"Kappo Andō was 10 years in the making, but the wait paid off. It occupies a corner site just outside the city centre and is divided into two different areas, with seats available at a dark wood counter, as well as at regular tables in a second room. The décor is a perfect fit for the contemporary Japanese cooking, where flavoursome dishes are underpinned by quality ingredients. The 'yakitori of the day' allows you to enjoy the smoky flavours of meat cooked over binchotan charcoal and they also open twice a month for ‘Yakitori Sunday’. An extensive sake selection adds to the whole experience." - Michelin Inspector

Koan Review - Copenhagen - The Infatuation

"Koan is truly a product of the COVID-19 era. The Danish-Korean pop-up opened after the first round of city-wide lockdowns, only to close again suddenly during the second. Thankfully, it’s found a new home at the former site of Relæ in Nørrebro, a restaurant where head chef Kristian Baumann cut his teeth. The new site has an open kitchen, where you can watch the team delicately plate the tasting menu. While the presentation is refined, the food is ultimately deeply personal, like reading old love letters between South Korea and Denmark, as the head chef seeks to learn more about his home country from his adoptive one while blending cuisines. The tell-tale signs of New Nordic are present, but amongst them are surprising twists like a donut course in place of the typical sourdough bread; scallops from Norway with rice wine and honey truffles; and fjord shrimp dumplings with spicy red Korean peppers." - Sorcha McCrory

Amazing haute cuisine! Very very friendly staff that was able to explain every detail about the menu. We were seated at the counter which was absolutely amazing because we could watch them prepare all the food right in front of us. It is pricey but the food and the atmosphere are worth the money. Would highly recommend.

Great and authentic Japanese experience! My wife and I have over the years spend several months in Japan, and we just love the food and culture there. Kappo Ando successfully captures this essens and delivers delicious foods! Sake, tofu, yakitori, sashimi, miso, yuzu, shitake, karage, meal sets, they have it all! This is not fusion food, where Japanese dishes are translated into non-offensive European versions that taste like nothing. At Kappo Ando all the original Japanese flavours are maintained and you are transported right to Japan. My favorite dishes were the yakitori and the tofu starter, but all the dishes were great. Would recommended! The staff is professional and welcoming, the setting is modern and very Japanese, and the food is great. I still have to find out what that movie poster for a tentacle monster movie was all about 🤔😜

Slightly slow start into this evening. Once things started rolling it was an absolutely memorable night - some dishes bordering on an out-of-body experience. The sake/wine pairing was excellent as well. Highly recommended!

Thus offers a delightful dining experience with a well-crafted menu and the option to add extra dishes, which is a great touch. I chose to add tuna sashimi, which was incredibly fresh and delicious. Among the dishes on the menu, I particularly enjoyed the Braised pork belly and vegetables in a marinade, which had a perfect balance of flavors and textures. On the other hand, the dish that impressed me the least was the thinly sliced beef, which I found somewhat lacking in character. The staff was warm and welcoming, making the experience even more enjoyable. However, the service was quite slow at times, with long waits between certain courses, which slightly disrupted the flow of the meal. That being said, the value for money is excellent, and despite the slow service, I will definitely return to explore more of their specialties.

I went to Kappo Andō with my husband and had the tasting menu with a few add-ons. I added the bluefin tuna, yakitori, and crispy grilled chicken, along with a cocktail, sake, and a beer. Everything was amazing and full of flavor. The food tasted incredibly authentic, instantly taking me back to all the times my husband and I have traveled around Japan. The atmosphere was also super nice and cozy. I loved how you sit at the table omakase-style, watching the chefs work their magic. As for the food, it was absolutely delicious. My favorite dish was the last one "trout with rice" where every flavor blended perfectly. The yakitori was also outstanding, and I’d highly recommend adding it. The grilled flavor of the chicken was insane, unlike anything you’d find elsewhere. Plus, you get to see the chef prepare it on a real yakitori grill. For drinks, I thoroughly enjoyed everything I had. My first cocktail, "The Rising Sun," was so good I could have drunk it nonstop. The combination of rhubarb and yuzu’s sweetness and sourness with the mild smokiness of the liquor was simply perfect. The sake I had was also excellent and paired beautifully with the food. The staff was super friendly and welcoming, and we even had a few nice chats with the owner. Remember to visit the bathroom for a nice surprise 😉 For fine dining and a Michelin-recommended restaurant, the price was actually very reasonable for what you got. I would definitely recommend this place and might even come back for Yakitori Sunday!

A dinner made in Japan during the Yakitori Sunday. Excellent food and Sake selection to taste real Japanese cuisine

Tried in December 2023. Got the tasting menu and a few extra dishes. The owner was extremely nice and friendly and the food was generally good. The ingredients were clearly of good quality and you could feel the attention to detail and effort put into the food. The taste of the dishes ranged from okay to really good, but I wouldn't say that anything was particularly amazing. Watching the yakitori being cooked was nice, but oh so different from what I saw in Japan. Here, the grill was very small and only a few skewers were being cooked carefully at any time, whereas in Japan I was impressed with the grill master's ability to cook dozens of skewers in parallel. Overall, a pleasant experience, but not exactly a "must try*, in my opinion.
