I almost didn't want to review this place to keep it hidden but as the best Tai food in Denver they deserve the recognition! When you think hole in the wall with authentic tasty delicious food this place can be described as no other. Very clean and the service is eager to please and satisfy! I love Tai food and was looking for my place as Denver food can be tricky. Not even Guy fieros rated tai restaurant comes close to the flavors and freshness this place has to offer. If you want good tai food for a great price I'm here to tell you this is the place! read more

So I was surprised by the interior of this place because the outside makes the space seem small but its actually pretty big and inviting. It feels very homey. The food was mostly good. I love tea leaf salad and theirs has become my favorite. It's fresh and crunchy without too much bitterness and is a great item to share. My husband got the fish curry and this wasn't a favorite of mine, the fish was very briney and smelly. He doesn't mind that but it was not to my tastes. The Burmese dish I ordered on the other hand was great! The noddles were chewy and the cruncy pieces of garlic were super addictive. Mandalay Nann Gyi Thoke (Burma Spaghetti) is what its called and I'd order it again. The service is where it fell flat, the man who served us didn't seem to like that I asked questions and we were often left with empty water glasses and had to ask several times. It wasn't enough to deter me from coming back however. I haven't tried the thai food here do I can't speak on that but the burmese food is pretty delicious. read more

Sweet local Thai & Burmese spot with the friendliest team! I always try Panang Curry first at any new Thai restaurant to the gauge authenticity flavors and theirs was spot on. Perfect amount of veg to protein ratio and a beautifully creamy Panang sauce. Their Thai Iced Tea was delicious as well. I'll be back the next time I'm headed to Anschutz campus! read more

I got the massaman curry with chicken for takeout. I can't speak to the service or ambiance as I did takeout. The curry was very flavorful and the chicken was tender. The potatoes and other veggies in the curry made it more hearty and filling. I got it mild and it had a slight bite to it, but more simply flavor. Prices were very reasonable and I look forward to trying other dishes. The interesting thing was that the rice container came half full. I would have expected the rice container to have been filled and it appeared half eaten. read more

I ordered delivery through DoorDash so can't comment on the location. Food was ready when promised and I ordered pad see ew with beef. Lots of beef and good flavors. I also go the Thai chicken wings. They were okay. Good crisp to the outside but a bit small. I did not love the spring rolls. I didn't expect the noodles inside to be like pad Thai noodle thickness and it was very full and shrimp were small. My fiancé enjoyed is fried rice. read more

In town visiting family and wanting to try something new and delicious and my sister in law mentioned Royal Taw Win for lunch and told me how good the food was so off we went. What a treat to visit this establishment, very clean and fresh inside with the help friendly and helpful. Checked on us several times to make sure we were happy. The menu offers Thai dishes which all looked amazing but I never had Burmese food so I wanted to try something new. So we all ordered something different and sampled each other's dishes. Starting with the Samosas filled with vegetables and a sweet/spicy dipping sauce-very good! Then the Pad Tai served with shrimp and also very good. We then moved onto the Tom Yum Soup with seafood, great broth with a citrus flavor combined with a tomato base combined with various fish, mussels and some vegetables. Great flavor with a slight kick. We then moved onto the Nan Gyi Tao which is a noodle dish with choices of a protein which I decided to go with chicken, it reminded me of a Udon noodle and delizioso with a medium kick. Our server explained the levels of "kick" and choices on our dishes. We finished with a sweet dish to end our culinary journey and went with the Mango Sticky Rice which was a perfect closure for this amazing lunch. Our portions were good sized and reasonably priced. The menu has many dishes and options so this will encourage me to visit them again to explore more deliciousness at Taw Win. Well done to all of the staff from the servers to the chef. If you are in the Denver area and want a good Pad Tai dish or curry dish then this is your destination. Bravissimo Royal Tae Win I will see you again SOON! read more

We visited Royal Taw Win in the spring of last year based on its reviews. It seems that our experience was not entirely consistent with the other reviews. The restaurant has two sections. We sat towards the back closer to the kitchen. The serving staff was very friendly. We got several items including the crab fried rice, pad see ew, appetizer, and a green curry. Most of the food was fine, but nothing really outstanding. IMO, the crab fried rice was not well prepared. The rice was overly wet and clumpy. Based on other reviews I read, maybe the chef was having an off night? It would take some convincing to have me try the restaurant again. read more

Pretty good food.... A good balance of spicy and savory for me, which made me happy.

