    Laab Moo
    Hannah W.

    This delicious food "truck" is located at Leona. I got the Laab Moo which was delicious and very spicy. Perfect to clear out your sinuses and a good size portion, so I had enough for leftovers. There's tons of seating in the area for food, but it also comes in ready to go packaging which is great. The staff were also super nice and ensured I knew how spicy my dish was going to be which I appreciate. We also shared some pickle salad which I would HIGHLY recommend. Perfect for a summer bite on a patio.

    I would definitely have the Thai Fried Chicken again Really love the atmosphere and seating arrangement

    Fermented papaya salad
    Ellie N.

    Price is up and it's justified. They moved from the previous food truck park to this plaza and it's nicer. Green curry: so flavorful Fermented papaya salad: hands down the best you can find in austin. Very authentic. They didn't tune down a bit for the American market. Stirred fried tofu: very good, nothing outstanding like the papaya salad though

    3.5/5 for the pad ka-pow and 5/5 for pork skewers (moo-ping) and fried chicken. I thought the pad ka pow was missing a little sweetness so it was lacking that umami flavor. The dish was fragrant though. I would definitely get their pork skewers again. They were tender, sweet and savory. The fried chicken tasted like a Thai version of Taiwanese popcorn chicken. I love where this place is located (inside a beautiful botanical garden) with a cafe and another taco spot. It is dog friendly as well and the cafe also has fans outdoor. It felt very nice during and after the sunset!

    We have loved Dee Dee's forever - this new location is awesome! Easy to order - online or QR code when arrived- food comes out quickly!! The moo ping skewers are top tier!! The best ever The pad kaprow and papaya salad are also our favorites to order First time trying the dumplings - delicious as well! Fried chicken was good but not my personal favorite There is plenty of outdoor seating / bar inside to order cocktails / beer and lots of restrooms Dog friendly too!! Parking lot can get full but right in front of business! Great outdoor spot to hang out and chill with friends and family

    Dumplings
    Stephanie M.

    I was so excited to try out Dee Dee's at Leona. I had heard how great and authentic their food is. Also I just love their story of how they came to be and the labor and love they put into their dishes. Also jackpot on location at Leona! For 3 of us we shared... PadKaPow $17 Extra Side of Chili Fish Sauce 75 cents Roasted Chicken with Sticky Rice $17 Pork Dumplings $10 Everything was beyond flavorful and scrumptious. I would order it all again! The dumplings were my favorite. The sauce it comes with and crispies are so freaking good!!! Can't wait to come back and try more menu items!

    Pad ka Pow
    Prothit H.

    Dee Dee is now located in a gorgeous third place where there are other bites available and a coffee/drinks place. A perfect spot to catch up with friends and also to be productive! Our favorite dish was the Pad Ka Pow, which was flavorful and delicious. I loved all the components of the dish and it went well with the rice. The Thai fried chicken was also delicious! I loved the sauce that it came with. Perfect amount of spice! The dumplings were the only miss, which I felt could be more flavorful, but were decent. Overall highly recommend the food especially for the value and the space it is located in.

    Mango sticky rice and roasted chicken

    I ordered takeout and had the sticky mango rice and roasted chicken. INCREDIBLE. I old highly highly recommend

    It was a disappointing experience in Dee Dee. The location itself is gorgeous. They have a beautiful garden area that has river and is surrounded by other food trucks. It looks very nice at night. I have ordered pad kapow which costs $17. My egg was 50% overcooked and on the smaller side. The pork was dry and a bit bland. It was also unevenly seasoned with salt. Jasmine rice and what I believe is basil tasted quite good though, but the whole dish itself was incredibly dry. We arrived an hour before closing on Friday night and there was no line, food was ready in like 5 minutes. Service could have been warmer too.

    Tofu Stir-fry
    Lianna T.

    o Definitively some of the best Thai food in Austin (from someone who very much likes Thai food). The setting is above and beyond lovely, despite the parking as everyone says. Once you order at the window, the food was ready relatively quickly. We ordered a variety of items, including the papaya salad and each of us were very happy with our mains of Tofu Stir-fry, Roasted Chicken in Thai Marinade, and Street Noodles. The flavors are very tasty, and the food seems to be high quality. I am looking forward to returning to try their other dishes.

    Checked out Dee Dee at their new Leona location and was super happy with the quality of the food! If you like spice, there are a ton of options to add a lot of thai eye chili peppers. Aside from that the salads are incredibly fresh and tasty and the tofu stir fry is very flavorful

    Dee Dee's new location is on Brodie at Leona Cafe, it's a stunning setting! They are now open for lunch and dinner. We ordered online ahead of arriving in case there was a wait but it ended up not taking very long fortunately. The parking at leona is pretty limited so I would come during an off hour. The food is good. I enjoyed the pad kaprow and the fried chicken as well as the dessert. They do have more of a limited menu during lunch hours, so I will need to come back during dinner to try more of their items.

