Leaven København

21/06/2024: If you are after an authentic experience in Copenhagen, don't miss this place. Tong Eng is an ordinary Chinese local restaurant that you'd probably find in the back alleys of Shangai or Beijing. But what makes the place special is the Grandma who does not only feed you but also treat your cold :)) Seeing me coughing and with blemishes on my face, she has put oinment on them, gave me a homemade medicine and ginger to treat my cough at home. With my non-existing Danish and her little English we chatted about world issues and she has sent me off with delicous beef & vegetables (heavy on ginger for obvious reason :) ) and homemade springrolls. Thank you very much and will definitely be back while in Copenhagen.

06/05/2024: When you ask me about an authentic Chinese restaurant in Copenhagen, I would definitely recommend this restaurant without hesitation as a Chinese. Gramma is very passionate though you need to be careful about being a punk🤪. However, I wouldn’t think the vibe or decoration should be scary for people cause they are very cute and have their own style. Also you should know grammar wants to know your favor so that she can customize a dish for you, so don’t be shy to speak out what you wanna try and let her search and make some yummy food for you:D btw, I love the decoration which might be not so fancy according to typical western culture standard but if you could open up your eyes, you will find many lovely and interesting family-like stuff. Don’t forget the food is really cheap here but don’t be a dxxkhxxd to exploit the labor and kindness of gramma:)