The food and the ambiance at Taw Win was excellent! I say this as someone who's Burmese - the food is not only authentic but it is also immaculately prepared. I went to lunch here with a group of Burmese friends and we ordered the whole menu. Particular recommendations include: 1) Nan gyi thoke (they use the thicker cut noodles which work the best for the dishes flavor profile - we ordered another one after we finished), 2) mohinga soup, 3) la pet thoke - very well made tea leaf salad with a balance of spice and flavor, and 4) for dessert, some falooda read more

Taw Win has delicious Burmese food! I've been here twice already. The tea leaf salad is always a classic burmese shareable item, I love all the nuts and dried shrimp that it comes with. It has a unique flavor from the fermented tea leaves. It goes well with a side of white rice or on its own. We got the rakhine mohinga, which was a different style than I was used to. The flavor profile is more based around black pepper. My preference is the classic style mohinga. The bean paratha is a great appetizer to share that's cut into smaller pieces. On a previous visit we had the whole fried tilapia which was was really good and comes with a sweet/spicy sauce. If I had a bigger appetite I would also order the nan gyi thoke (chicken curry noodle salad). I recommend saving room for dessert and trying the Burmese milkshake (falooda). It's a rose flavored drink with vanilla ice cream. There are various jellies and nuts that are fun to chew. Perfect for a hot day. Service staff are very friendly and our party of 4 was able to be seated right away. The dining area is cozy like you're eating inside someone's house. Parking is easy since there is a parking lot. They also have a Burmese grocery right next door. All the dishes can be adjusted for spice level preference. Definitely recommend if you want to try burmese food! read more

Fried rice is best we have ever had. Prompt and helpful service. Good variety and value.

This is my go-to spot whenever I'm in town! I always come for the Burmese food, but they have a great selection of Thai dishes too. The Burmese food is absolutely delicious--easily one of my favourites in the US. The food was incredibly authentic, and they even had the one dish I've been craving for decades--Rakhine mohinga--which I haven't been able to find anywhere else in the US. The go to dishes for me here are chicken curry, tea leaf salad, mohinga, rakhine mohinga, and pae palatha. If you like sweet things, try the Burmese tea and also the Faluda. It's such a cute spot with lovely decor, and the staff were so kind and helpful, making the experience even better. There are lots of parking spots too. read more

Seriously some of the best pad Thai ever! And big portions for the price. Highly recommend

Already reviewed!Food great, waitress sweet...local and down home food! This was restaurant owned by Ma Kiang...will still support them because food is good, local business, and sweet staff! read more

I've had several great experiences and their food has always been great but sadly, this time it was not very good. The Tea Leaf salad I love wasn't the same at all and the Pad Thai was not very good. I'm not sure if they changed chefs or what. I hope this was an isolated incident because I really like supporting a small business and they're so nice but based on this very "off " visit, I'd be hesitant to go back. read more

The food is really good. The service and ambiance is perfect. Highly recommend going!

Burmese good is SO hard to come by, and I am so excited to have another option here in Denver. The menu is divided into Thai and Burmese choices. We tried the samosa, the paratha, the beef Burmese curry and the goat Burmese curry, and the Burmese milk shake. Everything was super interesting and multi layered in flavor. I think the paratha was my favorite item- they offered it with beans, egg, or chicken. I went with the beans, and you know it's authentic when you ask what kind of beans were in it and the server doesn't know how to say it in English and has to show you the bag (it's yellow peas by the way, and they were awesome). The goat curry had bones in it, which was unexpected but not a deal breaker. Love the curry sauce, although the meat was a little chewier than I was expecting. The milkshake wasn't as sweet as I thought it would be, which was better in a way. Like a less sweet strawberry quick with peanuts in it. The restaurant put a lot of effort into trying to make the interior look nice when the building itself is a little run down- I appreciate the authentic touches and photos that are scattered throughout the dining room. Overall, an excellent meal. Thanks so much! read more

Taw Win is a charming, authentic restaurant a bit off the beaten path, but well worth the trip. I had waited to write this review until I felt like I had a good breadth of experience, (having started with delivery and then the Thai offerings), and honestly the last trip I had was just so thoroughly enjoyable I thought about it for days. I went with some friends and we were able to order a wonderful assortment of the Burmese dishes, including the Bean Paratha, Tea Leaf Salad, Mohinga, Beef Curry and Nan Gyi Tho. We joked that we had so much food that we needed a separate table, and our server actually brought us a little side table to help with the spread! I was so impressed with the attentiveness throughout. (I had felt sheepish about wanting to divvy the soup four ways, but they didn't bat an eye and brought us the necessary bowls and spoons--and I'm grateful for that as the Mohinga was such a soul satisfying dish). I would probably order a different protein than beef for the curry next time (personal preference) but everything was really exceptional. The Tea Leaf salad was a textural taste explosion in particular. I can't wait for my next trip and to try a few new items as well! Oh and it's worth noting, this epic feast did not set us back either; the prices were super reasonable, and there was plenty to go around. read more

