Honestly, I’m not a massive fan of Asian cuisine so my review might be biased. My group of friends are big fans and we went to the aroma as it’s not far from where we like to go. It’s not that clean, and the tables are very basic. The staff are very attentive, polite and helpful. The food is good and bad, some items were tasty and others were bland. The desserts are a big plus, there is a ‘whippy’ style ice cream machine and many cakes. Overall, not bad, but not amazing.

Although I didn’t dine at Aroma Restaurant in Basildon, I feel compelled to give them 5 stars for their exceptional staff. During my mother-in-law’s final days at Basildon Hospital, she had a craving for egg drop corn soup. We searched and found Aroma Restaurant, but since it was a buffet, they didn’t offer takeout and had no containers for it. However, one of the staff members went above and beyond—emptying their own lunch container, washing it, and filling it with soup for us. To our surprise, they didn’t charge us a penny, as they didn’t have a price for a single serving of soup to go. They could have easily dismissed us from the start, but their kindness and generosity made all the difference during a difficult time.

Not convinced the food holding temperature is high enough. Had to substitute my selection as the staff couldn't keep up with refilling. Partner opted for the grill for second round of food due to the concerns around the food temperature. No refill soft drinks which is rare in restaurants today. Staff are polite and friendly and overall atmosphere is ok but it's just not what it used to be.

Great value. Really nice food and it was very clean. I would for sure recommend read more Great value. Really nice food and it was very clean. I would for sure recommend
