    Salmon sashimi
    Jason O.

    Hatoba is a nice little spot for good quality sushi. The restaurant is small but lively and located near the waterfront. Reservations are recommended but you might get lucky with a walk-in. Otherwise grab take-away and enjoy near the water. The staff were all really friendly and the food comes out reasonably quick. The quality of the rolls were quite good and the salmon sashimi was excellent. The Devils roll did have a bit too much sauce for my taste but I just cleaned most of it off. This is a casual sushi spot with good value for the money so definitely worth a visit. Enjoy.

    Devils roll and Sizzling Salmon Roll
    Randy S.

    Walked in and we were immediately greeted by a very friendly host. As you walk in the Sushi prep area is within feet of the door, there is also a small cash/host area. The 8-10 tables in the restaurant. This is a very cozy place with large windows that look out to the Islands Brygge park. We were seated, and provided menus straight away. There is plenty of items to choose from and we decided to go with the Devil's Roll and the Sizzling Salmon Roll. The Devil's Roll and had tuna, cilantro, avocado, cucumber, spicy sauce and kimchee, and surprisingly the cilantro and kimchee are very complimentary flavours. Also having cilantro in a sushi roll was something new. Our other roll was a Sizzling Salmon - which had salmon marinated in a yuzu, sesame and soy sauce, then grilled and topped over a salmon, avocado, basil and spring onion roll. There was also a side dish of the sauce to dip the pieces in. The yuzu gave the roll a really interesting citrus flavour, which made this so very different than any other sushi we've had. Both were really very different than what we've had in other places, and what I would consider a bit of a Danish slant on Sushi. The funny part of this place is the tea cups. We had ordered green tea and I've seen bigger bowls to mix your soya sauce and wasbi together. You might get 1.5 sips from the cup. The tea doesn't get a chance to get cold. Overall I love this little place. The service was great, the sushi rolls were fabulous and I like how the different flavour profiles are meshed together to get something all together unique. Great job Hatoba. I'd highly recommend to anyone in the area.

    I was very skeptical at start about this restaurant, especially because it got three star rating…read moreand below from previous reviews and it seems like nobody (at least nobody from yelp) has visited this place recently. Although I have been walking along Vesterbrogade for so many times, somehow this place is invisible to me, only after Linnea R arranged an event to dine here that I discovered this place. I wasn't hungry enough to order the teppanyaki menu so I decided to get the sushi and sashimi menu instead and split a bowl of soba with raw egg with Mina K while the rest of us ordered teppannyaki. Oh well, how sorry I was for not choosing it. The seafood one looked absolutely divine especially when the chef was cooking them in front of us (we were seated by the teppan table). Although the price seemed a bit steep for the menu (420 dkk), you got tons of food for it as I have witnessed from my dining company's meal. You get the starter sushi / sashimi, you get the seafood teppannyaki with rice and miso soup and believe me, there were plenty of food to go around. One thing that pulls one star down from the perfect five was the SLOWNESS of the service. It took forever to get our food (well, the teppanyaki menu was a show of itself) but the sushi took a long time to appear, apparently. Even when we wanted to leave and wanted to get our bill, it took forever as well. This time it was alright because we had great dining company so we didn't mind waiting but we spent what it was like four hours in the restaurant. Sorry, I'd like my food to be faster please. Hungry! *points to stomach*

Hard to find on your own because it is on the first floor. As one of only two places in Denmark this place features a "Teppan yaki" table where the chef prepares your food on a big hot plate in front of you. The "Ume" course is my favorite but even at the regular tables you have a great variety of traditional Japanese dishes to choose from. Yum!!

    I made the mistake of mapping the restaurant via Yelp, Studio had just relocated. So we got to…read moretheir old location by foot and found nothing. Dialed the restaurant and found out we were about 3 miles away and CPH only has taxis - so we had to walk back to the city center to hail one. Front of the house was so graceful about the whole ordeal - told us not to worry and to just get their safely. Truly took the burden off us! The food - let it take you on a head to tail journey. Incredibly well thought out food - locally foraged and harvested ingredients. A beautiful bounty of Scandinavian ingredients, manipulated with the utmost precision. Chef presented several of the courses - inspiring to hear the descriptions from the creator himself and he was so authentically engaged when we peppered him with questions. At the end of the night it was a bit challenging getting a taxi back - even Chef got involved in the process. The humility and graciousness, stunning. All memorable and fantastic. Wouldn't change a thing.

