This was the 2nd time I came here. A small place across Great China restaurant. Occupied well at 6pm on a Thursday night. Good food! Service was good. read more

It was decent. This was Chinese Tapas which was cool as it allows one to order more varied dishes but not have any of them be really large. We ordered 4 things and it was plenty for us. What I am not a fan of is placing an order via an app on a small tablet that they provide. I mean, it's nice to see images of the food on the app but sometimes hard to find what you want. And some items from the printed menu they also provide, aren't available in the app (or at all). Our server was pleasant and helpful and the food was tasty. read more

Food was good but... Service was terrible! There was a misunderstanding in our order and we were served the wrong dish. We wanted a noodle dish and they brought us fried rice. They did not take the dish back or offer to bring us what we actually ordered/wanted. Instead of acknowledging the misunderstanding, they argued with us, made us feel bad, and then dismissed us completely. A few minutes later another waitress walked by and simply said "this one is good, eat it." Additionally, the menu said one pot of tea is 30DKK, or one cup for 15DKK. I ordered a whole pot thinking it would only be only 30 since we only drank one pot. Instead, they charged us per person for tea and again argued with us about the pricing. This could have been a great meal for 3 first time visitors to Copenhagen. Instead, this restaurant completely ruined our night. read more

We were looking for a sit down place about 5:30 with a group of 6 (2children) and no reservation. They advertise Chinese tapas and it sounded great. We had arrived early enough we were able to get a table quickly. The menu was on an iPad with pictures and English. We still had a lot of questions and the waitress was very very patient and helped us. Because of the children we had special requests for the chef. The chef was fantastic! We requested the scrambled eggs and shrimp be cooked and served separately. My grandson was thrilled with his eggs. The rest of us enjoyed the shrimp-cooked perfectly! Then my granddaughter wanted shrimp Lo mein-no vegetables. Once again, no problem, cooked perfectly delicious! The adults ordered various dishes and shared. They were all wonderful. My son and his wife enjoyed cocktails. They were house specialties from the menu. The cocktails were so good they had another round. . Ahhh to be young again. Overall, we strongly recommend this wonderful restaurant. It's a great place to take the family or a date and enjoy a cocktail and great food. read more

Went to this place for the first time last Saturday after hearing so many people saying this is the best Chinese restaurant in Copenhagen. As an Asian, sure I can't miss a chance to eat here! So here it goes, I ordered a fried noodle which was blown me away. The taste, I can really say it's authentic and super YUM! The portion was HUGE and satisfied my hunger. The price was nice for my pocket too. So win-win situation for all my senses. Definitely coming back for more and more chinese foods. read more

Sign me up for the Magasasa fan club! I can see why it's gotten good reviews. They do good Chinese food with a wide range of flavours including numbing Szechuan spiciness and mild curry in Singapore fried noodles. It's nothing fancy, but the food is satisfying and tasty. Two dishes and two beers around 270 kr. We managed to get a table by walking in Friday night and from what I could see, tons of other people just walked in off the street too. So maybe reservations are not essential if it's just for two. Service was fast and friendly, but a little forgetful and we had to ask for things like bowls and utensils. There is an obligatory tacky tv-fish tank in the back which I both love and hate. The only thing I didn't like was the use of preserved bamboo shoots in one Szechuan dish because it has this distinct fermented flavour I don't enjoy. But boyfriend liked it, so to each their own. I prefer this Magasasa (Istedgade) over the Amager Magasasa, just because I like the menu range a bit more. Although the Amager location is brighter and larger. read more

South Chinese food well seasoned and done good. Nothing fancy about the place, it's only plane good food. A lot of Chinese eat at the place, and they do it in the right way with of bowl of rice and their dish at the side. Non-Chinese get a plate to eat of. We tried the beef in black pebersauce, eggplants and porksauce and duck/pork roast. They all tasted good. read more

Magasasa - Snack before dinner - Chinese Near Me - København V, 84

I had the Peking soup to start (hot and sour) and found it was tasty but a little too sweet for my taste. The main was rice with roast duck and pork and this was very good standard. The taste was very good and would come back here for that again. As for the service, well I never really expect that at a Chinese restaurant to can't say I was disappointed. The waitress took my food order and the proper food came out. Overall very good value for money and a place I would come back again with hesitation next time I am back in town. read more

The best Chinese food I've had in Europe. Truly. Asked for my food Asian spicy not white spicy and they accomodated. I literally ate leftover dry fried green beans with my fingers in the dark in my hotel room at 3 am it was so delicious.. ate there twice in two days. When you are the only Caucasian in the place its a good sign... read more

Very typical Chinese cooking and taste! Best and wise choice if you like real Chinese food! yummy yummy yummy~ if you don't like waiting for the table, please go there to have a try as early as possible! read more

one of the only places in copenhagen (and possibly denmark) where you can get real chinese food. i recommend you order from the sichuan menu or the other laminated paper menu and share the dishes family style. aubergine with pork, green beans, happy family hot pot, fish with pickled vegetables... they are all winners! if you are not of the *ahem* asian persuasion, be sure to ask for it spicy if you want it. they might go easy on you whiteys out of compassion.

