I had a lovely authentic thai dinner with my partner during our visit here. The flavours were fresh, strong and tangy. I’m so happy that the chef did not hold back on the chilli as it gave me the spicy kick I was so desperately seeking. The owners were very friendly and upon learning that I’m a chilli fiend gave me some of their homemade sambal (chilli paste) to sample! And boy, it tasted so good!! Can’t recommend this restaurant enough if you’re seeking for authentic Thai flavours 🥢
Would also like to add that the 3.7 rating is so deceptive. It’s definitely 5 🌟 and beyond!
Dee Dees Thai food blew my expectations. The flavours were authentic and not afraid of spice, my partner who is never satisfied with most restaurants definition of spice was a very happy camper. We loved the food here, fresh, tasty and not oily and we are happy to continue to support our little local, definitely a must try!
Reminds me of Thailand. The freshness, the aroma, the flavour, the texture and taste!!!
Oh yum. Slurp slurp slurp. Mouth watering just thinking about it
Fantastic service from the friendly owners. Their Khua Kling pork has an unique blend of herbs and dry curry and resembles Larb Gai. This is the 1st time I have ever tasted this in Melb and it was fabulous !! Their cooking is Northern Thai style and is more savoury than the typical Bangkok style Thai food we commonly see in Melb. The Son Tum is different as well and totally refreshing as compared to the typical Som Tum we come across. They include crunchy bean sprouts and vermicelli which blends in well with the green papaya, lime and salted crab. Dee Dee presents a refreshing and different taste palate to your typical Thai restaurant. The ambience is a cosy, homely little place not only popular with the locals but also those who travel afar to savour their northen Thai cuisine.
Delicious, fresh, authentic, bursting with complex flavour. We're lucky to have such high quality Thai as our local. Dee Dee is a wonderful host, thanks for giving us a taste of your hometown food.
Just went for first time, really really good. Friendly service and atmosphere, and the food was delicious! Really fresh, and minimal oil, cooked to perfection
My score (possibly a slightly generous) 4.0 stars. I had a solo lunch here on Tue 19th Oct. Small interior, simple decor. Service nice by young woman out front, the female manager/owner a bit shouty in the kitchen (not a good “look”).
3 vego curry puffs plus a roti w peanut sauce (lunch combo $8) – Curry puffs small but nice. Interesting sweet chilli sauce, clear, zippy, very good! Roti wasn't particularly flaky but good nonetheless (not oily either), the peanut sauce very good - dark and chunky. Overall, good value.
Panang curry veg w rice (lunch special $10). I asked for medium heat and it was pretty hot/spicy (a good thing). Curry was full of a range of very nice al dente veg and a little tofu. Very fragrant curry sauce (lotso kaffir lime) and not too sweet. Very good except a bit salty for mine. Great value!
I was the only dine-in, but there was some takeaway. My food was slow coming out, but the TA took an eternity (I felt sorry for them)…
Excellent service and great authentic and quality Thai food here! Definitely worth trying, with good pricing.
Amazing service, very friendly staff, and most importantly really delicious Thai food.
We ordered chicken satay skewers for entree, they were tasty and crispy. We also had two mains, 1 was Pad Gra Pow and this was delicious and not overly spicy. #2 was Pad Kee Mao and this was just as delicious as the first. Dish 2 comes with a lemon wedge, our advice is don't add lemon to this dish as it tastes better on its own. I also met the owner Tanya and she was friendly and inviting. The restaurant is located across the street from Woolworths and has ample parking with just a few steps toward this Thai Sanctuary. Highly Recommended!
I was near by looking for some lunch and saw this had some positive reviews so we dropped in for lunch. Immediately the service was quick and friendly, the restaurant reminded me of my past Thailand trips and they were also accommodating with my 2 year old son. We ordered the Dee Dee red duck, Kid's fried rice, Pad Kee Mao noodle, Som Tum Thai & Jasmine rice. All were on a medium heat for spice and the food came out quickly. The food is honestly authentic flavours from Thailand and so delicious. Probably the best Thai north of the city in my opinion. Would highly recommend
Yummy, comforting thai food. Always love to come back for their pad thai😍. A friend also recommends their fried chicken & sticky rice.
Just had a wonderful experience at Dee Dee Thai, we ordered the masaman Thai curry with slow cooked beef, and it was perfect. We also tried their pad Thai.
We can't wait to return and try what else they have to offer.
We met the owners, the chef Tania is a lovely Thai lady, who cooks authentic foods and made us feel at home (even with two little babies in tow).
Luke was warm and hospitable as front of house, and added to the pleasant dining out experience.
Thanks a bunch!
This is without doubt the BEST Thai restaurant I've ever tried. The Pork Crispy Basil with Preserved Egg was Absolutely Fantastic. Just as I remember it. Pad Si Ewe is just Delicious. Great flavour and Perfect Noodle. Every dish was Amazing. Thank you Dee Dee Thai. Can't wait to come back again.
As an ex-chef and food nerd, this place is well deserving of 5 stars. Tania and her family are so lovely and welcoming- you feel like you’re just coming over for dinner when you arrive!
My partner and I have been twice in the past week since discovering and have been so pleased each time.
Highly recommend the cashew stir fry and pad see ew!
Thank you so much! Will come again soon!
Lovely atmosphere and delicious meals. Happy customer.
Popped in after reading menu at the door. Clean, tidy little place. Ordered many dishes, entree and mains for takeaway. The young man who served was polite and really friendly.
The food was delicious. Fresh ingredients, beautiful flavors. Like going back to Thailand. Thank you Chef Bird for your beautiful food and the staff for your friendly service.
