    The Twisted Chopstick has quickly become one of our favorites! The food is fresh, artfully presented and always delicious. It's rare that they had a food misstep. The menu is fairly extensive, offering sushi, ramen, bento boxes and more. The servers are attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu offerings. Housed in an old home on the edge of downtown DeLand, the restaurant has vintage charm, allowing the food to take center stage. They offer a selection of bottled beer as well as beer on tap, wine, and soft drinks. There is seating outside overlooking an oriental inspired garden with subdued lighting, perfect for a romantic meal on a balmy evening. If you are looking for a low key delightful meal, you must dine at The Twisted Chopstick. As a side note, The Twisted Chopstick has consistently high ratings from the health department.

    Went yesterday for early dinner. Very nice and cozy place with indoor and outdoor seatingI would say they could use a little more lighting but overall was pleased with atmosphere. They were out of some items on menu but that didn't stop us from ordering. We had kids ramen, edamame, spring rolls, my husband had a spicy tuna bowl and I had a fire ramen with pork. I can say that it wasn't as spicy as I'd like it to be but I can also eat very spicy food like it's nothing so maybe its just me everything was full of flavor and tasted really good. I also had a green tea boba and it was delicious. Very polite staff and good prices. Thank you

    Chef made some custom spicy tuna crispy rice for us!

    Everything was absolutely fabulous and Chef Jess slayed the omakase rolls. Service was on point and it felt cozy and chic. I highly recommend sitting at the sushi counter for an intimate space watching all the sushi made.

    The food was absolutely delicious. The dragon ball was absolutely delicious. The ramen I had was honestly not bad . The pork literally melted in my mouth . It was nice in light . I wish the noodles were a bit thicker, but it was still delicious . Sadly I didn't get to try out the Taro Boba tea , but I had the vanilla one to go and it was honestly pretty good . There wasn't a lot of parking space so me and my man parked at the salon next to the place . The building is so pretty. Even though it's a small building I was surprised on how pretty it was. The temperature was 65 degrees and it felt so nice after bowling . The service was good too . The lady recommended some good sushi for us , but I sadly forgot to take a picture of it to show yelp . I'll make sure to make another review next time I go . Highly recommend going .

    The atmosphere, the food, the service was all a 10/10! Jasmine was our waitress and she was so sweet and very efficient. We had the sweet Thai chili edamame, several rolls, and the ramen. I highly recommend The Twisted Chopstick.

    Awesome!! Charming restaurant in an old house, we sat inside in the AC and were very comfortable, there was also the option of outdoor deck seating. What we ordered: Korean BBQ Roll, Volcano Roll, Vegetable Tempura Roll, Indie Roll, Fire Ramen, Shrimp Tempura Roll, and Macha Cheesecake, Boba tea. It was truly excellent, portions were just right and every bite was delicious! We wanted a little something sweet and Nathaniel recommended the macha cheesecake! Man, was he spot on. It was the perfect ending! Great food, great service, relaxing atmosphere! We will be back!

    I moved from Los Angeles and miss the amount of sushi and ramen restaurants that surrounded me. I wandered into this little cozy house and discovered such a peaceful unique sushi joint awaiting me. I don't understand how this place isn't packed because the food quality was on point!! We started off with an appetizer of the Ahi Nachos and, oh my, was it super tasty. The crunch of the chips coupled with the fresh Ahi tuna is a crowd pleaser. I ordered the Samurai roll per the waitresses recommendation. The roll was amazing and had pickled jalapeños on top which added another layer of flavor. Of course we added some sake to our dinner. We have three little ones at home and finally had a date night. This resturant had us out of there in 35 minutes and we honestly didn't feel rushed, that's how great our service was. We had enough time to hit up some batting cages and miniature golf on the way home. Thank you for giving us a wonderful date night!

    Food is delicious! Never disappointed with the food, service and atmosphere.  Great little restaurant to have a date night.

    Great restaurant! Enjoy the food everytime. Awesome place to have a date night. Service is always great.

    Angela P.

    I'm ready to try everything on this menu! I was super excited to try this place as it has been on my list for a little since I just moved here. I'm gonna start very basic by just getting the vanilla boba. It had great flavor and the boba balls were chewy just like they should be. For dinner I got the pork broth ramen. It was awesome! Tons of flavor the pork was so tender and I ordered corn for $2. Overall the meal was super filling and I was very full when I left. For both of these items I paid $20 which isn't a bad price as I've been to other places where the bowl alone was $15+ and then add the extra toppings. Our waitress was great, she had some great recommendations. My friend was not a pork eater but she also wanted to try this version so they allowed her to sub the pork for mushrooms and that looked amazing too!

    I see the miso ramen is vegetarian. What is in it that makes it vegetarian but not vegan? Looking for some vegan ramen.

    I would assume that it's because it comes with the hard boiled egg in it by default. You can probably ask for it without. They were definitely accommodating about a lot of things, and were a little helpful on the phone; you might just call and ask.

