Really refreshing & elegant take on chinese cooking, style is 新粤式 “new cantonese”. Portions were small but that’s ok as ingredients were fresh and flavors perfectly executed. Come here when you are not in a rush and dining will almost feel like a pause in time!

Absolutely a gem of a restaurant! Lovely atmosphere, impeccable service and the food is fresh and testy with lots of depth in flavor! My husband and I were delighted to try a new place to us in Valby, and will definitely make this a regular stop when visiting Copenhagen.

1. The food materials are very high quality and fresh, no matter beef or fish or shrimp. 2. Very unique and multi-layer tastes you can find from the main dishes. Suggest not to swallow too fast. 3. The looking of the dishes are different from other Chinese restaurants in CPH, shows the chef’s high level aesthetic. So do the decorations in the restaurant, all of them are handmade by the chef. 4. Have visited here many times, always can get a new feeling even when the seasonal menu hadn’t been updated. 5. The dumplings are not purchased from Asian supermarkets, my kid loves it.

Hands down one of the best Chinese restaurants in Copenhagen. I found out that the owner and chef is Cantonese (so am I so I know what I’m talking about). It’s not traditional, traditional Cantonese but more like with a sophisticated turn while still being authentic. We were very surprised that we found this gem and we give it the highest recommendations. The only downside is that I think the portions are too small for the price. We had to order 3 main dishes for 2 persons to get full.

Had the mos incredible Cantonese dining experience tonight at “Eat in Time”. The workers were incredibly informative and welcoming, assisting us with every part of the menu and listing every detail of the food when they arrived. I would heavily recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a good Cantonese restaurant in Copenhagen.

A small but very cozy place with a wonderful atmosphere. The waitress was extremely attentive, as was the owner/chef, which made us feel very welcome. The seating was comfortable, and the art on the walls added a lovely touch. Although the restaurant is quite small, it’s absolutely worth visiting. I had the Lemongrass Garlic Shrimp “A Good Day” and my partner enjoyed the Chicken Main Course “A Leaf of Fire”, followed by the dessert of the day. Everything was beautifully prepared and full of flavor—we were both very satisfied. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Totally delicious, immaculately presented. The menu has great vegetarian options. Warm, personal service, lovely art on the walls, and an intimate vibe. Looking forward to my next visit.

During a long weekend trip to Copenhagen, I had my favorite meal at a charming, off-the-beaten-path restaurant near Carlsberg. With only five or six tables, it offered a cozy, classy, intimate atmosphere, and the owner personally served each dish to guests. The food was outstanding, bursting with flavor and the perfect amount of heat. The shrimp and beef dishes were the highlights of the evening, along with the delicious fried dumplings. Since I couldn't find a menu online, I suspect the offerings change regularly, as other reviews mentioned different items than those I enjoyed. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Copenhagen who has a little extra time to venture outside of city center.
