands for "Makes Sh*t Good") is a traditional and basic seasoning used throughout Asia. So while some disapprove of it, without it there is a degree of inauthenticity and that is a little like saying you are an aficionado of Chinese food but don't eat rice. It's incongruent. I found the food here to be pretty authentic which says something from the middle of Scandinavia. Copenhagen has a lot going for it but, in my opinion, world class native cuisine may not be on that list. Thank goodness though that they have Fu Hao (and other places like it) to keep their dining scene international and interesting. Would I eat from here again? Of course. read more

Who knew the first meal I have in Copenhagen would be Chinese food. We were tired and hungry from our travels from San Francisco, California, USA, so we just picked one of several Chinese restaurants about a block away from we were staying (Menninger Urban House Hostel). When we first arrived around 6pm, the restaurant was very busy and like many restaurants in Copenhagen, they are small and don't have much seating, so it's best to call ahead to order/reserve a table. We were originally denied a table because they were already booked, but the owner must have had pity for us as we looked famished and did find us a table for the 4 of us instead of turning us away. I find the portions of food for the price (similar to San Francisco prices) is small in Copenhagen. I guess that's why people in Copenhagen are mostly thin as I have not seen many overweight people here. As for the flavors of the food we got, they were decent, but I find the Chinese food in San Francisco to be more flavorful. Overall, this was a decent Chinese Restaurant, I would rate 3.5 stars, but rounded up to 4 since they let us get a table versus turning us away for not ordering/reserving a table ahead of time. read more

I have traveled to more than 30 countries and many of them in the EU. I have dined in Chinese restaurants in every country. I don't have a picky taste, but the food here at Fu Hao is really plain and does not taste good. Maybe people living here don't have a choice but I would not recommend this place to another traveler. 2nd, the restaurant charges 22Kr or US Dollar $3 for a glass of Tap Water. Yes, not a bottle water, but water from the faucet. There's no free refills of tap water per the waitress. You should bring your own tap water from your hotel instead so you don't get cheated by this restaurant. 3rd, the restaurant has no circulation. Air is stuffy and not a good smell. We went in on a cloudy day about 63F/13C, and it's hard to breath inside. It will be worse on a warmer day. read more

As a native Cantonese I have to give thumbs up to this restaurant! Everything we ordered was authentic and with top quality! Chang Fun by far is the best even in Chinese standard. Very happy with our experience in Fu Hao. Highly recommend ! read more

The restaurant has nice environment. I had porridge there and it is pretty good but it had a lot of MSG. Chinese ingredients are very limited in Denmark, so you can't have high expectations for all the Chinese restaurants here. read more

Fu Hao seems to be quite an authentic Chinese restaurant near the central train station. The decor is very traditional Chinese style and the food is ordered by writing the quantities on a form with all dishes listed. The main menu is excellent because it actually contains pictures of each dish making it easy to order even if you're not an expert in Chinese cuisine. We ordered some dimsum because wanted to grab something quick and small, and they were very good. Service was fast and friendly. read more

Entering Fu Hao is like stepping out from a time machine. Old uncles in waiter suits come to take your orders. It feels like in the 1980s, especially with Teresa Teng songs in the background, everything feels surreal to me, but maybe that's the kind of ambience needed for a hearty dim sum lunch here. Compared to other places, this place is not a number one option, but more like number two or three in quality. However, the price is cheap for dimsum, so I don't understand how other reviewers thinks this is expensive, nope - not in (already expensive) Copenhagen. read more

We came to Fu Hao after we got treated really bad in the other nearby Chinese restaurant. (and people say that kind of bad service is actually normal in Copenhagen. Say what?!) There were 5 of us and all of us were super hungry so we ordered food like crazy. The fried duck was super. Although it could have been more moist. The Gong Bao chicken was A-MAY-ZING. The steamed prawn dimsum were big and delicious. The fried rib was tasty. Stirfried veggies were nicely cooked and spiced. Chicken feet dimsum was nicely done. And their chili sauce on the table was superrr nice. I kept digging for more! The service is good for Copenhagen standard. We got also refillable Chinese teas as our drink which tasted authentic. All in all, they turned our bad night from another restaurant into an enjoyable night :) read more

We had a really good experience at Fu Hao. Our portions were generous and delicious, not salty but just right. We had Broccoli and beef, fresh veggies n good portions of beef. Our second dish was Fried Rice with shrimp, BBQ pork and duck. Tasty and highly recommended. read more

I was at Fu Hao during my weekend stay in Copenhagen. Ordered a couple dim sum and was not impressed. The place felt early 90s, and this is confirmed by the sun bleached photos of the food, and the 90s cantopop music they were playing. The plates and cups also looked quite well used. The food was average. A bit too oily for my taste. The price was about 40-60 kr for a dish which I find a little to high for a low-end dim sum restaurant. read more

I was disappointed with the service, We were not yet finish eating but then the waiter gave already the receipt even if we were not yet finish eating and we dont even asked for it. I thought they will be closing, So i asked until what time will they be open and he said 10pm, and i looked at my watch it was only 7:45pm. And i also thought maybe they need the table for new customer but there were a lot of vacant tables. It was like they want us to leave and pay asap. And the worst, they already kept away our plates and food well infact we just stopped for a rest. They dont even asked us first if we were finished or not before they took our plates. Oh my God! it was so disrespectful on my part. What i did was i wrote everything about what happened in a tissue paper so they know and i hope they wont do that to other customer. read more

