Royal YUM - Denton (TX)

2 /5 Kim Wong: 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.

5 /5 Suren Xavier: Fantastic Thai restaurant! The owners make everything by hands every day and the food is absolutely delicious! I got the chicken pad Thai and it came with a delicious egg roll and very authentic egg drop soup with mushrooms Rue very friendly waiter and cook! I cannot wait to come here again!

4 /5 Misty: Toodling around Denton for the day, we ended up finding this spot. Portions were exceptional. Flavor was exceptional. The service was average. But their AC was not cooling sufficiently which downgraded our experience a little. Parking was impeded by the construction on the street. Overall, Id go back and wed try the curry sampler! Our waitress told us it was enough for two. I had the green curry at a spice level 1 and it was just right. Everything was fresh and the rice was cute.

4 /5 KC: Excellent restaurant. Service was quick and friendly. We enjoyed the Massamun curry, drunken noodles, Thai salad rolls, and the sticky rice dessert. Give this place a try.

5 /5 Michelle Lamm - Faries: This quiet little gem has some really awesome food. Servers are there to help you get just the right food combinations you desire. Place is crowded, especially good for date night and theres always a seat. If you didnt get the right heat level, ask for more chilies:) Their peanut sauce is Dentons best!
