    When I was first introduced to Aroma, I was struck by the atmosphere. Its a bit dark inside with wear and tear on the booths and menus. But I had been recommended by a friend and the food did not disappoint. The service was a little bit slow, but our waiter was friendly and the food pricing was very reasonable. Definitely the best value sushi in the area. And they don't compromise on the taste. My only complaint was I tried some of my friends fried rolls, which tasted great, but weren't warm. And it did take a bit to get our food. Overall would recommend for any sushi lovers that dont want to break the bank.

    My waitress was super nice, the service was fast, the restaurant was nice and quiet at 3pm on a Friday. Order miso soup and a glass of wine for their happy hour 3pm-6pm. Ordered the Godzilla roll but unfortunately there was a small black hair in the ginger on the side so I asked for check and didn't eat the roll. Hygiene is super important to me so I won't be coming back.

    Service was very friendly and helpful. I got the miso soup and fried green beans and we got a bunch of rolls and a teriyaki platter with shrimp (yum!). We ate the green beans so quickly and I didn't have a chance to take a photo. We loved them. All the rolls were good and made fresh - of course our eyes were bigger than our stomachs so we took home the left overs. We also got the saki strawberry to drink - we'd highly recommend. Great flavor! We'll be back! And yes, a game was on the t.v.

    L - R: Yellowtail scallion, Volcano, Spider, Playgirl. Got the eel sauce as a side sauce for the first time. Game changer!

    A go to on the rotation. They are consistently good but do get crowded but have always had good service. They even offer discounted sushi for carryout. I'd hit it...again.

    One of my wife's favorite sushi spots. They have some great sushi and a lot of half price rolls for dine in. I've had several of their rolls, and am also a fan of the pad thai and their sweet chili chicken. Today I had the special, which was a Korean spicy pork bulgogi and was excellent. My wife loved her Phoenix roll and lychee martini!

    All this and 20% tip for $15

    I didn't realize it was still half price off the printed menu and assumed the prices on the sushi menu were already discounted. It was a steal of a lunch! Three rolls with 20% tip $15. It was cheaper than going to Fusasian. The layout has changed a bit since COVID with seating now booth-like vs just tables. I only knocked off a star because walking in the restaurant had an unpleasant scent. If you can get past that, they seat you quickly, the servers are attentive and the food comes out fast. Sushi has good quality fish and they don't pack on the rice as you might expect.

    The service we had was great. Our waitress was very attentive and kind. The ambiance is pretty dark and simple. We got several sushi rolls and veggie pad Thai. They have half priced sushi every day, which is awesome. It's not the best sushi or pad Thai I've had in town, but it's decent.

    Aroma Sushi has the best Sunday Morning roll in all of Cincinnati. That being said, I have very mixed feelings on this place. The interior is... fine. The seats are a little scuffed up and the music is solid. It's just not the place I'm looking for when I think of getting sushi. That being said, the prices are amazing. It's great for any 20 something or family of 5 looking for a cheap, delicious sushi spot. Just not for me.

    Great food, portions, and service! Everything we had was hot, fresh, and delicious. This definitely makes our sushi rotation for trying again. The ambiance was also very cool and location was great for shopping. They had a very cool 3D picture/sign of the roebling bridge which was awesome. Perfect stop to refuel when in the area for your shopping needs. I'd love to tell you something specific to get but everything we had was great! Try it all!

    We were quick to be seated, love the prices of the sushi 50% off. fast service. We sat outside and it was clean. Would love to go again

    It's located outside Kenwood town centre which means it can be quite busy especially near holiday season when people are out shopping. They have an extensive list of special rolls to try and it's HALF PRICED- even the sashimi and nigiri too. My recommendation is the Cincinnati roll as there's mango inside(which is not often seen in many sushi restaurants). As an unagi(eel) lover, I'm sad that they do not have much eel special rolls. The only two is the double dragon and dragon roll. Thus, I have to get some unagi nigiri which is quite expensive. It's a busy night as usual but I did not have to wait long for the sushi. It's even longer to get a table so it's better to make reservation before you do the shopping.

They are reservation only and it can be a challenge to get a reservation, so make sure you check their Instagram to figure out when they become available. We came here for a dinner reservation. For the vibes, they have 8 seats and sell out basically every single reservation. There were 2 people making the sushi and they were both super friendly and made great conversation. Each bite was carefully crafted and came with a thorough explanation of the individual parts and how they fit together. I don't think my words will do enough to explain each bite, but check out the pictures if you are interested. They have a few beers, cocktails, sake, and whiskey if you are interested in a drink to go with your meal. Overall, worth a visit for an excellent omakase experience!

The servers had already given the other customers a warm towel to clean their hands. We only knew this because the hand towels were still on the table next to the customers. We didn't receive the towels and instead used our own hand sanitizer after they mentioned we'd be eating with our hands. The hand towels remained on the table and were never taken away. The green tea was perfect on a cold snowy day. The fatty tuna was excellent in both the nigiri and hand roll. Presentation was 10/10 and flavor was there for each piece. However, when the food was given out the chef presented the food like he was reading off a menu. There was no additional information on what went into it and what he was doing. The food was delicious and fresh! The overall experience was sub par. I would think if we're paying this much that it would be more of an experience. Especially in Cincinnati when people crave culture and are going there for a cultural experience, I would expect for knowledge given and information. Rather than having to ask for information

    I love when I find a review I started ages ago. Reading my "cliff notes" so I can remember what to…read moreput in the review is absolutely a delight. This one did crack me up a bit. So, for the hellzbellz of it, I thought I'd just put in my exact notes. Here it goes: "Max is a delight. Shrimp Shumai is wonderful. Chicken Fried Rice is done properly without being over seasoned or too salty. Spicy Tuna will run you out of town!" HA! What fun notes I left for myself. I do recall their drinks being very nice and strong. Totally worth ordering a fun adult beverage. Max was an absolute delight... just a nice human being. I remember we'd had a really rough day and Max read the vibe. Without being overwhelming, Max just made dinner a wonderful experience. Thanks, Max. You're good people. The entire food scene was great that night. We enjoyed everything we ordered. Even though this was a while back, I remember we took leftovers home (which I NEVER eat)... that night, I ate them! Price was on-point, ambiance is great... sit away from the door if you are a wuss like me and hate the cold "door blast". I remember being impressed by the amount of take-out and doordash that was lined along the counter. Kanji OTR is solid. We'll look forward to visiting again!

Kanji OTR at Findlay Markey was perfect! Knowledgeable server (she's tried everything), quiet ambience and good food added up.
