Hrimnir Ramen

Hrimnir Ramen is an Oslo ramen bar with a Nordic-influenced craft ramen focus. It works when the goal is a focused bowl in a warm, inviting setting. Go for the ramen itself, the open-kitchen energy, the small plates that sit alongside the bowls.

The visual cue tells you a lot before the food lands: jars of preserved lemons, pickled plums, vinegars, house-fermented ingredients line the room, pushing the place away from generic ramen-shop minimalism and toward a warmer Nordic-meets-Japanese feel. If the first visit is just a bowl and out, a better second visit is to slow down slightly and add a small dish such as kimchi, house potato salad, or the shiitake and cauliflower small plate.

Nordic ramen works here because the format stays focused

The restaurant’s appeal is keeping the experience relaxed while making the bowl feel deliberate. The core idea is Nordic-influenced craft ramen, with a cozy, slightly rustic atmosphere and open-kitchen energy. That gives Hrimnir Ramen a clear identity while keeping the ramen at the center of the meal.

Ordering should start with the ramen. Hone Paitan is a signature bowl for diners who want one of the main ramen orders, while the vegetarian ramen bowl is a signature option. Tsukemen organic hen paitan is another signature order and gives the meal a different ramen format. Add kimchi, house potato salad, or the shiitake and cauliflower small plate if the meal needs more texture and contrast, but the bowl should remain the anchor.

The best reason to go is the Nordic-influenced craft ramen, the approachable price point, the room’s warm, fermentation-lined character. For a night built around a different style of dining in Oslo, compare it with other restaurants in the city generically rather than expecting Hrimnir Ramen to be anything other than a ramen-focused stop.

Use the two-location setup to match the night

Hrimnir Ramen has two Oslo locations, which makes it easier to fit into different plans around the city. The hours differ by location: one Oslo location is open Tuesday through Saturday from 1:00 PM to 10:30 PM, Sunday from 1:00 PM to 9:30 PM, closed Monday; the other Oslo location is open Monday through Sunday from 12:00 PM to 10:00 PM, as of July 2026. Check current hours before going, especially around holidays or schedule changes.

Value is strongest when the order stays focused. At about $30 per person, Hrimnir Ramen makes the most sense as a ramen-led meal with supporting dishes if you want more variety. The White Guide Nordic Restaurants Masters Level recognition for 2026 gives useful confidence that the craft is being taken seriously, but the experience still reads as an approachable ramen bar.

For planning around the city, use Hrimnir Ramen as a casual ramen-focused stop within a broader Oslo dining itinerary. If the craving is specifically Nordic-influenced craft ramen, this is the venue to keep at the center of the plan; if the night calls for another format, look to other Oslo dining rooms more generally.