    This was the most underwhelming meal in Copenhagen for me. This review is a few weeks late (i…read morevisited CPH last month). The location is awesome, the staff are great and friendly. Chef Alan Bates was pretty good in conversation. But, the food just didn't hit the mark. I was there lunch time and ordered 5 course menu (they only have that for lunches, otherwise you can go for more traditional 9 course menu). The trout tart looked beautiful, didn't have much of wow factor in taste though. The pasta dish was good with ton of truffle shavings. The main meat dish was not at all there. I mean it was cooked nice but there was a side of tempura made from pig-brain if i remember correctly, and it was pretty bad!! Not fried well, was chewy and the fried batter coating got badly stuck on my teeth! Dessert was good.

They are located at the top level of the hotel. It's recommended to have a reservation to dine. The staff was friendly, but wouldn't accommodate any party without a prior reservation. The food was excellent! I remember getting one of the set menus to share. It came with sushi, yakitori, and appetizers. The set was called (something like) "The perfect day", which it truly was!

    I went to Tivoli for the day and was craving sushi by the end of the day. I looked this place up on…read moreGoogle Maps & thought it looked really fresh. We came around 7PM on a Monday and it wasn't too busy. We were able to walk in and get sat right away outside (I definitely recommend sitting outside). It's got a nice view! Our server was very kind & answered a ton of questions we had about what to choose etc. We started with the tuna tartare which was light and refreshing. I thought the avocado on it would be more like cut up pieces instead of more like guacamole. I thought it would be better that way. I didn't love the texture of the avocado they put. We also got the blanched spinach with the goma sauce which was tasty but I wish it was warm instead of cold! It was a pretty small portion as well. Things I really loved: the seared salmon sushi - it was very fresh & the pieces were large! We got the wagyu stick and MYYYY GOD if steak were butter than that's how I'd describe the texture. Sprinkle a little of the flaky salt on it and it's one of the best things I've put in my mouth. Things I didn't love: the miso cod stick. I've had this before elsewhere and it's been way better. I expected the texture to be buttery and for it to not taste fishy - it was neither of those. Also, Ted Dansen & Lilly Collins walked right past our table so overall had a really cool experience here!

    What a fool I am! In my Studieskolen days, I passed by this place many times but figured it was…read morelike most Japanese-Korean mix establishments: BAD! However I was pleasantly surprised and now I know where to get my Korean fix in Copenhagen when I'm feeling homesick. Since it was a very cold day, I wanted something hot and comforting. The Samgyetang menu (310 dkk) appealed to me especially since it comes with small sides (banchan). Normally this soup is eaten in the summer, but I think it also goes over well on these winter evenings. Our server brought out a whole cornish hen sizzling in the stone pot on a wooden trivet with salt and pepper on the side. Spot-on presentation! However there was no ginger or glutinous rice inside the chicken, much less jujube or ginseng. Although chicken is the star of this dish, the rice and herbs play a huge role. This was very disappointing, even though the meat was cooked perfectly and falling off the bone. Before we were served the main (Korean) dishes, we received a little Japanese appetizers. One was a spinach salad (ohitashi) and a shrimp salad with bean thread (ebi sunomono). These were very nice and refreshing but of course I would have preferred a Korean starter. Soon after came gyoza/mandu, which was good. Right before the mains came out we got the banchan, and so prettily arranged! There was seafood pancake (haemul pajeon), carrot kinpira, kimchi, potato pancake (gamjajeon), and seaweed salad. The kinpira was a bit out of place, I think beansprouts would have fit in better. Though they were a little oily, the pancakes were good. Now the kimchi was excellent! I can say this with confidence since I am Korean, I've been brought up eating kimchi, and I do make my own. You can even buy it by the kilo here. Good to know. At the end of the meal we got a scoop of sickly-sweet strawberry ice cream and a pretty but not very tasty strawberry for dessert. I would have preferred green tea ice cream or even some seasonal fruit, the latter being more common in Korean cuisine. Since it is winter I would have been ok with no dessert and just a cup of ginseng tea instead. Although the missing ingredients in the samgyetang made me feel cheated, the banchan was mostly good and so was the service. I look forward to trying more authentic Korean dishes here.
