Beautiful and Intentional
A vision twenty years in the making — finally alive on South Lamar.
Our Approach
Kitsu Nori blends classical French technique with Japanese precision — think sake au poivre, brown butter meunière, naturally pink rice tinted with beet juice. Sauces arrive tableside to preserve the crispness of the nori. There are 30 seats inside. An intimate manicured patio, full bar serving craft cocktails and comfortable seating.
