Koie Ramen Munch Oslo

It's slurp time

About me I grew up on the sunny side of the Alps, in Slovenia, and my interest in wooden architecture took me to Norway during my studies.

""Koie Ramen Munch" makes the tastiest ramen I have discovered in Oslo so far. The portions are big and the steaming broth packed with flavor!"

To be honest, I could never quite grasp the extreme popularity of sushi and burger in Norway. It does not really feel like the right food for a country where the low temperatures, snowstorms and bitter winds are at home - well, most of the year at least.

Koie is so far the tastiest ramen place I discovered in the city. Portions are big and steaming hot broth packed with flavour. You can choose some small starters and side dishes but the menu is short and very straightforward - focused on ramen, of course.

You can find Koie at two locations - one in Torggata (the mother) and the newly opened one in Bjørvika (the daughter), so a hot bowl of soup is never far away. Cold outside but warm in your belly - ah, what can feel better that that?

I work as an architect, but my creative brain always engages with numerous other fun projects on the side: I have a small design brand called Leva, organize pop-up foodie events with friends or develop ideas in Ohøy design collective. My biggest playground, however, is nature, and there is plenty of it in Norway. I love the great outdoors and I try to ded...

View over Oslo

Munch's "The Scream" setting

The "View Over Oslo" from the side towards the plateau of Ekeberg, is much better than where most tourists go to, namely Holmenkollen, and the locals know!
