My first visit to Aroma Korea was pretty good. I picked this restaurant after seeing reviews on Yelp. We were immediately greeted and led to a booth. It was nice that there was no wait on Friday evening. The menu here is full, and I mean full, of options. It took us at least 10 minutes to figure out what we wanted to order. We ordered Korean rice with shrimp and the surf & turf sushi. The Korean rice was ok. The Seasame oil was a bit overpowering for me. Adding soy sauce definitely cut the taste of the Seasame oil. Now, the surf & turf sushi is where it's at. We immediately wished we ordered two orders of the sushi. The sushi roll includes tempura shrimp, crab salad, and seared beef with a teriyaki sauce. The combination of flavors is sooooo good. I'm definitely going back to get the surf & turf roll again. The sushi is worth a visit to this place.

This is not Korean food. I knew it wasn’t going to be traditional when there wasn’t a single Korean person working there. The waiters were pretty nice but what Korean restaurant has honey mustard sauce on a chicken cutlet with French fries on the side!

I would definitely come again. Two of my favorites are fried salmon collar and fried chicken. These are a must try food.

As a Korean American, I can say the food is definitely Korean. Food is good. But, if you know anything about Korean food, it comes with side dishes called banchan. For some reason this place gives none! Not even kimchi. It is disappointing people are experiencing Korean cuisine without the most essential part of a meal. My grandmother will turn over on her grave.

The food is good but it's just so pricey! But I understand they need to make a living, 3 stars because of price is not the worth of the food portions.

One of my favorite places. Be sure to try the Bulgogi Fries.

We've visited multiple times and always have a great time! Their bulgogi fries and KFC wings are absolutely amazing! Their seafood pancakes are a must as well. This is our favorite Korean spot in the area. Recently we tried their sushi and were just as pleased. We will continue to visit often.

My son and I were visiting from Virginia and had a craving for Dakgalbi. After searching for a bit, I found this cute place! It was so adorable and when I say everything was delicious I mean EVERYTHING! We have named this our spot for the next time we come back to NC!

We found this hidden away place via Yelp, friendly waitress, not smiling hostess, food is good, price is steep, but we enjoyed it.
