Should have used that as my cue *not* to eat at Khab Thai, which is horribly overpriced. I know Oslo is an expensive city, but at almost $18, which I would expect at a nice restaurant, but instead got something no better than a microwave meal. The employee was socializing with two women at another booth across the way before bothering to come over to me. I knew something was up when he made me scan my card twice for the meal (and I was charged twice). Clearly, people who eat here are probably half drunk and never been to the parts of Asia that these booths claim to make food from. Hard pass.

So I was really surprised to find Mexican food in the middle of Oslo and I was a little reluctant…read moresince I live 26 miles from the Mexican border in San Diego and I've tasted some fantastic Mexican food in my life. So I ordered the pork taco and was pleasantly surprised with how authentic the taco actually tasted. I found out why, the chef is from Mexico. Guacamole was also very good

Perhaps the long trek from downtown Oslo dragging my family in tow slightly skewed my opinion of…read morethe food - but - we were not overly impressed with the Japanese dishes in particular. Kids got fresh pizza - which they loved and my wife's curry was "meh." The price tag for five people was nearly $200 -- well more than I would have expected for a glorified food court. But, ambience was nice - no air conditioning however - on one of Oslo's hottest days on record. So all in all, a tiring trek for average food at high prices. We will pass on this next time.

We visited the Grunerlokka neighborhood and decided to go to Mathallen Oslo to pick our dinner. It…read morewas located inside a nice building next to a small water fall, river and park. It was easy to get to via the tram from our city centre hotel. There was already a small crowd inside as we navigated around. Italian, multiple burger joints, tapas were some of the busy spots that night. We decided on Helt Vilt with their wide selection of game meats from moose, reindeer, to boar to try some unique red meats. They also had a nice seating area that was available so we got the last table.. We ended up ordering the angry moose and wild boar burgers. The patties were a little over 5oz, juicy and lots of flavors from the meat and toppings. The angry moose burger also came with a nice kick mostly when biting down on the jalapeño slices. Both were filling but wouldn't have minded more meat considering these were each over US $20+. Service was just ok (maybe too busy) and we ended up walking to the front to close our tab.

It doesn't look pretty. It's probably not organic. It's not the best I've had. But - it's filling, it's tasty (at least the pork dish is, which has become my favorite), and above all it gives me a proper lunch in Oslo for 70 kr. And THAT'S something noteworthy! So thank you dear Vietnamese food stand, for feeding hungry urbanistas on a budget.

Illegal Burger has done some good PR. After having it pop up on my radar several times, via…read moredifferent style blogs, I bookmarked it for my next trip to Oslo. When that trip came I found it located a few steps from my hotel (lucky me)! They do an excellent drippy, juicy burger that's packed with flavor and not overcooked. The accompanying potato wedges are nice but may not satiate if you've been craving fries. Aioli lovers will be pleased with their offering. Skip the beer unless it's a label you recognise. Trying to be adventurous, I tried the Herslev Økologisk Hvedeøl and found it uncomfortably bubbly. I dined here with a serious beer drinker and it took him the entire length of the meal to uncomfortably stomach one bottle. But beyond the beer, Illegal Burger's a good bet.

I don't usually have the habit to go for the same on the menu each time, but the chickenburger here…read moreis amazingly good. The chicken is breed the old fashion way- Breath of fresh air, fresh oat, wheat and corn and this combination makes the meat so juicy and tender. The burger itself is boneless (they remove bones), coleslaw, bbq sauce and a good dressing on top of a amazingly good bun. The bun actually makes the whole difference. It's so moist and tasty when you let the burger sit for a minute(if you got the patience to wait), it just suck up all of the good dressing and bbq sauce and that combined with the juicy chicken just makes it even better. I tend to go for the burger whenever I'm down at the local football pub watching a game and I combine this meal with a Brooklyn Lager. Good taste combined. The service is also great. No mocking around. Quick and done. Since they started up their local shoppe at Mathallen, the price has risen from a comfortable 60NOK to 90NOK. I personally think that's a little steep but I can't resist it. It's worth it. They also got a good chicken sandwich, but I've never eaten it. (Never change a winning team) but I've heard it's also very good. It's not only burgers and sandwiches at Stangeriet, they also sell wings, thighs and whole chickens. It's definitely worth a try and a chicken for sunday supper is a winner.
