    Street Pork Ka Prao

    Had a very tasty lunch at Royal YUM! The lunch special came w choice of soup or salad. I chose soup which was the right choice. I always thought egg drop soup was good but boring and bland. Not the case here. Very flavorful w a touch of spice! My entree was delicious as well. I would definitely come back to try their pho.

    Definitely found some delicious Thai food at Royal Yum. The menu was full of dishes to choose from it was hard to narrow it down. Our eyes were bigger than our stomachs and we ordered so much. I loved the concept of the curry sampler. They had so many different options and I'm glad we got to try a couple of them. Each curry was good. Full of flavor and loads of chicken and veggies. I loved the crab fried rice. The sweet pieces of crab went perfectly with the savory fried rice. My nephew loved everything they put on the table but he inhaled the popcorn chicken and the curry sampler. Customer service was great and all our questions were answered. The parking and getting to the restaurant was a little difficult due to construction. Royal Yum 801 Sunset St Denton, TX 76201 (Review 41 in 2025 and 884 overall)

    Egg drop soup and salad
    Kim W.

    Visited from out of town and wanted a quick lunch. What drew me to the place were the positive reviews and the photos of the food. However, I was very disappointed. I'm almost certain they use can curry paste. My first taste of the curry, tasted like the Massaman curry I make at home. The waiter asked what spice level and I ordered medium and my brother ordered the highest spice level and it didn't have any heat to it, which makes me further believe it's not custom made. My beef on the Pad Thai was overcooked and very tough, I regretted getting that as my protein. The hot peanut butter dressing was very strange and made the salad heavy since it was really thick. The egg roll tasted store bought. The sweet sauce that comes with the egg rolls and the appetizer did not complement the food. Nothing was really outstanding besides the crispy basil chicken. I love that they put the rice in a cat mold, it makes it fun and does set them apart from a lot of other places. The three flavor chicken was good, the chicken was still very moist and had a flavorful sauce to it. Service was attentive and we always had our waters filled. The price point for lunch is reasonable for the amount of food. Our food came out fairly quick. The restaurant was very clean and roomy. I personally would not recommend this place as I feel there's likely much better Thai out there. The restaurant seemed like it had its regulars, which is great.

    Kitty-shaped rice!
    Kim D.

    I was very impressed! The location has fun, welcoming decor and a good ampunt of space. Our server was exceptional, very friendly and attentive. We ordered a couple ofappetizers for the table, and we highly recommend the wanton nachos. It sounds odd, but tastes great! I got a tofu dish with peanut sauce and it was very good! Everyone loved what they ordered, which is always nice. I thought that the kitty-shaped rice was a great little touch, so cute! We'll definitely be returning!

    Best Thai food I've had since I've been in Texas! They don't watch the front door very well. Takes a minute before they noticed you walked in, but once seated the service is great.

    Really wanted Thai for dinner and usually order from Thai Square. Finding parking is alway challenging for Thia Square, so decided to order from Royal YUM. With the street Sunset being under construction parking in the business area across might be necessary. Sukiyaki Stir-Fry Noodles with chicken was ordered and it was a delicious dish.

    My wife and I decided to try this place for our anniversary dinner. We really enjoyed the service and the speed of our food was great. Plus the food was amazing at a great price. We came in around four so it wasn't too busy. The place was real nice with calming music.

    Lettuce wrap
    Karina C.

    Great tasting food. The kids and I shared the lettuce wraps, Thai dumplings, orange chicken and Thai fried rice. It was all delicious, especially the lettuce wraps. I am going back soon because it was so good. Service was great too. Very attentive. Only thing I was a little disappointed in is they chill their Cabernet Sauvignon. It's suppose to be served room temp. But that's ok, the food and service is worth going back.

    Garlic shrimp

    Really great food and service. I had garlic shrimp and my husband had Kung Pao chicken. Restaurant was nice and clean and relaxing. Waitress was very polite and on top of everything.

    I found Hot Spots Eat Fresh after looking around for spots nearby that searched for General Tso's…read morechicken. This is one of my favorite dishes. This restaurant had high reviews, the food pics look good, so I said why not give it a try? I placed a pick up order online from their website and parked and went inside to get my food. I did notice they do have a drive through and curbside pick up. Inside was pretty spacious and it had a few people eating around lunch time on a weekday. My food was ready when I went to get it, which was awesome. General Tso's chicken was very delicious. The piece of chicken meat was fresh and tasty and good pieces, but the tough and chewy parts of the chicken. The flavor was good, not too sweet or spicy. However I wish they had broccoli included. The rice was steamed food and tastes as you would expect white rice from a Chinese restaurant to taste like, bland to mild flavor (It's white rice). I definitely would recommend this spot and you should try them out too. I know I'll be back!

    I've ordered through uber eats frozen Hot Spots Eat Fresh. Honestly one of the main reasons I tried…read morethis spot was because of the reviews on Yelp. I got the wonton soup, chicken wing, combo fried rice, lo mein, and chicken egg rolls. The wonton soup and combo fried rice were the stars of the show. The lo mein, chicken egg rolls and chicken wings were ok. The service is always fast, which is great if you're hungry through.

    I wasn't planning to write a review, but this place left such a bad taste in my mouth (pun…read moreintended) that I still get angry thinking about it. In March 2019, my dad and I both became extremely ill after eating here. I woke up at 3 a.m. with a very high fever, vomiting, and diarrhea. I was sick for hours and continued dealing with nausea for nearly five days. We both ended up in the ER, and I required IV fluids and monitoring. It was, without question, the sickest I have ever been. I reported this restaurant to city code, and the health department was there within an hour of my complaint. Below is the report from the health department: "Anonymous, Our inspection of the New China King Buffet did not go well, and the restaurant has been closed until it can come up to basic health standards. In short, the kitchen needs a thorough cleaning, temperature rules were not being obeyed, and practices within the kitchen were not up to modern standards. Again, I am sorry that you and your family became ill, but I do appreciate you taking the time to inform us of the problem. Please let me know if there is anything more that I can provide you. Respectfully, Kevin Cummings | Chief Health Inspector Department of Development Services | Consumer Health Division" What concerns me even more is that the restaurant appeared to reopen almost immediately. I'm not sure how that process works, but it was surprising given the severity of the violations. When I later filed a BBB complaint, the restaurant responded with claims that I showed up the next day to argue with them. That is completely false. I didn't leave my house for a week for being so ill. They also suggested only my dad was affected, which is also untrue--we were both seriously ill. This makes me question whether there were other incidents they may be confusing this with. They even threatened legal action over my review, which I find unreasonable. Customers have every right to share their honest experiences. Based on what happened to us and the pattern of reviews since, I would strongly urge others to be cautious when eating here.
