AROMA Vietnamese Kitchen & Sushi Bar in Essen

Super friendly staff and good service. There is a particularly large selection for vegetarians and vegans thanks to the extra menu. And the food was super delicious! Really recommended🥰

The food was delicious and the staff were very accommodating and polite, thank you very much!

Great service, delicious food 🥣 And good beer 🍻 Always happy ✌🏻

Good food at a reasonable price

Delicious. Staff is also very friendly. What I also highly recommend is the local Pho soup. We said that we would like to try typical Vietnamese and the waitress recommended the Pho soup. The boss brought the recipe herself from Vietnam. We were very pleasantly surprised that something so watery tasted so delicious and aromatic. We never imagined that something so watery would taste so delicious and aromatic. For everyone who (like us) is only fixated on sushi, I would definitely recommend trying this Pho soup.

One of the best Korean cuisine I have ever eaten. I discovered the shop by chance because I still had time for my train. I was so excited, I went there a second time today. The homemade tagliatelle, as well as the shrimp and the salad, all perfect and high quality. I'd love to come back and try out other dishes :) You're great, very friendly and thank you for finding you!

Delicious food and super friendly service. ❤️ We'll definitely be back!

A great restaurant that offers a variety of Vietnamese dishes and the taste has always been TOP! The staff is very attentive and tries to fulfill all your wishes, even when the restaurant is fully booked, without falling into stress and hectic :)

Super nice, we were spontaneously lucky to get a place on a Friday. It was very crowded. Otherwise make a reservation. The vegan duck was incredibly good. I will definitely try other alternatives here, there is an extra vegan menu. Very special

Very tasty food and good service. Yes

Clear photos and good reviews attracted us to the Aroma restaurant. We were welcomed so warmly and warmly, as if we were the most expected and valued guests. The ambience and atmosphere were a delight for the eyes and ears. A glowing aquarium with rare fish sits in the middle of the restaurant and constantly attracts attention. The guests come in groups and some may find it loud, but we actually liked it, it seems celebratory. I ordered salmon and my husband ordered beef with rice and salad - it was delicious and beautifully presented. A novelty for us was the Vietnamese coffee, which was strained and filtered directly into the cup and the cup already contains condensed milk. We were passing through Essen and will definitely come back next time.

Super delicious food, especially Jo who looked after us so kindly and attentively!!

Super delicious food and great atmosphere!

Great food, great service! Large vegan selection, everything is great!

Legga legga. The store is really cool. Hdgdl. See you soon ❤️❤️

Super tasty and friendly service! I'll definitely be back!

I am visiting from Bulgaria this place and i should totally recommend it because even the beer tastes like home. There is this waitress named Jo Escobar- she is the best waitress till now Im meeting. If i decide to visit Essen again I will come here just because of her!

The taste was good, but it gets loud very quickly when it's full. The dumplings were still frozen inside and my friend got duck instead of chicken. To be fair, it has to be said that we could have complained about this and would certainly have received the correct response. But then the food would probably have ended up in the trash and that was too bad for us.

Very tasty food and friendly staff in a pleasant atmosphere.

The day before yesterday we ate at Aroma in Essen. We really enjoyed everything: the cuisine, the atmosphere, the service. Thank you for the lovely time.

Great food, great service. Simply a top store. 5/5

A lovely Vietnamese restaurant with friendly and quick service. The summer rolls were fresh and delicious, and the mango salad actually had a lot of mango and was very tasty. The sushi was good—nothing extraordinary, but fresh and tasty. The prices aren't exactly cheap, but the quality of the food justifies them. Overall, a successful visit, and I'd be happy to come back!

Very delicious food, super attentive service. I'll be back again soon!

Warm service. You feel comfortable, the atmosphere is pleasant and the food is delicious! Thanks for the nice experience!🫶🏽

One of the best Vietnamese I have eaten in Europe. A lot of fresh vegetables and tasty plates. Service is fast and kind.

Everything is fresh, served well and suitable for me as an allergy sufferer (to wheat). The sweet waitress who called me “Schatzi” rounded it off. We'll be back 🫶🏼

The AROMA Vietnamese Kitchen & Sushi Bar offers acceptable food, but the price-performance ratio is not quite right. The beer was too warm for my taste, which spoiled the experience a bit. Overall there is room for improvement, but the atmosphere is pleasant.

