Food was excellent but the sake was bland without flavors...I loved the sushi and bentos but the karaagi needs improvement and the waitresses need to try the food before serving and suggestions to the clients...this place is definitely a red flag hot spot for visiting from out of town and friendly gathering place for both townies and tourists alike! Please try the high roller and flying lotus roll, both are excellent choices...love the ramen! They also have airbnb...if you love japanese cuisine you would love it here, please bring your friends, family, and business associates and colleagues to this place for it is a hidden gem of DeLand...I think we need to try the yakisobas and gyozi and other exotic dishes on the menu...do try them all! You must try the house special with the twisted chopstick...I hope you would visit here often like we do! Their seafood is good for you so try all the dishes in the menu... read more

Ordered from The Twisted Chopstick via DoorDash for a group and overall, really solid experience. Our order included shrimp tempura rolls, a Korean BBQ roll, miso ramen (vegetarian), shoyu (soy), and tonkotsu, and it was a full spread. Everything arrived in good condition, which is always a win with delivery. I personally had the shrimp tempura roll and the shoyu ramen. The tempura roll was excellent, crispy, fresh, and didn't get soggy during delivery (which feels like a small miracle). The shoyu was also really flavorful with a rich, savory broth that definitely hit the spot. Everyone in the group seemed happy with their picks, and the variety made it easy to find something for different tastes. Overall, a reliable delivery option when you're craving sushi and ramen without leaving the house. Would order again. read more

Super cute place and great food! It did get pretty busy so it was a little slower but overall really good food and nice servers. The food was fresh, and the ramen was hot (not spicy, however that fire ramen is veryyy spicy). I also had the taro boba which was very yummy. read more

I went back to get the burrito and there's definitely a major disconnect I've noticed. The first time I went there waitress told me the sushi burrito had same items as the poke bowl. The second time the waitress said it did not. I asked her multiple times what it came with or what items it had. Even what veggies are on it. She wouldn't answer. She only said it doesn't come with same items as the poke bowl. I'm not sure why I'm getting inconsistent answers for a menu item or why they refused to answer. Menu doesn't show it if it's not the same as the poke bowl. Either way regardless of what it does or doesn't have it says it comes with eel sauce which it definitely didn't have the first time. The last visit was definitely off putting for me with how the waitress was acting. The menu doesn't say it either. I'm definitely going to skip getting the burrito from here on out if I go back. I'd order the ramen again and I tried one of the sushi rolls were good. The sushi roll was a 4 out of 5 and the miso ramen was 3.5 out of 5. Recommend both. read more

We came here for my husband's birthday. The food was good and there was a nice selection of menu items. Accessibility was a bit of an issue with the parking situation and the steep stairs. My mother-in-law has to use a walker, and it had been raining, so there was a massive mud puddle at the base of the ramp that was too thick for her to go through. We ended up having to brave the sketchy stairs. I'd recommend they add gravel or some pavers and build up that area so people can use the ramp in all types of weather. read more

Food is excellent. Classic techniques are used with an innovative approach to the cuisine- the restaurant is well named. Service is great, and attentive. The ambience is cute "old house " / historical style as one would expect from the road. It's worth sitting at the bar to see the Chef work his magic. Ask him about his experience abroad. Very professional and personable. Highly recommend! read more

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 read more

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. read more

Really like the ambiance. It shows pride of their place. Service was nice and efficient. Came by during our meal to see if all was ok. It was. The sushi I order was so good. It's been a long time I had some very good and tasty sushi. I think it was called rainbow roll. read more

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. read more

A+ service from very lovely and extremely tentative server named Irina. She provided really great experience! As an out of town or here it was lovley to enjoy the festival with my Gr8 Aunt Roberta and our friend Marcus; even more lovely was the warm heart of our lovely server, Irina. I was a little disappointed that there was not a cherry blossom role on the menu, but that's OK. I understand that this is a fusion type restaurant. Very happy with the salad and dressing absolutely yummy. The spring rolls were good as well and a lovely glass of Merlot. read more

Everything I've ever ordered from here has been pretty good. Except for the pork ramen I ordered the other night on DoorDash!! And that's the reason for my 3 Star review. The broth tasted of nothing but GREASE. Just old nasty pork grease. Idk if fatty pork had been sitting in the broth all day but it was inedible and turned my stomach...... I had to throw it away. Luckily DoorDash gave me credit to order dinner someplace else. Like I said I've never had an issue with anything else I've ever ordered from here. So maybe it was an off night. read more

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. read more

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 . read more

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! read more

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! read more

Fishy salmon and tuna. Rolls were so bad we couldn't finish more than 2 bites. I've had LOTS of sushi in my lifetime & I've never experienced something quite like this. Was also super expensive so not worth it to us. read more

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! read more

The Twisted Chopstick - Tonkotsu (Pork Broth) Ramen Vanilla Boba - Sushi Bars Near Me - Deland, Florida

