I've had Aria YEARS ago and loved it, do I was super excited to try it again. It was unfortunately not as good as I had remembered it to be. Not sure if it's a change in quality or if we had it sitting too long, but I really hope that it's the latter because I held this place in pretty high standards. I would love to try this place again and eat it sooner to have it fresher.
Combo menu (KFC, GFC, bulgogi kimbap):
- KFC/GFC - 3.5/5, they provided lots of sauce options and we chose at least one of each. I think my favorite was the garlic and soy sauce, and the white sauce was interesting but acceptable. The kfc is nicely fried, and the gfc is nicely coated. Flavor is good. Chicken had a bite to it, but could be because it was sitting.
- bulgogi kimbap - 3/5, packed with bulgogi, a little lacking with the other ingredients in my opinion. The amount of meat made the kimbap feel really dry, and it was a little difficult to eat due to it being pretty massive.
Bulgogi fries - 2.5/5, thick cut fries topped with tons of bulgogi, but drowning in liquid. The fries had a good thickness to them. The bulgogi was sweet and salty, although a bit too sweet; probably caramelized. The sauce was flavorful. I think the sweetness of the bulgogi and flavor of the sauce was too overwhelming. It was like having potato and bulgogi soup.
