I found Hot Spots Eat Fresh after looking around for spots nearby that searched for General Tso's chicken. 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! read more

Hot Spots Eat Fresh - Orange chicken - Bubble Tea Near Me - Denton, Texas

Idk if ownership has changed or what, but this WAS my go to spot. I drove 45 mins out of my way to get dinner here. It was completely inedible today. Cold, sweet? (Wtf) the steamed rice was crunchy and the rangoon had to be a few days old. Another spot to scratch off the list. Don't waste your money, or your nights sleep from the potential food poisoning read more

I've ordered through uber eats frozen Hot Spots Eat Fresh. Honestly one of the main reasons I tried this 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. read more

This place was awful. We got the meal for 3 for $50 and it came with one small box of steamed rice. The food was off too. Everyone got sick. Orange chicken was super soggy, chicken in the chicken chow mein was rubbery. Will not be returning read more

Excellent dining experience! I cannot figure out what the naysayers are talking about. Hot, fresh and absolutely delicious. I will definitely be back.! read more

Pros, I like that I can swing through a drive thru for ramen after work. It is however 10 minute wait but you're given that information before paying. The staff is nice. I was not a fan of the pork but for going through a drive thru for ramen, it's a gem to have found this place. Definitely not the best ramen I've had but good, quick ramen! read more

Been going here every few months since they opened - - a few years. Can't recall ever being disappointed, although it is just Chinese-style food, so not my favorite. People are always polite, the portions are always a good size, and they email me a free-offer-with-purchase every couple months. Definitely recommended if this is your style of food. read more

The customer service was amazing and the drink was great but unfortunately I cannot say the same for the food and the ambiance. I could make better "wontons" which were dumplings btw.. and the ramen was so basic it tasted like a 12 year old made it. To top it off, I made friends with a cockroach in the dining room. I quickly paid and left after that. read more

Server is super sweet and the food always amazing. This time we got just the boba drinks. The smoothie and slushes are really good. Wait time a little slow but never been too bad. read more

Hot Spots Eat Fresh - Left- strawberry smoothie with lychee jelly Right- strawberry yogurt slush - Bubble Tea Near Me - Denton, Texas

The reviews got it right! I've been on the hunt for a good Chinese spot and this place did not disappoint. The pad Thai was good with a nice amount of spice and flavor. We ordered the pork fried rice. I would probably switch to chicken as I was not a fan of the pork bits but the rice itself was good. Lastly the sweet and sour chicken and the sauce was really good. I will definitely return again and suggest to others. read more

Great hidden gem! Opened up their dine in following Covid. The appetizers were very yummy. The food was super fresh. They have a drive thru as well. The manager/owner waited on us personally and was very responsive to any questions we had. read more

Let me start with saying we only get this food through Doordash. Have never been here in person. With that said, I love the food. Sushi is always fresh. Portion sizes always seem to be good. I should try it in peraon at some point. read more

The food was definitely not what we expected. The sweet and sour chicken was basically just small chicken strips with lots of fried rice and some sweet and sour sauce. No vegetables at all. The spring roll was awful, no taste and it was mushy. The meal was also over salted. It seems to me that the people that had good experiences here must have had a different cook than those of us that left dissatisfied. The lack of consistency is a good reason to skip this place. Would certainly not recommend and would not return there. We had better food at China Express than at this establishment. read more

We've been coming here for the last 3 years since moving to Denton. It's one of the best asian places we've been to as far as boba tea and Asian food goes. We ate inside a few months ago as they finally opened up inside dining, and it's so nice to finally sit down and eat. We never mind the long line waiting because we know it's worth it. Pretty great selection of food and beverage options. Prices and portions are also great for your buck. read more

Amazing food! Absolutely delicious and I will be visiting often. We ordered the beef and broccoli, sweet and sour chicken and the house special lo mein. It was all fresh and delicious! read more

It had been 2 years since my last delivery - and now I'm left wondering how long I've been missing out. My usual place is in FloMo but my hubby wanted some regular Chinese food. Their menu certainly has been updated and I love that you can add comments after your selections. We settled on veggie egg rolls, crab rangoon, shrimp lo mein, spicy handmade wontons and combination (beef, chicken, shrimp) garlic sauce with steamed rice. I don't like my food swimming in sauce so I asked for the garlic sauce on the side. DoorDash was quick but accidentally delivered to my neighbor's porch so I scooped it up. It was all in one bag and you could tell sauce was everywhere so I put it all in the sink. Sure enough, my sauce container had cracked and leaked! I normally don't like thick wrapped egg rolls but I was hungry so down the hatch - not bad if you like that style. I dipped mine in the spicy wonton sauce. I don't eat rangoon but my hubby liked them. The lo mein was ok. The stars were the wontons and my sauce-less combo stir fried with yummy veggies. The veggies were perfectly crisp and not overcooked. I ended up dumping some of the wonton sauce on mine. Very nice! I can't wait to try their crispy tofu appetizer! Now that I know the trick to order sauce on the side, I am looking forward to getting more. Bonus, I had enough left for 2 more meals! Not the lo mein though, I harvested what shrimp was left in that to add to my stuff. They also have some Japanese entrees and ramen too! So. What are you waiting for? Life is too short for boring food! read more

Great fried rice and friendly staff. They gave us a free appetizer on the house. Very attentive service.

