    What I love about Asia Aromas is everything: location, taste, and serving size. Whether you're in the airconditioned area or at the al fresco space, you'll feel cozy and relaxed as you dine. The taste of their menu had definitely reminded me of Chinatown in Manila, the world's oldest. I feel like I'm just near my home. The serving size is impressive and satisfying. Their small size dish can be good for three so you can order another from their wide menu. Lunch or dinner, yes, this is one of Port Moresby's best go-to places.

    I have mixed feelings about Asia Aromas. In a way it's nostalgic as the menu feels like a 1970s-80s Australian Chinese restaurant. They also have a Thai menu. In another way it just doesn't "do it" for me. I realize that's vague. I have a few standard menu choices I order because I like them and they have never disappointed. In PNG where consistency is rare that's a recommendation in itself. Some other reviews have negative comments about the service. It's not great but it's also not bad. 3 stars for everything seems about right. Their Thai dried dishes are good -- both chicken & prawns, but the Thai dried beef isn't worth choosing. Salt & pepper squid or prawns are also good and rated highly by many in Port Moresby. The photo in the review is Thai Dried Prawns

    We live this restaurant. Good food. They offer three sizes of meals. Small will feed one, medium well fed 2 and large will feed family.

    My family and I love to visit this place when visiting from the eastern highlands. The price is just right and the Indian food selection is world-class. There’s not a single thing on the menu I wouldn’t recommend however we did spot a cockroach, LOL, running across the floor when we were eating but who cares it’s PAPUA NEW GUINEA lol.

    For a cooperate dine out, this is the venue. First visit again 15/09/2022, I will give 4 star this time. Love the food. Needs interior re-design.

    Great food, pays to book for peak times such as lunch and dinner. Everything is clean and fresh except the decor. More SE Asian than Chinese, which is in my opinion a far better palette for their customer base. Institutional must do for Pom.

  • 5/5 Nick N. 1 year ago on Google
    Always a great place to eat and friendly service with great view over the ocean. Wouldnt recommend the mud crabs size vs value. I say they average size but the Mrs always says its too small not satisfying.

    Ordered chicken in lemon sauce. Takeaway. It smelled funny and chicken was raw in the middle. Had to re-fry it at home. Manager consistently unfriendly. have already eaten there several times. never again from now on. Sogno, Duffy and Tandoor has better atmosphere and friendlier staff.

    Great atmosphere enjoyed the food, service needs to improve, not sure if they're short staffed. Maybe time to have electronic devices provided to wait staff.

  • 3/5 Jephta S. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a little compact, so not ideal for private meetings like work or business but they do have private rooms. The food is good and reasonably priced.

  • 5/5 Thomasina Ah B. 5 years ago on Google
    Food was great and service very prompt. Car parking at the moment is not very convenient however. It's about 300m from front entrance if you're unlucky to grab a spot in the front which is a security issue.

  • 2/5 Nick L. 2 years ago on Google • 6 reviews
    The food was great but only customer service needs improveing. Maybe the waitresses need to improve in handling eating utensils correctly. The place is well setup and very comfortable.

    Went today at around 2pm, order a pad thai and dry sauce prawn, after waiting for 40 minutes I followed up to the waiter and waiter first told us that there is no prawn, and that they can no longer serve us as the kitchen is now closed.

  • 5/5 Brian P. 5 years ago on Google
    I am always excited to visit Asian Aromas because the experience never disappoints me. It begins with the ambience and great location near the water, and it continues with a staff that is eager to serve and take care of your wishes. I cannot have enough about the food. I typically eat the seafood dishes which are all excellent. Crab, prawn, fish, etc... The food can be a bit pricey, but you will not regret your time at this amazing place.
