Very tasty food. The pad kapow was delightfully spicy and seasoned so well. I’m not normally a fan of ground or minced meat, but this was so good I would go back for it. The red curry was good too, huge portion of it. On the milder side of curries I’ve had, but no complaints. The chicken was well cooked and the inclusion of Brussel sprouts was nice. The mango sticky rice was delicious, very generous with the mango.Atmosphere is super pleasant. Lots of picnic benches and outdoor lights. Has a fun, chill energy. Several people bring their dogs, so things are very laid-back.

Mango sticky rice was great. Would try the pad kaprow next time

I ordered the pungent (in a very good way) papaya salad with crab. Absolutely fantastic! Extremely fresh papaya. I ordered it half spicy and it had a kick. Dee dee is generous with the sauce so you can shred some of your own papaya, carrots, or Daikon into it too the next day. Note: for takeout they separate the sauce from the shreddage. Again: this is a spicy dish. I highly recommend the lowest setting for this one lol. The 8-chili would be a challenge. Can't wait to come back and eat everything else. Thank you to the team for giving me a free thing of sticky rice--it was needed as my lips are STILL tingling in the writing of this review.

It's Northeastern Thai food so expect different spices and aromatic vegetables. If you don't like spicy your options are limited, and it's a very different kind of spice than most Thai restaurants. The owners are kind and service was great.

Absolutely best ka prow hands down! Remember to place an order in advance. That’s the only downside. You can’t just walk in, order food and eat. Amazing food though!Radio bar itself is pretty cool. Lots of seating and a good bar.

Great food truck and area to eat with a bar you can bring drinks outside from.The Thai food here is the real deal made with care. Very tasty, better than I’ve had anywhere else in Texas.
Great food, really tasty. Fantastic mango sticky rice. And it's such a cute area, so nice to eat in.

Looove the mango sticky rice and the ka pow! Also got the Om Gai during the cold days. Recently tried their new special Gai Palo and it hit the spot. It so much comfort food and it’s a mix of the chinese five spice dish and viet version of this. I like this a lot better cause the sauce for the rice makes it more fresher and light. I wish this stays on the menu longer!!

This place is so dang good it ruined normal Thai food for me. I moved away from Austin for 3 years, and twice a week I would think about their food. This place deserves a medal of honor. I want this place to officiate my wedding, it’s just so dang good.
Food is flavorful and better than most restaurants in the area. End of story.

Dee-Dee is a great place for Thai street food in Austin. They use fresh ingredients straight from the farm, which makes their food even more delicious. We tried their Pad Kapow and loved it. The rice was full of flavors, and the spicy stir-fried pork went perfectly with it, along with the fried basil. Just be prepared to wait a while; we waited around 45 minutes for our dish.

Had the pad kra pow (pictured) twice while in Austin along with the laab & mango sticky rice! Super flavorful and spicy. It was oily but I worked around it cause it’s so flavorful. Had to take it to go cause we got eaten alive by bugs in the outdoor area. Someone suggested maybe wait to put the fish sauce on as that was an attractor. Definitely give them a try!Parking: Gravel lot, first come first serve. Can potentially fill up in busy house as there’s another cafe and food truck. Wheelchairs could become stuck in gravel but no stairs to Dee Dees.

Heard about this place from Eater. I had the Om Gai. It was, in fact, fantastic. There was this really interesting flavor that I couldn't place, and the smell was fascinating. I'd love to go back and ask them what ingredients they use so I can identify that flavor.I might get the Om Gai less spicy next time since the normal Thai heat was a bit hot for me to taste the other flavors - on the other hand I enjoyed the heat, so might get it normal spicy again next time.Also had the mango sticky rice. It was delicious, as mango sticky rice usually is, and I appreciated the solid portion of mango and rice. I would ask for a second container of coconut milk, though, as the one they gave out wasn't quite enough.

Real authentic Thai food, served just like how they serve it in Thailand as street food with the sticky rice in a plastic sleeve and fresh herbs. We got the laab and the mango sticky rice which were both as good as what we’ve eaten in Thailand!Only thing is you might be waiting up to 30 mins during peak hours, but it was nice to get a drink and hang around.We’ll definitely be back!
