Love the vintage vibe in the cafe and it's spacious! We (two adults and one baby stroller) tried going to several other cafes but there was either no room for the stroller or no seating. I ordered the toasted sandwich with wild mushrooms - so delicious! It was served hot and crispy and with a smile :-). They don't usually do flavored lattes but the barista offered to put some of their home made caramel in our lattes. Omg it was divine!! My experience with customer service in Norway hasn't always been the best so I was very impressed by her kindness and offering us something out of the box .

Should have used that as my cue *not* to eat at Khab Thai, which is horribly overpriced. I know Oslo is an expensive city, but at almost $18, which I would expect at a nice restaurant, but instead got something no better than a microwave meal. The employee was socializing with two women at another booth across the way before bothering to come over to me. I knew something was up when he made me scan my card twice for the meal (and I was charged twice). Clearly, people who eat here are probably half drunk and never been to the parts of Asia that these booths claim to make food from. Hard pass.

4 Gringos is a revolución! Not only is it the first taco truck, it also serves enlightened tacos…read more This is no TacoBell-style fredagstaco with old ground beef, grated Norvegia and hard Eldorado shells. At 4 Gringos they are serious about their quality proteins: marinated beef, pulled pork, chicken, or refrito beans, and dress each one with its own character. The combination is explosive - each juicy bite is extremely flavorful, and anyone used to classic "Nor-Mex" would be dizzied by the spectra of taste of these badass tacos. The usual run of info: you can order big snack 2 soft-shell tacos for 70 noks (hipster), up to large meal 4 for 130 noks (fiesta) with a choice of beef/pork/chicken/beans, served out with a set of three/four toppings of their design. The beef is probably the best, the pulled pork second. They also have toasted quesadillas and mixed burritos. You eat outdoors without a table: while sitting around Youngstorget's fountain is nice in the summer, it can be less pleasant in cold winters. It's not perfect: the luscious toppings can be a little too messy for a one-handed taco dining, and make the taco shells too soggy to hold it together. Many trucks in USA serve up double tortillas for this exact problem, and they could have done that here. Also, I do think they are victims of their own creativity and being overly complex. Each taco had 5-6 flavors going on, and I prefer 4-5 for cleaner palate. Or, you should not order a fiesta of all 4 flavors, like I did! :) The food is competitive with some of the best sit-down tacos around. Taco Republica may have better-made cochinita pibil but they cost a fortune, whereas 4 Gringos is affordable and unique in giving what we the people need more of - a pioneering no-frills, damn good food truck.

Two tacos cost NOK 70. You can choose from chicken, beef and vegetarian (some kind of beans) at the moment, and pork is to be added to the menu shortly. They can also make it as a quesadillas. Additionally they offered chicken chili soup for NOK 60. When I ordered two tacos I got a little taster of the soup to warm myself on. A welcoming treat in the cold. They are open every Saturday now, but told me they plan to expand to Thursdays and Fridays as well, and in the long term they hope to stay open 7 days a week - all year.

I love the colour of the truck and how they have paid attention to little details on it. It's a smart idea and if you ever see it in front of you don't hesitate to try it. It often can be found in the beginning of Aker Brygge. Keep an eye for it!

It makes sense though, Norway having access to such tasty fish that a poke place would open up. The staff at the Pacific Poke truck is super nice and makes up delicious poke bowls. I wouldn't call them traditional as far as Hawaiian standards, they definitely have a Norwegian spin. That being said they are quite excellent and addicting. My favorite is the Spicy taco one... Which isn't really a taco, but the combo of fish, tortilla chips, rice, spicy sauce etc is bomb! They have a punch card, so it's definitely a spot we will visit often, dare I say at least once a week or possibly more!

The next biggest food trend is here in Norway...poke bowls! Poke is the Hawaiian cousin of sashimi…read moreand has been gaining popularity in the US in the last several years. I personally am a poke fan way before it was fashionable. Poke bowl in Aker Brygge is perhaps the first to introduce poke to the Norwegian market. There were various style of poke using either salmon or tuna. Being a traditionalist, I chose the spicy shoyu tuna. The tuna was nice and firm. Rice was proper short grain rice used for sushi. The spicy shoyu sauce was quite flavorable and really carried the dish. The bowl also had a sour element using pickled onions and wakame salad. My only negative comments would be that the poke was not marinated in shoyu. This is what seperates Hawaiian poke from mainstream poke sold in the US. The fish should have taken in all of the shoyu flavor, but the shoyu rather was added after when serving. The other is price. For the amount I paid for my bowl, I would have expected more tuna and rice. Then again this is Oslo and food will cost you an arm and a leg! Other than that, Poke Bowl is a great addition to the food scene in Oslo and would recommend to anybody wanting to have an intro to Hawaiian delicacy.

The menu listed just waffles (choose up to three toppings) and ice cream (which could also be a topping). We tried the butter, jam and brown cheese (brunost) combination.
