Review Dodee - Chatswood

Enjoyed the food. Had spicy noodles and pork belly with greens (forgot the name). Food was good and tasty. However, one particular staff was not welcoming. No smile, no hello and hi. Nothing! Though the food was good, I won't go back because of the service. If you are reading this and you like their food but not service try Macquarie centre Khao Pla. The service they give is super good. You will enjoy food and service.

Really average food with everything so heavily seasoned. We drank nearly one and a half bottle of water just to wash them down. The pork was too sweet for my liking. Long wait for the food to hit the table as well - 35 mins until we see first dish. Although it was a busy Saturday night. However consider the portion very cheap for restaurants in Chatswood. Probably the only upside.

Went on a busy Friday night and the staff were generally quite attentive despite being very busy. The restraurant decor and fit out were nice. The pork ribs are sweet and were our favourite dish, a must order. The pear salad with soft shell crab was a little less crunchy than we would like and the garlic was quite strong, however it’s noteworthy for its flavour. The pad Thai was also very heavy on the garlic which was a bit overwhelming. The Tom yum goong was too sour for my palette.

Had the chicken pad Thai. Very average tasting, definitely not something I’d be in a rush to go in and order again. Found a particular staff member quite unwelcoming, no smiles or anything. I felt like I was a burden just eating there. 25/11: Update. Went there again today and had the Chinese broccoli w/pork belly and stir fried chicken with cashew. Portion size and price was very affordable. Taste of the dishes were actually quite nice. However, again, the service was horrendous…. this time by a male wait staff (previous encounter was a female staff member). I would consider changing my rating to a 4 or even a 5 if the staff didn’t have such attitudes. 😒

My partner had a vegan 'chicken' cashew nut dish which he LOVED and I had a vegan pad pak. I must be honest, it didn't have much flavor, but loved the combination of veggies. Lastly, we waited one hour before they took our order and we waited so long for the food as well. Service could be better.

I enjoyed the food. Red curry duck was good, duck meat was tender and the curry was fragrant. Mixed fried greens were fresh and yummy. The presentation of the pork ribs (we had eaten one rib before the photo was taken) was good and taste was ok. These 3 dishes with 1 jasmine rice cost us $62.

Nice Thai foods in Chatswood. The pork belly is cooked perfectly and really crispy. The massamman beef is tender and full of flavors. Love the vibe.

Food was way too salty, too spicy and overly seasoned - we had the pad see ew and duck curry. Decor is nice but the tables are quite cramped together, they limit your dining time and service was not attentive as they are too busy and understaffed. Won’t be back.

Amazing food. All the dishes were served quick and were delicious. The portions are good, we shared between four people. We also brought dessert which was definitely the highlight. The coconut ice cream with sticky rice and fried bread with pandan custard was incredible. We finished those so quickly. The dining area is a bit small but we still had a wonderful time.

There were mosquitoes/bugs in the lettuce leaves and parsley. Food was decent before making this unfortunate discovery

Was able to try out their buffet and it was worth the price. Most esp. The crying tiger beef and salt and pepper squid! Serving time was also not that bad considering the number of the buffet customers that they were attending to. Orders were freshly cooked.

Good value lunch menu. The spice level demands respect. I love a good tongue tingle and runny nose when eating spicy food so this place is great for me. If you’ve people in your party who can’t handle spicy food, ask the waitstaff for advice before ordering. For example, the pork skewers themselves were not spicy but the sauce that came with had a good burn (too much for my dining companion who swore his head off for 5 minutes), and that’s not disclosed in the menu.

