Tasty dumplings

Very tasty dumplings. Especially the kimchi ones.

The noodles were good and quite cheap.

Cucumber salad was nothing special but it was good to have something fresh on the side.

Everything in the menu marked with (V) is vegan 🌱

Good-tasting food, but cleanliness could be improved

There are several vegan options on the menu; we tried the vegan dumplings and the two vegan hot sides. They were all quite tasty.

However, cleanliness could be improved: the chopsticks were a bit greasy still, there was some black deposit on one of the glasses, and the table had bits of old food stuck to it. We kind of embraced it as part of the experience (the whole restaurant is a bit worn-down), but it should still be a FYI for new visitors.

The restaurant's ambiance is inviting, with friendly staff and a cozy atmosphere. While the menu is focused on dumplings, the variety of fillings and cooking styles ensures there's something for everyone. Overall, GAO Dumplings earns four stars for its delicious food and enjoyable dining atmosphere.

Great place for quick food

Visited a site in Oster Farimagsgade, by the art gallery. Tried all the vegan dumplings options, which included spinach steamed dumplings, mushroom grilled dumplings and beyond beef kimchi dumplings. All were delicious

Pros: Options, Speed of service , Location

Delicious dumplings and small sides

We ordered all of the vegan dumplings and also tried the double fried tofu as well as the bok choy. Everything was delicious. One portion of dumplings does not equal a whole meal, so be sure to order at least two portions of dumplings.

Simpel und yammi

Viele vegane Optionen. Der Fried tofu ist soft Tofu paniert mit spicy aoli. Super lecker! Die Nudelsuppe und der Gurkensalat sind auch mega lecker! Auch wer für die Dumplings hingeht, kommt nicht zu kurz. Sehr zu empfehlen.
Außerdem einfach für Touristen da man einen Zettel ausfüllt um zu bestellen - Essen und Getränke. So muss man nicht viel sprechen, wenn man da Barrieren hat. Mit Kreditkarte können auch kleine Beträge bezahlt werden.

Pros: Simpel und lecker, Kreditkartenzahlung für kleine Beträge möglich

Been there several times - very tasty and great for company

There are currently two GAO restaurants in Copenhagen (also one in The area of Vesterbro). This one has most vegan dishes available. Try the soup as a starter and try to order dishes to share, if you are with company.

Pros: Tasty, Nice to sit outside., Very cozy inside

Such a good spot

Visited Gao 4 times during our weeklong trip to Copenhagen. Consistent food with a great atmosphere.
Highly recommend the mushroom dumplings, but all the vegan options are amazing.

Note: The cold noodles with roasted nut sauce are vegan if requested without the fish sauce.

Would give 5 stars if I could, but not valid for non-vegan restaurants.

Good vegan dumplings

Good vegan dumplings, just a shame you don't get more of them as they are not filling enough

Pros: Vegan options, Tasty

Cons: Expensive

Cheap, simple, casual

Great place if you are looking for a casual place and don't mind sitting close to other customers. Dumplings are good, a little too much 'dough'(I don't know if that is the correct word), and they could have been fried longer for a bit more crispyness and colour. Fried silken tofu is delicious!

Few vegan options

There are two vegan dumplings options( mushroom and spinach). Both tastes great. There’s also fried silken tofu which is really, really great. Definitely my recommendation. I guess there are also salads as an option which I unfortunately did not have.
