Twisted Noodles

Great Thai

by UNCgradstudent at Citysearch

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!

• Pros: Food, value, location and Flavor!
• Cons: Can be noisy, a bit difficult to find at first

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!

by cvious at Citysearch

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.

• Pros: Great food and variety, friendly service
• Cons: noisy when crowded
