I ordered the Phad thai and my husband and the chow mein. It did not disappoint! They were generous with the protein. We had large pieces of shrimp and very soft chicken in our entrees. It's a cheap eat place nothing fancy but fast, clean, and tasty!

The appetizers were delicious as the dumplings were so juicy and tasty. I had gotten a Chinese meal (they offer various asian cuisines) that was strips of fried beef with onions, peppers, and carrots. It was really tasty, and had a unique flavor I had never had before. I wish there was a bit more sauce in this meal, and that the beer selection could have been a tiny bit better. Otherwise I had a great time!

This place is located just down the road from Hotel Continental. It's right on the main road across…read morefrom the park, adjacent to the parliament building. We arrived at 5:30pm, without a reservation, and they were able to accommodate us, though mentioned they'd prefer we finish up within 90 minutes. The tables around us definitely turned at least once during our time there, so they're quite proficient with their service, handily ferrying people through their dinner and our the door, expeditiously. As for dinner, we started out with the prawn chips, which were as good as they ever are (and later, we learned are all pre-fried and stored in a large bin and simply portioned out with each individual order). My friend and I both then had our own bowl of hot and sour soup (one bowl could be shared by two people, if neither of you are particularly hungry). If you love spice, you'll love this soup. Good flavors, most definitely spicy (said as someone who loves spicy food). We then both had stir fried veggies (carrots, mushrooms, snapped peas, and baby corn) with chicken and prawns, in a brown sauce, which we both liked OK (liked, not loved). Overall, we thought it was all OK, and service itself was attentive and good, but we weren't wowed as much as we hoped we'd be. We'd likely explore another option rather than coming back, though truth be told, this place isn't necessarily bad. Just...OK.

This was decent sushi…read more I ordered the large sushi set. The size description is fair being called large. The rice execution was good. The quality of the tuna, whitefish, and shrimp were all fairly mediocre. There wasn't anything wrong with them, but the texture definitely tasted very much like the quality and age of the fish were safe, but not extremely fresh. That said, the salmon was excellent. I think Norway simply does salmon better than other fish. The mouthfeel was smooth and the fatty flavors came through on the palate. Overall, this place serves a decent lunch at the going rate for such things in Oslo.

The husband an I live right across the street from this place, and we feel really stupid that we…read morejust now have tried it... we've been in Oslo for 4ish months and have been totally missing out! Honestly we never have gone in because we assumed based on review comments and the Yelp $$$ signs that it was too pricey, but we learned it's not cheap how ever you get what you pay for!! Do not leave here without trying the Valcano Roll... it's not really a roll, it's a pile of deliciousness piled with shrimp deliciousness. It's huge, and at NOK185 it's a bargain... definitely enough to feed two, unless you're feeling extremely porky (like my husband). We also ordered noodles that were really good, not too salty and of decent portion. We also got a salmon roll which had huge chunks of fish on it, I believe it was NOK95? Anyway, good prices for what you get, really good friendly service, and they have a great patio too!!! EAT HERE PEOPLE! Now!

Jonoe has quickly become my favourite local sushi place, and I eat here about once a month…read more The sushi is quite innovative, and they offer combinations I haven't seen at other sushi places. Also (a crucial point), they are very good at creating flavour combos that work well. The quality of fish (which is my main judging criterion for sushi) is excellent. I always order the sashimi with ponzu sauce. Although not the best in town, the maki rolls are well-made - it must be said that they often are somewhat too large, making it difficult to eat in one bite. The sushi is also always beautifully presented, which I think is an important point when eating sushi at a restaurant (as opposed to having take-away). The staff usually consists of two waiters, where one is extremely friendly, and the other is much less so. This has become something of an amusement, and doesnt bother me too much.

We were in Oslo last week and wanted to try the local seafood. We had two restaurants in mind and…read moredecided to go to Solsiden. Upon arrival, I was greeted by a nice young lady and asked her for a table for 5. She said, hold on and that she would be right back. Less than 30 seconds later, a skinny man in all black with a thin mustache comes up to the front. He looks at me, no greeting, no smile, and then with this look and a roll of his head of what do you want, said, "yes?" I told him, the other female was already helping us. He then said, what do you want. I proceeded to tell him we were wanting a table for 5. He then said, we have no table when clearly there were tables open and no one else waiting. My husband then said, well she told us to wait. He replies with, "She is a nobody here. Just a waitress. She knows nothing. We cannot seat you." We travel to a foreign country only to be met with racism! Asian group walks in and automatically turns us away. Thankfully this was our only bad experience in Norway. All I have to say to that man is you did us a favor because we ended up at Lofoten and had the best meal and service ever! Spent over a $1,000 on our bill and didn't care. And in the words of Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, "Big... BIG MISTAKE!"

Everything here was simply, just fair or special, not good and not great considering it's reputation and price. Upon our arrival the host stand seem to be the beginning of confusion and poor service. It's one of those restaurants with all hands on deck causes too many hands in the pot! Once seated several people came to assist us and it wasn't because of the language barrier each one of them spoke English fluently. We placed our order, got our food, ate it was full but not necessarily satisfied. There was one server she was pretty decent but the rest of the experience was mediocre. The only standout were the scallops, perfectly cooked and delicious. Look at the pictures because I really don't have the energy to discuss my average meal! Would I go back or suggest this restaurant? NOPE!

They have different daily student specials that are reasonably priced. They also have fried noodles served in the traditional Chinese take-out boxes.