    I can't believe I've never written a review for Dee Dee! They now have a physical location in the really cute park that just opened with Leona's and Veracruz. I really enjoyed Dee Dee when they were just a food truck. They have really good and authentic Thai food, and they have a even larger menu now! I thoroughly enjoyed their KaProw and pork dumplings. I also vaguely remember loving their Thai Tea at their food truck, but I didn't see it on their menu at this location.

    Are any of the menu items gluten allergy friendly?

    Yes

    Are they using Thai holy basil for their pad kra pow? It tastes great but curious what basil they are using.

    Is theirnew location kid friendly?

    For sure. It's outdoor with picnic tables.

    Where's the phone number?

    They don't have one. They don't take phone orders or answer the phone. You just have to go there.

    I ordered over the phone, which was an easy and quick process. They said it would be ready in 20…read moremin and it was. The restaurant itself has a lot of indoor and outdoor seating, as well as a bar. It seems like a nice place to have a meal. As for the food, we ordered: Pad thai with chicken, mild spice - unfortunately this was a bit dry for me, though the taste was good. Pad see ew with chicken - I liked their version and would probably get it again. Pad woon sen with pork - typically my favorite noodle dish and I think they did a good job. Garden roll - good but not as packed as others I've had, and at a higher price point. Pineapple fried rice with pork - I liked this but was a bit on the oily side. Tom kha soup - I thought this was very good and had a decent amount of chicken and mushrooms Overall I liked everything but some items I felt I had better versions of elsewhere. It's also on the pricier side. Still, if in central Austin I think it's a solid choice for Thai food.

    8/10 Would come back…read more I stopped in for the Pad Thai and overall it was a solid experience. My first few bites were a little underwhelming because it tasted slightly fishy and the flavors didn't seem to come together. After giving the box a really good shake, though, everything mixed properly and it tasted much better. I ordered a spice level 2, and wow, it was actually pretty spicy. I usually add extra chili sauce to my Pad Thai, but this time I didn't need to. If you're sensitive to heat, I probably wouldn't go any higher than a level 2. The peanuts added a nice crunch, and I highly recommend asking for extra lime. I felt like the dish could have used a little more acidity to balance everything out. While the slight fishiness wasn't my favorite, the overall flavor was good, and it's definitely one of the better Pad Thai options I've found in Austin so far. Not the best Pad Thai I've ever had, but one I'd happily order again when the craving hits.

    I loved it, idk why this place has a bad review. The food is actually really good and has GREAT…read moreflavor. My guess why the food is rated bad is because white people gave the review. I've noticed while being in Texas, places that cater to the ethnicity that the food is for are given a lover rating then if the food was white washed. Ex: I've gone to a few Mexican restaurants and the food wasn't spicy and was missing a lot of flavor. All the ratings were great for the restaurants even though clearly it was missing a lot of key ingredients. But this restaurant was AMAZING the service was also amazing and if you want good curry come here! The ambience was nice too. They were playing k pop music (I know that's not everyone's favorite music but u couldn't really here it that much anyway) also they were playing cute animal music in the back and I loved it! Anyway loved this place and the food was GREAT, it's hard to find a restaurant with great flavor that had great spice. If you don't like restaurants with spicy food you can adjust the spice. Also, it was a little dim but that doesn't affect the food at. LOVED this place!!!

Ambience: Dark and moody with plenty of seating and a partial viewing of the kitchen. Service: the waitress was super prompt and also gave a lot of explanation about items on the menu in case we weren't familiar with the dish. Food: The food is probably some of the best thai food in Austin. We ordered the papaya salad which came out more in like a "thin flat noodle fashion" than what we are normally used to, it's not super spicy like most thai restuarants like to serve it but still has some robust flavors and some spice it also comes with cracklings which are super crunchy. The chinese broccolli is always a favorite of mine for the texture and the Pork Ribs dish was super creamy with a hint of spice that left you craving more. The menu is so large that we will definetly be back, i'd recommend going close to open as it's not as crowded!

    My friend and I decided to check this place out since we've heard many good things about Kiin Di…read moreeven from days it was a food truck. We got the: * Roti Dip * Soft shell crab in curry * Papaya salad I loved the roti, it was crispy and the curry was flavorful, a bit salty but they paired well. The biggest miss for me was the soft shell crab in curry, the plate came out room temp which was a bit disappointing since curry is best served warm/hot. The batter on the crab was super thick it felt like we were just eating deep fried crab that got soggy quickly as it's served in the curry. The curry had some separation almost as if the coconut milk in it had been reheated or curdled during the cooking process. I'm not an expert chef but I've worked with coconut milk enough to notice these things. The papaya salad was decent, I loved the tangy and fresh flavors (we opted for 3 spice but definitely could've amped it up). I prefer my papaya salad with more "funk" but understand that's a different style. I am sad I had to give this place only 3 stars because my expectations were high considering this is their brick & mortar. I will have to give it a try again and taste other dishes. Overall the service was friendly, got sat immediately and didn't have to wait too long for the food to come out. More parking in the back of the restaurant, be weary of the signs from other businesses.
