Used this Chinese takeaway for years now. Have to say the service and food is consistently top draw. Sometimes frustrating that they will only take cash (must be casino nights 😂) but that’s my only grumble

Friendly, great food especially Satay and Green pepper/Black bean sauce dishes. If you like Hot & Sour soup, it's the best I've ever had!

This place was very good when it first opened, but went down hill and got a 1 star hygiene rating! I stayed away until they got back to 4 stars. Unfortunately my most recent visit will be my last for the foreseeable future. The 'vegetarian' chicken looks more like a load of gristle and skin, it was so off putting we didn't bother trying to eat it - the rest of our order was no more than tepid warm after a 2 minute drive home. Sorry but that's far from acceptable.

What a cheek telling u to bring cash means 1 thing this is not going through the books. Then say we dont take cards, lies just seen a customer pay by card. Then add insult to injury 50pence charge for using a card. Rubbish service and food.

We’ve tried all the ones in the area and now we just keep going back here, if you like a dish and you order it again, it will taste the same. What more could you ask?

Not that nice. The serving person is rude. The food is not the best there are more bean shoots than Noodles in the Chow mien. Better one in the area.

Had a take away from here Sunday 27th August - £19.00 very expensive for what we had and it was disgusting food very bland and tasteless will not have a takeaway from here again - it used to be very nice. We will stick to Kings on Cannon Street in the future.

We ordered from Aroma for the first time in quite a while and were very disappointed. Previously the food was always perfect and I would have described it as the best Chinese I had ever had, but now it is the worst. The ingredients seem to have changed, squid was really oily and not cooked properly. Crispy shredded beef was soggy and the sauce was not right. Have they changed owners or have the original owners gone away? I will not be going back, which is a shame.

Always go here as it is my local Chinese. Great portions. Good weekday deals also for meal choices including set menu for less than £10. Staff are friendly. We never have to wait too long either. Food is always fresh and the king prawns in the fried rice are huge! The dumplings are also very good. Free prawn crackers are always offered. Would recommend a visit for a good Chinese! My friend always gets chilli beef and says it’s amazing!

Tried Aroma again hoping it was back to its best. I was wrong not good at all, prices increased, portion sizes reduced, will only take cash!? Not only that the food quality was poor. I will be looking for another Chinese I’m afraid. Gutted

The Aroma is our local Chinese takeaway, we have used it a handful of times last year and will still continue to use it, The food is very tasty and doesn't have you up in the middle of the night feeling like you have eaten the entire contents of a road side salt bin, the ingredients seem to be premium - a lot of Chinese's serve cheap food that contains MSG and consequently leave you feeling rough the next day.

Por un aroma visita regularmente para llevar y la verdad es que un par de veces ha sido un poco decepcionante, pero en el último par de meses su vuelta a su mejor, particularmente el Singapore Chow Mein, que está llena de sabor! Pedido de pollo en salsa de ostras que estaban encantados de agradecido, también super sabroso.

This takeaway used to be very good but has now gone badly downhill so use another of the many places in this area. The staff are rude, they keep changing their mind regarding payment and will now not take credit cards. The food is now below average and orders are often wrong when collected and despite the lead time given when placing a telephone order it is often not ready. A classic case of a good reputation being ruined by complacency. Try elswhere

It has been sometime since I have had a takeaway from here and have previously been impressed. Last night we had something that was tasteless and very disappointing. The ordering and speed of service is excellent but they have appear to have lost the will of the spicing/flavouring. Overall very disappointed

Serves excellent westernised “Chinese” food. This is our go to local takeaway we have been going here since it opened. The food is hot and freshly cooked. You can actually see into the kitchen area and watch the food being cooked. Portions are generous but if you do not want to hang around phone your order in first.

First time I had Chinese from Aroma I thought it was so good I was going to phone and tell them (I didn't as my husband thought it would be a bit weird!) that was about 3 years ago now and we often make it a once a fortnight treat. We absolutely love it. I try different dishes & they are all fantastic. The meat & prawns are top quality. You get plenty. None of that cheap spongy chicken here! You get free prawn crackers each time. I call & collect my order and they are so quick...usually ready in 10 mins. You see your food being prepared by the busy chefs & I always get served by the smiley owners. I will never go anywhere else. Keep up the great work & please don't close or move!!

We always use this one although it's further from our house as it is consistently good, not too heavy on the salt and you get a free bag of crackers.

