Twisted Noodles
Great Thai. Noodles truly are where they excel. Pad Thai, Panang Curry, Pineapple Fried Rice, Drunken Noodles, and Pad See Eww are all wonderful. I must admit the Tom Kha was too spicy for my taste and it was also difficult to eat with so many lemon grass chunks and lime leaves floating in it. Biting into a chunk of lemon grass is not exactly soothing. But but but ... everything else is always good and up to par. Food comes quickly and steaming hot. Seriously, I can't stop eating there!…
Excellent Thai food. Not everything at Twisted Noodle is great tasting, but it is by far one of the best and most reliable standard Thai food around. Friendly servers are willing to hustle and accommodate large groups and special requests. This is one local restaurant that deserves to survive this horrible economy.…
The thai food we were missing!. After moving from a larger city with more authentic Thai food, we were disappointed by the overly sweet and flavorless Thai we found in Durham. That is until Twisted Noodles! This place is fabulous, and has dishes to please both those who always order Pad Thai and the more adventurous. They will make their summer rolls vegetarian on request, so all can enjoy this fabulous fresh appetizer. I love all their currys, and the drunken noodle is great and unique dish. The desserts are great and I've been known to order a small meal so I know I'll have room for it. They will also serve a whole coconut with the top cut off as a drink. They handle take-out orders very well too. Like other reviewers, I too now have to avoid the Friday night crowds that have developed here, and miss the empty restaurant but am glad it's taken off.…
Very good food for the value. I have been to this restaurant many times and all of my friends love the food!! Their food is very good and inexpensive. Highly recommended for a casual outing with friends or co-workers.
I love this restaurant, BUT their service is very inconsistent..
My fiance' and I eat at this restaurant frequently. We love their food...it's very authentic and they have a large, varied menu. The atmosphere is cozy, even when the restaurant is packed. We are
very glad this restaurant is here, since we feel that the triangle needs more tasty, ethnic food. Unfortunately, I have ONE BIG BONE to pick with them. Their service at night is TERRIBLE. I'm saying this from experience, because I waited tables for three years in an upscale restaurant and worked in a kitchen for one year. Whenever we go for lunch, the service is fine (I'm guessing because they weren't busy). It is very obvious that they have no sectioning patterns or host....it is complete chaos. I don't go at night with any kind of time constraint, because service can be very slow. We recently went and waited 45 minutes for our appetizers:( Our waiter apologized numerous times, but after a while it became annoying. To the owner's? (not sure who helped us) credit, they did give us 1/2 off our meal at my fiance's suggestion.
I'm not writing this to be ugly...my main purpose is to call attention to a problem that needs to be addressed. We're afraid if service like that continues, it is going to hurt their business. We will definitely go back (at lunch) , but we're afraid other people won't be so nice.…
