Vietnamese flavors in the heart of Copenhagen 

Cholon is located on the corner of Vingårdsstræde and Nikolaj Square, right in the heart of the city, where Copenhagen buzzes with life. Here, you’ll experience Vietnamese cuisine filled with warmth, energy, and a relaxed atmosphere. 

Behind Cholon is Lam Lê, who, together with his family, was among the pioneers introducing Vietnamese street food to Copenhagen with the iconic LêLê. 

An informal and inclusive place to dine 

The name Cholon means “the big market” and refers to the large market in Saigon’s Chinatown - a place where everyone can stop by, share food, and discover new flavors together. 

That’s exactly the feeling Cholon creates: a lively and inclusive restaurant where everyone is welcome to eat and enjoy. 

4 stars and signature dishes with character 

The kitchen is rooted in Vietnamese cuisine but plays freely with Danish ingredients and modern techniques. The result is dishes with depth, freshness, and personality. 

Berlingske reviewer Søren Frank awards Cholon 4 stars and highlights the house signature, the Cholon roll, calling it nothing less than “next level.”
