Visiting Braintree and having dinner in this Chinese buffet restaurant and I wasn’t disappointed. We ordered a starter menu followed by some main courses,some of my group struggled with starter dishes,because there was so much of them,both waiter and waitress are very attentive without being intrusive and all questions were answered thoroughly and With politeness. I’ll be definitely visiting again if coming to Braintree.

Absolutely amazing. Went on a Monday night, Greeted with a smile and a warm welcome and seated. Food was delicious, nothing was a problem. Staff were friendly.

I’m not really a huge fan of Chinese food as most of the restaurants I’ve tried in Braintree have been ghastly. However, this evening we chose Eastern Aroma for the first time, and I must say, the food does not disappoint! It was extremely tasty (60% of the dishes were vegetarian!) and I would deffo be keen to try more items next time.

1st time there, lovely and clean, food absolutely yummy, our waiter was fantastic with the kids.

Well it was astonishing that eat as much as you can, could taste so good, utterly enjoyed it and it was so delicious, if only I could eat more, but once you reach that limit, there is no more space. However I would recommend this to anyone alone or with a group, as it was well clean and tidy and the staff where very polite. Deserves a five star in my mind. Thank you Eastern Aroma.

Very nice food indeed, hot and appeared to be fresh (no tripple cooked chicken balls here) Cost of the food is going up in general but other than that can’t fault it.

This was exceptional. The staff welcomed us and made us feel at home. The food was beautifully presented with care and the portion sizes were perfect. I felt like I got very good value for money.

Haven’t been in for a long time for various reasons, phoned in on Saturday night for a delivery service was great . Food was fantastic WOW !! Also worth mentioning that gentleman who took my order ,really helpful and friendly. 100% would recommend.
