"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establishments are moving towards healthier, MSG-free options, this reliance on artificial flavor enhancers is both outdated and concerning.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."
