    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.

    Thai Fried Chicken
    Anshul S.

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

    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!

    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

    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.

    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

    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.

    Pad KaPow
    Joseph M.

    This place is great! They moved from Radio over to the new botanical style Leona off Brodie. It's a really cool space with plenty of room to relax. Dee Dee serves up some fantastic Thai comfort food. My go to is the Pad KaPow which is comprised of a spicy minced pork, with a fried egg, & basil over rice.

    Karen Q.

    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.

"I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream"...so the saying goes.

I prefer the mini but they're sold out a lot which shows you how spectacular this place is. My go to is the nutty valentine. The donut is always warm, fresh, and crispy. And the toppings of Nutella, cinnamon, and strawberries adds dimension & the perfect story. There is plenty of patio seating and lots of parking outside. There can be a line on the weekends and they tend to sell out so keep that in mind. The staff is friendly and service is quick!

    Doughnuts made to order out of an airstream, you say?…read more Looks like they used to offer mini versions but that side of the menu is all mask taped over. When we went our choices were $9-$10 donut base desserts. I say base because the toppings cover up the donut visually. Despite that, there's no covering that scrumptious taste and texture. Wowaweea. Yes, you feel your cells expand and pants tighten and it is for sure run club pre and post, but quite worth it. These divine donuts have that cakey interior I love so much. We had the Puddin': cream cheese icing, vanilla pudding, fresh bananas with nilla wafers. According to the menu. Ours didn't have any nilla wafers and the presentation was uneven, hence the four stars. I didn't miss the wafers. The icing and pudding were one goopy topping and the bananas slices were half scattered slices and half banana chunk that I had to separate. Side notes: Gourdough sits on a corner with parking spots that are not free. There's a pay via QR code so you'll need a phone or something to scan that. Boo for digital shackles. Next note- I feel like this is a low key meet up spot. Like the way they tried to make the first train cars on the MTA the singles car? There was a series of singles getting doughnuts and they were a little done up for the occasion. Who knows. With the little IG ready love seats and doughnuts made for sharing, you could walk away with extra sugar.

Even so, the ambience seems like the decorations were cute, but very cheap and damaged overtime with little to no repairs. But I didn't come here for aesthetics. I came here for great Boba tea and sweet treats. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. What looked like a traditional milk toast dessert, was literally four pieces of stale bread, toasted and stacked on top of each other. that tasted freezer burnt with lots of sauce on top. No topping between each layer so it was not flavorful or tasty and all you could taste was a weird chemical flavor from the bread. Same thing with the ice cream, so freezer burnt that it tasted of chemicals, cardboard, and didn't even melt despite sitting on the plate for 15+ minutes. The Taro tea itself was fine with the crème brûlée topping, but the brown sugar Boba had the same chemical "going bad" flavor to it. It was super hard and bitter tasting instead of sweet. The soufflé pancakes were fine, but the ice cream was terrible on that too. It's hard to mess up Ice Cream, but somehow they managed.

The cheesecake featured a thin, creamy top layer that paired nicely with the soft, cloud-like texture underneath. Each bite melted in my mouth, making it unlike any cheesecake I have had before.
