Local tips
- Consider booking a table for Friday and Saturday evenings, when the ad libitum sushi option is especially popular and the restaurant can fill quickly.
- If you choose sushi ad libitum, order in smaller rounds so nothing goes to waste and you can adjust as you discover your favourite rolls and sticks.
- Ask to sit on an upper level or in a corner if you prefer a quieter atmosphere, as tables near the bar and entrance are generally more lively.
- Combine your meal with a stroll along Slotsgade or a visit to nearby Frederiksborg Castle to turn your restaurant visit into a fuller Hillerød outing.
- Check opening hours around holidays, as operating times can differ from the usual daily schedule even though the restaurant normally opens for both lunch and dinner.

Sushi Haven in the Heart of Slotsgade
Royal Taste sits on charming Slotsgade, one of Hillerød’s most characterful streets, pairing a central location with a distinctly Japanese focus. From the outside it looks like a contemporary neighbourhood restaurant, but step indoors and the space opens into a layered, informal dining room where clinking chopsticks and the quiet hum of conversation set the tone. This is very much a place to settle in, order broadly across the menu and linger. The concept leans heavily into sushi and Asian-inspired comfort food. Classic nigiri, sashimi and maki rolls are joined by playful house combinations, often topped with sauces, crunchy tempura flakes or fresh herbs. Alongside the sushi, you will find grilled skewers, crisp spring rolls and small warm dishes that round out a meal and make it easy to share across the table.All‑You‑Can‑Eat and À La Carte Feasting
A highlight here is the popular sushi ad libitum option. You mark your choices on a paper sheet and order in rounds, with plates arriving from the open kitchen as they are prepared. It is an easy way to taste widely, whether you gravitate towards salmon and tuna classics or want to sample tartar, rice paper rolls and vegetarian combinations without overthinking individual prices. If you prefer a more focused experience, the à la carte menu lets you build your own progression: perhaps a light miso or seaweed salad, followed by a mix of uramaki and hot sticks, and finishing with a few pieces of your favourite nigiri. Portions are generally generous, making it straightforward to share and tailor the amount to your appetite.Atmosphere Across Multiple Levels
The interior stretches over different floors, including basement and upper-level seating, so the mood can shift depending on where you sit. Closer to the entrance and bar, the vibe is livelier, with a clear view of staff moving between tables and kitchen. Deeper inside and on the upper levels, it becomes more intimate, well suited to couples or small groups wanting a quieter corner. Décor is modern and unpretentious: clean lines, dark tables, cushioned seating and warm lighting create a comfortable backdrop for the colourful sushi platters. Once the food arrives, the table becomes the real focal point, with vibrant rolls, neatly arranged sticks and small dipping bowls turning the setting into a visual feast.Who Royal Taste Suits Best
Royal Taste works particularly well for relaxed social meals: families introducing children to sushi, groups of friends making an evening of the ad libitum offering, or couples looking for an informal dinner after a day of sightseeing. The broad menu makes it easy to accommodate different tastes, from raw fish lovers to guests who prefer fully cooked dishes or vegetarian options. Its position on Slotsgade also makes it a convenient stop in a wider day out. You can fold it into a larger Hillerød itinerary, pairing a castle visit or lakeside walk with a lingering lunch, or using it as a cosy base for conversation on darker winter evenings when the street lights and restaurant windows glow.Planning Your Visit
Royal Taste operates daily from midday into the evening, with Friday and Saturday usually stretching a little later to suit longer dinners. Lunchtime tends to feel calmer and is well suited to smaller meals or quick sushi sets, while evenings, especially weekends, can be more animated as tables fill with groups opting for all‑you‑can‑eat. The restaurant’s price level sits in a moderate range by Danish standards, particularly good value if you take advantage of the ad libitum concept. With its central location, flexible menu and unfussy setting, Royal Taste offers a straightforward way to enjoy Japanese-inspired food in Hillerød without sacrificing atmosphere or convenience.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
