Aroma Restaurant & Sushi Bar

Aroma Restaurant & Sushi Bar menu outside the restaurant convinced us to go inside.
Not Sushi eaters but the Teriyaki Chicken caught our eye. Welp I hit my 600K now Can ya'll the original number goal I had in my head ???? Hint I didn't hit it yet.... @kendrickclone70 and I spent the day on some going to see our doctors to make sure our health is on point.
And coming out one of our appointments we notice this restaurant across the street @aromarestaurantt which is listed Aroma Restaurant and Sushi Bar as we are reading the menu in the window.
And the Teriyaki Chicken caught our eyes.
So we pulled up. As we are seated by a latin waitress with a nice size BBL I look around the restaurant and all the waitresses are latin with BBL's BBL's.
Now I am wondering is BBL's mandatory for them to get a job there.
We ordered both our Teriyaki Chicken and when they came out plated so nice.
And the food was delicious.
And what actually brings this restaurant over the top for me was not the BBL's and the abundance of latin woman. The top for me was the simple glass of water.
The water was a ice cold and even though it was in a cocktail glass our waitresses yes waitresses kept my glass refilled over and over and over.
I added the lime and by the time I was finished eating my slow self lunch my mucous (pause) was no longer bothering me in my chest. Health is wealth #2024

After landing on my radar, finally got a chance to try Aroma Restaurant and Sushi Bar What got my attention is they advertise an appealing Happy Hour.
Aroma is located in an area of Marble Hill where there's lots of public trans, buses(1,2&9) and trains(1 train and Metro North) It's close to many popular shopping spots like Target, Aldi , and right across the street from a Starbucks so there will be no trouble finding it.
Unfortunately my dining partner and I missed the Happy Hour special on the night we visited because we ( like most NYers) get off later. Here is my honest opinion of our experience, and again it is only an OPINION no offense is meant or should be taken.
Use this review as an opportunity to IMPROVE.
Everyone as a bad night, doesn't mean it's a bad place and things can change depending on the day so what we experienced can be completely different for other guests.
Here goes: At first, Ambiance was enjoyable.
When we first arrived the place was pretty empty with only a few patrons.
We were able to walk right up to a table with no waiting.
Initially, our server was attentive , gave us our menus and asked us for our drink orders right away. I went with a passion fruit mojito and my partner ordered a tequila sunrise.
Both were pleasant, not too strong, and tasty.
For appetizer we decided on the Trio de Tostones with Ropa Vieja(3 muffin tin sized fried plantain cups filled with a tasty beef stew) It did not disappoint and was yummy.
(Sorry can't say the same for the entree) Food and drinks arrived in a timely fashion. Cons: First thing our server told us was there is no sushi .
For that to be advertised in the title of business, this was of course a disappointment. For entree, I ordered the Chofan with chicken which for my preference, didn't taste good or fresh.
It was made in a style that I did not enjoy, I've been to many restaurants where I ordered this and enjoyed, but this didn't hit. My partner ordered the teriyaki chicken.
It was ok, nothing special.
(Could have got it much cheaper and much better at a local Chinese restaurant) It did not meet their expectations presentation wise.
Normally an order of chicken teriyaki consist of thick slices or meaty chunks of chicken tossed in a generous amount of sauce served over a bed of rice.
What they got was a piece of chicken breast pounded flat, drizzled with teriyaki sauce in a decorative criss-cross pattern, which while didn't taste bad was not a winner. Also our little corner got crowded quickly when our servers sat a large party right next to us! This was unnecessary as there was a lot of other tables to maintain a reasonable distance.
We were bumped into, as more people continue to slide in to join the group throughout the night.
We felt boxed as they sat children in high chairs right next to us.
If we wanted to feel like we were at Applebee's we could have just went there! It was quite distracting and ruined the vibe as we tried to decompress from our long week. As the evening progressed, the service declined significantly.
Long after we finished our meal , no one bothered to offer us another glass of water, drink or the check .
We just sat there with our empty cocktail glasses and an cleared table for about a half hour. Overall Aroma Restaurant and Sushi Bar was pretty much a let down , so we will not be returning again.
We arrived for the happy hour but departed very unhappy:( tl;dr -Drinks and appetizer was fine, but main entrees didn't work.
Service was uneven .
We ended up getting flat out ignored by servers.
Aroma Restaurant and Sushi was not worth the hefty price tag.
IMO if you wanna go definitely try to make the Happy Hour and stick with the apps and cocktails which were the best part of the meal and are advertised at a fair price point.

Omg the food and service is amazing and the drink is something sweet but if not bad ,I loved 😍