Overall I'd say it's about 4 stars. The restaurant is in a converted house and has a fun factor. It's got tables in various rooms and it is pretty cool. I'd give that about 5 stars. The food itself is just okay, and I might give it 3.5 stars. Not that the sushi was bad or the bowls weren't good. Just that they weren't great. And it's far enough off the highway that you have to drive to it, so it's just marginally worth it for the food itself. But I'm not sorry we went. We did enjoy the overall experience. Service was a little uneven. At first, they kind of forgot about us, but in part that may be our fault because it turns out we sat at the wrong table - they pointed to an area and said to pick a table, but didn't mean that one in particular. Wasn't great. But wasn't bad by any stretch. read more

Hiring a sushi chef but the food is still great. A sign greets you when you enter, now hiring sushi chef, but I didn't have to worry, the sushi was still great. The gyoza is yummy too. If the weather is nice, be sure to eat on the outdoor deck. Enjoy yourself here! read more

This cute place is in one of DeLand's historic house/buildings. It has outdoor seating, indoor seating and pickup. Recently I picked up an order for my hubby and I. He ordered the Spicy Tuna Rolls & Big Bang Rolls. He said they had a lot of meat and was overall impressed with them. I personally think they have the best Bento Box! You can get your CHOICE OF KOREAN BBQ, TERIYAKI CHICKEN, OR TOFU. It includes: Rice, Ginger Salad, Half Cali Roll, Veggie Spring Roll, Edamame, Sweet Chili Sauce & Tempura Sweet Potato Fries. Everything is delicious!!! Will I go back? Most definitely! I want to take my work crew and friends there for lunch. read more

We have been dying to come here for months. Finally, while passing through, we decided to come in and try it. Upon entering, we were not greeted. As a matter of fact, the hostess completely ignored us. When we finally caught her attention she had the audacity to ask us if we have been helped yet. She saw us walk in and was 1 foot away from us for 5-10 mins. So finally she told us to just sit where ever. So we did. We got to the table. It took a while to get someone over to take our order. When they finally came over, I ordered drinks and wanted to go ahead and get my appetizer in, but was told they are only getting drinks right now. Okay. That's fine. So we got our drinks quickly, luckily. But it took a bit to get my appetizer. It was pretty good. We got the volcano roll and it tasted fishy, even though it's just crab, and it was also rubbery and hard. The ramen was good. I'm not sure we will return unfortunately. However, the prices were very reasonable. read more

What can I say? Chef Jeoffrey Curtis has made an Asian Oasis in a classic American House. Walk up to the porch, Step into the living room where the friendly and attentive staff take you directly to a table in the house or onto their shaded patio with a water feature and a buncha Koi Fish! (You know they are just dragons in training right Jeoff? Don't overfeed them!) Much thanks to Chef Curtis and his wonderful staff. Service was great and I cannot say enough about the plates Chef prepared for me on my two visits in one week. (Business traveler, but when I find that SPOT...) The fish was wonderfully fresh and beautifully prepared. (Shoulda taken more pictures) From the miso starter, to the perfect rice under fresh delicious fish served at just the right temp, I could not have asked for a better Japanese cuisine experience. Thank you Chef Curtis and Staff! P.S: I wasn't kidding about the Koi Chef... Be afraid, be very afraid... read more

Great restaurant located in a historic house in downtown DeLand. There is parking in front, rear, and across the street. Dining can be inside or out on their back deck. The menu and portions are both large. Not only was the food delicious, but the staff was also very friendly. Our waitress took the time to explain menu items to my children and me without ever getting exasperated. She humored my 10-year-old when she asked for the candle to be lit, or for another taste of the "fish cake". As a mom, sometimes going out to restaurants can make you anxious when you have little ones... especially one who loves to talk and a 3-year-old who loves to make messes. We had a wonderful night full of good food, laughter, and great conversations. Core memory unlocked! Thank you. read more

Sweet potato tempura fries with honey wasabi sauce, vegetable gyoza, Tornado roll and Double Philly Roll, tofu bento box, vegetable tempura roll. Prices were.a bit high in comparison to other sushi restaurants we frequent. Overall love the converted house and kind staff read more

We stopped in for dinner tonight, we haven't been to Twisted since they were in their last location, and probably won't be back for a while. The service was extremely slow, we actually had to search for our waitress a few times. Even to order appetizers, sake, we had ti search for her, bowls for our soy sauce, hey where's our waitress, rolls, do you know where our waitress is, and so on. Then she tells us it will be a longer than normal wait to sushi because the chef is slow tonight, why change things now. When we got our rolls they were maybe ok. I don't think this is our place, we won't be back or recommend it. read more

Ramen tonkatsu is absolutely incredible i eat here about 2-3 times a week, highly recommend!

I am addicted to the Tonkatsu Ramen from Twisted Chopstick! The broth is rich, always hot, and so tasty.