A culinary experience at the highest level – this is how my visit to Aroma in Essen can be accurately described. As soon as I entered the stylishly furnished restaurant, I noticed the warm, inviting atmosphere. The service was excellent from the start - attentive, friendly and at the same time unobtrusive. The food selection was impressive and every dish we ordered turned out to be a masterpiece. The crispy fried sushi with its perfect balance of creaminess and crunch was a delight. The spicy Tom Kha Gai was a true taste explosion - a harmonious combination of coconut milk, lemongrass and subtle spiciness. The juicy teriyaki chicken, artfully served with sesame seeds and crunchy vegetables, was another highlight. Not to forget: the coffee – an aromatic composition with a velvety crema that was the perfect conclusion to the menu. The presentation of all dishes was not only visually appealing, but also reflected the high quality and freshness of the ingredients. A restaurant that impresses with exquisite cuisine, outstanding service and a welcoming atmosphere. A visit to Aroma is more than just a meal – it's an experience not to be missed.

Went there in the evening and just wanted something quick to eat. We got the card quickly, but were simply ignored for over 10 minutes afterwards. Who knows how long we would have waited there. Apparently they have enough customers here and don't care about their guests. Other guests next to us wanted to pay and had been waiting for a long time. Thanks for nothing, we'll go somewhere else. Ciao!

This restaurant had a great ambiance. The food was excellent and well-prepared. The only small issue was the cola—the first one I received was completely flat, lacking any fizz. However, when I pointed it out, the staff quickly replaced it with a fresh one, which was much better. Would definitely recommend!

Very nice service and delicious food.

Very inconspicuous from the outside, but the food is exceptionally good and the interior is cozy. I haven't eaten so well in a long time, I'd love to eat again!

Unreservedly recommended. Food is MEGA delicious. The staff is super nice and the service is also great. We always enjoy coming here. Cảm ơn bạn rất nhiều 🙏🏼

Not once was there anything to complain about. Everyone was very nice, the food was great and the atmosphere was very appealing. Gladly again. ☺️

We were seduced by the good reviews and were then very disappointed. It's very loud. The map is very large and diverse. We then had the red Thai curry and peanut sauce with crispy duck. Both were very nicely prepared but unfortunately really bland and without any pizzazz. The duck was also absolutely not crispy. The toilet was absolutely unkempt and dirty, someone here has perfected the cleaning and quick wiping over.

Very nice staff and very tasty food. Price-performance ratio is right.

No bill and the amount we were supposed to pay wasn't correct either way. A rogue is someone who thinks bad things 🏴🏴🏴

The very best food, super friendly service! 😊👌🏻

Food was very good. Likewise the service. Ambience is ok.

Great dishes and lots of choice. Vegans will find a lot here, there is a separate menu.

Very tasty and absolutely recommended.

Super delicious! Excellent food and very nice service.

Great food - everything is delicious! The staff is friendly and the location is just a 5 minute walk from Essen main station. Perfect - people are happy

Vietnamese restaurant near the main train station. Parking is difficult to come by nearby. Ambience was good, typically Vietnamese furnishings. Service was ok. Food was okay.

Really good food! The veg. Mango rice was fantastic

Unfortunately, the ratings are significantly too high for the food. This was simply boring in terms of taste and ultimately disappointing, it lacked the AROMA. There are better alternatives in the Ruhr area for eating Vietnamese. Service was okay, atmosphere loud and a bit stuffy, prices too high for the quality of the food.

Very tasty and prepared with a lot of love

Great cuisine, very special in terms of offering, selection, presentation and taste! Very friendly service, cozy atmosphere. Phenomenal.

Absolutely! We visited Vietnam and felt like we were on vacation! Thanks!

Quality and service simply fabulous. The best sushi I've eaten so far. Very high quality ingredients, everything perfect

nice service staff. very tasty food and my girlfriend and I were very satisfied!!

I ate a sushi platter here and my companion had a curry dish with rice and chicken. Both were very tasty, the curry had a natural spiciness and the chicken was very crispy. My sushi tasted fresh and was one of the best I've eaten. Gladly again!