This is my hangout with my immigrant friends. In dire need of spicy food with affordable place? Here's the place. I love everything on the menu but my favourite got to be #22. It might change as I try different things. String beans with chili and garlic is also delish as well as as the mapo tofu. Just thinking about it making me hungry! read more

Well, this is very nice. It has a reputation as being the best Chinese restaurant in Copenhagen and that seems right. Three of us were lucky enough to get a table at 7pm on a Saturday night, as someone cancelled as we walked in. Service was rushed, but very good. The starters; spring rolls, were tasty and gently filling. The veg course was labelled as spicey and had a good bit of chilli, rather than as mild as this might often mean in Copenhagen. All dishes were very nice, the price was reasonable. Marvellous. read more

Best Chinese food in Denmark, bar none. Before this place opened, I'd only found one really acceptable place for Chinese food, so this spot is a godsend. Authentic and delicious flavors, decent prices and nice staff. This place is becoming increasingly crowded, and for good reason. I would advise those of you who are are scarred by the horrific Chinese restaurants throughout the city to take a deep breath, set foot inside this small restaurant and step outside your comfort zone and order the following dishes, all from the new menu: #6 Chili peppers, #8 String Beans with Garlic, #4 Aubergines and Pork. #46 from the main menu, Ma Po Tofu is also splendid. Noodle dishes are also excellent here, but be sure and opt for the rice noodles. read more

There I was, scouting the area for some food, slowly but surely getting hAngry as Good Morning Vietnam was closed. I walked past this place and saw quite a crowd of Chinese ladies dining inside. A Chinese restaurant with a bunch of Chinese ladies dining there? "Sounds like a safe bet!" -- right I was and the initial hunch I have had led me to make a good choice. Starter: Crispy Wan Tan = quite tasty and not fried in old fat which is a big plus. Main: DanDan Noodles with fried Pork. Quite spicy due to the unannounced chilli flakes but really tasty. I can also recommend the Mango Smoothie with Matcha. All in all a good Chinese restaurant with a solid selection of dishes and reasonable prices. I'll be back for more. read more

My normal standards would give Magasasa a 3, but in Denmark it is more of a 4... You probably won't find much better Chinese food in Copenhagen unless I invite you over for dinner. I've recently been told I should have Danish standards for the places I review while living abroad. AKA lower my standards. Here goes? Service was heinous, but that's normal here, right? So I can't subtract points for that. A small plate of very delicious spicy green beans for almost 100DKK? Reasonable, for Denmark, but not anywhere else. 33DKK for a coke? Standard and crazy. But yes, a light dinner for 2 with a drink each was 230 DKK total. That's not really too bad. The food was really good too. The noodles weren't too crazy priced, tasty, and salty. I like that you can see the dude in the front in that tiny little kitchen just busting out your food with the quickness. I also like that a ton of Chinese people hang out here. My ears were filled with mandarin the entire night and I even got to practice my Chinese a bit too. In summation, good food that does not completely rape your wallet, but don't expect much for service or decor. I'll come again, but not super often. read more

With Chinese food restaurants in Denmark, I noticed, you're either hit or miss. It's either cheap prices with cheap food or expensive prices for excellent food. Magasasa is the exception. Moderately priced food items that taste really good. A very helpful staff. A good location, right behind the central train station. The size of the restaurant can be a little small, (it will actually fill up very fast) but that is to be expected in Copenhagen. read more

The worst dining experience of our trip. Tofu wasn't close to anything fresh and buried in a sauce that made it close to inedible. The rice smelled really bad. Honestly, it smelled like sewage, which I hate to say but it did. The noodle soup was very spicy and the soup was mostly oil. The service was also slow and inattentive. On a positive note, it was cheap. read more

Went here on a whim and glad we did! The duck Braised in beer was excellent! Ordered 2 soups..Hen and spicy seafood, and the chicken chow mein noodles. All were top notch! Very affordable considering this is Copenhagen. Looking forward to returning before we head back to LA! read more

Please don't eat here. First off, service was terrible. We had to wait by the door for 10 minutes & ask someone to seat us while reception is busy discussing take-out orders. Secondly, food is not really chinese foods but an imitation of it. Lastly, main cook had to go to the back room to get ground pork but grabbed them by his bare hands while walking past customers tables. read more

