What people say, in short
Many diners recommend Kin Nori Bar, and many describe the food as very good, with a few praising the fish quality and freshness. One praises its small temaki menu, one calls the omakase better than a competitor's, and one calls it an overlooked gem.

A few note a small or limited menu, one of them doubting the hype, one finds the food only okay, and one says visits feel brief.
