GAO Dumpling Bar — Restaurant in Copenhagen Municipality

On the expensive side, thin rapper, decent amount of filling, extremely good dipping sauce (a reduction a soy sauce and maybe oyster sauce mixed with chilli oil - a delicious gooeyness) ...byt unfortunately the filling completely bland... Reading the website the owner said he was trying to bring over the Hong Kong taste... What made me very sad was...that he must have had an amount of passion for food, cooking and dumplings to end up opening a business on a different continent... I'm wondering what made him lose this passion to end up producing a dish that has nothing in common with the real stuff... It really made me very sad...mostly because these is not a money related issues as a pork dumpling is made with basic ingredients...pork, green onion, ginger, sesame oil and from here a world of possibilities...my point is that you don't need expensive ingredients to make a good dumpling...you need love...and this is what these dumplings were lacking and you...

Frozen dumplings, sticky tables & inattentive staff

Prices seeming competitive and interesting menu reeled us in - we were quickly disappointed. The wait time was incredibly long considering that the cucumbers in the salad were intensely dry, the dressing not even mixed in, and that the dumplings are frozen.

Seated near the kitchen, we could see the cook - hair hanging out of her pigtails - hauling HUGE bags of frozen dumplings from the window and into the pan. If the flavours of the dumplings were at least good, we could forgive it. But the are not at all. The beyond beef & kimchi dumplings were beyond saving, and the mushroom dumplings were gummy and sad.

The choice of sauces was also almost non-existent, the sauce provided on the table was splitting, and tables were super sticky.

This is just not it fam,...

Waiter didn't communicate, She went in and out of the kitchen a couple of times while I was at the bar hoping to order. We should have left then.

They were clearly understaffed. We waited more than 20 minutes and had seen no food coming out of the kitchen. I tried to cancel our order (we went for streetfood due to lack of time) but the waiter didn't know how to do that. She called someone on the phone and left the room and me waiting for five minutes. Then I was told she didn't know how to cancel an order but the food was ready and all the food (4 or 5 orders) would be served at the same time.

After another 5 og 10 minutes we were served about half of the order. By then we had run out of both time and patience and left.

UPDATE: I emailed them right away, as they asked me to. It's been two weeks now...