Absolutely delicious Thai Noodles at Chatswood Chase. Seating is either inside or outside in a kind of outdoor glass tent. I had the Do Dee Tom Yum with Fresh Thin Rice Noodles (spicy level: Monster) and Wonton Soup. And a cheeky little Moo Ping each to get us started. Really great Thai

All-YOU-CAN-EAT THAI for $26.90!!! 🇹🇭🍽 If you want unlimited drinks (thai milk tea, pandan juice, etc) it’ll be an extra $5 which I think is such a great option considering we had like 3 Thai milk teas each LOL so good 😻🍹 We ordered so much and let’s just say it’s such great value for the price! 💸 We ordered soft shell crab, satay chicken skewers, moo ping (pork skewers), basil chilli crispy pork, pad thai, massaman curry, dodee tender ribs noodle soup, bbq pork neck, crying tiger, fried bread with pandan custard, and durian sticky rice 😍 This was for 4 of us and we struggled LOL 😅<br/>.<br/>My favourite dishes would definitely be the soft shell crab, chilli basil crispy pork and the pad Thai 🤩 The crab was soo crispy and light and the pork had soo much flavour and that crackling pork was amazing 🤪 The pad Thai seriously reminded me of Michelin Star @thipsamaipadthai in Bangkok!!! 🌟🤤 Everything else was amazing as well, cooked so well and top quality, not your average shitty buffet! 😜 The only dish I didn’t enjoy was the dodee tender ribs noodle soup, it just wasn’t for me. A staff member recommended it so I had high hopes 😂😭 It honestly tasted like fish sauce and lemon soup 😕<br/>.<br/>However, I’m soo excited to go back and try all the other dishes, definitely going to become a regular here 🤗 I’m usually really picky with my Thai because some restaurants just don’t seem authentic, but @dodeechatswood is one of the best Thai’s I’ve ever had 💯 Worth the 50min drive 😂😭💪

Had their popular Doo Dee noodle soup, monster level 1. I like how you can order a small or large bowl so you can try other dishes on the menu. I had a small and ordered the crispy school prawns with sweet chili sauce. Yummy! Especially since I was craving for something crunchy

This place is ok - nothing great or special. They serve a selection of noodle and grilled dishes. Noodle soups come with lots of meat and vegetarian toppings. Service is super quick. Everything is really tasty and the portion size is good value for a quick meal. There is a bit too much MSG and oil used in cooking their food for my taste.

As far as cheap eats go, its hard to go past the Thai noodles at Do Dee Paidang which has a branch in Chatswood Westfield with both al fresco street-side dining and restaurant seating available for groups of all sizes. Dodee Paidang’s noodles are billed as the most popular tom yum noodles in Thailand and their extensive menu has a whole range of variations on these noodles – from the type of noodles, level of chilli and toppings/proteins. Our tip is to start off with the nursery level (no chilli) and work your way up the levels (which can get to Super Nova Level 7) rather than going in for Level 1 or 2 at the start as it can get pretty fiery even for the seasoned chilli eaters!

Thanks for the meal!<br/><br/>Ordeed DoDee noodles, fish and and the platter (see pictures)<br/><br/>Firstly the DoDee. Amazing noodles which were cooked perfectly adante. The level 7 spiced noodles is what gets the 5 star for me. Super spicy to the point of near unbearable but so much complexity in the porky flavour of the soup. The next day burning was worth it.... Other dishes were also on point with the fish being nicely moist on the inside with a nice crispy outer shell. The seafood platter was all fresh and the salad and accompanying fish sauces balanced everything together nicely.<br/><br/>Overall come for the level 7 DoDee. Leave with level 7 burning the next day.

I’ve been here quite a few times and most times they’ve gotten our order wrong which is slightly annoying...staff aren’t too attentive either

I’ve been to DoDee before for their cheap noodles (which are great value!!) and this time we decided to try their other menu items. We loved how tasty all of our dishes were, how speedy everything came and the wheel of fortune we got to spin afterwards for DoDee vouchers even if it had to be used within a week.  <br/><br/>For dinner we had: <br/>Sun Dried Pork - marinated dried pork, deep fried, served with dried chill sauce ($16.90) <br/>Pad Thai with Crispy Pork- stir fried thin rice noodle with soft tofu, egg, bean sprouts, chives, peanuts, in pad thai sauce with chill powder on side ($17.90) <br/>Fried Rice Pineapple with Prawn - fried rice with cashew nuts, pineapple, egg, soy sauce, curry powder, onion, served with cucumber and lemon ($20.90)<br/><br/>We enjoyed all our dishes, alongside some drinks including coconut water, thai milk tea and an Ovaltine volcano (YUM but beware because it’s super chocolate rich). The cheap eats menu is probably better value, but we still loved our food - would recommend the Sun Dried Pork and any crispy pork!

