Rantzausgade 52, 2200 København, Denmark
· Taiwanese restaurant
· 4.6/5 Google (694 reviews)
Delivery · Takeout · Outdoor seating
Cozy, counter-service Taiwanese spot with standout potstickers, bao, and popcorn chicken; quick, affordable-for-Copenhagen light meals but mixed feedback on braised pork and service, plus no restroom.
Why it gets a B+ for overall quality
Nihao YAO delivers solid neighborhood dining through strong food quality anchored by exceptional potstickers, bao, and popcorn chicken, paired with outstanding service speed. However, occasional consistency dips in braised pork and tight seating with rough acoustics prevent grade A territory. For casual Taiwanese comfort food in Copenhagen, it's a reliable favorite—just expect cozy chaos rather than refined dining.
Restaurant Summary
Tucked on Rantzausgade, this tiny room feels warm and bustling with shared tables, quick counter ordering, and plates that hit the table fast. Guests rave about the potstickers, bao, and popcorn chicken, calling them comforting and craveable. One diner summed up the vibe: "Small, cozy, and the food lands hot and fast." Do note the no restroom on site policy and the room can get loud at peak. The cooking leans Taiwanese comfort over theatrics: bao with tender pork belly, crisp-edged dumplings, noodle soups, and mapo tofu. It is classic and straightforward rather than fussy, ideal for quick meals or casual catchups. Most find flavors satisfying and priced fairly for Copenhagen, though a minority report bland braised pork or average soups. If you love snacks and small plates, start with potstickers and popcorn chicken and add a bao; the bubble milk tea draws praise too. For families, it is kid friendly in practice: bao, fried rice/noodles, and popcorn chicken are easy wins. Seating is tight and there is no restroom, so plan short visits. Portions favor sharing; picky eaters can stick to bao and chicken, while adventurous kids can try noodle soups or sweet taro buns.
