  Comically small rolls and salads that are pretty low-end. The fish came out creepily luke-warm and subsequently does not taste fresh at all. There aren't many great sushi options in this area. But even chinatown's options are better than Aoi.

  We went for their happy hour and were disappointed to see the frankly unreasonable demand that you buy two drinks before you could actually get any of the happy hour snacks. So we just had normal dinner: ramen and katsucurry. The ramen was meh, the noodles felt like the kind I make from an instant ramen pack. The curry was good and peppery though.

  Wide range of Japanese cuisine options. The pork is a stand out, but no weak dishes so far.

  Good drinks. Food is average. Stopped here on the way home because it was right by the metro. However there are about 3 other places directly across the street serving the same fare so might be something to consider. Feels crowded and unkempt.

  To preface my poor review, I just want to say that I've previously had fairly pleasant experiences here while dining in. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for my experience today. I also never leave reviews for restaurants, but this one was more than warranted! I selected the option that Sushi AOI was offering through a meal-pickup service today, which consisted of 6 California rolls and 6 spicy tuna rolls. The tuna had a gray color and slimy texture, which I know is not normal. Spicy tuna rolls are typically my favorite type of roll, and I order it quite frequently at various restaurants, so I know that the tuna itself is supposed to be a pinkish-red color and not gray. Moreover, tuna doesn’t usually have a ‘fishy’ taste, but this one did, which tells me that the fish was expired. I've attached the picture of the spicy tuna rolls. While the California rolls seemed fine, I was so put off by the bad tuna that I couldn’t finish my lunch and had to go out and buy something else. I'm so displeased by the spicy tuna today that I am very hesitant to dine here again. BEWARE OF THE GRAY TUNA!!!!!
