Pretty busy, even at 830am on a Saturday! The nurse we had was not that great when drawing blood, a dime size blood spot on the bandage afterwards
Good spot for grilled skewers but nothing seemed to really shine except the chicken thighs. Everything was grilled to medium doneness which made beef items a little more tougher. Maybe they need to cook closer to the coals, the beef tongue and beef short ribs were a bit overcooked - could greatly benefit if cooked to medium rare.

Service was good. The atmosphere felt lively.
Wonderful place for takeout dim sum. One of the rare places that have a crispy taro pork dim sum. Also a great place for roast duck, egg tarts, har gow, and more. By late lunch many of the cooked entrees looked to be sold out.

Service was kind and fast. The atmosphere was casual.

Went on a weekday and while the food is filling it seems far from good. Not sure how close to authentic Danish food this is.

The meatball sandwich: bland meatballs, a single lettuce slice which caused everything to slide off. This is the main reason for two stars. Consider skipping all open faced sandwiches here. The potato salad, lightly flavored.

The sausage plate: sausages were lightly seasoned, mashed potatoes were ok although the gravy was very light in flavor, the red cabbage sweet, and the pickles were possibly best. The veggie soup was normal and heavy on the tomato taste, accompanying bread slices just ok.

The service was fast since there weren't many customers during a weekday lunch. The atmosphere felt cozy in an old fashioned kind of way.
Loved the beef koobideh kabob plate, grilled to juicy perfection. The accompanying salad, yogurt dressing, and rice were also good.

Also had the trio sampler of:

Mast Khiar
Veggie. Gluten free. Yogurt mixed with chopped Persian cucumber and mint.

Addas Polo Veggie. Gluten free. Rice mixed with lentil, raisin, date and fried onion.

Roasted Eggplant Dip
Veggie. Gluten free. Roasted and seasoned eggplant with caramelized onion, fried mint and a yogurt sauce topping.

The yogurt dip was refreshing, the mixed rice perfect (if only this came with the kabob plates), and the eggplant dip was finely mixed.

Service was fast. The ambiance felt very down to earth.
