Aroma Chef

Authentic Chinese restaurant with a huge menu and functional interior. The prices are reasonable and the food was generally very good. We had stir fried lamb with cumin and the salt and pepper duck tongues which were excellent. The sour and spicy soup was ok, I've had better. The service was quick and friendly.

This is without a shadow of a doubt the best place to eat in Lancaster, if you enjoy the spicier side of life. A genuine and authentic (as far as I can tell) taste of Sichuan cousine. Many of the dishes with chilli use Sichuan peppercorn which gives you a unique numbing of the mouth without being eye wateringly spicy. We regularly go for celebrations of special events in life, or if we've been away for too long. I would recommend the pork chef special and ma po dou fu seen on the attached photo, with some rice and bok choy cooked in garlic. The portions are generous and between two sides and two mains you'll be completely stuffed. Other dishes we've tried are the hot pots (yum) and the dandan mian noodles (also yum and MASSIVE). Also the cold chicken in chili sauce from the cold menu is surprisingly refreshing! The 'chinese' menu has rough translations of the dishes so don't be afraid to reach for that one. Mind you Google tripe before you order it 😂😁 The servers are friendly and smiley, we've never had problems with the service.

My sister raved about this place, so visiting Lancaster, we decided to have lunch here.. Food was bland apart from the beef in black bean sauce. Had to ask for soy sauce to give it some flavour. Even my sister who has been coming to eat for years wasn't impressed. Forgot some of my order. Maybe it was just a one off. Will visit again and give it another try. Very busy and food was very fresh. Will post another review when I visit again.

Soulful food. I recommend the jasmine tea as the quantity and quality both will satisfy you. The servers are quite friendly and will help you out with the menu if you can't decide what to order. The food quantity is really good and will fill you up to the brim especially any item you order with the sauce. Last but not the least it has got a good and quiet ambience which you can enjoy with both friends and family.

Went there for my first try of Chinese food with friends. The restaurant has a rich menu of Chinese foods which can both be a blessing or a curse. Luckily the staff were helpful with providing recommendations. Had chilli chicken and white rice and although the chicken was a bit too spicy hot for my liking, I enjoyed the meal. Also got to try the beef and one fish stew from my friends plates and they were nice, especially the beef. My other friends who ordered noodle soups also enjoyed them.
