Karlsrud Mat og Vinhus

The Spis take

Despite the old-fashioned 'mat og vinhus' (food and wine house) name, this is a neighbourhood pan-Asian restaurant in the Karlsrud/Nordstrand area, spanning Thai, Vietnamese and Chinese dishes with vegetarian and vegan options. It's a solid, unpretentious local dinner spot — reviews are generally warm, if not spectacular — the kind of place the neighbourhood keeps coming back to rather than a citywide draw. Reliable for a casual, good-value Asian meal south of the centre.
