11 places on the map
Chinese food in Copenhagen is not one thing, and that is the fun of it. We have eaten dim sum folded by hand at Hidden Dimsum and HONGS Special Dim Sum Bar, Chinese breakfast at Steam where the kitchen starts at 3am, hot pot you build yourself at Hot Pot Republic, and noodles at Xi'an Xian and Noodle & Beer.
Every place on this list is one we have filmed and eaten our way through, spread from the City out to Frederiksberg and Østerbro. Pick by mood. Dumplings on a cold Tuesday, a long hot pot with friends, or a bowl of noodles you can taste the wok in.
