Description: Alex Sushi in Solli Plass square in Oslo is one of the city's finer sushi restaurants. The interior is modern and stylish with an open kitchen area where guests sit around an oval table, watching the mastery of the sushi chefs at work. The menu includes a fascinating number of ingredients, with some exotic highlights for the more adventurous. The service is relaxed, knowledgeable and friendly. An excellent wine list complements the food, with vintage varieties mainly from France and Italy.

I've had real sushi in Japan. This is not it. Too expensive, the selection is poor and it just did not taste the way I had hoped. Especially the price makes this uninteresting for me again.

You will have great sushi at Alex, make no mistake. But their price level is far beyond what they actually serve - here you pay extra for a renowned name and a celebrity at the next table.

I have eaten quite a lot of sushi on my journeys, and Alex is the best of the best. It's quite expensive, but if you buy the "red menu", you'll get enough food and the quality is beyond good. I belive it costs 599,- NOK. Put in some drinks and you're under 1000,- NOK per person. That's fair. remember to... More

You cannot go to Oslo and not try Alex Sushi. I had heard that it serves the "Best Sushi outside Japan", so it was something I had to try. The food is simply exquisite. Everything is fresh and my advice is that you go for the Black set menu as it has items you won't really taste elsewhere. The ambience... More

I am a regular user of Alex at Solli Plass, and wanted to visit their new premises at Tjuvholmen with one of my employees. When I called to reserve a table, a nice lady answered the phone and I got confirmed seat at the sushi bar at 19:30. We met 10 minutes early and got a professional welcome and a... More

Alex Sushi has been a star on the Oslo restaurant scene for almost a decade. They haven´t really reinvented themselves they have kept on serving some of the best sushi & sashimi you could get in the Norwegian capital. The new branch at Tjuvholmen got good reviews with a promise of sushi/sashimi/Asian food with a twist. We chose the top... More

I have been travelling to Oslo many hundred times over the last 10-15 years. But I have never found a better sushi restaurant. Excellent atmosphere seated in the "sushi bar" where the sushi is created. Top motivated staff made the visit gel together with wonderful food. I got the tempura. Sizable portion crisp - can easily share this starter. Got... More