If you haven't tried Burmese food, you HAVE to try it, and you have to have it here!! Taw Win would be 6 stars if it was possible for me to give that many. The food is AMAZING. To give some context, my partner is Burmese, and we are always looking for Burmese food because there simply aren't enough restaurants! I've had Burmese food in California, the Chicago suburbs-ish, and now Denver. This place is fantastic, and they don't hold back on the flavor. Tea leaf salad: A must order. Make note that the menu is divided into Thai and Burmese dishes, and the tea leaf salad is in the Thai section. I couldn't find it on the menu so asked the friendly person who took our order, and they said it's in the wrong section which is why we couldn't find it! This salad was a traditional Burmese salad, with cabbage, tomato, fermented tea leaves, and all the crispy crunchies! It's a flavor and texture bomb and you get the tangy and the savory in every bite. Paratha stuffed with chicken: I've had paratha but never like this! It is puff pastry, that is often in a medium tortilla shape, eaten with savory dishes like curry, or even on its own. I've never had it stuffed like this in this square pocket shape. The curry chicken inside was still steaming when it came to our table. They cut it into pieces, so it was easy to divide amongst the three of us, and each bite was savory curry and spicy goodness. I'm drooling thinking about it. Now for the main dishes! Mohinga: This catfish soup was true to it's ingredients and tasted very much like delicious catfish! Love that the garnishes were on the side, and the fried chickpeas were the perfect crunch. Don't forget to squeeze some lime on top of your soup and garnishes, as it cuts through the savoriness for a nice balance of citrus flavor and brightness. There is powdered spice already on the table, and I recommend adding it to the mohinga for that extra kick and flavor. So good! Fish curry: This was such a nice surprise! I didn't know what to expect but it was also a flavor bomb. It's more of a thick curry sauce rather than a curry that is like soup (like in Thai food), so you can expect concentrated flavor. The fish came in medium sized chunks, as it was fried and chopped into pieces. Bones are still in them so just be aware of them so you don't eat them. It came with rice so we didn't have to order extra. All this was plenty of food for three of us and there was a little left of each entree that we took home. I really recommend trying lots of dishes. Service was phenomenal. The person who took our order and brought the food had such a kind and gentle demeanor about him. Something about him made us think he was one of the chefs or owner but we didn't ask. He brought the food with a smile and checked in on us a few times. He also brought small plates/bowls with every dish so that we could eat family style. And we didn't even have to ask! So kind. This place is a quiet restaurant in an unassuming area. It's very spacious inside and clean. A door or two down from the restaurant there is a small grocery with the same name. We didn't get to check it out but next time I visit I hope to! Maybe they have some Burmese ingredients :) 6/5 stars. Please check it out! I'll be back when I visit Denver again. read more

Best Thai food I've had in Denver. Affordable as well. Will definitely be ordering again.

Great food and authentic cooking !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The price is perfect and the staff is so nice. Whenever I pick up takeout they always give me some mint tea while I wait. I have never had the burmese food though, just Thai. read more

The Ono Kaw Swe was delicious, the coconut milk flavored gravy is marvelous, lots of ginger and the perfect spice, very tasty with the egg noodles. The chicken curry was delicious as well. Great takeout, but will eat-in soon. The dining room is clean and simple, it's nicer inside than outside. I'm trying the Mohinga next time. read more

Very delicious, ordered the Yosemite Pad Thai, Papaya Salad, Ono Kaw Swe, Samosa (Veg), and Fried Tilapia. My favorites were the Ono Kaw Swe (flavors even better day 2), tilapia, and samosa. The papaya salad was delicious but my favorite is still the classic tea leaf. Pad Thai was great. read more

While there are more Thai joints in town than we need, there's a paucity of Burmese choices. However, places like Taw Win make a strong case for quality over quantity. Their menu features items from both cultures (plus much of Asia) and we sampled some of each. We pulled in 15 minutes after ordering and our dinner was ready as promised. The lady at the register had a welcoming smile and kind demeanor, even going ahead of me to hold the door as I left. The place was clean & spacious yet cozy. The whole experience seemed out of place in today's tense times. Back home and ravenous, we dug into our bag of goodies. After unpacking our order, there was one extra item. What's in this white bag?" We found a complimentary (and delicious!) crab Rangoon. We chose Thai iced teas over the diverse pan-Asian appetizer choices, but this gift was a win-win! Burmese curry gives me writer's block every time. The flavor doesn't remind me of Thai or Indian curry at all, yet curry it is. The Burmese curry beef consisted of large chunks of well-seasoned, tender beef in that ineffable sauce. I'd get this again in a heartbeat. Pad Thai may be a pedestrian choice, but Taw Win's version was so good that we ate with no remorse. Noodles that aren't dry or stuck together along with tasty chicken chunks reminded us that this dish can be made well. Our Thai iced teas were solid, not watered down, and packed with care for the trip home. My first impression of this place couldn't be better. Warm, welcoming service, reasonable prices, great quality, sizable portions, and an intangible feeling of being treated with the respect due family made Taw Win a winner in my book. read more

