Royal YUM - Cute rice. Salmon curry! - Thai Near Me - Denton, Texas

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) read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

If I win the lottery, I want a personal chef trained on these recipes! I've tried every curry and I can't choose a favorite: and they don't make you choose, offering a curry trio that lasts me at least a second meal. Great appetizers: crab rangoons and salad rolls with tofu are favorites and a cup of tom kha is always a great way to start. Clean facilities and super polite service. This is my favorite Thai on the north side of Denton. read more

I recently ordered Royal Yum for delivery and it was good. I got the drunken noodles with a side of egg rolls and everything was hot and good when it arrived. Great food for a takeout night at home!! read more

Food was good! We ordered takeout. It did take a while but the restaurant was busy when we went. They were very kind. The only thing that was off putting was the flies- they kept coming in from the front and it was a little much. Food was great though! read more

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. read more

Thai food is always on the top of our list when considering food, this place was recommended during our visit in Denton. They have a wide variety of dishes, but I opted for the curry sampler (red, green, and panang) and the Beijing duck. I really enjoyed having multiple curries to try, however there wasn't much distinct differences besides having different veggies and meat. The duck was decent, I've definitely had better but it was crunchy and well sauced. The indoor decor was nice but a bit cluttered, and the service was meh, they were busy but they lacked the staff to handle the service. We often times had to wave to get their attention to get water refilled or get our check to pay out. read more

Tom yum soup - solid 9/10 If I didn't order more food I would've ordered a side of Jasmin rice to eat with it! It was delicious! Pad see ew - 8/10 the flavor was amazing! You could tell that wok was on fire! Thai fried rice 10/10 I hardly give a 10 but this was the taste I was looking for! My kind of fried rice! The plating, the portion, the taste just immaculate! The crispy basil!!!!! I couldn't stop eating it! Loved this dish! Even showed it to my foodie friends! Laotian papaya salad - 8/10 restaurant style. If this was made at home we would've rated it a 6. But we understand it had to be catered to all taste buds. This was as authentic you could get from a Thai restaurant. The papaya was shredded crispy and crunchy! There were long beans and eggplants and crab! WOW we walked in with low expectations but walked out so happy! We definitely will be back when we are in town! Thank you for the great experience! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Very tasty, enjoyed chicken dish, I recommend going lighter on heat. I like heat but not too, I asked for 3/5 heat and it was a bit too Much for me. Enjoyed dish but will definitely take the heat down next time. Service was ok, not super responsive. Overall we liked it. read more

First visit to this hole in the wall little nice restaurant. Atmosphere was perfect and the service was excellent! Our server was very sweet and nice. Price is actually good.

We were looking for something a little different and came in on a Friday afternoon! Very good Thai food with an extensive menu.. my hubby had a severe nut allergy so it's not a cuisine we've tried before. After sharing this information with our wait person, she led us down the adventure! We started with crab Rangoon and bang bang shrimp and a couple of Thai beers. My hubby got shrimp chow mein level 3 spicy and I got Bejing Duck level 5 spicy. The appetizers hit the table and we were off! The Rangoon were good and I normally don't care for all that cream cheese. You could tell they were freshly made. The bang bang shrimp were also tasty covered in a sweet sauce. Truthfully, I was full after that and then the entrees hit! My duck was sliced and battered in a dark sauce surrounded by broccoli and other vegetables. I chose fried rice as my side and I got a small spring roll that I didn't even touch! The complimentary soup was also great! Sort of like egg drop but better and fresh! I ended up wrapping my duck in lettuce leaves and dipping them in the sauce. My hubby's chow mein was soft, you can get crispy. He liked it and would ask for half crispy next time to add some texture. Neither dish was very spicy and I found all the sauces to be a little sweet. However, all dishes were good. Next time, I think I'd try the beef salad, lard gai (minced chicken) or a salmon dish. I'd also try more Thai appetizers instead of the Rangoon. It satisfied our craving for something different. Go there, get some! Life is too short for boring food! read more

Again, I can not recommend this place enough. Excellent service and outstanding food. See you again soon, my friends! read more

Best thai food in Denton!! Ying and her team are the best! Love the drunken noodle and the raspberry mango macaroon.