This is my go-to place to get my asian ChaSiu pork. Being so far away from my favorite asian restaurants in California. Magasasa was the best I could find in the area. I usually get takeout at this chain so I can't really review how the environment is like on the interior. read more

Really good food for a good value for money. The service need more efficacy, some of them don't pay attention to you if you don't ask them to come. We need to wait a lot to be serve. read more

The most Salty Singapore mei fun (thin rice noodle) that I ever had. The duck was meaty but flavor wasn't great. Beef chow fun was very small order and noodle a bit stiff. Dumpling soup was good. I just can't wait to go back home in NYC to get the real Chinese. read more

Having lived in Denmark for 5 months now, I thought I'd give chinese food a chance. Service is a bit slow, but the food tastes authentic. It does taste like traditional chinese food and none of that china box crap on strøget. I shared a small dumpling soup, beef with pak choi and crispy spare ribs with spicy salt. What I found amusing was that all the non asian customers were given plates, forks, spoons and knives while all the asians were given bowls and chop sticks. I had to personally request for forks and a plate. Overall, the food was reasonably priced. 117 krones per person for water, endless amounts of rice, two dishes and an entree. I might come back if I miss my mom's cooking.. read more

We had the duck spring rolls, lamb n leek sauté, dry beef noodles, and fish in chili pepper broth. Everything was flavorful and perfectly cooked - with quick and attentive service. read more

best Asian food you can get in copenhagen. me being korean, this is a place to eat spicy food. Do not order, boring so called 'chinese' ordinary menu like sweet sour pork and fried rice. Try to order more szechuan style food. They really know how to make it and straight down yummy. number C11,C12, 37, and Chengdu Style seafood mix are definitely my favourite. read more

Really great place! Be sure to book a table, it tends to be full. Or even better- come when noone is there. They are constantly staffed with only one serving-maid. Very reasonably priced food, and very good food! The chef is awesome! The service is ok as long as the place is not full. Ive been here 4+ now, and its definitely a place Ill come back to! Also the chinese beer is cheap! +Good food +Good prices (food and beer) - Not much room; so book a table or order takeaway - Understaffed read more

The service really depends on when you visit. During our first two visits, we walked up to the front to grab menus when 15 minutes passed and no one brought them over to our table. Ironically, service is much better when it's the busiest. When we came at 3pm for late lunch, there was only 1 waitress and food was slow to arrive. We came around 5pm on Sunday and the waitress quickly sat us at the last available table. It took less than 15 minutes for our first dish to arrive versus the 30+ minutes during lunch when there were only 5 tables seated. You can't go wrong with their basic stir-fried noodles and fried rice. The portions are huge and the dishes aren't overly greasy. Their fish, mushroom, and veggie dish was also great but a lot pricier. I did get their dan dan noodles too and it was a big disappointment. Normally, dan dan noodles are dry noodles with a chile meat sauce but this was more like noodle soup with crumbled meat on top. The soup was spicy, but had no flavor at all; it was pretty much like liquid Sriracha. I took 3 bites and didn't finish the rest of the dish. Also, one person at our party didn't eat beef for religious reasons so I thought it'd be fine for her to taste a bite of the noodles because the menu said it was pork. I double checked with the waitress to be safe. She confirmed with the cook that it was really beef so the English translations may be off. read more

I'm a regular at this place but always with my chinese friends. We like the restaurant mainly because of the food, as it is not so pricey, less MSG but still tasty. Customer Service comes second - despite of rush hours and usually fully packed place, service is still top notch Sadly, today was an exception, dropped in for late lunch with a non-chinese friend and we are completely non-existent! Ridiculously hard to order, people are getting up to get the menu themselves from the front door, the waitress was not attentive and only swift at cleaning the table and the place was nearly empty. The worst part was when I ordered for a cola, she took my friend's glass and refilled it! She's really rolling it! I thought of having a verbal spar with her, but hell no, maybe a bad day for her and my parents taught me not to argue with people who serves my food. Verdict: It will take me ages before I come back to this place! Good luck people! read more

I love this Magasasa. I have to thank my friend for introducing me to this wonderful little restaurant. Whenever I crave for some fried egg noodles, I'll order from them. Specially like the eggplant dish, big green chilli dish, tofu dish, fried egg noodles, and Dan Dan noodles. And for the price, it is worth it. read more

Soooo good! I lived in China for two years and this is better than a lot of what I ate there. Very authentic and everything tasted exactly like it should. I recommend the SiJiDou (green bean dish) and the YuXiangQieZi (eggplant dish). Easily the best Chinese food I've had outside of China. 70-90 DKK per dish, which is a steal in Copenhagen (sad as that is). read more

The service was ok, the sweet and sour chicken was delicious, excellent rice, but we didn't like the fried noodles which were too greasy.
