Mudan Restaurant Frederiksberg

Pre ordered the duck but was told it wasn’t available. Get your system in check and stop over promising.

It's so delicious, my best Chinese restaurant in Copenhagen ♥️

Went there as a group of 4 people and ordered a main dish each. The first person received their food after about 10 minutes, but the next persons dish was only served after about 5-10 minutes afterwards along with the third persons dish. But the last person at our table had to wait an additional 10 minutes despite us telling the server that we were missing a dish. Due to the main dishes being served with around 20 minutes in between, half of the group had to finish their food before the remainder got theirs to avoid it going cold. The food itself was okay, not amongst the best Chinese food in Copenhagen and i feel there are better tasting options available at a similar price point. All in all a quite average dinning experience with an amateurish service/timing on a quiet weekday. We were only around 3-4 fully seated tables at the time of the visit, so the inconsistent serving time was quite baffling.

Very authentic and delicious, reasonably priced.

Went for a late lunch today on a Sunday, so not too many people and it was quiet. The service was friendly and quick, so very professional and accommodating, which I appreciate. We chose "Deep-fried pork in dark soya sauce with sivri pepper" and "Stir-fried choy sum" that came with boiled rice (it looked like Basmati, but I forgot to ask). I got a beer Brooklyn Stonewall Inn IPA and my wife chose Jasmin tea. It was a great lunch! The food was well prepared with ingredients definitely fresh, and I definitely enjoyed the crisp and great flavour of the deep fried pork, and the crisp and joyful choy sum as a vegetable fitting the pork very well. Coming as a very small group, or just one person, the very common Chinese style of menus might be a challenge. Because one dish may be large enough to feed one person, but they are very focused on the one item they serve. This fits well with larger companies that may choose a varied set of menus/dishes where everyone can choose from each dish. If you are just a single person that can't eat a lot, finding a menu with a variety of meat or chicken, vegetables and rice or noodles, is a challenge. This is not a critique, just an observation that one must be aware of, especially if not used to the Chinese cuisine. Finally, I choose a Brooklyn beer because it was available as a draft beer. If Tsingtao had been available as draft, I would have chosen it. It is a beer that works well with Chinese foods, but I only drink draft beers when I visit a restaurant.

I have tried this restaurant many times over these years and recently I found the overall experience was much worse than before. The food taste is degraded and the price went much higher. I would not recommend it to my friends anymore tbh