It…read morewas the Sunday after Thanksgiving and I was dropping off my daughter after a great holiday with the family. We marched into the restaurant shortly before three. The server looked at with a smile and slight confusion. We realized they were not yet open! I felt like a dunce. We offered to come back. She made sure we were comfortable, provided several laughs, and advised that the chef was preparing. The ambiance was so inviting and the overall vibe was great so waiting was not even a concern. We started with the wings. Oh my! They were out of this world. I can only assume (because I didn't ask) that they were soy garlic, and oh so yummy. Extremely tender and moist, with more flavor than any wing should have. My Daughter ordered the chilli oil noodles. They were a medium spice packed with flavor. My finance ordered hot and spicy noodles that didn't hold back. They were as described with the perfect about of heat. She'd felt they would have benefited from a bit of sweetness, but were delicious. I thought they were great. I ordered the mongoose Dan Dan noodles. They were also delicious. The noodles themselves were the star I feel. They had the perfect amount of bounce giving an authenticity I didn't expect. I tried all three dishes and my favorite was the hot and spicy noodles but my daughter gave her leftovers to her boyfriend! I was offended but I survived. We shared a slice of pistachio cake that was truly special. The server told us it was amazing but we didn't expect it to be that good. It was super moist, not overly sweet, and was nothing less than perfect. Totally unexpected. This is a true gem.

    Please note that the menu changes daily. We waited a while for the food. So be prepared. We sat in…read morethe back dining area and it was super hot. The food was good the hot and spicy noodles had a better flavor and the steak in it was good. The pork belly had bones which was a first. They forgot our appetizer and it was too hot to try the dessert. I would go back but not until it is cold outside.

When you come in, it's more of a take out with tables for people that want eat in, I think about 8-9 in total, butting right up to the door for maximum capacity, but good furniture, really nice. The decor is pleasing and appropriate for the food genre. We were dining in so we got a menu and stepped aside so people behind could go. We both ordered spicy ramen, Miso chicken soup and the Korean soup, with seafood (mussels, shrimp and baby scallops). We also had the Crab Rangoon appetizer. The food came relatively quickly but it was fresh, you can tell. The operation is well done. First, the appetizer seemed like it was made to order, hot and very tasty. . Dipped in duck sauce and wow . Loved it. The ramen was also very delicious. My grandson loved his miso and my Korean style. It was a very big bowl of food so with a growing young man to help with mine, we were able to almost finish it all. Delicious. The reason for the 4 stars, really 4.5 but that's not available, is one of the shrimp in my bowl wasn't deveined and that is so unappealing to me. As far as I could see the others were and they were excellent in texture and taste, but it is what it is. I will definitely return and I didn't talk about the Boba teas which were both very delicious. You can't go wrong, give them a try.

Service was great throughout my visit, and the staff were attentive. The Susuru Gohan was fantastic and definitely my favorite dish of the night. It comes with a soy-cured organic raw egg yolk, sweet aged soy, onion, Japanese seasoning, and steamed rice. I added both uni and ikura, and everything paired really well together. I would absolutely order this again! Their drinks and cocktail menu is very extensive and I chose the Ultraman drink, which was great. It's made with Haku vodka, lime juice, cinnamon chai syrup, grenadine, cran-apple, and ginger beer, topped with a dehydrated apple and normally a limited mini Ultraman toy. They were out of the toy when I went, so they offered a $2 discount, which I didn't mind at all. For yakitori, I tried the Hiza Nankotsu (knee cartilage). Their skewers are prepared in-house and grilled over Japanese binchōtan charcoal, then finished with aged tare and served with Susuru citrus salt. The knee cartilage was good and had a nice crunchy texture. I also tried the Mi-So-Hot ramen which comes with pork chashu, a shoyu soft-boiled egg, corn, scallions, chili hair, and spicy miso broth. It was just okay for me. There wasn't anything particularly wrong with it, but nothing really stood out either. With so many other options on the menu, I probably wouldn't order it again. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience at Susuru! The attentive service made solo dining at the bar comfortable, and the Susuru Gohan was easily the highlight of my meal. I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu.

    Food was mid and absolutely not worth the wait. I came on a Saturday night at 8pm and was told…read morethere would be an hour wait. I fell asleep waiting in my car after an hour goes by and went inside to check because I saw empty tables from the outside and had heard from the hostess. I told her that I had been waiting for over an hour and she said that there was about 4 parties in front of me. I went back outside to wait for less than 5 min and she called me in saying the table had cancelled so my table is now available. That was already a red flag - she totally forgot about me!!! After being seated, the waiter took literally 15min to even come acknowledge us because he was too busy talking to his friends at the next table. Tonkotsu black ramen - 3/5 (not flavorful) Miso-hot ramen - 3/5 (bland and not creamy) Tan tan men ramen - 3/5 (the flavors were there but the noodles were super soggy) Tempura king oyster mushroom - 2/5 (bland, thick and hard to chew. they should've cut it into thinner pieces) Karaage - 3/5 (flavorful but chucks were too big and had too much batter) Inner thighs yakitori - 5/5
