Copenhagen boasts a vibrant Chinese food scene, offering everything from traditional dishes to innovative culinary experiences. Berlingske’s guide highlights five exceptional establishments, each with its unique flair and flavors.

Mudan stands out for its authentic Sichuan cuisine, a rarity in Copenhagen. The reviewer was particularly impressed with the duck dish, prepared in two courses. The first course was the duck itself, and the second course offered a choice between duck soup or deep-fried duck with spring onions and spices. The deep-fried duck spare ribs were a hit, earning Mudan a top spot among the reviewer’s favorite Chinese restaurants in the city.

Zen specializes in handmade dumplings, a cornerstone of Chinese gastronomy. These dim sum offerings are both affordable and gastronomically satisfying. The reviewer found Zen’s dumplings to be a testament to the satisfying and diverse experience dim sum can provide.

Hot Pot Republic offers a unique and interactive dining experience where guests can create their own jian bing, a savory pancake. The reviewer enjoyed the process of making the pancake and appreciated the combination of flavors and textures, including hoisin-like sauce, lettuce, tomato, coriander, chili oil, marinated pork, and crispy fried dough.

Goldfinch serves Cantonese cuisine made from scratch with high-quality ingredients, a departure from typical “China-box” fare. The reviewer was particularly taken with the Hong Kong-style French toast, a decadent creation featuring deep-fried bread filled with chestnut cream and maple syrup, served with condensed milk ice cream and salty butter flakes.

Captain H offers a more adventurous menu, featuring dishes like bullfrog and ox tendons. The hot pot is a highlight, and the reviewer appreciated the opportunity to try unique ingredients like veal tripe, as well as the wide potato noodles that absorbed the flavorful broth.
