Copenhagen just got a new dumpling destination. HONGS Special brought their dim sum magic to a fresh new spot on Nordre Fasanvej in Frederiksberg, and we went to try it out.
HONGS Special opened this dim sum bar on Nordre Fasanvej in Frederiksberg, and it does the classics with real care and balance. Everything is handmade, and it covers the full range from fried to steamed, which is exactly what you want from a proper dim sum spot.
We started with a classic pork siu mai, juicy pork, shrimp and shiitake in every bite, with a spoon of their homemade chili crunch for a punch of flavor. The crispy chicken flower ball dumpling, crunchy and hot from the fryer, ready to dip in sweet chili sauce, a fun and delicious bite. Pan-fried beef and spinach buns, juicy and savory with a golden crispy base, the spinach keeping it fresh and easy. The classic soup dumplings, steamed and served piping hot. Pork ribs in a black bean sauce, big tender pieces with deep savory flavor, a must if you love the classics. The water spinach, vibrant and cooked to perfection, a highlight in its own right. And a flaky red bean pastry to finish.
Bring a couple of people and order across the steamed and fried side so you get the full spread, that is how dim sum is meant to be eaten. That homemade chili crunch is addictive, so plan your napkins accordingly.
Classic dim sum made with care, balance and bold flavor. Whether you are a regular or just want something warm and satisfying, this spot is worth knowing about.
But now… the real question is… where do we go next?
