Cheap lunches, friendly and attentive staff, Tepanyaki!

Bad Points
50% of the food on offer would be refused by a pig.

General Comments
Aroma Restaurant is a large Buffet style Chinese restaurant. Loud, bright and cheap.



The general quality of the food is pretty low, it has to be said. This is particularly true of any of the main dishes, which often feature some watery sauces and can have you chewing on a lump of grissle for hours.



The crispy aromatic duck is only available in the evenings and not one part if it, not even the cucumber is 'crispy'. It is not of the same standard as any other Chinese restaurant.



There are one or two nice things available though, if you can find them. The starters are adequate, the satay chicken and seaweed are good. The tepanyaki is awesome. If you're going to eat one thing and nothing else then make sure it's this. I particularly like the pork and rice noodles, with plenty of chilli paste!



You pay one price to enter and eat. There are different rates for lunch and evening and days of the week.



Friday and saturday nights are 13/14 quid, which is about a quid cheaper than Regent Cottage in Hitchin (very high quality eat as much as you can) - so there is no point in going here in the slightest them nights.



However, at luchtimes for six or seven quid you can eat Chinese till you explode, and you can't complain about that can you?
