The friendly and efficient staff took great care of me. I really enjoyed the savory flavors and rich broth of the Tonkotsu Ramen. The Japanese AOONI IPA was a great version on the American style IPA. Young hip date night vibe in trendy area on Oslo. read more

Really enjoyed this place in Oslo. I was really surprised at the quality! Service is great at this cute little space downtown Oslo. My friends and I got a variety of different ramen and an order of gyoza. All were so good! I also got a yuzu margarita- which was refreshing! If you're craving ramen while in Oslo- definitely hit up this spot. Beware of peak times as it can be a little bit of a wait! read more

We were initially going to go to Oslo street food which is close but that was packed so came here instead and I am very happy that we did because the food was great. Ordered the Tantanmen which was very flavorful. A little spicy but not overwhelming. I also tried some of the tonkatsu, which was also good, although a little too salty. Chicken karaage was also decent with a generous serving for the price It's busy but we were lucky to get a seat without a wait. read more

After 9 days in Norway our group was craving for spicy food and soup, so we came to this place right after we pulled into Oslo. Even for 4:30pm, this place was already super packed so it's definitely one of the local's favorites. We ordered a dish of Karaage to share, and I ordered the Tantanmen and my friend ordered a bowl oftonkatsu ramen. My Tantanmen really hit the spot for my spicy broth craving. However, aside from the richness of the broth itself, it was a bit too buttery to my preference. Otherwise the noodle and egg were both cooked to a nice consistency. The establishment itself isn't spacious and a line soon emerged outside the store after we got seated. The service efficient and courteous despite the small setting, so overall it was a cozy vibe. read more

I didn't expect to discover the best ramen on a trip to Norway. This is a hole in wall, but expect to wait! The servers are so busy, sometimes the line becomes disorganized. Buttttt, it's worth the wait, this is probably the best karage I ever had. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and not overly crunchy with just the right amount of dough. It was so good, we came two times in the three days we were in Oslo. read more

This was a very nice meal on a chilly day. Eggs and toppings were perfect. Broth was great consistency and nice but not the best I've had. I'd come back if in the area but wouldn't go out of my way. Glad to have had this option of food in Oslo. read more

The food was outstanding. Service impeccable and the ambiance perfect from what we know in New York. We have had a lot of ramen noodles and this was hands down the best I have ever tasted. Thank you and you have given me a reason to come back and visit Oslo!!! read more

Seriously good ramen! We ended up here after a long day exploring Oslo and were excited to have some Ramen to warm up. The place has a lot of seating and they use it well. The staff are super friendly and knowledgeable about the various kinds of Ramen to help you decide if needed. I got the Tantanmen and my wife got the Mazemen. Both have a little spiciness but very good. The cool thing about the Mazemen is that it doesn't have a broth and just uses one egg yolk to make it a little creamy which is a completely different experience and makes all the flavors pop! The tantanmen was very good as well and I enjoyed the flavor and heat from the chilis. Definitely try this place out if you are looking for an inexpensive and good meal. read more

Wow wow WOW. Never thought that one of the best ramens I would have would be in Oslo, and I've had more than my fair share of ramen across the globe. Koie is an unsuspecting ramen restaurant that delivers in all regards. The broth is beautifully savory and rich, and the meat is cooked to perfection. Even all the veggies add a perfect level of detail that I have not found in other ramen shops. Absolutely loved dining here, and definitely get the karaage - delicious! read more

Koie Ramen TRONDHEIM Really bad service tactic, likly a management decision! Leaving people stading outside to wait even thou half the restaurant is empty, to make it seem busy. And then by entering giving you bad seating, still with the restaurant half empty. Making you wait outside again if you want to choose were to sitt. We left, since we offcourse had no reason to stay! read more

The place is nice and clean . Chef Matt's cooking is delicious. Waitress Ruth is fast and efficient. It can be very busy sometimes . She handles all customer with charm and welcoming smile. read more

DRINKS: Nice beer on tap. Chilled nicely. SERVICE: Nice wait staff DECOR/ATMOSPHERE: Minimalist Japanese style FOOD/PRICE: Ramen broth was not piping hot. It was lukewarm. Japanese in me says that is just a no no. Karaage (fried chicken) was very soggy. I saw many people ordering it and coming out all at the same time. They must have put too many pieces in the oil all at once. They use interesting spices to it. Nice job on the creativity. read more