I ordered delivery of a beef teriyaki and dumpling soup. The food was decent. I like how they cooked the onion in the teriyaki sauce to soften it. The crunchy add on for the dumpling soup also helped enhance the flavor because I like crunchiness. read more

Hidden gem! Although location and ambience is average, service and food is great! I tried ramen, dumplings soup, curry, appetizers, boba, and most of them are 4/5! I really like the dumpling soup and appetizers! They taste fresh! I like the entrees too because they tasted homemade not artificial. The drinks are a little pricey for using powder and fruit sweeteners. If they added real fruit, maybe frozen? that would up the taste and worth the cost. Otherwise price should be lowered since it just powder and ice. Service is great and food consistently good but if the employees all wear uniform, I think it will leave a great, more professional impression and attract more regular customers. read more

Great food, but ambiance is a bit odd. Not a big deal though, since I always get it to go. For that, it's great!

I enjoyed this place. I ordered the Shrimp Fried Rice and Steamed Dumplings. Everything was hot and fresh. The Shrimp was a really good size and more than enough. Will def come back. read more

Very friendly employees. Ultra week & watered down tea. If you come here from DFW, you may be disappointed. It's incredibly watery & tastes like nothing. I called back to ask if they happen to use instant tea powder & they did offer to remake the drink but we were already driving away. It's pretty common expectation that you make the tea very strong to make up for the ice. Classic with 50% sugar in the picture here. read more

This place used to be great and was a regular. Got sick on their egg rolls once and still went back. Ordered chicken fried rice and had less than 1/4 cup of chicken and egg and mostly rice on dinner size. Their quality of food has gone down hill greatly and not sure I will ever be back. read more

The business name confuses me. Like I don't know what the heck I'm eating. It's Chinese. And let me tell you it's amazing. I called to make an order and the person I spoke to despite having a thick Chinese accent was easy to under and and understood me and was just really really nice. He read everything back once I ordered. I ordered several thing including fried rice, orange chicken, and Mongolian beef. Yes some chicken rag rolls and crab rangoons for the family. They also have a drive thru to pick it up. The food is really good and yes like the name says it's fresh and you can taste it. This is no greasy buffet generic Chinese food. For example the egg rolls are tasty but they weren't greasy. I mean there is no grease getting all over your fingers despite being fried. The rangoons are almost sweet tasting but those were one of the best things I ate. The rice portion is huge. You can definitely share it. Orange chicken and the Mongolian beef were also great. It's really hard to find good Chinese food that not fast food or buffet. This place is great and definitely a place I recommend if you want quality Chinese food. Totally worthy of 5 stars. read more

This place is a GEM! I'm so glad we decided to give it a try tonight! The fried dumplings were delicious, the Mongolian Beef/shrimp was some of the best I have ever had. Hubby got jalapeño chicken and he said it was delicious and very spicy. My husband rarely says anything is spicy so I know it must be off the charts. He loved it. The server was absolutely sweet and very attentive. We are so excited to have this awesome place close by. Can't recommend it enough! read more

This is my new favorite shop to get my weekly cravings for some quick Chinese food. The potstickers are some of the best in the fast food arena, their eggrolls are delicious and their veggie fried spring rolls have a good balance of veggie and seasonings. The crab rangoon is different from what I'm used to and a little on the sweet side. My favorite main dishes from them are the dumpling soup, beef broccoli and my boyfriend loves their combo fried rice. read more

It looks like just drive through but if you pull into the back, you can oark and eat inside. We had the General Tsos and the Mushroom with pork. We also ordered the Chicken Karaage appetizer. The chicken was light and crispy. The Mushroom pork came with a ton of mushrooms and some snow peas and carrots that were cooked perfectly both with were both crisp and fresh. The General Tsos had a light batter and the sauce was very flavorful. The gentleman from the back asked if everything was ok as I still had a lot left on my plate. There was just so much food that even though I had eaten a third of it - it still looked like a lot. We definitely will be back. read more

I live in Ponder so the service didn't need to be fast. I ordered takeout. There are 2 reasons I gave them 3 stars. First of all the food was great but the price was too expensive for how much food you got. The serving size for each plater was really small.I spent $50 for 3 items and luckily I was the only one eating because there wouldn't have been enough food for another person. read more

The food is actually pretty good. The prices however are way too much for a place you can drive thru to order. That's just my opinion. The CHICKEN KARAAGE reminds me of the dry fried ribs my husband introduced me too from California. Service could be better. I didn't find them very friendly. read more

