Rin, a Japanese restaurant in Hobart, received mixed reviews from patrons. While some diners were disappointed with the slow service and lack of authenticity in the food, others praised the delicious meals and the accommodating staff. The portions were described as small but flavorful, with fresh ingredients and a variety of dishes to choose from. Overall, while some customers had negative experiences, others found Rin to be a hidden gem in the city for Japanese cuisine.

Really tasty food. Great service. Beautiful presentation. The place needs a bit of a touch up with painting and decoration. But definitely would love to return.
