Rema 1000 at Amfi Madla just got a new makeover and it really worked! The store looks cleaner,…read morebigger and more organized. This, together with the fact that I recently discovered what they offer on a more detailed level, makes me think I'll buy food here more often from now on. Big minus: Always big queues at the cash register.. usually I don't see the point of writing reviews on normal grocery stores because people tend to choose the one nearest to home anyways. ...but what if they offer something special? Or something that is hard to find other places. I will probably keep adding to this review but here we go: - - - - - - - - - - - * SUSHI: the last year a bunch of grocery stores started selling sushi packs. I've tried several of these as they are great for a fast meal and are better of price than the similar packs you can buy as takeaway from the restaurants. "Fersk Sushi" is by far my favorite for one simple reason. It's fresh! Made the same day they sell it, as it should be. No more dry rice for this girl. They offer sushi packs in several sizes 6 / 8 / 12 pieces and they even offer gluten free! So happy about this. The pack of 12 cost 119kr. * BEER: Rema1000 offers a wider range of beers than my local store does and that's a big plus. Sometimes you want something else than Tuborg... They have a lot of different beers from Lervig and Grans as well as Ringnes, Carlsberg, Corona and so on.

In a country where everything is expensive, I was happy to find this little convenience store in…read moreStavenger. Did not feel like spending a lot for dinner so Narvesen to the rescue. Bought a couple of Bacon wrapped hot dogs, ice cream bar, Softis ice cream, and a drink for the wife and I. It was no gourmet meal, but it made for a fine budget value deal. You get what you pay for, and we were pleased with what we got. Aside from the usual convenience store staples, they had some Norwegian souvenirs. Service was friendly and excellent. Shop was clean. Location is next to the ferry. I'm a fan!

My favorite Asian supermarket!…read more They offer a lot of Asian imported goods, a small lunch-style takeaway counter, and they also have a more expansive menu that you can order take-away food from. The staff are always super pleasant and offer help whenever you need it. If you are looking for something specific, you can always ask and they will help you find it, and in some cases if they don't have a product, they say they are ordering it and that it will be in later. The grocery items they offer lean more towards Eastern Asia. They have lots of different kinds of Asian snacks and canned goods, dried noodles, and sauces. A large selection of frozen goods, two refrigerator units with vegetables and different Asian ingredients (they have kimchi!), tofu and herbs. And a bunch of sodas and bottled teas.

Good place to buy a quick snack. There are plenty of snacks to choose from, and priced lower than restaurants. If you are on a budget, then you will find affordable deals here. Croissants, pizza, cookies, and donuts are all tasty. There is a tall counter space with bar stools to sit, and enjoy your snack. Service was ok. Shop was clean. 4 stars!
