Aroma

You know I had high hopes for this place. First off it's in Kenwood mall - prime location. Second there was a bit of hype at it's opening. This however has died down and what's left is a nice, weird vibe and bad sushi.

The vibe tries to be hip, stainless steel accents, sushi bar in the middle of the room. But there are flat screen TV's everywhere. Is it a sports bar or a sushi restaurant? Who knows.

I ordered 2 rolls that were pretty unremarkable. When I say "bad sushi" let me qualify. No, it did not make me ill, no it did not smell. It was just poorly executed and  barely worth the price (half price).

They make 1 roll that is over 2 inches wide. My server claimed it was very popular. I can't see how since I could barely fit it inside my mouth. When I was successful I had the accompanying sauce all over my face.

If you want better sushi - go to Beluga or even Soho.
