If you’re asking me where to find the best service in Oslo, I have one answer: J2 Restaurant BBQ. The team here goes above and beyond—and I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re recommended by the Michelin Guide in the near future.

Why J2 Stands Out

I’ve now been to J2 three times, which says a lot. I rarely return unless a place truly impresses me—and this one does, every time. The Korean BBQ experience here isn’t your usual casual grill-at-the-table setup. It’s polished, elevated, and delivered with care.

The team walks you through each dish with clear instructions, making it especially great for anyone new to Korean BBQ. From start to finish, the experience feels refined but welcoming.

💡 Pro tip: Go hungry. And if you’ve never had A5 Wagyu before, this is your chance to try it.

A Cut Above

With set menus starting at 1350 NOK, including premium options like Wagyu A5, the value is impressive. The quality of the meat is excellent, and the attention to detail in every part of the meal stands out.

I’ve stayed in Koreatown in Los Angeles and eaten at several famous Korean BBQ places—including Park’s BBQ—and J2 still holds the edge when it comes to presentation and service.

Final Thoughts

• Service is consistently excellent
• Quality of ingredients is top-tier
• The whole experience is both impressive and enjoyable

It’s great to know a place like J2 exists in Oslo—ambitious, professional, and still down-to-earth in how they treat their guests.
