    I don't know how it got high rate, maybe this restaurant has good taste food. However, the service…read moreis very poor. I walked in with Asian face and the owner kick me to the corner even there is no much people here. I feel sorry for this but I need to write down true feedback.

    We found the Royal Garden restaurant on our last night in Copenhagen. The family was craving…read morenoodles and soup and this was a perfect place to have dinner. It was a cold and windy Copenhagen day and we needed the comfort food and a warm place to eat dinner after a long day of sightseeing. We ordered the beef with housemade rice noodles, the sizzling chicken with veggies, and the beef fried noodles with veggies, along with the chicken hot and sour soup. EVERYTHING was delicious. The food ingredients were high quality and fresh and every dish was perfectly seasoned (just needed a little salt or soy sauce to taste). Then we shared the fried banana with ice cream for dessert! It was an absolutely wonderful way to end our meal. More great flavors.The waitstaff was kind, welcoming and accommodating. We didn't have reservations, but we were still able to easily get a table on a Sunday night at 7:00. The restaurant was filled with happy diners of couples, friends and families. And it's a very pretty and very comfortable place to relax and have a wonderful meal. We would certainly return and would highly recommend the Royal Garden. AND they have a huge dim sum menu for those looking for dim sum!

    Excellent Chinese food! We were visiting from the San Francisco Bay Area, where we have a large…read moreChinese 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.

    In Copenhagen for only 2 nights on business (having never been here before) and I'm a little…read moreashamed 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.

    Be aware - The place is infested with rats!!! We saw three…read morerats while eating in the courtyard-restaurant, inside the restaurant, just outside in the courtyard and on the transparent roof above us. The couple dining next to us also mentioned they had seen several rats running towards the kitchen area. The staff reacted so badly when confronted and tried to gaslight us to believe it was "normal for the area" and they could not give any more discount than 10% (66kr) as their manager was not present. I cannot believe I actually payed for the food without. We should have just left instantly! The most disgusting experience in a restaurant I have ever experienced. We could have gotten seriously sick or infected. I've worked in restaurants many years as a chef in Copenhagen and have never seen a single rat. The staff handled this so badly that I will never recommend this place to anyone ever. In Denmark we have a moral obligation to report any sighting of rats anywhere and this will also be done in this case, to Miljöförvaltningen Malmö.

    Couldn't eat anything because even though the menu says "we can do everything gluten free" the…read morewaiter was like "oh there is gluten in the soy sauce and everything has soy sauce is that ok?" and I go "well not really im allergic to gluten but it has gluten?" And he goes "Yeah we can make it gluten free except the soy sauce and the soy sauce is already in there" and I go "ok so not gluten free if the soy sauce is in it"....anyway we went back and forth like this for a bit and then I hung out for a bit while my friends ate and then went home.
