Keyser Social

We visited Keyser Social a few weeks ago where we tried their phenomenal tasting menu. We were heavily impressed by the culinary variety and attention to detail. The sommelier elevated the experience through his exquisite wine choices. Definitely worth a visit!

Menu of 13 course Snacks were amazing. All three has its unique balance. Starters I only like Gyoz Gyoza, the lemon grass and chili has a good kick. Tom yum soup is too salty and thick for me. Halibut yuzi sauce also too salty and not matching coconut meat. Entrees Shrimp was excellent with balance of Zizu. Pork was tasty but also thick in sauce. Endives had excellent balance by grilling. One unfortunate small defect, there was a small peanut that was not fresh. I was already full by then and I still had 3 main dishes to go and 1 dessert.😮‍💨 Main dishes Chick was ok but lotus root was my delight with tarragon. Rice was my favorite among main dishes, Pak Choi was what Pak Choi should taste like. Dessert Well… matcha is not my thing

Keyser Social was amazing. We did the Sunday Omakase and the flavours were so yummy and interesting. The service was great, in particular Valentino was fab, he was so attentive, funny and charming. I’d recommend this to anyone for their time in Copenhagen. It was good value for the amount of food you got and also it’s high quality!

I went to Keyser Social for their 13-course tasting menu, priced at 500 kroner – very fair considering the amount and variety of food. The restaurant serves Asian fusion, mixing elements from different Asian cuisines with a Danish twist. It’s a good introduction if you’re not too familiar with Asian food, as the flavours are kept quite subtle and accessible not too unusual. As someone who loves Asian food and has travelled extensively in Asia, I found the dishes a bit too safe. The flavours were toned down, and overall it felt more tailored to a Danish palate. Thai influences were dominant throughout the menu, which at times overwhelmed the more delicate flavours from other cuisines like Japanese. That said, the experience was enjoyable. I had two cocktails, both well made. The fried romaine salad with chilli and soy was a highlight, and the beef ribs with barbecue sauce were also very good. The dessert – a matcha tiramisu – was a bit underwhelming, and I wouldn’t have minded a second dessert given the number of savoury courses. All in all, a solid experience, just not very bold in flavour. 4/5.

Ordered the 10 course tasting menu, overall I would say the portion is great. Taste wise, not so sure. Asian fusions are usually a hit or miss, in this case, it would be a miss for me. There were some questionable taste - or contrasting flavours. Eg. the gyoza, tomyum pickled mushroom soup or the halibut drowned in soy sauce.. Anyway gave it 3 stars because the service was impeccable and quality of the food is great. Unfortunately not the execution of the flavours.

Good, but safe. The food is self-proclaimed fusion between Danish, Japanese, Thai and Philippine cusine. I would say that apart from a bit of macha, soya, silk tofu and barely noticeable yuzu, it is mostly inspired by the Thai kitchen. We had six dishes with variants of green curry, tom yum, and fried rice which all felt very Thai. We had tatar and pulled duck, which mostly tasted Danish. The most prominently Japanese dish, was the macha creme tiramisu, and gyoza with silk tofu. But both dishes has their distinct tastes adjusted for the Danish audience. Having visited 25+ Asian restaurant in Copenhagen, and having spent more than a year travelling Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Philippines, Taiwan and so on, I would say this food was mostly Thai, and there is no shame in that, but it just wasn't what we were expecting given the price. The two best dishes were the grilled short ribs and the rosmarine. Which ere both good. There are definitely many better Asian restaurants in Copenhagen, but if you want to play it safe then Kayser Social won't let your down. The food will neither surprise nor dissapoint.

Amazing food and even better service - all the staff are so warm, friendly and knowledgeable. The tuna from the 10 course tasting menu was our favourite dish. A very reasonable price for the quality of food we had! The cucumber chilli cocktail is also highly recommended - just the right amount of spice!

On a Sunday the do an omakase tasting menu, where the chef does as they please and you have no idea what you're getting. It's super fun and well priced, definitely worth experiencing.
