It was so joyful to find a yum cha restaurant in Oslo that all thoughts of reviewing floated into the sky. The interior is very a muted brown, as is the atmosphere. Focus on the dim sum! Standouts: The 鼠 Rat remembers very all dim sum as delicious Not so good: Nothing 鼠 Rat can remember Service: Attentive but on slow side

We were misled by the waitress about the proportions of the dishes and were encouraged to order more food than necessary. We had way more food than four people could possibly eat and so our dinner cost was unnecessarily expensive. Suggestion: order only one entree for two or three people with perhaps one dim sum dish as a side.

The scallops and shrimp dumplings were fantastic, and even from the congee you can sense the light touch from the chef. This is the place if you are looking for refined taste with slightly pricier allowance, since each 62-NOK plate are ever so slightly on the smaller side. We shared six plates for two people and end up at about 60% full. A little upscale - you eat dim sum here with good manners, not a place to be loudly gorging on food like your usual hole-in-the-wall dim sum. One drawback is the restaurant is small and the staff is occupied at full service. We had to cancel our second order since they politely noted it would have taken 30 minutes (you're telling us you don't just microwave frozen pre-made dumplings?), so we left at 60% full. Lesson for next time. Still, I care less about service and rate overwhelmingly on the quality of the food.

Plus they have heat lamps if it gets chilly which you can ask for them to put up. We had some sushi and wine there. The sushi was ok. But I thought it was a bit overpriced. 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.

The appetizers were delicious as the dumplings were so juicy and tasty. I had gotten a Chinese meal (they offer various asian cuisines) that was strips of fried beef with onions, peppers, and carrots. It was really tasty, and had a unique flavor I had never had before. I wish there was a bit more sauce in this meal, and that the beer selection could have been a tiny bit better. Otherwise I had a great time!

This place is located just down the road from Hotel Continental. It's right on the main road across…read morefrom the park, adjacent to the parliament building. We arrived at 5:30pm, without a reservation, and they were able to accommodate us, though mentioned they'd prefer we finish up within 90 minutes. The tables around us definitely turned at least once during our time there, so they're quite proficient with their service, handily ferrying people through their dinner and our the door, expeditiously. As for dinner, we started out with the prawn chips, which were as good as they ever are (and later, we learned are all pre-fried and stored in a large bin and simply portioned out with each individual order). My friend and I both then had our own bowl of hot and sour soup (one bowl could be shared by two people, if neither of you are particularly hungry). If you love spice, you'll love this soup. Good flavors, most definitely spicy (said as someone who loves spicy food). We then both had stir fried veggies (carrots, mushrooms, snapped peas, and baby corn) with chicken and prawns, in a brown sauce, which we both liked OK (liked, not loved). Overall, we thought it was all OK, and service itself was attentive and good, but we weren't wowed as much as we hoped we'd be. We'd likely explore another option rather than coming back, though truth be told, this place isn't necessarily bad. Just...OK.

I feel a bit bad giving only two stars to this place because the service was quite good and the…read morefood I had was not too bad. So I will explain myself for the two stars. First of all this place is centrally located near national theatre. Lots of foreigners eat here so it seems like a touristic place. And it feels like that as well. It's super tacky with its pools, huge statues, chandeliers with crystals and crystal curtains. Horrible decoration or at least does not fit my stylish needs. The plus side is that it's a big place so you can fit large groups of people at once. The service was quite fast. There is lots of people working and running around. Not the most relaxing atmosphere though. I had the crispy duck with my friends and this was quite good. The duck was very dry but still the taste was good. The house wine was quite bad. Wouldn't recommend it. Some of the people of my group had the all you can eat buffet and they were quite disappointed. This type of places do not reach my expectations of a place I would go back to. It seems more like a place where someone who doesn't know where to eat goes.

It was a tough decision! There were too many interesting options. The Red Sheng turned out to be a solid choice. My friend ordered the Lychee-Chee but they brought her the Chili-ling. We didn't realize it until the end of the meal. We mentioned it and they brought her the right drink at the end. She knew something was wrong when the drink was spicy and that's not something she would have ordered. For the food, the dumplings came out first. There were two of each type: green, red, orange and black. They explained each one and we had to make choices among us about who wanted to eat what. We also got the scallops, which I think are hard to mess up. They were delicious. The Hakka Noodles were a highlight. The fried rice was underwhelming. The night we were there, they had a live DJ right next to our table which we found pleasant. The music wasn't too loud and set the mood. For a large group, the wait staff was very patient and helpful.
