Aroma House in Southend-on-Sea

This place used to be great, but must have changed ownership as this time was genuinely the worst Chinese food I have ever had in my life. "Singapore Noodles" was just a chicken chow mein with normal noodles and a couple of shrimp, rest was awful too

outstanding food, hot, well packaged and tasty!

First time ordering from here and very impressed, I will definitely order again.

Food has always been really tasty and hot.

Excellent food as always, Thank you.

Food was bland and pretty tasteless

I ordered Thai rice but instead I got noodles also I ordered singapore noodles which then I had 2 lots which made it to salty. pork curry was fine

Normally really good but this time everything was dry and overcooked, I'm hoping that this was a one off.

Best tasting Chinese around. They are the only people who know how to do Kung Po properly and their chicken balls are always fresh. They also throw in freebies!

Once again, lovely food, super quick delivery and very nice delivery person. Thank you.

I ordered beef curry but the pot was only half full plus singapore chow mein aswell

The best Hot and Sour soup 🥣 off all time great food as always glad you are back🫡

Best Chinese I’ve had in Southend, hands down!

I'm still waiting for my order 22 mins after it's says delivered

I ordered Singapore chow mein , it was dark brown / black in colour, I threw it in the bin, I won’t be ordering again from here .

The food is always lovely from here and the lady behind the counter is always polite best Chinese around.

Very nice food as always. Didn’t get the commentary spring rolls this time tho ):

very good portion sizes the sweet and sour chicken was excellent but the Thai rice i felt it needed more flavour and more chillies in singapore noodles other than that I enjoyed my meal.

beautiful food, good value for money, definitely recommend

Really great Chinese, I’d say it’s probably my favourite in the area. Portion sizes are big and the prices are good. Always comes either on time or really early, and the delivery guys are always polite. I got free prawn crackers and a dish of salt and pepper chicken wings with my order too. It was great to try as it’s not something I’d usually go for out of habit but I really enjoyed it so I’d definitely add it to my order next time! Definitely recommend.

First time of ordering from here. Had the crispy lamb, salt chilli chips, spring rolls & crispy chicken in chili sauce. All Very nice, nice size portions as well. They added some free mini veg spring rolls & a little thank you note, which I thought was very nice. Surprisingly a couple of fortune cookies in the bag. 👍🏼

I ordered my meal at 6:30 and it turned up at 8:30. I don't think this is exceptable

Excellent did not get my curry sauce 😢

Food way way too salty. The coatings were crispy but unbearably salty. We had to bin some. Spring rolls appeared to be bought in frozen instead of home made. Ribs were a small portion and had no flavouring, just seemed deep fried. An expensive disappointment.

Excellent service and delicious food

Had good food from here before but this time the food tasted very off and the prawn crackers had grime cooked into the edges?!? Deffo needs a hygiene check. Quality over cooking it as fast as possible for max profits needed here

First of one ordering wasn’t disappointed. Generous portions, grateful for free foods too. I I’ll be using again ‘

Great food x very polite delivery driver.

delivery driver very rode shouting because i didn’t open the door quick enough

Fantastic food and quick delivery, even got some freebies too

Really enjoyed my food. BBQ sauce was lovely & thank you for the prawn crackers 👍🏼

Lovely food excellent love the Hot and sour soup

Food was delivered in good time and was piping hot. A free dish was included which was excellent. All of the meal was lovely except for one dish, my favourite. The hot and sour soup was inedible, not sure if it was 'off' but it had a strong chemical taste/smell, had to be thrown away. Without this issue would have been 5 stars. Will order from here again but not the hot and sour soup.

the food was cold..the won ton soup had just one long bit of pasta..nice was more cuscous ..the noodles was very greasy...never order again was all cold

Such a shame, was so good at one time but now sadly awful. Ordered simple pork chow mein, special fried rice ,satay sauce, sweet sour chicken ball, all were terrible. Food arrived so quickly, 12 mins from order, pork was horrid grey colour in both dishes and tasted foul and rancid, satay sauce like sweet pale yellow custard, no taste, foul consistency, rest of order inedible all thrown in bin. Rang to complain, not much help referred us to just eat for refund, won't hold breath for refund but just won't use again. Bad cooking one thing, dodgy pork whole different thing.

Food was amazing and warm when it arrived. Plus they included free extras which was a lovely touch.

Great food. Delivered on time. Thank you.

Best Chinese in Southend! Always order from here always lovely hot food :-)

First time trying this place and wow, food was delivered fast, piping hot, delicious and even got couple freebies thank you :) friendly delivery driver too

Not sure about the sweet n sour sauce but the chow mein was good

My favourite by far.. great food every time..

Absolutely delicious as usual.

Tried all the top rated Chineses on here and found this one to be the best by far.

10/10, very nice food, thanks for the free chicken wings ⭐️

Great food never been late before these things happen

Ordered plain noodles and was sent a beef curry. . Not great for my vegetarian friend

Tasty food. 5 mins late, but it's a Friday evening so I can't really fault that. And they even threw in a few freebies for me. A great meal.

I will order again from Aroma House. Very tasty, hot food! Delivered quickly by friendly staff. Thank you.

Super quick delivery and lovely food. Thank you.

