I ordered Pad KaPow (normal spicy) and mango sticky rice. The pad kapow was pretty good - very flavorful with a mix of salty, citrusy, and spicy. I just wish it had more vegetables (or more cucumber in this case) but that's just coming from someone who loves vegetables. The mango sticky rice was quite good. In my experience getting takeout mango sticky rice from various Thai restaurants, it's never that great, so I was pleasantly surprised by it from Dee Dee. The rice was super sticky, as expected, and the mangos were soft and sweet. Do I wish there was more sauce in the cup? Maybe, but it's not a huge deal. Dee Dee is in a small food truck park outside Radio, and it looked like there was parking on either side of the park. They do online orders only, which can be placed on their website. When I had looked to place an order around 4:45pm, their website said ASAP would take 70 minutes, but when I went to pick up my food around 6:30, they had a sign outside that said online orders would take 30 minutes, so a little unclear honestly and you may just want to schedule your order, which is what I did, and they were quite timely in having my order ready by the designated time.

Authentic Thai food in a cute little food truck park. I got an Uber there and waited about 10 minutes for my preorder. I got the Pad KaPow and the mango sticky rice. It was so good I wanted to yell lol

Food truck serving country-style northeastern Thai food. They only take online orders, and they advise you to pre-order well ahead of time due to long wait times. That way you can choose your desired pick up time. The first order we placed was for Pad KaProw and the Gaeng Daeng. Their mango stick rice was "sold out" earlier in the day when we placed our first order, but when we checked back later it was back in stock and we were able to order it for the same pickup time. The Pad KaProw consists of spicy minced pork, jasmine rice, cucumber, a fried egg, and fried basil, and it comes with a spicy dipping sauce on the side (nam pla prik). The Gaeng Daeng is a spicy red curry with chicken, eggplant, melon squash, basil, and it comes with a generous side of jasmine rice. My overall thought for both the Pad KaProw and the Gaeng Daeng was: SO SPICY. Too spicy for my taste, and it made the dishes inedible. To be fair, they let you choose your spice level, and we stuck with the "normal" spice level, so this was our mistake. I would highly advise choosing the lowest spice level the first time. Luckily, the experience was saved by the mango sticky rice. This is a wonderful dessert that consists of a huge, ripe, delicious mango, sitting on a bed of coconut milk sticky rice, with a coconut milk sauce on the side. It saddens me that this dessert is seasonal, because it was perfect. Get it while the mangos are in season! Parking is tricky. They have a few parking spots in the front, and a small parking lot in the back. It was busy during the week, so I imagine it's pretty hard to find parking on weekends.

I love Thai, and have been excited to try Dee Dee as coming highly recommended from friends and professional sources alike. It is very good. The unpopular opinion: not impressed with the Pad KaPow - while savory and filling, not much depth in flavors, and the fried egg gets overcooked very quickly in takeout containers. By comparison, the Gaeng Daeng (red curry) is phenomenal - rich and hearty but still elegantly sweet & not too spicy broth with chicken and vegetables. A VERY good curry. My favorite was the Som Tom (papaya salad) - fresh, crunchy, tart & tangy, could make a nice vegan lunch of it. Really lovely. I'd love to try the skewers but they're often sold out (Order ahead! The wait is long!!) Also closed on Mondays & Tuesdays. Radio is a great hang if you do decide to wait it out, but go early to find the full menu selection.
