Restaurant Dim sum

worst dining experience of my trip.
They are understaffed with only 2 people: a cook and a Girl acting as host, waitress, bus boy. We were trapped there for nearly three hours! The first hour we had to ask repeatedly about the status of our food and drinks and once it finally came we made a point to ask for the check. It took nearly another 2 and several requests and reminders to get it!
Don’t bother with this place. It’s a waste of time for just hatever food

I thought the negative review was not fair until I personally tried this restaurant. It was pretty bad food with very salty taste. Nothing was presentable nor impressive in terms of the flavour or the authenticity. The food was from the frige, as bad as takeaway standard. Moreover the crab & scallop Shao Mai we had wasn’t made from fresh seafood, it stinks. I am greatly disappointed. Don’t know how this restaurant gets Michelin’s recommendation in the past 5 years. It was a very bad choice, and pricy.

Dim Sum is owned and operated by the same Chef/​Director as Kiin Kiin, a Michelin starred Thai restaurant in Copenhagen. Having had the pleasure of encountering Kiin Kiin’s delightful tasting menu back in 2009, I thought that their offering of ‘Chinese tapas’ would be an excellent way to begin a Friday evening. Sadly, I couldn’t have been more wrong.
With an early reservation of 17:00, we were the first to arrive through the doors. Greeted by the fragrances of an Asian food market and the sight of towering stacks of bamboo steamers, Dim Sum was giving the right first impressions. The restaurant itself is a long, narrow dining area, separated from the kitchen by sliding screens. The kitchen runs most of the length of the restaurant, allowing many of the tables a view of the action. However, the kitchen is visually unappealing and, I imagine, can be quite noisy on a busy service.
We were inexplicably led to the back of the dining room, despite the restaurant being completely empty. Our table sat against an angled wall, badly scuffed by what I can assume were numerous failed attempts to delicately squeeze into and out of the pointless fourth space. We immediately asked to be seated elsewhere. The response — «all the other tables are reserved». I cannot stand this attitude — to make a statement like this in an empty restaurant shows a startling contempt for the diner
After some discussion, we all opted to take the special ‘Dim Sum’ tasting menu. I have to say that what followed was two hours of unforgivable inconsistency and salty disappointment. The dim sum were fine but completely forgettable, well-​cooked blackened cod had been coated in a sauce that wouldn’t be out of place on a sticky toffee pudding and, at one point, a broth was delivered that may actually have been a bowl of the Dead Sea, flavoured with star anise. The desserts, a tea ice cream followed by lemon cake with citrus sorbet, swayed wildly from saccharin sweet to face-​invertingly tart. Quantities of table water were consumed throughout the meal — openly described as being from the tap — and I was appalled to discover that these were being charged at about 40DKK a bottle.
The restaurant was less than half full by the time we finished, which only added to the frustration of having been refused a different table. In a final act of incompetence the payment of the bill was mishandled, resulting in an additional 300DKK being charged. There was little apology, although I had long abandoned any hope of finding a single redeeming aspect of this restaurant.
Dim Sum was a disappointment in every sense. The experience of distinctly average Asian fare was worsened by a level of service that would have to improve considerably to even reach acceptable — and this is the main frustration for me. It is an inevitability that some restaurants will fail to match expectations, but I find myself more willing to give second chances when I have been treated well, by attentive, friendly staff. As it was, the food at Dim Sum could have blown my mind, but I still wouldn’t consider going back.

The best Chinese restaurant in Copenhagen! It was the first time I eat here. I just love this place! I like the way they served the food which aren’t many Chinese restaurants serving food in that way. Small dish after dish, more like in a French restaurant, for me I found in this way you have more time to finish every dish, also you can get to eat them when they still fresh. The food they make just so delicious! The dumpling with salmon and dill is my favorite, never taste a dumpling with fish inside before, what a brilliant idea! Restaurant Dim Sum I would say it mixes with Chinese tradition way of cooking and a lot of new inspirations, I love when things happen like that, it makes the restaurant has it’s own personality, that’s the fun for going to a restaurant. Strongly recommended if you are a big fan of Chinese food and go to a fancy restaurant with a reasonable price!

Nope. Nope and nope.
When it comes to dim sum, I believe the more authentic the better. We came here by accident since our favourite restaurant Royal Garden was closed for the summer and we simply had to eat dim sum. We read the «good» reviews as the fusion dim sum restaurant to be and we had our worries.
The menu was mostly a set and the selection for a la carte wasn’t that many and unlike most dim sum restaurants in teh whole world, you didn’t get order paper with numbers and menu with pictures. Shoot me if this place is in Michelin recommended guide, this is just ain’t right in my honest opinion.
The way everything was served indicated that the meals weren’t naturally shared among the guests as it would have in their native China. Meals were delivered prettily in ceramic plates or perfectly decorated bambo trays that beat the purpose of eating dimsum itself. We’re paying for the garnish, mostly, considering the price is double of what we used to pay in ordinary (but delicious) dim sum restaurants in Copenhagen.
While the taste wasn’t that bad, we were skeptical about the whole thing, dim sum wasn’t supposed to be about elegance, or was it? I personally think the taste is the most important of all and since dim sum is originally afternoon meals to be shared among friends or family, this place doesn’t fit the ambience.
Sorry, but «fusion» is just not me.
The locals (Danes) might like it, but for Asians like me, it just ain’t cutting it.

Wow… what a great find!
Modern dim-​sum style dinner. I got the smaller tasting menu– very very well done. Tasting a variety of dim sum and entrees, just the right portions, great service.
Sorta not well marked… I walked past this place twice before actually finding it, but glad I did.
