Aroma Hot Pot 朝天门火锅

I came here a couple of days ago and I’m still thinking about their hotpot. It was that good! The moment you walk in, the place smells amazing. The food bar has so many options, from noodles and fresh veggies to seafood and fish balls. Everything was super clean and fresh. The quality of the meat was also great. I used to go to Liuyishou a lot, but after trying this place, I’m switching over. This is my new favorite hotpot spot. One thing that really stood out was the service. The middle-aged uncle who served us was so kind and attentive. He checked on us often and made sure we had everything we needed without being pushy. It really made the whole experience feel warm and welcoming. It honestly makes me a little sad that there’s no line outside their doors. This place really deserves more love. If you’re into hotpot, go check them out and support a great local restaurant.

A new but definitely delicious hotpot gem in chinatown with spicy chongqing broth. We tried the basic option and had more than enough and dont forget the $4 student discount like we did. They have plenty of appetizers options, along with sauce bars, veggie, noodle, and seafood bars. The meat entries are ordered with our server. Drinks and desserts are also included. Will come back!

We had such a wonderful experience thanks to our waitress and the staff for being so kind and patient! It was our first time trying hot pot and our waitress helped us in understanding what to order, and overall was very attentive. I would definitely recommend the pork belly and lamb. I will say, don’t get the medium spicy broth unless you’re fond of heat. Maybe opt for the low level spicy, although we really enjoyed the one we got! Overall ambiance was amazing and everything was very clean. I wish we had taken more photos of our food but we were too excited to eat 🥲

This may be one of my new favorite hot pot places in Chicago. The all-you-can-eat menu is so worth it with the variety of meats, vegetables, and desserts you can choose from. The golden chicken soup broth is so rich and flavorful. The build your own sauce bar has a great selection and includes some smaller appetizers. You can also select your own sides at the buffet - mushrooms, noodles, squid, lettuce, mussels, etc. Self serve soft drinks are included. Overall, really good food and service. I’d definitely come back here again!

Everything, literally everything was great. I was confused with their menu, but a server patiently introduced the ingredients - very nice and kind. Their food bar was well organized and all ingredients looked soooo fresh. All workers frequently checked the food bar to make sure that it meets their expectations. I don’t even have to talk about the food. I will definitely come back!!

First time trying hot pot and was very confused as to how it works. Our waiter and waitress helped with every question and walked us through every step of the way. We had the lamb shoulder as one of our meats and it was 10/10, 5 stars. We will be coming back to try everything else on the menu!

I had an amazing experience at Aroma Hotpot! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was outstanding. Alex went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. He’s incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome. Honestly, he's the best server I’ve ever had. Thank you, Alex, for making our visit so enjoyable! I’ll definitely be coming back.

This was my first time at a hot pot restaurant and I throughly enjoyed myself. I had the spicy broth, the herbal chicken and the golden chicken. There’s a great assortment of options to choose from. Everyone is really nice. I had some green tea that was made near perfection. I would definitely come back and bring friends.
