House of Sushi - Sweet people, nice happy food



Whale nigiri?
You can get it here!

The miso soup was super nice and served in a big bowl.
Good portions of sushi/ sashimi platters with lots of variety.
The chef gave us an additional maki roll on the house. (My son thought this was the best!). The green tea just as it supposed to be and plenty of it.

Everything super super fresh.

The restaurant is located in a new area of town, with lots of offices around.
Inside the place was stylish and cosy enough. The waitress (Philipino married to a Norwegian) was super nice (and craving for warmer whether..)

We paid about 750 NOK (90 Euro) for 3 people which is very cheap for Oslo. Good deal was the sashimi in ponzu sauce; about 20 slices for only 150 NOK.

We stayed near the central train station and had to take a taxi to get there.... 8 min ride about 220 NOK! ouch...

Rorbua - Ever tried smoked whale....?


Arriving late at Oslo, we wandered to the Aker Brygge and decided to trust my Routard guide book.

Rorbua is just off the main 'boulevard' and had a cosy feel to it. Big wooden tables, old black and white photos on the wall all in the fisherman's theme. Lots of locals come dine here too it seems.

This is not a sushi place, but I think many sushi or fish lovers will like this place.

We had 'Whale on a plate' as appetizer (these are not the big blue whales but the smaller ones they catch in the fjords...). See photo, some flat bread, put a slice of whale meat on there, some onions and salad and finish of with some sour cream.
It tastes a bit like smoked ham! Very nice with a cold beer.

I ordered oven baked stock fish for my main dish which was absolutely delicious.

Very reasonable prices, nice terrace outside for the summer time.
