Located on Marefair, Aroma Chinese restaurant is located right in the heart of Northampton town centre. Just a few minutes’ walk from the train station and in the same complex as the Vue Cinema and just round the corner from other dining establishments such as Marefair Roma and Thai Nam Tip, Aroma is in the perfect location for a bite to eat before a movie, between shopping trips or before a night out in town.

Aroma offers informal, buffet style dining. The large, open plan dining room is spacious and airy thanks to the full length windows that run the length of the restaurant. Guests help themselves to the buffet, which is in the centre of the restaurant. The buffet is topped up continuously and all dishes are made fresh throughout service. 

As a Chinese buffet you will of course find a feast of popular Chinese dishes. There is no set menu and therefore you can eat whatever dishes you like. There is a vast amount of choice and beef, prawn, fish, noodle, rice, duck, pork and seafood dishes are readily available. At least thirty of the dishes will be available at lunch times, with the full sixty on offer in the evenings. Favourite dishes include; Deep Fried Crab Claws, Barbecue Spare Ribs, Wonton Soup, Lemon Chicken, Prawns in Sweet Chilli sauce, Sweet and Sour Pork, Cantonese Roast Duck, Beef in Black Bean sauce, Stir Fried Mixed Vegetables and Egg Fried Rice. There is also a Teppanyaki bar where you can watch your food being cooked fresh in front of your eyes and a dessert table packed with sweet treats. 

Aroma is the perfect venue for a casual lunch or evening meal. The eat as much as you like style of dining has proved very popular and is great value for money. Stuff yourself silly at Aroma in Northampton town centre, any time of day.

Overall

Good place to go if you're really hungry and want to eat quickly without waiting around. Downsides are that the prices are a bit much for what is on offer. Still, enjoyed eating here and then going straight to the cinema.
