It baffles my mind that this place doesn’t have more great reviews. I just went for the first time tonight and it was divine. The employees are so kind, accommodating, and lovely to talk to. The vegan menu is huge and the food was incredible. I literally can’t wait to go back.
Was a little confused at first since Dee Dee's is a restaurant within a restaurant with a separate menu. The Vegan Thai food was decent, but didn't leave me wanting to go back soon. Everything else was great.Vegetarian options: Two restaurants in one. Separate, entirely vegan menu provided.
Food was prepared well. The tom kha flavor was decent but too sweet. The coconut curry didn't have enough flavor. The khao soi was good

Delicious vegan Thai food, beautiful presentation. Friendly lovely staff. I need to go many more times too try everything else on the menu!

With all the vegan Thai options in the city to compare it to, Dee Dee was just ok. The pad Thai noodles came as a congealed mass and lacked sauce. The texture could maybe be attributed to the fact that we ordered out, but the mouthfeel of the noodles themselves suggested they were simply overcooked. The fresh rolls were tasty but did not come with nearly enough peanut sauce for their size. And the som tum (papaya salad) lacked the zing this salad typically packs. Not the worst meal ever, but certainly not something I would seek out again.

Ordered on Doordash so didn’t realize it was a ghost kitchen, but the food was RAW. Uncooked, uncut (?!) vegetables, including raw potatoes which can make people extremely sick. Honestly this should not be an operating business, and the health department should shut this place down so they don’t make more people ill. Who can even say what their hygiene and contaminate processes are. You should be ashamed to call any of that food, much less charge money for it.

Nice place. Helpful and friendly staff. Lots of vegan options. Unfortunately the vegetables in the dishes weren't very cooked but the flavour was good. Maybe a little overpriced.
Such a cute little restaurant with lots of vegan options! I’ll definitely be back again!The staff was friendly, and the food was wonderful!

One of the freshest and most beautifully prepared meals I had in Portland was at Dee Dee. I had the pineapple fried rice and it was fantastic. Also, the best service I have had in a long time.

FYI I'm pretty sure this is the same owner as Sweet Basil on Broadway. I'm not sure why, but I see this before with Thai places in Portland with a good cart. They open up a new location under a different name. I was excited to try a new all vegan Thai restaurant and I remembered Sweet Basil was closer to me so I compared their menus through their online ordering and they're identical. Even the same stock photos used.
So if you like Sweet Basil, you'll like this place. I do like Sweet Basil though I feel their portions are sometimes on the small side. I just don't like restaurants opening up multiple locations under different names with the same menu. It feels a bit deceiving.

This happy little restaurant is a lot larger than it initially looks and has a very impressive menu. Staff are really nice and the restaurant has a fun vibe to it.

Despite the name, this is not a vegan restaurant. It's actually just a "vegan" section (that includes egg noodles) on the Ladda Thai House menu. I ordered Singapore Vegan Noodle, which is pan-fried rice vermicelli noodles with fresh garlic, mixed vegetables, mushroom, onions, and curry powder. It was fine, but it had a lot of cabbage, which I don't really like. Also, I would have preferred the tofu to be cut into smaller pieces.
