"I recently dined at Aroma with some Buisness clients and was thoroughly disappointed with the experience. The first thing that struck me was the temperature of the buffet. Every dish, from the supposed hot entrees to the side dishes, was lukewarm at best. The duck, a dish that should be served piping hot, was barely above room temperature. The supposed hot soups were tepid, making them utterly unappetizing. Not only was the food cold, but it also lacked variety. For the exorbitant price they charge, I expected a vast selection of dishes to choose from. Instead, I was met with a meager assortment of uninspired options. The salad bar was particularly disappointing, with a few wilted greens and unremarkable dressings. The main courses were limited to a few poorly prepared dishes that left much to be desired in terms of both taste and presentation. Moreover, the presence of MSG in many of the dishes was overwhelming. Shortly after eating, I began to feel unwell. I experienced a headache and an uncomfortable sense of bloating, which I can only attribute to the excessive use of MSG. In today 's culinary world, where many establishments are moving towards healthier, MSG-free options, this reliance on artificial flavor enhancers is both outdated and concerning. Given the high prices, I expected a gourmet experience but was instead treated to subpar food that left me feeling ill. I would advise anyone considering dining at aroma to think twice. There are far better dining options available that offer both quality and value for money. Save your time and your stomach, and choose a different restaurant."

"My wife and I had a Quick lunch at Ned's Noodles, we both had sweet and sour chicken Noodles,which was really nice.The only complaint I have is that when we went to sit down after placing our order. When a foreign lady who I think...was Eastern European began to shout at us telling us that we could not sit where we was as she and her children who all appeared to be of secondary school age were sitting there. I said no one was sitting here when we sat down,She started yelling at us and my wife asked me not to argue with her over a seat. We then moved away I watched and noticed the group of people had not purchased any food from Ned's Noodles at all. But of the group had Taco Bel which was next door and had Mc Donalds and the had subway. she then left the young girl's at Ned's Noodles with about full bags of shopping while she went off shopping again and came back about minutes later eating a subway meal and had another two filled shopping bags with her. She sat down with the young girls and once again had a go at another ladies who tried to sit near them. I then said to the woman you have dumped these young girls here with all your shopping and you have not purchased one item of food from Ned's Noodle's then you saunter up as if you own the place with more shopping and a subway meal, then have the cheek to shout at these two ladie's because they sat near you and your shopping this is Ned's Noodles and the seating is for the people who are paying and eating their food purchased here.You have no right to be rude and abusive to people when you have not spent a penny at this place,you are just taking liberties, she started to scream at me in another language I told her to shut up and go away.But none of the staff appeared to bothered as to what this woman was doing, I think a sign should be put up that only patrons who have purchased Ned's food may use the seating area available. Unfortunately I would think twice before going to Ned's again."