Good lunch spot. Lovely decor, parking surrounds the building and it's easy to get to. Food is 3-4 stars in flavor. I asked for a 4/5 heat and it was not spicy AT ALL but flavor was good . The lunch menu was nice, you get a soup or salad with your meal, I chose the salad, which was about four bites worth, very small. Drink refills were hard to get, I had to ask several times. Sodas are brought by the bottle with a glass of ice. I land closer to 3 stars for so-so service and no heat food prep but going to round up since the flavors are still good with plenty of seating. Would recommend more lettuce for the starter salad and staff training on replenishing drinks. read more

Excellent Asian food with very helpful and courteous staff. Meal was delicious and very flavorful. A comfortable place to dine.

What a yummy restaurant. It takes after its name for sure. I enjoy the food here very much. We ordered a bit of everything to try but our favorite is the bang bang shrimp. So much flavor that just burst in your mouth with a nice crunch and kick to it. Be careful with the spice level because it can be very spicy in some dish. Service was ok. Food was good so I'd definitely come back when I'm in the mood for Thai food. read more

I noticed Royal YUM a couple of weeks ago, while running errands in Denton. Of course I checked Yelp, because I love Thai. It had a very high score, so when I scheduled lunch with a friend the next week, I suggested Royal YUM. It was a perfect place to meet for lunch. It was quiet, so we could have a nice conversation. Service was great. We both got the Pad Thai with Chicken and spice level 4. She had the soup and I had the salad. We both loved our meals. It also came with an egg roll. Even though it was a lunch portion, we had to take home almost half of our meals. So, we were able to enjoy the meal twice. I also had Thai Tea, which was perfect. I look forward to taking other friends and going with my husband. The Comedy Nights are something I am planning to go to. Sorry no photos. My friend and I had a lot of catching up to do. read more

The chicken drunken noodles and shrimp pad Thai were absolutely delicious! Best Thai food I have had in a long time.

The food & service were top notch. We had the gyoza, tofu veggie lover & pad Thai, all were really good. We also had the matcha & Thai tea, my husband enjoyed both. read more

Food is ok. Pad See Ew had mild flavor and chicken breast meat that was dry. Tom Yum noodle soup was presented nicely. Broth was very vinegary with 3 mild tasting fish balls. Crab Rangoon was recommended as a favorite and it was fairly good. Overall an average place for Thai. Service was attentive and helpful. Silverware and cups could use more quality cleaning. Large dining area had spread out tables for large or small groups. There was a low buzz of conversations, and good for a comfortable dining. Easy going music hummed over the central speaker sitting on a fireplace mantle. read more

Heading to watch a Mean Green basketball game, spun the wheel of Yelp and here we are. The host had the personality of a shoe and our server wasn't much friendlier. A different server brought out our food and definitely had more personality than the other two. A lady who I assume is the owner came over and checked on us too. I ordered the iced Thai tea and it was perfectly done. We started with the crab rangoon and it was melt in your mouth tasty. I had the pineapple fried rice and it was served in a pineapple! What a great idea as presentation goes a long way. Boo had the drunken noodles with chicken and he finished every bit of it. Although the host watched us leave, he never said good bye. read more

An update to my previous review. Went to have dinner with friends and all got different entrees but also shared a few orders of crab Rangoons. We all wound up with severe food poisoning. Attempts to contact the restaurant did not go anywhere. Two of my friends had to go to the ER for dehydration and pain. It was really bad. We won't go back. read more

The restaurant offers a casually inviting atmosphere with a subtle Thai touch. While the ambiance is pleasant, the service could use a bit of improvement in terms of being more personable and knowledgeable. Upon being seated I presented the server my Yelp offer, at which time she said that wouldn't honor. It was evident the server was unaware of the Yelp marketing. A more senior server later apologized and informed me that they would honor the Yelp offer,The menu offered a variety that truly capture the richness of Thai cuisine. They use whole milk instead of the traditional condensed milk for the Thai tea tea. The result is a more watered down version with a less sweet flavor profile - definitely not worth the $4.99 price point. It might not be for everyone, especially if you're a fan of the classic sweetness. The Thai combination fried rice is decent but falls short of being exceptional. While the mix of flavors is satisfactory, the dish lacks that extra punch that sets it apart. The portion size is generous .It's a decent option if you're in the mood for basic Thai fried rice, but not the standout dish you might hope for. The Thai pad see ew was much more flavorful than the rice. The flat noodles are perfectly cooked, and the balance of sweet and savory in the sauce is spot-on. The addition of fresh broccoli adds a delightful crunch. The portion size was also generous, and overall quality and taste make it a worthwhile choice. Overall, a decent spot for a relaxed meal with a hint of Thai charm. read more
