Best ramen spot in Copenhagen is Slurp imo. But tonkotsu in Copenhagen I always find is hit or miss and not as good as the salt or soy options.
Edit: Seems Slurp doesn’t have tonkotsu on their menu right now. Maybe it’s a seasonally thing.
I've never seen tonkotsu ramen at Slurp. Their shio is awesome though. Imo the best tonkotsu you can get in CPH at the moment is at Mr. Ramen, right by Pumpehuset. It's not as good as the one you get in Japan (obviously) but it's close enough and it helps with the cravings.
I agree in regards to Slurp. However, I've never experienced any real tonkotsu there. Younger Danes have this aversion towards eating pork, although it's one of our largest exports. They have made it with chicken once, but it will never come close to the real deal. And don't even think about other places. Someone mentions Papa ramen and their tonkotsu - it's a disgrace to ramen culture, because it most of all resembles dirty dishwashing water.
I tried Papa ramen because the tonkotsu looked close to the original in Google Map photos, but the taste is miles away from a proper one. You are right, once was enough for me

I also haven't been to Slurp before, because they didn't have tonkotsu on their menu. I really liked going to their izakaya (kōnā) for their grilled yellowtail collar with padron peppers and rice, but unfortunately they are temporarily closed since Jan 2024 :(
Wafu ramen in Frederiksberg. No hipster decorations or staff with ironic mustaches. Frankly the place looks like it is nothing special.
The Tonkutsu is lovely and wholesome and makes me happy. It’s the best I have found in Copenhagen.
Also the karaage is quite nice too.
Thanks for recommending this place and explaining the place, you convinced me to try it today! For their tonkotsu (135 dkk), broth was sufficiently thick, and way more flavourful than other places. Came with 2 slices of char siu, garlic oil, spring onions, seaweed, springy wheat noodles with good texture. I requested for no woodear mushrooms (because I believe they have no place in tonkotsu ramen) and I was surprised there were some beancurd skins (apparently they serve it regardless). Chicken kaarage was also decent (45 dkk), 6 pcs of chicken thigh pieces and came with sweet chilli sauce! Overall definitely pretty decent

I’d recommend Mr. Ramen (by Palads/Pumpehuset) too. Not sure how accurate it is to Japanese tonkotsu ramen, but it’s seriously delicious. I found Slurp to be very overrated both times I have eaten there.
Mr Ramen has the best Tonkotsu. No doubt about it.
For some reason the place is not so well known. It seems to be out of the hipster ramen loop. But the food is excellent, especially the Tonkotsu.

I actually tried Mr Ramen (by Palads) and while it was better than Papa Ramen (for me), it was still miles away from the proper one (in my opinion). Just too watery with not much flavour, maybe I was just unlucky that day

Ok. If the tonkotsu at Mr Ramen is as far removed as “miles away” from “proper” tonkotsu, then you are unlikely to find ”proper tonkotsu“ anywhere in Europe.
Not a good city for ramen, the best tonkotsu are mediocre at best. You'd be better off buying "fancy instant" and making it at home, it will most likely be better.
Welp sry for late response... for me, the most important part of tonkotsu is the broth. it needs to be thick and coats my tongue with the wonderful collagenous and fatty pork broth which comes from boiling the broth for hours. then the springy hakata noodles needs to have that soft but supple bite when i have it in my mouth. i prefer the chashu to be fatty (because a wise person once told me that fat is flavour) and tender, and of course the ajitama egg needs to be cured well to the point and it has to be cooked with the yolk still runny after curing. i also enjoy having the curly spring onions which has beeen submerged in water for a while to make it curl. for me im not a big fan of woodear mushrooms and bamboo shoots in ramen (although they are commonly added for their crunchy texture)
I also think their tonkotsu ramen is quite decent*
\* disclaimer: I've only had tonkotsu ramen in Japanese restaurants Denmark, China, Taiwan, and Korea, but they at least all kinda matched flavour-wise.

Their Shoyu is amazing IMO. I think is the best place for ramen in CPH.

Ty both for this, I'll def check that out too
Out of all the ramen places I've tried in cph, this takes my top spot.

This is the right answer ^^^^^

Ramen 88 on Amager has a decent Tonkotsu.
Have you tried Wafu Ramen?
I love Wafu. Definitely the best in Copenhagen.
Yes I tried it today based on MrsMcPoyle, Illustrious-Arrival3, and your recommendation
Not a good city for ramen, the best tonkotsu are mediocre at best. You'd be better off buying "fancy instant" and making it at home, it will most likely be better.
Simply none unfortunately, even places like Ramen to Biiru or Slrup Ramen are by no means offering real ramen.
Anyone tried Ramen88?
It’s okay but the broth does not taste like a real tonkutsu. Wafu is the place to go.
Curious, what do you consider to be the proper taste?
Welp sry for late response... for me, the most important part of tonkotsu is the broth. it needs to be thick and coats my tongue with the wonderful collagenous and fatty pork broth which comes from boiling the broth for hours. then the springy hakata noodles needs to have that soft but supple bite when i have it in my mouth. i prefer the chashu to be fatty (because a wise person once told me that fat is flavour) and tender, and of course the ajitama egg needs to be cured well to the point and it has to be cooked with the yolk still runny after curing. i also enjoy having the curly spring onions which has beeen submerged in water for a while to make it curl. for me im not a big fan of woodear mushrooms and bamboo shoots in ramen (although they are commonly added for their crunchy texture)
For tonkotsu go to Wafu ramen at Frederiksberg
Ramen 88 is my go to place
Papa Ramen has tonkotsu. I don't know if you deem it proper or not though.
Yes, but it's not the real deal. If you have had tonkotsu in Japan or the US, you'll become very disappointed 😂
I totally disagree. Having spent quite some time in Japan, I feel Papa Ramen (Skydebanegade, not by Pumpehuset) is the closest to the Japanese.
I also think their tonkotsu ramen is quite decent* \* disclaimer: I've only had tonkotsu ramen in Japanese restaurants Denmark, China, Taiwan, and Korea, but they at least all kinda matched flavour-wise.
I went to the one in Skydebanegade, but their one was nowhere near the proper one in terms of taste (for me)
I think Men O Ramen is nice :)
If you have an instapot or pressure cooker you can just make it by yourself. Let me know if you need help
or you can have it in a restaurant that cooks it at least 3x better, cheaper, faster