First time we have been to this takeaway. Wide range of food at a reasonable price. You can see the guys cooking while ordering at the desk, and the conditions in the kitchen, which I like to see, instead of them being hidden away. We all enjoyed our food, chicken a bit cheap maybe but tasted good, wifes chicken fried rice a bit dry but still good. Location is a bit hidden away in a housing estate out of town, but worth searching out.

My other half was treating me to dinner and always raved about here. Last time I was not impressed but said we would try again. My duck in plum sauce was so over cooked I could not eat it and my banana fritters had two small pieces of banana that were black I gave up. I am sure it was just a bad night but very disappointed.

We have been using Aroma as our Chinese takeaway for the last 3 years and it has to be one of the best we have used. For other cuisine we tend to change between a number of different establishments, since living in Wellingborough we have not tried another Chinese takeaway as this one is so good. The service is very quick and only twice since we have been using them have we had to wait more than 10 minutes, usually we order leave the house straight away and by the time we get their our food is ready. This Chinese is always busy and people come from some distance away for the food which shows how good it is. So far we haven't had anything we didn't like on the menu and between our family and friends have tried almost everything.In addition to being quick service and fab food the staff are very friendly and polite even when busy.

Tucked away in a corner of tiny retail park, this takeaway is not to be shrugged off. We have to drive there, but do we care? No. The black bean and green pepper tofu calls to us from afar, along with the amazingly friendly cashiers. Almost every time we've rang to order, the food was ready in five minutes. Every Chinese takeaway in Wellingborough pales in comparison.

When I lived in Wellingborough this was where I'd usually get a Chinese takeaway from. The food was always very tasty and there's plenty of choice on the menu.One snag is that when ti gets busy the service tends to fall apart so you can be waiting an age for your food.

Having read reviews on TA I was in need of sustenance between evening jobs. So I scrolled down the reviews for what was described as "the best Chinese in Wellingborough". The food I received led me to comment to my friends that is was the worst Chinese I had ever purchased.I ordered the crispy salt and chilli squid. The rock hard nuggets of overcooked frozen product would have had me bankrupt my self at the dentist. Inedible was an understatement. I returned to complain and they couldn't have been more helpful and apologetic. Another portion was promptly cooked and was almost as inedible as the first. It would have better to let them defrost in my mouth than let them suffer the indignity of being tortured by the chef. As well as being rock hard like chippings from a biscuit joiner they had about as much flavour as potato soup. Then on to the Singapore rice noodles; a glutinous mass of oil, noodles, scrambled egg and curry powder. I suffered severe eye strain trying in vain to find any other ingredient in this dish. The large pancake roll was greasy and cold in the centre, witnessed by the echo of raw bean-sprouts chafing against my teeth. If this is the best Chinese in Wellingborough I would recommend that only those locals who have no experience of good food should dine there and let the rest of us avoid this place at all costs. This is a terrible testament to the sorrowful state of take away food in this town. I for one will not be returning - however desperate I become. Next time I will opt to gnaw the flesh from the leg of a live squirrel before sullying my palette with such paltry fare.

after googling 'best Chinese in wellingborough' the first to comeup was this one, so went in the car and got one from there. Wow, it really was the best. Clean friendly shop, nice staff, decently priced food. The shop was so busy people in and out constantly whilst I was there, great service system too. The food wasn't greasy like some. So fresh and delicious. Only downfall is that they don't deliver which is a shame if you don't drive.

Had a meal yesterday which included their "SCHWEZEN HOT N SOUR SOUP & THAI PRAWN CURRY".Wow, they were great and left a nice taste in your mouth.The Service as usual was excellent, when you phone an order in it takes no more than 5-10 to collect, and the staff are always friendly and polite.

This is my local Chinese takeaway and, so far, unbeatable in the Wellingborough area. The shop itself is spotless, the staff are friendly and the food is really tasty. Chinese food tends to contain a lot of "gloop" but the food here is relatively fat-free and "gloop" free. I'm not usually a big fan of Chinese food but I don't think I've ever been disappointed coming here. A well-earned 4-stars from me!

We tried Aroma as our favourite Chinese has just recently closed. The service was very fast and the food was packed well and in a little bag with the Aroma logo and telephone number - a nice touch. The prawn crackers weren't good they tasted stale. We had sweet and sour chicken balls and although they were a good size, I felt they were a little on the greasy side. The rice was good. We also had prawns which were also just ok. Overall the meal wasn't bad but it wasnt good enough for me to want to rush back to Aroma!
