Restaurant Canton

What a great place to eat! I was craving Asian food and this place hit the spot. It was literally across the street from our hotel and it was a perfect place to dine. My husband had the orange chicken and I had the Thai food special. Very very delicious! I highly recommend this place for people local and people who are from out of town.

Summary: Rounding up to 5 stars because it deserves a higher rating than the other 2 Chinese restaurants in Denmark I’ve been to. Service starts out slow but gets better.
Attention Unilocal… 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 50 mm 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.

This place is legit. Go here and don’t look back! Get the BBQ pork turnovers or Singapore fried rice!

I am from Hong Kong, and the food at this restaurant is very good! Make sure you order the Singapore fried rice, and the turnip cake!

My wife and I came to this restaurant shortly after arriving to our hotel. This was a disappointing 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 décor 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.

We visited this restaurant shortly after our arrival in Copenhagen. The menu resembles a typical Chinese restaurant in the USA. Many options, sorted by «chicken» «beef» «pork» etc.
I had a spicy chicken dish. It was excellent. Just the right amount of spicy, without being overwhelming. I also had the mini spring rolls, which were very crispy. I like them that way… happy!
The service was just fine. Restaurant atmosphere is cozy and warm. Food comes in a reasonable amount of time. Prices are reasonable.
Overall there is just not much to complain about. Definitely fits the bill if you are looking for Chinese in Copenhagen.

The best chinese restaurant I have ever visited.
There are some menus to choose from and lots of different dishes.
Menu a with a soup as starter, fried shrimps, sweet and sour double baked chicken, beef with green pepper, curry pig and as a dessert ice crème with chocolate souce.
All dishes were great.
The waiters are friendly, the service is good and just in time.
The restaurant is clean and I would say there is nothing to complain about.
Most of the guests are chinese.
