Restaurant Guide Norway 2024: The 5 Best Asian Restaurants in Norway
With its location inside the beautiful Sommerro Hotel, Plah truly is a hidden gem. Chef Terje Ommundsen is THE authority of Thai food in Norway, and his innovative menu elevates classics into fine dining. The guests are seated by the counter alongside the open kitchen with a perfect view of the chefs at work.
Omakase Chef Roger Asakil Joya serves a style of sushi called Edomae using locally caught produce, at the 10-seat counter of this lovely restaurant. The Filipino chef has trained to become a sushi chef in Japan, and Sabi Omakase Stavanger was the first sushi restaurant to receive a Michelin star in Norway. The menu is created with whatever produce Chef Roger gets his hands on each day.
A wine bar and bistro in the heart of Oslo, beautifully decorated with shelves full of vinyl and wine in a retro style at St. Olavs plass. Head Chef Anders Erlandsson used to work at Geranium and Alchemist in Copenhagen, and along with his excellent team serves both a set menu and à la carte with Asian flavours, combined with music from the expensive sound system.
Oslo is known for a range of high-quality Indian restaurants and Mantra is no exception. You can expect more than the classic dishes, more of a modern twist featuring the wonderful Indian flavours and spices. The first thing you see when entering are two big tandoori ovens where the chefs prepare their dishes over hot coals. The restaurant offers a 5 course menu and à la carte.
This is the only place for Korean BBQ in Oslo. J2 started as a fine dining restaurant but has changed the concept to modern Korean BBQ. Expect Wagyu of the best quality and Norwegian langoustines on the menu. The philosophy is DIY. You prepare your own food, but the friendly staff will guide you to a perfect result.