Been meaning to go to the Chinatown DoDee for ages, but is never in the mood for Thai when in the vicinity. The dinner menu prices are not particularly cheap for a brand that's well know for being great cheap eats. Not that it's breaking the bank expensive either, about average for a Thai restaurant. Got a Red Curry Duck & Crispy Pork with Chilli Basil to takeaway. Both were absolutely delicious. The Crispy Pork was definitely still crispy and moist, well sauced throughout, Chilli wasn't too overpowering, good mix of different greens. It's hard to get a bad red duck curry, and this one's good, lots of curry sauce & not too sweet, but an extra few pieces of duck & veggies is probably needed. Will return.

Latest branch of the little wonder in Haymarket.<br/>Typically I love my soft boiled rice combination.<br/>Wife like the noodles. Be warned, don’t be a hero and order too spicy. Smoke will come out your ears.<br/><br/>The salads are good too share. Just the preserved crab is an acquired taste!<br/><br/>Top: Ask for the crispy cracker bits seperate, so you don’t have to rush thru a soggy mess and can enjoy the crunchiness.

Really wanted to try this place. Ordered a large bowl of noodles with seafood. Very unsatisfying and disappointing in taste and serving size.

Not sure why the restaurant suddenly get lots of 5 reviews from new account. Seems fishy! <br/>All i can say is the service is bad, so many staff but poor communication and unattentive.<br/>Portion was ridiculously small, even the “JUMBO” size, i cant believe they charge $17 for the so called jumbo size.<br/>Talk to the manager for the food portion, he said the restaurant just open so they still adjusting the size. Very unprofesional answer coming from the reataurant that have 3 branches.<br/><br/>

I have been visiting this noodle franchise for over 10 years before they arrived AU. the noodle dishes are Thai authentic. You must try their specialty SPICY noodle. I highly recommend order spicy lv1 if you don’t like the heat from every bite. spicy level on the menu is pretty much amount of chilli flakes they put in your bowl.<br/><br/>After “hot&spicy” noodle, we ordered a coconut milk dessert with jelly to finish the meal.<br/><br/>Down side is they accept cash only regardless of how much you order. And you wouldn’t like the place if you prefer “mild” spicy level.

They're popular for their thai noodles. The soft shell crab papaya were really refreshing as well as their mouth watering pineapple fried rice. Enjoyed the food!<br/><br/>Opening hours 11am-10pm

Do Dee is famous by its spicy noodle soup. I ordered level 3 spicy and I was sweating like a hell. If you want to challenge spicy food, you can try it here. However their other Thai dishes are average.

Very expensive with few amount noodle. Bed service. Waited for long time for a bowl of noodle. Cash only. No one served me when I went into the restaurant. Will never try twice.

Food is cheap and comes in large servings. The food came out quick even for a group. Lots of variety. My go to stall. Would be better if they have eftpos and split bill facilities.

This is a relatively new Thai place that opened up in Chatswood, and I’m glad that it’s cheaper than the other Thai places (or at least has cheaper filling options). Their $10 lunches are pretty good and the service is decent as well. I particularly like their moo ping skewers. Decent flavour and great value if you’re feeling like something other than the food court for lunch.

Always great! The dry tom yum noodles is fantastic, for a change pick the egg noodles and I think it tastes just as good as Chinatown's outlet.

