We wanted to eat Korean food, so we went through the trouble of finding Gangnam Restaurant. We found out that you need to make a reservation to dine there, and they only accept walk-in customers if you're lucky. We were unaware of the local situation, but we noticed that there were a few empty tables. However, the staff were unfriendly, and the food was almost inedible. The bibimbap was too sweet, and the dakgangjeong was so salty that we couldn't finish it. I do not recommend this restaurant."

The bibimba was a bit Oily and the egg was over cooked. I much prefer the bibimba served in Tintin, another restaurant.

We'd enjoyed a series of great Nordic-style meals on our trip to Copenhagen and then Oslo. But, on…read moreour last night with our granddaughter in Oslo, we craved a change from all those delicious steamed-in-cream muscles, tasty baked salmon and classic smoresbords. Izakaya fit the bill. In fact, it may have ended up being the best meal of our week-long trip. Yes, as you've read and can see from other Yelpers' photos, it's teeny tiny inside. But, when you get lucky and get seated, it's nice and cozy. You certainly aren't merely one 2-top in a long boring row of tables that's for sure. There's no sign outside but because it has a distinctive look on the exterior (see photos of the heavy grillwork on the windows) you really can't miss it. A Yelper's description of 'Japanese tapas' is right on the mark, tho this is a bit of mixed metaphor. Dishes (especially the last two below) are relatively small. Maybe four dishes will do for two people but you'll likely end up as we three did: wanting a bit more. We started with the Gyoza. Definitely delicious and served piping hot. Next was Bang Bang Ji - shredded chicken, julienned cucumber, and a spicy sauce. Good and a nice prelude to the Mazemen. Our hands-down favorite of the night was the Mazemen, broth-less ramen with a delicious sauce, oil, and toppings. Especially delicious with the egg (poached?) mixed in. Had we immediately ordered another three more bowls of this wonderfully tasty dish I doubt if there'd have been much of an objection! Okonomiyaki - a savory pancake. Good. We didn't want to leave without a bit more. So, we ordered the Senmaizuke, pickled turnip and chili with a sweet, tangy vinegar marinade, and the Shiitake no fukumeni, mushrooms simmered in a sweet and savory broth. Both of these relatively small dishes were quite delicious - but really would have tasted best as early appetizers. The Kirin beer really hit the spot. Service was quick and efficient. Pacing was fine with no rush despite the line that had formed in the little foyer. YELPER HINT: if you're stuck in the line but thirsty, you can go on in and stand at a small (2 ft. wide) open section of the bar and order/pay for beers (not sure about their cocktails) and then re-take your place in line. In short, Izakaya could - and likely will - provide your tastiest, most interesting and perhaps even your most delicious meal in wonderful Oslo.

Born out of the legacy of Pjoltergeist Chef Atli Mar Yngvasson opened Katla, a space named after an…read moreIcelandic volcano that serves a nightly tasting and bar bites focused on flavors from Korea, Thailand and Mexico. Migrated from a small basement to soaring ceilings and 45 seats, the open kitchen with lots of fire stretched in front of a larger one in back, Katla utilizes mostly local ingredients but bold flavors and family-style service to impart a vibe matched to 80s rock playing a bit too loudly overhead. Quite the opposite of "New Nordic," Atli's cooking more focused on Meat and Salt than Flowers or fermentation, it is with Frozen Margaritas in hand that most guests get started on small bites including August's Pork Rinds matched to Bacon Aioli and Crab Tostadas complimented by creamy Avocado. Lighted by lamps and expansive windows, service not particularly friendly but efficient, course three finds Turnips softened by Milk amidst Mussels and Roe while its follow-up of spicy Prawns are good are their own but better atop fluffy freshly steamed Bao. Loading everything with Umami, quite unlike his Scandinavian contemporaries, Turbot arrives next in a sizable portion flecked with char, each bite picked or sucked from the bone nicely cooked and ready to be eaten on its own or augmented by condiments including Salsa, Peppers or Rice. Open late at the bar, Pepper Crab a favorite amongst walk-ins choosing to eat a la carte, Katla's Duck Mole eats every bit as earthy and aromatic as many in Mexico while Dessert of housemade Chips, Coconut Sorbet and piquant Chocolate is as tasty as it is simple.

I tried also the spicy tartare salmon that was really good! However the restaurant looses points for bad service. The guy who served us barely understood English and apart from that, the girl at the end gave us a comment about not having wine in our glasses anymore. She said: do you want something else because I see your glasses are empty. And she said in a mean-angry tone like give the table or order something. And we had literally just finished and it was not the only comment we got from her. So 3 stars for bad service, otherwise I would give 4.