Delicious! We'll be back The menu could be renewed. This looks tattered

Food is great. Great selection of Asian dishes and the service is very friendly and fast.

Very good cuisine. A must when you are in Essen.

Super tasty and high quality food, very nice staff and pleasant atmosphere. The dishes are lovingly and sometimes spectacularly prepared (dry ice). The price is on the higher end (and we were asked to pay in cash, although other tables were allowed to pay with card), but the quality is right. Thanks for the fortune cookie :)

Hardly any spices, salad drowns in syrupy sauce, fried noodles taste strongly of cheap oil, furnishings are more loeblis. Overall, there is no comparison with high-quality Asian restaurants.

If you want to eat very good sushi, this is definitely the right place for you 🥰 every time it tastes incredible and you are always welcomed very warmly The owner is just a sweetheart and the staff is always very nice and accommodating.😊 Best Sushi NRW 11/10

The comfortably furnished restaurant in a prime city location with really entertaining staff is an enrichment for all fans of Asian cuisine. That is certainly the case. No doubt. However, there are a few little things that were a bit annoying on the last visit. The Tom Kha Gai soup as a starter came to the table lukewarm. The baked duck as the main course had to be prepared very spicy on special request and ended up being quite mild and a bit pale on the plate. Still, overall it was a flavorful and delicious meal. Just turn the adjusting screws a little and it will be perfect...

I was in this restaurant again yesterday. I find it very comfortable there and the staff are consistently very friendly, attentive and pretty quick. The food was absolutely fresh, delicious and beautifully presented in all variations. The boss is a wonderfully open, crazy and sunny personality that you don't see every day. I would recommend this restaurant in good conscience.

Fantastic food, served incredibly quickly, great service. At most, I find the drinks prices slightly expensive. Would come back any time!

Very tasty food, especially the lunch menu is great. Totally friendly service, clean restaurant and nice atmosphere.

The restaurant is located diagonally opposite the back of Essen main station on a side street. It has an outdoor area and the inside is very comfortably decorated with flowers and Asian jewelry. There is definitely a nice background for photos in all directions. All the dishes we ordered were artistically decorated and the ingredients were very fresh. The staff is very friendly and you are served quickly. They are very attentive and always ask if you need anything else, but without being intrusive. The menu is very extensive. We had sashimi, udon noodles with beef and vegetarian flat rice noodles with vegan chicken. Everything tasted very good. We were there at 5:30 p.m., didn't make a reservation and still got a seat. The restsurant has a lot of seats . There are some paid parking spaces right in front of the door. We will definitely go there again.

All in all very recommendable. Huge menu from Vietnamese to Sushi. Payment via credit card starting with 20€.

Very very tasty!! :) Great service, happy to come back!

Very high quality food, the sushi is recommended!

The food is delicious. However, it is very loud in the store and the tables are close together. You cannot reserve a Tsuch in advance. When ordering, we were asked to state our order more quickly and the waiter didn't like the fact that we didn't have the dish numbers ready straight away. All in all, a delicious meal, but not a relaxed atmosphere.

Everything was very tasty, nice portions, good, friendly staff, we really liked it

Very tasty food, very friendly service - just good there! We'll be back 💛

Nice place. Friendly staff and food tasted good

A real tasty treat. Currently the best Vietnamese food in Essen. Despite the huge menu, every dish so far has been great. Service super friendly..

Great service, restaurant quality Vietnamese cuisine. Really recommended and there is also something for the eye. Typical Asian dishes, sushi and also unusual ones.

The food was delicious and the service was great :) super friendly and funny. We'll be back!! 🙂

The food is very tasty. We had soup, sushi and rice noodles with chicken. Service is top. We were served friendly and quickly. We'll definitely be back.

Everything is just super delicious The service is a 10 out of 10 Food tastes very tasty. I can recommend it to everyone, simply top

Unbeatably good - the sushi was absolutely delicious and beautifully prepared, the red Thai curry with the perfect spiciness, we always like to come back

Absolutely amazing, great food! If we are in Essen again, we have to go back! We were thrilled! 👌👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Very, very good food, cute atmosphere, service also very nice.

