Great asian affordable take-away located JUST across the street. I recommend ordering a "large number 39" (chicken and vegetables in oyster sauce). They usually take 10-20 minutes to prepare the food.

Indoor street marked with plenty of delicious and exciting offerings. Dishes generally cost between 40-100 DKK and are tasty, but the general size of the dishes may leave you wanting more if you're really hungry. The atmosphere is cozy and hot(!), but there's also a lot of dinning spots outside.
