DEE DEE : Country Style Thai

Best Restaurants in Austin, Spring 2025 | Eater Austin

"Chef Lakana Trubiana cooks up a small but mighty Thai menu from this South Lamar neighborhood truck. The flavorful Isan-style dishes (rooted in the northern region of Thailand) range from comforting om gai (chicken in a chili-paste broth) to a very spicy laab moo. During summer’s peak mango season, the mango sticky rice alone makes Dee Dee worth a visit. The truck is located at the coffee shop and bar Radio (at least until its new restaurant Leona opens), so diners can eat indoors or on the patio at the eclectic space, or take food to go. Know before you go: All orders are placed online. Trubiana uses vegetables from her garden in her dishes — ask about canine garden helper Mango." - Erin Russell