The summer roll with chicken for €6.90 was unfortunately a disappointment - the chicken was very dry and tasted rather boring. It was literally the worst thing I've eaten recently. The Bun Bo Nam Bo tasted very good, but the way it was presented was a bit awkward. The entire dish was served on a woven plate with a leaf. You then had to mix it with the fish sauce yourself in a small bowl. Visually appealing, but impractical - you end up just eating cold food. Overall it was a mixed experience. Solid in taste, but preparation and presentation could be rethought to improve enjoyment.

Delicious! Super friendly service team. I can definitely recommend it!

Very nice atmosphere, friendly service and great food

Sehr schön eingerichtete Restaurant mit leicht asiatischem Touch, aber auch sehr modern. Wir hatten jeder, die Frühlingsrollen als Vorspeise. Diese waren sehr lecker serviert mit einer süßsauren Sauce und mit frischem Beilagensalat und mit frischer Minze. Der Salat war mit einem leckeren Dressing angemacht. Außerdem hatten wir am Mittag die Hauptgerichte M9 knusprige Ente in Mango Sauce und die M6 scharf gebratenes Rindfleisch mit Zitronengras. Uns haben beide Gerichte außerordentlich gut geschmeckt. Alles war sehr lecker zubereitet und mit frischen Lebensmitteln wie Champignons, Paprika und Brokkoli gekocht. Die Bedienung war sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Das Essen wurde zeitnah serviert. Uns hat das Essen sehr gut geschmeckt und auch das Ambiente des Restaurants hat uns gut gefallen. Wir werden dieses Restaurant auf jeden Fall wieder besuchen.

Very good restaurant. Nice ambience and good service. Sushi highly recommended. Good restaurant. Depending on the day, a reservation may be helpful.

The food really blew me away, I haven't eaten so well in a long time 😍😍

Great! Very tasty, very friendly and the food was totally authentic. The unusual vegetables in the soups are great!!!! We'd LOVE to come back 😊

The food was horrible much too spicy. We had to wait between soup and main dish for about 2and half hours we ordered sushi but the sushi came much too late we just had finisihed our main course when they served our sushi nobody wanted too eat sushi any more we were there with grand children and they left before main course because we were waiting too long sade experience

I have rarely eaten something so delicious. And it was perfect for a large group - there was something new and delicious for everyone, from vegan to meat or sushi. And also great service, absolutely warm and professional. Recommended!

Highly recommended, super tasty!

It was incredibly delicious! The vegan duck really blew me away <3

The food was very tasty and the service was very friendly! It was a bit cold for us, maybe later will be better.

Very tasty and the boss is also super nice

The best sushi I've ever eaten was only twice in my life but it was really delicious and I can only recommend it Staff very friendly and helpful in all matters We'll come eat here again!

Fast and friendly service. Delicious food, large portions! Top price performance, gladly again!

Birthday dinner with owner planned months in advance. Table reserved for 17 people. Checked again 5 hours earlier to see if everything was OK. Then the disaster on my 60th birthday. The first starter came pretty quickly and then 2 hours!! Waited for the rest of the (pre-ordered) menu. 3 guests left early on my birthday. The owner's handling of the impossible situation was unsatisfactory. We were very good customers. That has now been resolved.

It deserves a Michelin star!! The best restaurant I've ever eaten at! I can recommend it to everyone who likes Asian cuisine! Don't miss it if you're there! 🙂

We were there both privately and on business (with over 30 people). The food was always very tasty and everything was beautifully prepared. The service is also friendly. You can't describe the boss, you have to experience her. 🥰☺️

Very nice place, pleasant and warm atmosphere! Tried Vietnamese cuisine for the first time and BOMB!!! Never had sushi before, but it was so delicious!! There is an extra menu for vegetarian dishes! Very nice and friendly staff, recommend and explain in detail. Very short waiting time, the food was served quickly, nice and warm. Again and again!!

Everything we ordered was super tasty.

We were there for the first time today. It wasn't very crowded since we had lunch on Sunday I think. Very friendly service who gave us very good advice. It wasn't loud, but rather pleasant. We felt very comfortable there and will come back. The food was very tasty and requests were catered for. The portions weren't too big. Parking was possible in front of the door. During the week with a parking ticket. We really liked it.

Super tasty, friendly team and the boss is very, very nice!!!