This was my first time coming here and immediately when I walked in I noticed how clean it was. We were sat at our table within seconds. Our waitress was a very sweet lady that provided us with great service, she got our orders and food very swiftly. Now the food was delicious! We started with egg rolls and dumplings- they were so good I didn't even get to take a picture! Then we got our entrees which were the hot spots tower and the sesame chicken (sesame chicken pictured in back). These were both delicious. We also got a matcha pineapple smoothie & a mango pineapple smoothie with popping mango boba and we both enjoyed those a lot also. Will definitely be going back to try more items!!!! read more

I would like to start this review by saying the family that runs this place is extremely nice and I genuinely hope they are successful with their business. I would also like to say that I have limited experience with boba, but I really like theirs. I've avoided it for the longest time because I'm a texture person, and when I finally tried it elsewhere it was awful. They had such a huge selection of milk teas and smoothies though, that I gave it a shot here and I'm glad I did. Both times I ordered a small matcha milk tea ($3.99) and then added boba ($0.50). Both times I got a consistent and delicious product and the boba was sweet and lightly chewy. I also got my husband a pineapple coconut orange (I'm serious about there being a ton of flavors) smoothie and he loved it! However, the food has been inconsistent. The first time, I went with a friend during their soft open. They didn't have what I wanted to order, so I got the tonkatsu curry combo for $7.99. It was a good portion for a fair price. I tasted my friends order of short ribs and it was very flavorful and yummy! My dish was okay, but it just didn't work cohesively for me and I couldn't put my finger on exactly why. The curry smelled and tasted as I would expect, I'm not sure why I didn't feel it went with the tonkatsu, maybe it was because the tonkatsu was a little overcooked. I held off on a review though, because I knew they were going to continue to change their menu and I really wanted to like this place because of the sweet family and the matcha milk tea. About two months later I came back. This time he got what I had tried and I went with the crispy chicken with curry. Neither curry tasted quite the same as before and the vegetables were undercooked and unappetizing. The tonkatsu appeared to be cooked correctly but I didn't try it. The chicken wasn't really crispy, it was tempura battered dark meat and was kind of meh. We did get an appetizer of 4 crab rangoon which were pretty good. They were folded a little differently so a couple of places were heavy on the wrapping, but the flavor was very nice. Whereas the meals are a good portion for the price, I did think the crab Rangoon was high for the quantity at nearly $5. Again, I decided to wait for continuing menu changes before making up my mind. They told me they were adding more Chinese items to appeal to more people, so I waited for the additions and ordered delivery. I went with the beef fried rice combo which is $11.99 and includes a soda. The container was very full. I got the crab rangoon again, but they were really thick and tasted different. The beef was nothing like I've ever had in a fried rice before. It was so...soft. I'm not positive if it was undercooked or just cooked way differently. The rice was cooked well, it was veggie heavy but the beef had me confused. I didn't finish it. The drinks are great, the owners are good people and it's possible these inconsistencies are related to the struggle to finalize the menu. However, I have to be honest that the food needs some work and needs to be consistent for me to keep coming back. read more

Really good boba! I'm used to the ones in Richardson and have found it difficult to find decent boba up north, but this place has hands down the best boba yet. Customer service was also very friendly. The location itself is a bit off putting. There's a lot of over grown grass and it looks dilapidated. It's also just drive through only. The red bean slush was strange in that it's white not red. It didn't taste like anything. The green apple slush was a hard core jolly rancher flavor. Super sweet, but you get used to it. Lo mein was very greasy and not the best. Fried pot stickers were alright. The food was still piping hot even after a 30 minute drive home and you get a ton of it. read more

This is the best chinese food I've ever had in Denton. I'm not originally from TX, but it reminds me of chinese back home. I ordered food when my aunt was visiting from out of town and she agreed. My mom also agrees and she drives 30 min to get her fix. I like my fried rice with lots of egg, I was initially taken by surprise bu the price of extra egg (let's be honest, I can 2 dozen eggs for the price) but when I opened the box and the entire top of the rice was covered with egg, I was sold!! Honorable mention: Shake shake chicken Mama-san sushi roll Thai milk with boba read more

Drove by this place on my way to downtown Denton and decided to check it out! I love that it has a drive through!! However, we just decided to go in. We went around 7:00 on a Friday night and it was empty. Maybe because they just opened a few months ago? Or maybe because it's located in a random place? Not sure. My friends and I had already eaten dinner by then so we only ordered drinks. I went with a jasmine milk tea with boba and my friend went with a matcha milk tea with boba. The drinks were great! The tea taste in both were really strong and weren't too sweet either. The boba tasted fresh and was a good consistency. They have a huge variety in flavors for drinks and smoothies and have a decent variety in foods as well. I'm not in Denton often, but this is a great place for drinks (can't say for the food though because I haven't tried). read more

We ordered delivery and it took an hour for the delivery to be ready. Food was not fresh although it was hot.

All of our dishes were extremely salty. The Mongolian Chicken was inedible. The Ramen was not much better. Even the sesame chicken was too salty. I am not afraid of seasoned food, but this is gross. Of course we didn't find out till we were already home for the night. When I called up there to tell them they said they would replace it but I had to come up the same night to do so. Being that we were already all at the house and in for the night I just decided that I just wouldn't to hear anymore. Hopefully others have a better experience read more
