kini kini - Copenhagen

First time here and first time trying Indonesian food. Would really recommend to start your journey here towards being a foodie. Atmosphere was incredible, such great vibes all around. Staff super nice and helpful. Fx I noticed that the other type of menu had mango salad and they were kind to allow me to order it. Don't sleep on the mango salad! Superb 💗 my favorite of the night was tuna tatar which is a starter yet portions are so big you will find yourself sharing it with your loved ones. Tastes are so fresh and energy giving. Grilled oxtail was also impeccable, on the sweet side but comes with a salty bone broth to balance everything out. Also huuuge portion. Took my man there for birthday dinner, on a whim and what a lucky choice it was. Oh and interior was super cute and even the bathroom had a very special spiritual vibe; what a nice surprise! 🙂 This is the type of restaurant that will make you want to travel, which is such a must visit ☺️

Visited kini kini in 2023, unfortunately didn’t really like the food as it was REALLY spicy (and it has not been stated as something very spicy) I usually love asian food but this wasn’t a hit. Tables are located quite close to each other so more for friendly gatherings than romantic.
Smart idea to book it

Despite great service and a cozy environment the food only gets two stars. This was my first Indonesian restaurant and I ordered Gado Gado and mango salad. Both dishes were extremely sweet to the point of being cloying. Maybe I'm ignorant but I expected more nuanced flavors.

The mango salad was especially disappointing. On the menu it was presented as vegetarian. There was very little mango and the salad dressing tasted distinctly of fish sauce. There goes the vegetarian concept!

I made a comment about it and the waiter affirmed there was indeed fish sauce in the salad. I received a new salad without fish. I've noticed that Asian eateries have a laissez-faire attitude regarding vegetarian food. Make sure to ask about 🐟 fish sauce if you are vegan or vegetarian.

Finally, a bottle of lukewarm tap water costs 40 kr. At that price it must be Grand Cru straight from the water faucet.

An amazing restaurant. The service was great, very attentive staff. The food was incredible and the portion sizes were very large - bit cooked to perfection. Great ambience despite being busy.
Totally recommend and seriously authentic. Great little spot

Et rigtig godt sted, dejlig mad med god smag. Stedet er lille, så en god ide at reservere bord.

Fantastisk mad✌️👌. Jeg fik nr. 24 der var særdeles veltilberedt og velsmagende. Ikke for stærk, med med god smag. Servicen var fin og tilpas. Stemningen var god indtil nogle svenskere indfandt sig. Utroligt så uopdragne de unge mennesker kan være nu om dage, de støjende voldsomt (det er jo ikke restaurantens skyld) men jeg undrede mig over at akustikken ikke var bedre.

Food looked great, service was friendly and the restaurant interior and atmosphere is nice.

The taste of the food however was disappointing. The food was far from being authentic (in particular the beef rendang). That is not a problem in itself if the food tastes good but the issue we had was that the food was way too sweet. The flavors were not bad but the sweetness was just overpowering. The amount of sugar should probably at least be cut in half.

Popular Indonesian restaurant at Nordhavn. The restaurant was busy, even on a Wednesday evening, and the food we had was excellent. Would definitely come back in the future.