Ordered:<br/>1. Fish ball noodle with Thai special noodle - when the noodles arrived, my first impression was the portion size is small (which is perfect for me who needs portion control but I don’t think this size will satisfy someone who is not on a diet), when I had the first bite, the flavours were amazing, something I have never tasted before, I will try the other noodles next time as this noodle was a little too sticky for my liking <br/>2. Soft rib noodle jumbo size - jumbo size is your normal regular size, this one is too spicy for me <br/>3. Coconut ice cream with sticky rice - the ice cream was nice but on the creamier side so not as refreshing, the sticky rice had a really weird taste, I didn’t like it at all. <br/><br/>Will I go back: yes, I want to try their amazing flavoured soup with all different types of noodles on offer

If you love noodles, this places really rocks it the noodles department. They specialise in the Thai street style noodle soup and there's a menu dedicated to it.<br/>To the food. The noodle soup was really flavoursome that came with side condiments but portion size is on the smaller side, even if you get the larger size. It is rather ironic that one should pay more for a larger size but the portions seemingly remain the same.<br/>We were still hungry after the meal and decided to order one of their desserts which was average.<br/>I'd still want to go back and try their fries banana and relive that Thai culinary adventure.

Hvg been to their cabra m chinatown outlets, i am keen to see if chatty’s joint measures up. We have seen many examples of inconsistencies when a brand expands. <br/><br/>Regular sized fishball noodle should be renamed small snack sized n the so called jumbo variety noodle the actual regular size. Do dee is touted as one of the cheapest thai eats. In that regard, it fails spectacularly as their jumbo size is priced between $14-22 while the regular snack size $7-9. Portion size is a far cry from cabra n chinatown as far as i rem. In line w misleading portion sizes, the broth (tom yum in this case) was similarly lacking in volume. Fortunately taste was on point if a little more watery than i rem. Still packed a punch though. If you disregard serving size n price, it is worthy of the name.

Came here as I was staying in Chatswood and walked past “the best noodle dish “ sign . I ordered the jumbo bowl and it was probably the size of a regular but smaller . Soup flavour was not bad but not value for money

Skewers Pork and Fish ball paired with two sauces is just amazing 4/5<br/><br/>Pork Ribs glazed with honey 3.5/5 , BBQ charcoal <br/><br/>Papaya Chilli Salad amazing 4/5, lovely refreshing flavors. <br/><br/><br/>Cash Only, average service.

Only had the pad thai takeaway to try this place out. Unfortunately NOT the best noodle in sydney as the sign says. Dry, under-seasoned, the seafood chewy and not fresh. Very disappointed. If a thai noodle place cannot do a pad thai, it's a bit risky to go back and try other noodle dishes. Disappointing, hope the rest of the menu isn't reflected by this.

Tasty tasty soup, had the nursery noodle and pork rib noodle. Nursery noodle would be good for kids or people who can’t eat spicy food. Surprisingly generous with the toppings on both bowls, but the portion is so so so so small. Reflects the price - meaning it’s not super affordable, but if you wanted to order two bowls for variety (or one for a snack) that’s possible too, which is a plus. Really like the flavour of the soup + toppings.

Don't be fooled, this place is clearly not under the same management as Do Dee in Haymarket and Bondi. Taste is still good but do not get the jumbo, it is the same size as the regular! Watch for the pink and blue bowls as people eat, they are regular and jumbo sizes respectively.

We LOVE Do Dee Paidang! This is our new favourite Thai restaurant. Not only do they serve delicious classic dishes on the menu they also have a separate “noodle soup menu” full with traditional noodle soups! They have a option for a small/jumbo bowl (order the jumbo) we couldn’t get enough of the dish “Tom Yum Noodle with tender ribs” we actually got thirds!!!! 3 bowls of jumbo!!!!!!<br/>The service is fast, staff are friendly and plenty of seating in there outdoor/indoor sections. <br/>This is a must try when in Chatswood. <br/>If you a fan of spicy, I would suggest trying the Tom Yum Spicy noodle range off the noodle soup menu.

We ordered for massaman and it was too sweet. We also tried their entree of the crispy shrimp and it was really good, yoi can eat the whole of it. I just didnt like the dip that xame with it. I used the massaman sauce instead.<br/>Their dessert of the bread with pandan sauce was nothing compared to the city thai restaurant. Might give it another try in winter. Would be interesting to try their 'best noodle'

Wooooo I Love Do Dee! So happy a Thai cheap eat has opened up on the North Shore. Food and service is same as the Chinatown branch, but the restaurant is actually really nice and open (sits where Tarboosh Grill used to in Westfield).
