Food was delicious but also fairly heavy with the sauces. I might ask for sauce on the side. Hotdog has a great pop and meatballs were delicious. Also justa heads up the burger is made with pork belly, not ground meat.

The food is prepared in house and OH so tasty! SERIOUSLY, the open face trio for lunch was a great deal!! Trying the potato leek soup next time!

Amazing hole in the wall to try authentic Danish cuisine. Owned by a husband and wife who moved from Denmark 5 years ago. She waited on me and was super friendly. Rye bread was loaded with seeds and nuts and exceptionally dense. Sweet pickles and remoulade were delicious, especially on the pickled herring open faced sandwich. Smoked salmon, avocado, and roast beef also available for the less daring. Be sure to get a fresh Danish pastry, easily the best in town!

I was so glad to finally visit Taste of Denmark. Having lived in Sweden, any Scandinavian experience is fun and reminiscent of my time in Sweden so I try to find anything from the Nordic nations to get just a little bit of that taste again. It did not disappoint, although I wasn’t able to order æbleskiver during my visit.

This place is a hidden gem and incredibly delicious. Push past the unassuming no fuss menus and grab a table and try it! I don’t think you will be disappointed. Don’t believe me? Look at their Instagram and the incredibly beautiful food there. We had the hot smoked salmon and the meatballs and gravy and it was great. They started us with a complimentary appetizer that included their homemade rye bread. Finally we had the pancake balls.

It is the only Danish restaurant in SoCal. So you should not miss it. Menu is simple. Owners were very friendly and took care of us during the whole meal. We received a appetizer ( danish bread, some red cabbage, and strawberries) which was very tasty. Food is fresh and made upon order. Quantity is big. You will feel full for sure. The only thing that could be improved is offering some vegetarian/vegan options. It would be very wonderful.

We tried #tasteofdenmark and enjoyed all their dishes. Their #danish version of a #hotdog and #hamburger were a great variety from the usual. I can’t find the other things we ate on the online menu but it was worth a try if you want something unique. Tina really cares about the food she puts out. Don’t miss the fresh bread they make. #truetasteofdenmark

An unexpected joy. The rib roast sandwich is 10/10 — not at all what I was expecting and amazing from texture to flavor to even presentation. Fatty and crispy and meaty all at once, with the saltiness and acidity of the remoulade, paired with the sweetness of the pickled cabbage. Hits every flavor at once. Utterly fantastic.