I went to this place because it was very close to where I was staying and I wanted dim sum. Unfortunately, there's nothing complimentary that I can see about this place. I was first basically ignored and treated as though I was a burden when I attempted to place my order. Then, my food took extremely long to come out...in fact a couple who came 15 minutes after me got all of their things before I did. Aside from that, they gave me a wrong order and instead of giving me roasted ribs, I received chicken feet. Upon being notified of this, did nothing to rectify his mistake and instead charged me for this dish. Overall, I would stay away from this place. read more

No love nor hate for Fu hao. I craved dim sum and that is what I received. It wasn't particularly good nor bad. This place definitely smells WAY better than the food tastes though. All the dumplings were really really doughy and didn't let the shrimp or veggies shine through. The ratio was definitely off. The service is perfectly mediocre as well. Everything is quick. Back home this would be a 2 star restaurant but Denmark has some serious food inflation. Blah! Such mediocrity. The best is the best and the worst is mediocre. read more

We checked all the reviews for Chinese near our Hotel and this was our fortunate choice. Very good food and nice portions. Clean and nicely decorated restaurant. Menu had pictures so it was easy for us to order as they spoke a "little" english. read more

i've passed by this restaurant countless times, but for some reason i've never looked closer. luckily, i have a friend who has been coming here for years and he suggested it for lunch. the service was a bit reserved, but they were efficient and it was easy to get their attention. now for the FOOD. the custard buns were generously filled and cheung fun (rice noodle rolls) were delicious. my yard stick for dim sum restaurants, char siu bao (bbq pork buns) and radish cake, were absolutely perfect in texture and taste. we didn't have a bad dish here. the price was also very reasonable; 330kr for 3 people. three really IS the magic number... when it comes to dim sum. read more

This place is really a hidden gem! It was my first time trying this place and I was really impressed. We ordered a bunch of the different dumplings and they were all so yummy. I really liked the steamed bbq pork buns of course and each plate had so much flavor. But what really impressed m is the value for money. The prices are very fair and the service was really fast. if you are looking for authentic dim sum in the city with good value for money- come here! read more

Most of the dimsum restaurants have in my view an extensive menu card, however, I sometimes wish that the menu card is less extensive, which will most probably further increase the quality of the served dishes. For this particular restaurant, I think that the above is very true. The dimsum card offered is too extensive, but the dimsum quality is less than average. I definately have tried better dimsum in Copenhagen. Upon dinning I noticed that my plate is not clean and appeared greasy. When I addressed this issue to the busy waiter, he told me that all the plates are the same. Since I have been in Hongkong, I know that this is a common issue with most Chinese restaurants and therefore did not raise further complaints. If the owner is following my comment here, I sincerely hope that he will take this issue seriously. read more

Stopped in for a cheap dinner (compared to sky high Copenhagen prices) based on the reviews. For $46, we got the shrimp dumplings, sui mai, spring rolls and two medium bowls of won ton soup. This poor restaurant was doomed from the beginning to fail against my high comparison standards to the great dim sum joints scattered throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. Dim sum isn't typically eaten for dinner, but hey, I like me a good, piping dumpling. The dim sum was not fresh, flavor was mediocre, there was too much won ton skin to meat, and the soup's only likable feature was that it was warm. The service was fine, but Fu Hao won't be making the must-visit list for us the next time we are in Copenhagen. read more

Dim sum was ok, but found metal washer in fried dumplings, lady was at a lost for words, all she did was take the item off the check.

Yeah, 5 stars for Copenhagen standard. The highlighted dishes (my favorites) are 1. Steamed dumplings with beef 2. Cheung Fun Char Shiu 3. Fried rib roast 4. Deep-fried milk 5. Youtiao The steamed dumplings with beef are not something you will find in other dumplings restaurant, and it is superb. The fried rib roast, boy I can eat this as a snack, very crunchy and delicious. Deep-fried milk, it is actually a combination of coconut milk and cow milk, almost like when you eat desert such as Profiteroles. Left you wondering how they could deep-fry it without spilling the milk. But give it a try, you'll know what I mean. delicious. Youtiao is what we called Char Kue in my homeland; it is a fried breadstick/doughnuts. We usually use it as a rice porridge topping. Of course, you could eat it as a snack as well. I have seen frozen one on the Chinatown store behind the central station. Cheung Fun Char Shiu or Rice noodle roll, this one is good to eat while it is still warm. It is filled with shrimp, pork, beef, vegetables and seasoned with soy sauce. This dish is similar to Bahn Cuon (Vietnamese rolled cake). For the drink, a cup of warm tea read more

I really like this place, at least when compared with most other Chinese restaurants in Copenhagen. Although it can get a little crowded, especially on a Friday night, I like nearly every dish that I have ordered in the 20 times I have been here over the past few years. Some dishes tend to be a little over oily but I have brought friends here and they too agree that it is many steps above the typical Copenhagen Chinese restaurant fare. read more
