Dine in | Dinner | Beside Copenhagen Central Station
💰 kr 150–300 per person
As someone with millions of views on Google Maps, I always look for places that don’t just serve great food — they create memorable experiences. Poon Chai, located just beside Copenhagen Central Station, is one of those places. This Thai restaurant doesn’t just offer a meal — it transports you.

🌟 Ambience
The moment you step inside, you’re immersed in a world that feels genuinely Thai. The décor is rich with golden finishes, statues of Thai deities, traditional artwork, and warm lighting that creates a calming, almost spiritual atmosphere. The space feels thoughtfully designed — like a tribute to Thai culture — and gives you the sense that every detail was chosen with care. It’s both elegant and welcoming, and easily one of the most beautiful Thai interiors I’ve seen in Denmark.
⸻
🙌 Service
The staff were fantastic — warm, welcoming, and attentive without being intrusive. They were helpful with recommendations and created a calm, relaxed environment throughout our visit. It’s clear the people here take pride in their service and are genuinely passionate about what they do.
⸻
📜 Menu
One of the highlights here is the incredible variety — with over 100 items on the menu, there’s something for everyone. From familiar Thai street food to more unique regional dishes, the menu is a dream for anyone who loves Thai cuisine. Whether you’re vegetarian, a seafood lover, or craving bold meat dishes, this menu offers depth, diversity, and inspiration to come back again and again.

🍽 What We Ordered
To begin, we had:
• Thai Iced Tea – Served ice-cold, sweet and creamy, with that classic spiced flavor that makes it such a perfect start. Refreshing and delicious.
• Satay Chicken – Tender and flavorful, served with a rich and silky peanut sauce. It wasn’t grilled, but had a lovely texture and taste that made it a great comfort starter.
• Prawn Chips – Light, crunchy, and served fresh. A classic Thai snack that went really well with the tea.
For mains:
• Tofu Soup – Subtle, clear broth with delicate herbal notes. Light but satisfying — especially good if you want something clean and warming.
• Crispy Chilli Pork – Easily the highlight. Crispy, bold, spicy, and full of flavor. Every bite delivered on texture and taste. A must-try dish if you like a bit of heat.
⸻
✅ Final Verdict
Poon Chai is a must-visit — not only for its food, but for the atmosphere and the sheer care put into every aspect of the experience. Whether you’re just visiting Copenhagen or a local looking for authentic Thai cuisine, this spot offers great value, beautiful surroundings, and dishes that hit the mark.
I’ll absolutely be returning to explore more of the massive menu.

Good tasty food and good service but $41.40 US for a curry and soda for lunch seemed excessive. That said, restaurants in I think are pricier in Copenhagen so I give it a solid 4 stars. At these prices a takeaway sandwich may seem a better bet for a quick lunch.

Good Thai food.
The place is nice although the tables are very close together.
What seems terrible to me is that in this place in Denmark they charge for water.
He must be one of the few who do it claiming that it was ice cold. Absurd!
Another negative thing is that they charge a percentage for paying with a foreign credit card. I argued about this and they reinstated him.

Tuvimos una comida maravillosa aquí un sábado por la noche. Ya estaba muy ocupado temprano por la noche, pero se las arreglaron para encajarnos. El resistente está muy decorado con auténtico arte tailandés por lo que es muy colorido y acogedor.
Probamos el pollo satay, rollitos de primavera, curry rojo, curry massaman y costillas fritas. Todos estaban deliciosos, aunque las costillas eran un poco duro. Cada plato venía con un montón de arroz con jazmín pegajoso. Las cervezas Chang de 1/2 litro también estaban deliciosas.
Una comida bastante cara pero muy buena, así que vale la pena venir como un placer.

Estamos teniendo unas breves vacaciones en Copenhague y probamos varios restaurantes cerca de nuestro hotel. Éste fue tan bueno que visitamos dos veces. Servicio con una sonrisa, toda una rareza. La comida era excelente. Muy sabroso y fresco.
