On Monday my mom spent the night at our house as a stop-over on her way to a meeting in Richmond. Nathan and I took her to a restaurant we have been wanting to personally try: Twisted Noodles.Our friends Michelle and Mark recommended it highly, and we once had take-out at their place and thought the food was delicious.
In addition, the restaurant was featured in a Bon Appetit article entitled "Best of the Year" in the January 2008 issue.
"If 99-cent ramen packages are the sum total of your experience with Asian noodles, it's time to reacquaint yourself with this dish. Throughout Asia, preparation of humble noodle is a fine art. And, fortunately for us, Asian-style noodle bars that put an emphasis on seasonal ingredients and smart design are opening stateside...
Durham, NC: You can't live on pulled pork alone, which is why locals are rejoicing over Twisted Noodles, a new casual spot that dishes up authentic home-style Thai dishes. Tom Yum chili-oil noodles have just the right kick, and drunken noodles with duck should keep the college crowd happy."
Initially we were unimpressed by the service, but once the food arrived we thoroughly enjoyed our drunken noodles (see picture of Nathan enjoying), yellow curry noodle soup, and veggie medley. The prices were really reasonable for what we got. We would definitely go back, but maybe order take-out.

Ahh--I should have warned you about the service. Did you happen to have the guy who pretends to understand english, but has no clue?! If you aim for dining-in around 6-6:30, the service is great before they get busy. But the food is always great!
