Royal YUM 801 Sunset St, Denton Thai • $$
801 Sunset St, Denton

“Such a diamond in the rough. A bland exterior gives way to a spacious, colorful interior with plenty of tables and seating. Atmosphere is casual, but romantic for those who love a hole in the wall, local eatery. Love the food - the Thai salad roll with tofu and peanut sauce is a must, as is the Thai coffee and Thai tea. If you're looking for warm and comforting try the yellow curry! Denton has a ton of great Thai options, and this is one of the best.Vegetarian options: Great vegetarian options, tofu substitute for proteins in most dishes.”

Pepitas Vegan Taqueria 1115 W Hickory St Suite113, Denton Vegan • $$
1115 W Hickory St Suite113, Denton

“Had this place twice via DoorDash.. we are new to the area and the state of Texas and they surely don’t have vegan restaurants like this back home.. Ive never even been able to enjoy the birria taco trend yet. the first time I tried the mix and match taco platter to see which oneI liked most.. the verdict? The Birria tacos of course. The rice and beans were yummy but the star food the show hands down was the tres leches cake. It is TO DIE FOR. This place is well worth the money in my opinion and will be ordering here frequently.”

“I was recommended this place by a co-worker.All I can say is it’s truly an outstanding experience.I have had sushi from many places, most okay, some good, fewer great one and this one honestly has been the best yet.James and his son Jason along with the other staff are warm and welcoming. James gave me sushi recommendations based off what I enjoy.The cucumber lemonade made in house is wonderful. Until you make a klutz mistake and waste it all by spilling all over yourself like I did. I was furious at my clumsiness because I wasted a fair portion of it.They even refilled my glass after cleaning the mess I MADE!I will be coming back as often as I can when I make it back to Denton. This will be my number one stop.”

“Nice intimate place with great atmosphere. I had the beef souvlaki which was very very good, and then I took a bite of my wife's chicken kabob and was completely blown away by the perfectly cooked and wonderfully spiced chicken! I have not had chicken that was as tasty as this, ever. It was not till we were leaving that I learned from the owner that she and her husband had operated this restaurant for 30 years in the same location. That is just amazing and I cannot recommend this restaurant more highly!”

So we drove from Euless on Saturday 3/16/2024 in the morning around 10.30 and decided to eat off the brunch menu (French toast and Quinoa) and both very delicious and give you a lot for the money, also, had wonderful muffin that Tahila made aka Ms T.

You have to try it’s delicious! We also got the korrokke which is like a Japanese style fried potato with a delicious sauce! The korrokke and heart attack roll are the best appetizers on the menu in my opinion!The atmosphere is also very fun and well decorated! This is a very fun and unique restaurant with delicious food!

“It's a little hole in the wall. You have to have a reservation and you better prep yourself. Cozy sushi bar area seating around 10. They have a small table in a separate room and a small bartop. The food is prepared by the owner in front of you if you choose sushi. He apparently trained under an Italian for a while and the tiramasu is to die for ( both the normal and the green tea). We chose to have the chefs choice for our meal and it was chosen well!!! The food is priced a little high but you get what you pay for. If you leave there unsatisfied, I would say you intended to. 5 out of 5. I just wish I could find another reservation this year!”

My sisters and I shared so many different ones which was a great way to try more of the great flavors on the menu.The Rosemary Maple Bourbon Smash or the China Doll (may not be on the menu, so just ask for it) were my two favorites. The Whiskey Smash was a little too sour/tart for my liking but still made with love! The dude had WONDERFUL coffee flavor as expected with coffee liqueur made in house!Definitely worth a stop if in the area. Would be a regular bar for me if I lived here!”

“Brought my family of 12 in yesterday for my son's birthday. I did make a reservation originally for 10 of us. But since it was 2 more added we had to wait around 60 min. Appetizers came out kind of quick. Half of them was cold half was steaming hot. It took us around an 1 hr n 20 min to receive our food. We figured since it took so long we would receive it hot and fresh. Nope every last one of our orders was ice cold with no heat. I ordered my steak well done it came out medium well. I wasn't to happy overall with how long we had to wait for a spot to fit 2 others. And how our food came out. We paid a decent amount there for that to have happened to us. I can say the best thing was the rolls.”

“Grilled chicken sandwich was VERY large. Ordered without mayonnaise, avocado, and swiss cheese. So it came with bacon, and kitchen forgot the lettuce & tomato, which server got immediately. I asked for more later because this was like TWO sandwiches, dang. Double honey mustard on the side, so good. Runner warned me fries were hot (yep), and they were no seasoning, just like I requested. It was Chili's's (haha) birthday, so I had a discount frozen margarita. Y'all. It was... light and fresh like a spring morning or something. Like something from a TV commercial. I know! It wasn't as sour and bitter as most are. It was sweet and smooth and so good, frozen no salt, extra lime, just like I ordered. I thought very good amount of alcohol, not too much.I asked for a manager and told him everything was great, especially my server -- I think he said her name's Reagan?Five stars.Oh, Google asked about "atmosphere," and I can only give 4 stars because it was so loud. But I forgot about it after a while. Definitely bearable.”

From the very beginning, Ana Maria was extremely communicative and helpful, answering all of my questions and ensuring that I had everything I needed to make my order perfect. She knew which flavors/colors to recommend based on the decor palette and overall flavor preferences I gave her.On the day of my wedding, Ana Maria delivered the macarons right on time and left me a sweet note, which was such a thoughtful touch. But the best part? The macarons were absolutely delicious! Even 10 days later, after returning from my honeymoon, I was still enjoying the leftovers!Overall, I would highly recommend Le Macaron to anyone looking for high-quality, delicious macarons, backed by excellent customer service. Thank you so much, Ana Maria, for helping make our wedding day extra sweet!”

“Absolutely the best bar. I go there a couple hours early before my movie every week. The bartender is incredible, nice, and the absolute most creative person I met. He makes his own menu that is not done at any other Alamo and knocks it out the park every time. No, you think I mean cocktails you see other places. No I mean he makes cocktails special for the movie, as in both taste and name specific for that movie and they're incredible. He even sets the bar up, dresses up, and puts on music for movies that come out.I don't know how the hell the bar has such a low rating, but he deserves a bonus and the bartender deserves a Michelin star.No karaoke. Stop asking. There's a little stage I think, but I couldn't be happier there's not karaoke.”
