(The restaurant is closed in july 2019) When Nordic ingredients meets Japanese preparation it becomes both intimate and social. We focus on sharing our knowledge of taste to create an open and informal atmosphere. If you give us the opportunity our chefs

I eat sushi often in the UK and I feel like Fangst still managed to make it new and exciting. Every course had a little story, every ingredient a journey to the plate.I have never eaten lettuce and been sad that it was over until now.From the fresh wasabi to the amazingly cooked monkfish it was a brilliant experience and I'm genuinely sad I'm not going to get chance to come again.The staff too were incredibly friendly and chatty, with some great stories of their own!

Our family of four including 2 teens visiting Norway for a week needed a Chinese/Asian meal. Asian Box is a very pretty place with kind service and good food. We were the only ones there eating lunch and the chicken and spices were tasty. Portions are not large like in America Chinese. Nor cheap- it's still expensive but better with $$$ vs. the usual $$$$+ in Norway.Near the center of Oslo on a quiet off street. We parked on the street across from it.In general, we ate at 'home' or took snacks when travelling around town or further. Everything is highly taxed here. You pay more if you sit in vs. take away. I keep thinking if restaurants would just start charging less, business in general would sky rocket. They'd make more money and the government would make more money. And people would truly love to eat out. Win-Win- Win. As it is, who can afford it and really want to eat out often if at all.

Alex Sushi in Solli Plass square in Oslo is one of the city's finer sushi restaurants. The interior is modern and stylish with an open kitchen area where guests sit around an oval table, watching the mastery of the sushi chefs at work. The menu includes a

One of those nights ... the place was recommended, we went to the wrong address first (thanks google maps), lost our reservation but got a space later on.You arrive and the atmosphere is great, a huge sushi bar that holds aprox. 40 people and a couple of tables.We had the luck to sit in front of the sushi man and saw him prepare our food.And once he finished they left the plates rest so the fish could get to room temperature and unfold its full flavour.It was a truly awesome experience, expensive yes, but worthwhile every crown we paid.

Izakaya is a «secret» gem in Oslo, hard to spot if you walk past randomly, a place you definitely return to if you happen to find your way through the hidden door. Superb Japanese food, small, but great sake selection, lovely ambience and friendly staff. The prices are friendly too! Perfect for a snack and a drink after work, perfect for couples at night, perfect for a relaxed night out. I was there with my girlfriend and my father â everyone left happy.

5. Omakase

As others have written, Vladimir Pak offers extraordinary sushi and a memorable evening. I have eaten in many leading sushi restaurants in Europe and nothing compares. The atmosphere, background music, ambiance match the excellence of the food and the optional wine menu. And of course Mr Pak and his two assistance are themselves part of the perfect performance. Yes, dinner is expensive, but a unique culinary experience. Irrespective of one's personal economy, the food may not be for everybody. The tastes aim to be as pure as possible, based on first-class largely Norwegian fish and shellfish, and marvelous sushi rice. For those who can appreciate subtle tastes and textures, welcome to Sushi Heaven.
