The Twisted Chopstick

The Write-Up

The full story

The Twisted Chopstick is DeLand's cozy, Godzilla-themed sushi stop on Woodland Boulevard, family-run and as relaxed as a second home. The Fire Tonkatsu ramen brings real heat, the Black Widow and Samurai rolls lead the sushi case, and starters like Dragon Balls and gyoza are built for sharing. Regulars call it the best sushi in town, and poke bowls and sushi burritos widen the order for mixed tastes.