Bought 2 beef dishes. Very oily and my beef chow mein tasted burnt. I called the shop spoke to Helen, think she was the manager. She was very rude saying Theres nothing i can do. No I dont think theres a problem. Avoid this place..

Incredible Chinese. Every time.

We have been getting our food from here for years now, the food is always piping hot and tastes amazing. They even sometimes put a little free item in there and it’s such sweet touch. In my opinion they’re the best Chinese around.

Food was delicious and hot and arrived early. I was so happy as I'm 5 months pregnant and was starving. We was also given some free chicken wings, which was great. Definitely would order again

great great food came nice and hot :)

Food was cold, no sweet and sour sauce and chow mein pot was half way full

I’ve used Aroma House for 5 years. Their food is great and I won’t order from anyone else.

Lovely food and lovely delivery person, thank you

delivered super early! got it within 25 mins and it was delicious. girlfriend was super happy!

Accidentally gave them the wrong delivery address but they redelivered despite being out of their normal delivery zone. Food was great! Wish we could order from them again but alas we are out of range. Great service. Highly recommend.

Delicious. I’ve ordered from Aroma a few times but tonight the food was exceptional

Took 3 hours to get our food and we had to drive to pick it up in the end after paying for delivery because we weren’t sure where the food was. Rang the restaurant over 100 times and no one answers. When we did get the food it was horrible and not worth the wait at all. Would not recommend.

Singapore noodles were a little greasy but the food was great over all.

Quality food, super fast delivery and even gave us free bees

We had crab meat and sweetcorn soup and crispy lamb. The soup was so salty I could not finish it and the lamb was so dry I did not fish that either. The only positive was the free prawn crackersand fortune cookies so that is what I had for my dinner

Delivered on time, even earlier and no mistakes. The food was still hot, good sized portions and tasted very good.

Too much sauce why cant they separate it as it makes the rice soggy

love ordering from here, never disappointed and I feel they do value their customers 😊

Really outstanding food, Piping Hot and good service, will be ordering from Aroma House again ! Thank You !

lovely food, arrived quicker than expected.

Great chinese, thank you for the freebie :)

Found hair(long and short) in our food and a piece of metal probably from a metal scourer they use for washing up.. Even they didn't say sorry.. very disappointed, never order from here again

For goodness sake say if something contains meat. I ordered Singapore rice noodles and didn’t ask for anything to be added and it’s arrived loaded with chicken and I don’t eat meat. Also unclear if pancake rolls contain meat? Utter waste of money.

All the food are extremely salty, the level of saltiness makes me almost able see my great great grandmother. Not recommended. 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

A little over cooked some bit were a bit chewy

A delicious meal, filling, tasty and great value for money. Just what I needed after a day's work.

Beef Chow Mein was excellent, meat cooked perfectly. Kung Pao lovely, not too spicy! We got really surprised by the freebies! Thank you so much and we will definitely order again!

The veg was off and the prawn crackers were stale

Friday evening peak time our food arrived in 20 minutes, hot, perfectly seasoned, with free gift chicken wings. The Chicken Cantonese Style, the Special Chow Mein and the Kung Po Chicken were all yummy and large portions. The banana fritters were out of this world, the best I've eaten. The sauces and sides are also generous portions. Will definitely order again.

second time ordering and I can safely say its the best I've had in years, sweet and sour balls were full of chicken and the sauce was so tasty. every thing was so nice and even got some extras thrown in. keep up the good work guys

All good! Lovely food, the hot chicken wings are 👌🏻

perfect, my favourite Chinese place to go , perfectly cooked every time

Always amazing food. Great quality every single time

Amazing food received a lot of goodies enjoyed it

Consistently the best Chinese in the area (and I’ve tried most of them!). Tasty, hot food delivered swiftly!

Lovely food and service would definitely buy from again 😊

Ordered from aroma twice now. Food is fantastic with huge portions and the free spring rolls and fortune cookies are really appreciated. Fantastic Chinese takeaway!

Great food, good service. Will definitely use again.

The food is always great, generous portions & free food gifts.

Best Chinese we’ve had in a long time! Thank you!

Always very quick and food is great!

Something or someone has changed here. Last two orders have been disappointing. This time the chow mein was way too salty, almost to the point of being inedible. Satay sauce almost tasteless. Crispy chilli chicken was ok though. However, I don’t think I’ll be using you again. Shame, used to be great.

Excellent food - hit the spot perfectly

Food was hot and lovely! Also got free spring rolls which was a nice touch

Food was lovely and hot and received two free packets of prawn crackers, two trays of chicken and a bag of fortune cookies. it was a large order as well because my family had just got back from a day trip to London. I always choose Aroma. Thank you 👍

Absolutely awful, disgusting- will never use again.

Cancelled order and did not received a refund

Absolutely amazing. Food is delicious. Perfect service. I was asking to have chicken wing piecea which has 2 bones in it only, and they did it.Sounds funny, but little things like this makes me to come back. Great service. Thank you very much. Will definitely order again!

Good food...and very prompt. Even got free pancake rolls...which was a nice surprise. 👌

Great food, fast delivery. Highly recommend+++

Food was great. Always is. Delivery driver weren’t happy about the flights of stairs up to my flat and he made sure I knew he weren’t happy. Maybe don’t be a delivery driver id you don’t like stairs? Just a thought.
