Banh Mi Cph — Restaurant in Copenhagen Municipality

Extremely disappointed about the taste and authenticity of the lemongrass beef banh mi served here. Beef was crumbly and not juicy at all. Bread was a cheap baguette rather than the fluffy bread that is usually used. Huge chunks of carrots that did not taste pickled at all and I could barely taste the coriander. Finally, the chili-mayo is completely out-of-place and overwhelms the rest of the ingredients. I expected more for 84 kr.

Would give it a 1 for the food, but the waiter was nice and the ambience is light and alright so that's an...

Zis is not a bánh mì. I arrive, no line, nobody at ze comptoir. I go to order. A man who was sitting outside wiz his copine walks in and says I skipped him. I ask, “What line? You were outside speaking!” Ze staff accept his version without question. While I wait, I see a femme vietnamienne sitting calm wiz a calculateur in her hand — she is clearly la patronne. Les femmes d’affaires vietnamiennes always have ze calculateur — those who have been in Vietnam know zis. Ze sandwich arrives. I look and ask, “What is zis?” He says, “It’s your grilled boeuf à la citronnelle bánh mì.” I say, “Zis is not a bánh mì.” Ze sandwich was passable — a parbake baguette from ze box, finished in ze four. Ze viande was not grillée — it was bouillie on a plancha and drowned in thick sauce soja, full of cinq-épices and a bit of poudre de citronnelle. No goût de feu, no caramélisation, no équilibre. Les légumes marinés were soft, no croquant, no fraîcheur. A real bánh mì must have boeuf grillé marinated in citronnelle, ail, nuoc-mâm, sucre, cooked on open feu; une baguette chaude, croustillante, légère et moelleuse; des légumes croquants et acidulés; herbes fraîches et piment — all in harmonie. Zis was not it. La patronne said something and disappeared. No excuse, no explication. I said, “Look at me — do I have ze tête of a touriste?” I know what a real bánh mì is. Zis one was not zat. I will not return. Et je ne recommande pas cet endroit à quelqu’un qui cherche un...

Do not sleep on the wildest growing Elderflower plant with white petals. Apparently, the Danish use this in beverages, and it has wonderful nutritional value. Anh uses herbs (nutritional value with flavor) instead of lettuce (no nutritional value & no flavor) on her sandwiches and meals. I told them...wait for it...it is popping! No slang translation is necessary. They understood me!...
