Dodee Paidang

Super busy so expect to wait if you haven't booked ahead. Expect very casual dining. Self service via a QR code and a robot delivering your order. The food is fabulous. Fresh, tasty and good portion sizes. A great selection for all dietary needs including Gluten free, vegetarian and vegan menus. Overall great value for money. If you like and appreciate this review please give it a like or a thumbs up so that I know what content to include in future reviews.

An institution to all those in the know in Melbourne, it was only my second time dining here and it definitely won't be my last. Their menu is huge and almost impossible to get through as they are always bringing in innovative and fun monthly specials. Every bite of every dish brings with it an authentic Thai experience of the senses. My favourites had to be the pork bone broth soup for its rich and hearty flavour, perfect for a winter's day, and the pla ka pow which is a deep fried whole barramundi topped with chilli and crispy basil sauce. The dodee variety is perfect if you can't choose a meat because it is packed with all the good stuff. I also couldn't get enough of the noods when they were stir-fried with Chinese broccoli and beef in the pad kee mow. They even have a gluten free and vegan menu. And finally getting served by the robot was no mean feat and definitely added to the fun of it all! With two city locations, you'd think it would be easy to get a table but this is place is a hive of activity so be prepared to wait during their peak.
