Twisted Noodles Chapel Hill — Restaurant in Chapel Hill

the 1 star is for the very kind server and quick service. she was great. my dad got the coconut noodle soup and i got the pad kee mao. the coconut soup was sickly sweet and had barely any chicken or vegetables. it was genuinely as sweet as drinking a milkshake. like piña colada sweet. my dad is pre-diabetic and simply couldn't stomach eating anything other than the chicken. the pad kee mao (drunken noodles) was okay. the chicken and broccoli were fine but sparse and the chicken was a bit dry. the noodles were also sickly sweet, i imagine from sucking up all of the sauce. speaking of the sauce, it was sparse, too sweet, and had no spice/kick to it at all. i didn't want anything too spicy, so i thought the one chili pepper would indicate something relatively spicy. it had no spice at all. we realized our fatal mistake might have been ordering items marked as "popular dishes," which seems to be secret code for "americanized." we assumed the sweetness is to cater to american tastes. my dad says he has eaten thai food a million times and never had something quite so sweet. i would not recommend this place to anyone who is diabetic, dislikes sugar, or wants authentic thai food. i must emphasize that our server was great and we felt too bad to comment on the food or send anything back. she was...

Well that was a lovely surprise! I needed a new place for lunch today after some surgery follow-up testing and my usual favorite place it was closed. Thai food being one of my favorites I looked up a few local spots and initially thought this was a more fast food oriented Thai place because of some of the pictures, while the food looked absolutely amazing. Curiosity won out and I'm so glad it did!

This felt like a little modern slice of Thailand itself. Would paneling on the walls with plants and natural furniture, natural lighting, dishes served in stone plates and bowls and gentle, soothing musical tones. I had the place almost all to myself which was lovely, but wouldn't have minded a crowd because the service was excellent and the dishes wonderful. I had the papaya salad, an old favorite, and a plate of Thai Basil stir fry with chicken.

The salad had all the flavors you expect, and wonderfully portioned. The vegetables and chicken were piping hot not over seasoned or over sauced, and my waiter was just as attentive and kind as though I had a whole table of people with me. Wonderful...

After messing up my order a couple months ago I spoke to a nice woman at Twisted Noodles who said she would write my name down to receive a credit the next time I came in. Yesterday, I tried to use my credit and spoke to Boubabar Barry- who was sure to spell his name out for me when things got tense between us. Boubabar clearly has never seen the film, " Give 'Em The Pickle," because he began quizzing me about who I talked to on the phone last time, even asking if the woman I had spoke to had a strong accent! Come on, Boubabar, let's make a connection! I live about three minutes away, don't you want me to come back? Maybe with my friends? You don't want me going a mile down the way to another Thai restaurant, right? Give me the $10 dish on the house and allow me to spend an additional $35 for the rest of my family. Do yourself a favor and watch this video. I think you will learn a lot and your customers may keep...
