Dodee Paidang

My recent dining experience at Dodee Paidang with my parents was nothing short of exceptional. From start to finish, we were thoroughly impressed by the quality of food and service provided.

The menu offers a delightful array of authentic Thai cuisine, and each dish we ordered surpassed our expectations. Not only was the food delicious, but it was also consistently excellent, reflecting the restaurant's commitment to quality. Additionally, every dish was well presented, appetizing, and delivered to our table in a timely manner.

The ambiance of the restaurant is inviting, and the staff are friendly and attentive, further enhancing the overall dining experience.

I highly recommend Dodee Paidang to anyone looking for authentic Thai cuisine in Melbourne. Whether you're a Thai food enthusiast or simply looking to explore new flavors, this restaurant is sure to impress. We left Dodee Paidang with satisfied taste buds and fond memories, and we'll definitely be returning soon.

Good food, good vibes. Quite authentic Thai cuisine designed to suit local Australian taste. The delivery of food to the table by a cute robot was a nice touch. The restaurant was busy with many patrons. We enjoyed it and ended with sticky rice with durian dessert. We discussed how they would have imported these Thai desserts to Australia. :-)

This restaurant was a cool experience! Situated down an underground staircase, Dodee Paidang is a vibrant restaurant with robot cat waiters and delicious food and drinks! The roti was extremely crispy, my cashew stir fry was extremely flavourful, and the mango lemon soda was yum! Prices are affordable! Around $20 - 40 pp for food and drinks and including an entree. I found there were enough vegetarian options. There is a specific vegan menu as well. Only negative is the tables are quite close together and it can be difficult to get between tables. I would return and recommend!

This Thai street food restaurant is perfect for group dining. It is located in the basement but well renovated space. Expect a queue if you do not have reservations. Wide variety of Thai dishes, everything you would want to try. They use robots to serve. Hence, human waiters/waitresses are short in numbers. It is not the type of place you would expect to have waiting services.

Dodee Paidang has always been my favourite place to eat Thai foods in Melbourne. I was a bit shocked when I realised that they taste better than the street foods I ate in Bangkok itself. Highly recommended restaurant!!

Grabbed takeaway so can’t rate service, can definitely rate the food however.
We ordered Chicken Pad Thai, Crying Tiger Beef and Devil Tom Yum.
Chicken Pad Thai was authentic, perfect balance of flavours and a decent sized serve.
Crying Tiger Beef was tender, cooked to perfection and well flavoured. House made chilli fish sauce was a perfect match for the beef, making for a damn good dish.
Tom Yum was level 2 spicy, it had a fair kick to it. Quality ingredients, authentic taste and one of the best Tom Yum I have had in Melbourne.

Overall I rate Dodee Paidang as one of the best Thai restaurants in the CBD, highly recommend a visit as they do some damn decent deals.

The only problem I have is that I only have one stomach but theres so many dishes I want to try. I ordered the soft shell crab curry, pork rib soup and red duck curry. My friends ordered thai beef with basil and lots of others and everything was great
Definitely need to come here multiple times to try all the dishes

Potentially the best Thai restaurant that I have been in a very long time, specially in CBD.

Self order is effortless, they have free wifi to make sure you have connectivity in a basement level restaurant. Quantity is good for one person, one plate of Pad thai would only be good for one person. But food is priced very ambitiously to not seem expensive.

Staff is humble.

One of the best Thai food!

- Best pork bone soup provides well-balanced multiple flavors. Strongly recommend!

- Stir fry crispy pork with water spinach is so yum to serve with rice.

- Green papaya salad itself is so freshly appetizing. However, too much deep fried side dishes in the combo deal.

- Raw prawn salad is little bit spicy which to some extent other ingredient's flavor

Very busy Thai restaurant, easy ordering and food was very quick to come out. Very tasty and generous portions sizes made to be shared.

My favourite restaurant in Melbourne by far. Fried rice with pineapple and seafood is a plate you cannot miss, so delicious! Tried also fried rice with other meats and all were beautiful. Asian beers made the plates even more enjoyable. Great atmosphere, service and live music most dinners. Love it, wish we had one in Brisbane!

Delicious meal and wide options to chose from. My highlight is ordering Level 7 nano spicy tom yum. Although it was not as spicy as I expected, it was tasty with a hint of sweetness. Overall, an enjoyable meal.

Always love this place for all their dishes on the menu, fast service as well as the spiciest soup noodles in town, ever. The fact that it opens till late over weekends (compared to other local businesses around Melbourne CBD) & offers discounts for cash payments makes us keep coming back here oftentimes.

My friends and I tried the Thai milk tea, pad Thai (chicken, beef, and sea food), and mango sticky rice, and it was a blast. Before we went to the restaurant, we'd actually been craving the following food, and it did not disappoint us. We plan to go back and try the other menu

We visited this restaurant for a late lunch during our stay in Melbourne, it's located close to the CBD as such easily accessible from most tourist spots. As we were past the usual lunch hour, we didn't have any wait times. We got the chicken fried rice alongside panang curry (which comes with rice) and both items were great. The service was also quite prompt. Highly recommend this place if you are craving Thai cuisine in melbourne

Everything was delicious, we could have definitely gone for a spicier level of Tom Yum in the noodles but I definitely enjoyed it all

Staff here are very nice but very little interaction is required with them as cutlery is self service and you order from the QR code on the table.

Out of business control however the atmosphere is a little too loud if it’s busy you will have to raise your voice a little, overall we still had a very good time!

What we ordered:
Variety Tom Yum Noodle (with egg noodles and standard spice level)
BBQ Pork Neck
Pork Mince in Basil Chilli Sauce
Salted Fish Fried Rice
Som Tum Corat (Papaya Salad)
Salmon Salad

A little too crowded during dinner time with quite a long queue but fast. The staffs were friendly and quick whenever we have requests or needed something. Food was amazing, been there more than 5 times and the quality and taste are the same. Kid friendly too as not all food on the menu are spicy. If you love spicy food, this one’s for you as you can always ask for red chillies. Water bottle is available too and easily accessible to customers so you won’t be forced to order drinks.

Genuine Thai experience! The staff were super friendly, helping us navigate the menu. My all-time favorite is the fried fish with tamarind sauce – it's a flavor explosion! Decided this time to try fried prawn – absolutely yummy. You can order via QR code by connecting to their WiFi, or you can head to the front and order at the bar.
There are so many non alcoholic drinks as well, love the virgin mojito and milk tea. Would suggest to dine-in before 12pm or after 1pm as there will be long queue, although you get to sit quickly. No bookings required you can walk in.
Overall,
can’t get enough of the delicious choices here! 🌶🍤🇹🇭

Really tasty Thai food. Would highly recommend. The fried fish (photo) was my favourite. Had some issues with service, discussed with owner and was acknowledged and resolved very quickly.

The flavour that we know
Just exactly what we want
Definitely going back for those big portion spicy yummy noodle soups
And don’t forget to order the side skewers too! They are just beautiful
