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.

Summary: Rounding up to 5 stars because it deserves a higher rating than the other 2 Chinese…read morerestaurants in Denmark I've been to. Service starts out slow but gets better. Attention Yelp... you deleted 2 other of my Chinese in Copenhagen reviews because your algorithm felt I was not a local. Usually, I'm ok with the purity of that, but as 1 of the 50mm huaqiaos I consider it a civic duty to the 1.4 billion ethnically Chinese population to QC our food globally and help other Chinese find a happy stomach while traveling. (Can you plz plz add back my reviews so I don't have to rewrite... plz plz?!?) Rating notes: This place would likely deserve 4 stars, but I gave Royal Garden 4 and Magasasa 2, so I have to give Restaurant Canton 5. Portion sizes are average. Pricing: Entrees are between 80-150dkk. If you're like my A-yi's (the actual A-Yi, not the word that now means maid) then you will probably be thinking WHAT? that's a lot! But CPH is expensive. Atmosphere: It's pretty Cheesy old school Cantonese with the gold everywhere and lions in front, but I kind of think my mom would like it. Plus, if you're a Chinese tourist a little too confused to read the signs, this kind of helps you identify grub. Hence, I am a thumbs up. It's also very clean from what I saw on a slow Monday night. They have many 8 tops that all sport a lazy Susan. I've never understood why this particular invention has not caught on like other useful Chinese innovations like paper and the compass. Service: She was really great once she got to me. There were 8 tables and about 40 people, which is a lot for 1 server. I waited a bit for water such that I almost left. Glad that I didn't. Once she got to me, she was very nice explaining what the"best of" was. I only took her up on one of her suggestions. She was also quite quick once she started serving me. Food came quickly, she checked on my regularly. Very efficient waitress. I can see if they only have 1 server it could be a problem though. The restaurant owners need to figure out how to increase staff or slowly monitor the number of tables to increase staff and avoid bad reviews. The food: Delicious. There is a dim sum menu they don't share at night, likely because they don't have everything on it at night. As I was seated next to the menus, I just grabbed one and asked for the items I knew wouldn't cause a hassle. Peking soup - The is the best one I've had in Copenhagen. Unlike there two sweet versions that make me sad, this one not only is the right flavor, but also has pickled cabbage and enoki mushrooms. Chef needs to slightly lighten his soup thickener or just add more water, but I'll give it 5 stars as the flavor is perfect. The soup came with a little eggroll that was delightful. It seemed like the oil was very clean, which isn't always the case with Chinese restaurants. nice accompaniment. Stir-fried Ho-Fan Noodles - This is Gan-chow Ngo Haw (Gan chai niu he) a typical Cantonese dish that was perfect in flavor. The chef seasoned the beef perfectly before stir-frying and also used fresh ingredients. He managed to cook it without excessive oil on plating. My only criticism is that he could go ever so slightly more al dente on the noodles, but that is personal preference so, 5 stars. Chicken with veggies and peanuts is Kung Pai Chicken which is actually a Chinese dish called Gung Bao Ji ding. This is actually a Cantonese version of the Szechuan dish. Personally, 4 stars, not because you Canto-ized it. I think the restaurant is catering toward an audience that doesn't do extreme spice. As a result, they've removed the Szechuan peppers and pepper corns and replaced it with chili paste... if I had to guess Lee Kim Kee brand which is a Cantonese company that offers a lower hot spice level. I would continue to experiment with the spice level and possibly increase some of the savory aspects of the sauce to get a little more punch. It's pretty good right now, but it mellows likely more than you'd want when you add rice.

My wife and I came to this restaurant shortly after arriving to our hotel. This was a…read moredisappointing experience. We ordered two tap waters, fried prawns, and pan fried noodles. The location is convenient and near the train station and hotels. The atmosphere, facilities, and general decor were fine. However, the most important thing (food) was lacking in portion. The taste was okay and like another reviewer said the food is a Westernized version of Chinese food. They have a wide variety and decent amount of choices, but I don't think they really cook Cantonese style as the food was dull. We didn't order much, but it did cost 153 DKK, which probably isn't expensive in Copenhagen, but it was a pitiful amount of food for about 28 USD. Again, I recognize its unfair to judge the portion size against Chinese restaurants anywhere else in the world, but consider that tap water charge of 20 DKK and the fact that you can get a Carlsberg beer from 711 for about 17 DKK or only 5 DKK from the grocery store. Yep, beer is cheaper than water... It wasn't horrible, but I wouldn't recommend this place and would prefer the savory danish and a Carlsberg at 711 for less than 50 DKK.

I've eaten at a lot of restaurants in Copenhagen and I have to say that MAOBAO is in my top 10. It…read morebegan as a pop-up and is now a permanent dinner spot inside Sidecar (another favorite cafe) from Tuesday - Sunday evening. If you're a tourist and are looking for the best local foodie spots in town, head to MAOBAO. I have yet to try everything on the menu but my top items so far are: Hong Kong Pulled Pork Bao 5/5 Pork & Shrimp Chili Wontons 5/5 Duck Breast & Cashew Cream 5/5 I've also tried the Chicken & Garlic Chive Dumplings, Celeriac Bao, and Ice Cream Bao, which are all delicious but the above 3 were by far the top contenders. If you're feeling wild, they also offer a 7-course chef's menu for 310/person. Prices are standard for Copenhagen, I just wish they didn't charge for tap water. Already planning my next visit!

MAOBAO, where art thou?…read more The only bad thing about this place is that they're never around when you're having ultimate craving for fluffy white bao with pork fillings and peanut crumblings on it. No, seriously bro - what's an Asian girl got to do here to have an easy access to those divine baos? I have tried baos here and there, but MAOBAO wins the fluffiest bao competition hand down although the fillings can be better varied, but I ain't complaining here. With the price of 60 kr for two baos, it's a little bit steep everywhere else but Denmark (well, maybe not Norway but I am not even sure if there are baos up there in the arctic circle) but I would definitely shut up and let them take my money. For now, I would just have to stalk them on social media to find out where they're going to appear next.