I got there pretty late from my flight from Michigan. Every thai restaurants that i searched were closed and luckily I found this hidden gem. The food was so amazing and Nan Gyi Tho was my fav. Although Red curry tasted a bit spicy for me, it was very tasty with the rice. I enjoyed the pad ka paung very much as well. I am trying Tea leaf salad next time. read more

Today my family and I went this family point to try burmese food. I was surprised to see their clean and beautiful decoration inside. At first, we were going to try Burmese food but we tried also thai foods as the friendly server recommended us. To be honest, inside and outside design are very different. My parents have tried here a lot as they really miss their asia cuisine. I cant wait to go back to try other mouthwatering foods. On top of that, their background music made our dining experience perfect. Thanks Taw Win family. read more

Absolutely delicious food! The tea leaf salad is a symphony of different flavors and textures- tangy, nutty, sweet and spicy. The goat curry was fall-off-the-bone tender and the gravy is a rich stew, the Burmese fried noodles are fresh and chock full of meat (we did chicken) and bean sprouts. We ordered everything at medium spice, it had a lingering heat but didn't overpower the flavor. Absolutely overjoyed to find this restaurant and can't wait to try everything on the menu! read more

The food is so good and the ambiance is charming. The staff are very attentive and kind. I very much enjoyed the goat curry. It's tucked back and I had some concerns about the neighborhood (I don't usually care, but this is a rough area) but once inside you are transported to a lovely adorable restaurant. The man behind us was a total blowhard going on and on that he thought the portions were too small. I was barely able to finish my goat- portions were pretty big. The waiters handled this inappropriate customer with tact and good cheer, and ensured the rest of the diners were not bothered by this boor. They followed lunch with a tea service! As we checked out a gentleman told us if we liked the curry goat and chicken we should try the fish, so we'll be back. If I had any complaints it's that they seemed reluctant to trust us on the level of spiciness of the food. We will convince them we can take some heat! I'd rather have under spicy then over spicy anyway, you can always go up! read more

We ordered a lot of different dishes so that we'd have leftovers, it's now 4 days later and we're finally eating the last of them. The portions at Taw Win are very generous and aren't just piles of noodles or rice but actual veggies & protein. Here's what we got: -- Tea Leaf Salad- very interesting taste & textures, unique dish, large portion -- Dumplings- really tasty but easily available at other places -- Chicken Paratha- not as flavorful as expected, could use a dipping sauce -- Pineapple Fried Rice (Tofu)- Not as "fried" as most, huge portion and delicious reheated with some of the curry sauce -- Red Curry (Tofu)- Mild flavor, great as leftover -- Pad Woon Sen? (Chicken)- Not sure of exact name since it's not listed on online menu. The glass noodles were so yummy and the pieces of chicken were moist & delicious. -- Mango Sticky Rice- owner gave this to us for free and it was phenomenal! The black rice, coconut sauce and perfect mango half all came together deliciously... our tastebuds will be remembering this dessert for a long time. This is the first restaurant we've been to in a long time that we felt the prices were reasonable ($74 for all that), especially for the quality and quantity. Even though everything was super tasty the true star of this place is the awesome owner and his family (including his very energetic grandson). They were so sweet as they brought out dish after dish, we felt right at home and definitely plan to return anytime we're in Denver. read more

Really great service, loved the tea leaf salad but all dishes were good! Owner was very kind and gave us recommendations.

Yum! My mouth ate faster than my phone this time because takeout from Taw Win was just that good. Ordered online and received pleasant, quick service upon pick up. We tried several curries, fried rice, the dumplings, chicken satay, pad thai, and pad see ew. Yum!! For takeout, way more attention was paid to presentation than is typical--each dish was lovingly ensconced in foil and dressed with delicious herbs and crunchy elements, and several dishes came with peanuts or delicious sauce on the side. I *highly* recommend takeout here as the value for the flavor and uniqueness is unparalleled! This food is prepared and served with care. I also want to come back for lunch soon! The fried fish looked divine but was nervous it wouldn't keep well for take out. Overall, the restaurant was clean and cute and I would love to dine in next time! read more
