Gate-area Asian option in OSL’s T terminal
Rice Bowl sits airside in Oslo Airport’s T terminal, one of the few quick Asian-style spots once you clear security. Menus at OSL in this category usually hover around NOK 180–260 for a main, and you should expect Rice Bowl to land in that bracket rather than budget takeaway pricing. Figure on fast-casual speed: order at the counter, food in under 10–15 minutes, then head to your gate.
The name tells you the core format: rice plus protein, likely in wok or curry variations similar to other Oslo Airport outlets that run chicken, beef, and vegetarian bowls. Drinks at OSL tend to start around NOK 40–50 for soft drinks and well above NOK 100 for beer, so plan your spend before you step up to the till. Portions at comparable spots in T are usually enough for one hungry adult without leftovers.
OSL security can easily eat 20–30 minutes in peak Schengen waves, so Rice Bowl works best for a 60–90 minute buffer between flights, not a tight 25‑minute dash. If your gate is in the lower 30s or 40s, allow a 5–10 minute walk back from the restaurant area, especially in winter when coats and bags slow you down. Seating in this part of the terminal often fills up at morning and late‑afternoon banks tied to SAS and Norwegian departures.
Without solid crowd reviews yet, treat Rice Bowl as a simple “rice and sauce” fix rather than a destination meal. Scan for a daily special board; many OSL outlets run a rotating dish a bit cheaper than the standard mains, sometimes under NOK 200. Card payments dominate in Norway, and most airport spots, Rice Bowl included, accept contactless, so you don’t need cash at all.
Tip: check your gate on the big screens right at Rice Bowl before ordering; OSL occasionally shuffles flights within T, and a late gate change can add another 5–10 minutes of walking.
