Authentic Cantonese food in the heart of Copenhagen

Hidden Dim Sum is a family-owned Cantonese restaurant run by two siblings. It’s situated in the heart of Copenhagen, right next to the courthouse.

Lunch is served in the dining bar beneath the main restaurant on weekdays, which opens after 5 p.m. The dining bar exudes a distinct Hong Kong ambiance, complete with red lighting, neon signs, and wooden furniture that create an authentic feel.

The simple menu features signature Cantonese classics such as BBQ pork buns, wonton noodle soup, and Cantonese egg tarts.

I opted for the cucumber salad and the sweet and sour pork (Gu Lo Yok).

While refreshing, the cucumber salad could have used a bit more depth in flavor—I mostly tasted soy sauce.

Sweet and sour pork has always been one of my favorite Cantonese dishes from childhood, and I consider myself somewhat of a purist when it comes to its flavor. It had been years since I’d experienced that nostalgic taste, but those memories came flooding back with my first bite. The dish was served with a side of perfectly cooked long-grain rice.

Overall, I was very satisfied with my meal and would definitely recommend it.