Growing up with noodles and japanese culture I've always had a facination of japanese cuisine. The food is very good! Great flavors and different consistencies! Though I highly recommend tonkakatsu (pork broth) with extra noddles, egg and pork. Maybe a sidedish of karaage chicken. Super full. Polite and cheerful staff who bring water to the table. There is a reason why people are queuing up. Worth a try! PS my wife recommends the matcha cold tea. read more

I'm not a ramen expert by any means, but I travel for work and I seek out the good stuff when/where ever I can including a few trips to Japan. I can say without hesitation that this is among the best ramen I've ever had anywhere. If we were back in LA this place would have a line out the door, fortunately Oslo is still how to eat out. Tip: aim for the specials and you can't miss. read more

We ate shouyu ra-men, miso ra-men, and karaage (fried chicken). Cha-syu (pork) in syouu ra-men wasn't tasty at all. I took just two bites and didn't want to eat more. Nitamago (boiled egg) was very tasty. Karaage wasn't fried enough, well it''s edible without being sick. I didn't dare to eat so much. A few personals tasted them before they served karaage to us. Personalen var jättetrevlig!! read more

Ramen noodles and broth were great. I ordered the tonkotsu but the corn topping was difficult to chew and the chashu was a little dry. However the atmosphere was great and still had a nice experience overall. read more

Bad service. The food was ok but the service was a little poor. Ate there once before, was problem with seating as well. On our last visit, we were referred to a tight corner for two. It was then a four-man table that was vacant and another tight corner spot. We asked if we could sit at the far end of the table so we could actually eat without bumping into each other, but we were told that it would save them to a larger group, fair enough. Shortly afterwards another couple comes and asks for the same thing and gets the four man table spot instead of the last vacant corner spot Then we got up and left, doubting that I will return read more

We were referred to this place by a waiter at Izakaya and it did not disappoint. Both me and my boyfriend ordered the Shio ramen along with Suiyoubi No Neko (Yoho Brewing Co.) a.k.a Wednesday Cat, which is a Belgian White beer from Japan that we fell in love with on our last trip to Tokyo. The service was nice and the ramen looked great when it was served. The egg was cooked just right and while the broth wasn't very thick, we didn't expect that with the Shio. I added some red pepper bc I love the spice/heat. The bamboo did seem a little undercooked, but the noodles were good. While it's probably not the best ramen I've ever had (Detroit, Michigan has some really great spots + Japan, of course) it was exactly what I was looking for and I'm happy to recommend this place based on the ramen and great beer selection. read more

I really wanted to like this place because the servers were so nice and the drinks were good but the ramen just did not have much flavor. I ordered the tonkotsu option and the broth was far too greasy and did not have nearly enough meat or noodles. It was almost lukewarm by the time it was on the table which kind of threw me off as well. The price is also very high for the quality, but then again so are typical Oslo prices for someone coming from the euro. read more

It's located in a pretty shabby neighborhood and I have to say I started to doubt if it was the right place when I was struggling with finding the restaurant in a miserable raining day. But once I entered the door, it was comforting to be welcomed by the minimalist interior and the humble waitress. The ramen soup was so tasty and nutritional that one can tell they must have spent hours to make it. Last but not least, price level is also reasonable. But I don't think I will visit them again because of its location. read more

Since I've been eating instant ramen countless times throughout my entire life, I thought why not try to have a proper ramen, especially when I got a fever. Ordered a miso ramen with edamame on the side, and the wait was worth the meal. Consider to get here early on weekends because it can get pretty crowded. Great staff services, had a waiter asking about the ramen after slurping it down. Will definitely come back for another ramen adventure. read more

I've hade the tonkotsu and the shio, they were good. The tonkotsu was probably my favorite, but it was reaaallyy rich so if you're hungry I would go for this one. The ambience in the restaurant was kind of annoying though, I tried to talk to my friend but we couldn't hear each other at all, so I'd recommend going when it's not so busy. The kaarage is really good as well and the gyoza is okay. read more

Good food! Quick serving and friendly staff! The staff was good, served cold. It was my first ramen bowl so I have nothing to compare it with, but the portion was good. The broth was flavorful. read more
